A WOMAN DUELIST.
By HAROLD OTIS.
[Copyright, 190S. by American J'reiu Asso
ciation.)
Serane, fencing master at l'nrls,
when dueling was not only more com
mon but more serious there than now,
prepared the way for the killing of
many men by teaching his art to the
Parisians. It was generally under
stood that a pupil of Serane was sure
to kill his man. If his lessons were
really so valuable It must have been
partly owing to a special confidence
given the pupil and a corresponding
loss of nerve on the part of the oppo
nent. At any rate, those whom Serane
had taught usually had little trouble
In settling their disputes without re
course to the foil.
One evenlmr Serane was sauntering
down the boulevard hud on reaching
the opera concluded to go In and at
tend the performance. One of the
singers on the stage was a woman
named Maupln. Though she was not
singing an Important part, Serane's
gaze was constantly fixed upon her.
Why one woman's personnel will ap
peal to one man when another woman
Is the chief attraction for other men
Is an Insoluble problem. We only know
that the fact exists. In Manpln, Se
rane saw that which appealed to him
strongly. At the close of the perform
ance he sent his card to her and re
ceived an Invitation to call upon her
behind the scenes.
"M. Serane," she said as soon
as he appeared. "I deem myself for
tunate In yonr desiring to make my
acquaintance. You are well kuown to
me by reputation as a splendid teacher
of fencing, and 1 wish you to give me
lessons."
Serane found the singer as fascinat
ing in the greenroom as on the stage.
She was young, fairly good looking,
and about her was a certain abandon
which when not too pronounced Is at
tractive to men. Serane fell desperate
ly in love with her, and she permitted
him to love her in order that she
might get out of him all the skill In
feuclng be was capable of imparting.
She was an apt pupil and. taught by
a lover, became the most skillful fencer
that had ever l>eon turned out from
his academy.
No sooner had Maupln acquired the
art than she began to attract atten
tion as a duelist. At first her affairs
with the sword leaked out as mere
rumors. One report was that a young
nobleman who had been devoted to
her had fallen by her hand: that, dis
guised In men's apparel, she had in
sulted him and killed him without his
knowing of her Identity. Again it was
rumored that she had fought and ktllod
another woman. That she was apply
ing her skill In affairs of this kind
there was no doubt, though somo that
were attributed to her had no founda
tion In fact.
She liked to haw Serane with Her
both on account of his devotion and
because his presence gave her addi
tional cclat as a swonlswoman. But
he came to understand that she craved
blood or the excitement of taking it,
and he endeavored to dissuade her
from her course.
One night Serane and Maupin were
dancing at a students' bail in tho
Latin quarter when Maupin Jostled
the belle of the evening, and upon tho
girl's looking at her resentfully Mau
pin was rude to her. The Insulted
girl was dancing with an Intimate
friend of Sernno. Gnstav Grammont.
Grammont, supported by two other
men. ordered Maupin to leave the
room. She said that she would do so
provided they would go with her. They
did so. and before morning she had
killed them all.
Serane In this affair refused to sup
port Maupin. Indeed, she was obliged
to call on another man to act as her
second. The day after she had killed
Grammont and the others Serane re
delved a uote from her accusing him
of cowardlcc in having deserted her In
the hour of need and challenging him
to mortal combat. Stung to the quick
by her ingratitude, he seut a hasty
reply accepting the challenge.
The man who had been a lover and
had taught the object of his lovo to
kill people, filled with a mad remorse,
resolved to kill her. thus punishing her
and stopping her career of bloodshed.
They met In his academy, the doors
of which had been bolted and the win
dows screened. Maupin stepped out
on to the floor with as much composure
as a mother would administer food to
a babe. She looked at Serane with a
stony stare and said:
"Serene's pupils always kill their
opponents."
There can be no doubt but the wom
an said this to Jill her antagonist with
a superstitious dread that would take
away his nerve. If it had any such
effect. Serane gave no evidence of it
A revulsion of feeling had come over
him. Had this not occurred, had ho
opposed Maupin as a lover, as she had
presumed he would, there would havo
been no chance for him. As it was It
was a fair Gght between them.
But with Serane in full possession of
his faculties there could not be a fair
fight between then:. As soon as Mau
pin saw that she had lost her power
over him she knew that. If he chose,
hf-r punishment had come. The mo
ment they crossed swords she saw In
Serane's eyes not only a determination
to kill her if he could, but a perfect
ronfldence of belnsr able to do so.
Singularly enough, this woman who
had conquered men with men's weap
>ns no sooner discovered that her worn
inly Influence over the man who had
furnished her with her power had
rrased than every particle of her con
fidence deserted her. She gave her
opponent n? mute look of appeal. He
snswered It .with & sword thrust to
the heart
WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence]
' Destruction of tho far famed Whit# |
i House tennis court, where played the
?o called "ltoosevelt tenuis cabinet,"
to rnqke room for additional working
quarters for tho executive clerical
staff, began a few days ago, when ex
cavators marked off tho ground for
pick and shoveL
Tills was tho beginning of a renova
tion of tho White House and further
Improvements ordered by President
Taft.
