Text Appearing Before Image:
s arms,with a despairing Kamerad. It is his onlychance to escape a drop of some thousand feet anddeath. The air fight is the sole relic of old-time romanticwarfare. It is a matter of wits and courage, strengthand endurance to the end. Those modern knightsride their petrol steeds, with their gun-lances atilttheir shoulders, in the lists of the clouds and bound-less eternity, with the smiling Queen of Victoryawaiting their victorious return below. Her nameis no commonplace feminine equivalent, but theproud cognomen Duty. Of these graceful duels one cannot forbear tomention the affair of Rouzier Dorcieres, a personalityfamous in two continents ; a composite of Cyranode Bergerac and dArtagnan.

Thelatter approached him after dinner, as Dorciereswas sipping his coffee in the lounge. So you are Rouzier Dorcieres ? he said sneer-ingly. I recognize you. And they say you havenever been touched in a duel. Well, I am sorry Ihave never had the good fortune to meet you inone. But you will have the chance to meet me,replied Dorcieres heatedly. The Prussians expression grew dark. Mon-sieur, he said, I shall meet you here before tenoclock with my seconds and the swords. We willsettle this affair before I depart. Will you awaitme ? The duellist waited, but no Prussian appeared.He had departed hurriedly. And from that eveninghe registered a mental vow to obtain satisfactionfrom his cowardly assailant, somewhere, sometime,somehow. With this object he enlisted in the French AirService on the outbreak of war