Whit* House Renovation.
Each succeeding administration or
ders a renovation of the executlvo res
idence. Sometimes the changes are
radical and elaborate. The Tafta have
decided to have It done on a leas ex
tensive scale. The cost of the pres
ent Improvements will be but a little
more than one-tenth of that of the
changes tnado by the Roosevelts dur
ing their first year In the White
House. Seven years ago about half a
million dollars was spent In remodel
ing the Interior of the White House
proper and In erecting the east and
west wings. Including the present ex
: ecutlve office building. President Taft
will expend not more than $15,000 for
Improvements In tho main building
I and $40,000 In increasing the slzo of
j the office. .
Special Waiting Room.
Both In the White nouse proper and
In the new offices no attempt at gran
deur will be essayed. Provision will
be made, however, for better accom
modations for tho scores that flock to
the White House dally to seo the pres
ident. A spoclal waiting room will
bo provided for representatives and
; senators, but it will be In marked con
trast with the gold adorned chamber
that congress provides for tho presi
dent's use when he goes to the capltol
at the end of each session.
The president's efforts at public
economy are shared cheerfully, it is
said, by Mrs. Taft. So far in the di
rection of simplicity and economy la
she wllltng to go that her present in
tention Is not to avail herself of the
customary privilege of purchasing
china of new design, to be handed
down to posterity as "the Taft eet."
Department Clerks Get Busy.
Clerks In the big government de
partments are hustling these days.
No more do they loiter to their desks
In the mornlug. They are trying as
hard as they can to got over the clock
watching habit which has prevailed
among them for years. Typewriters
click merrily all the livelong day, and
a general atmosphere of concentrated
industry prevails.
This great boost in energy is due to
the fact that a well defined impres
sion prevails that the Taft administra
tion proposes to seo to it that Idlers
will not be maintained on Uncle
Sam's payroll.
Clark* Not Overworked.
The average government cleric In
Washington? and this fact cannot bo
disputed by those who know their na
tional capital? regards himself as ft
much abused person. The clerks now
have an organization and are conduct
ing a movement to have congress es
tablish a system of civil pensions. All
tho clerks receive each year thirty
days of sick leave and thirty days of
vacation leave. Salaries are not large
In comparison with the Increased coat
of living, but It Is true that the aver
age government clerk receives more
money than he would bo able to earn
In outside employment
New Design For Barry Statue.
Because Irish American societies ob
jected to his original model Andrew
O'Connor, the Irish American sculp
tor, located In Paris, has submitted a
new model of tho statuo of Commo
dore John Karry, to bo erected in
j Franklin park, in this city.
On account of these protests the
commission required Mr. O'Connor to
submit another model eliminating all
the features of the original model t?
latlng to purely Irish history. Tho
new design is simply a figure of Bar
ry on a plain pedestal inscribed with
his name and the arms of the United
States navy, in front of which is a
sroup of two female figures In flowing
drapery representing "Erin" and "Co
lumbia" and typifying "the sacred
fire of Erin for the republic."
A Soft Hearted Statesman.
Senator Robert L. Taylor of Tennes
see delights to tell a story on himself
which Illustrates how he came to be
known as "the pardoning governor of
Tennessee." Senator Taylor has one j
of the tonderest hearts of any man In I
public life. lie served as governor j
of Tennessee for three terms and !
signed pardons for more than 2,000 In
mates of various penal institutions In
the state.
In one instance he pardoned an old
mountaineer from eastern Tennessee
who had gone to the penitentiary, and
a few months later be let out a mem
tor of the same family. When the
mountaineer had been home a few
months, hardly long enough for th?
community to forget he had been in
jail, a camp meeting revival was held
in the neighborhood. The mountain
eer, who was more or less of a hea
then, dropped In. During the meeting
several of the "sisters" gathered
around, the old man and begged him to
"shake hands with the preacher" and
! "consecrate his soul to the Lord."
j "My good man, do not forget the par
doning power of the Lord," said one
of them. "lie will not hesitate one
minute if you dedicate yourself to
him."
i "Well, I don't know much about the
pardoning power of the Lord," replied
the mountaineer, "but If he don't I
j know Bob Taylor will."

??Our Little girl was two months old
when sho got * rash on her face and
within five day* her face and head wero
all ono tore. We used different reme
dies but it got worse instead of better
and we thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall off. Sho
suffered terrihlr, and would scratch
until the bkv>a osmo. At night wo
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until sho was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to prow
worse. Ho said it was eczema, when
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in tlireo
weeks ? what a change 1 I kept using
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign of a sore and sho
was as fair as a new-born babv, and all
for the small cost of a dollar an J seventy
flvo cents where we had spent t?-n
times tho monoy for doctoring. Sho
is now two years old and has not hod a
