The King's
Scapegoat
An Account of a Duel Fought
In the Sixteenth Century.
By F. A. MITCHEL
[This story Is more than a story. It
Is n historical account of a duel that
occurred 400 years ago and a fine Il
lustration of the difference between
tho method of settling affairs of hon
or among men In tho olden time and
tho beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury, when mortal combat to settle dif
ficulties between Individuals may be
said to havo received Its quietus in the
new world in the death of Alexander
Hamilton at the hands of Aaron Burr.]
"How comes It, Guteliot, that you
are able to mako so brave a show with
the revenues which you have, for I
know that they are not excessive?"
Tho question -was asked of Guy Cha
bot Sleur do Jarnac by tho dauphin,
who aftorward became Henry II., king
of France.
Jarnac, embarrassed at such a ques
tion, was unfortunate in the choice of
words used in his reply. He said that
his stepmother kept him, giving hlin
everything he required. Henry delib
erately misconstrued the statement
and reporti'<l to members of the court
that Jarnac had boasted of a love af
fair with his stepmother.
Horrified, Indignant at such an ac
cusation. the young man publicly de
clared that whoever had made the as
sertion was "a malicious villain and
bad wickedly lied." Then, hastening
to his father's chateau, he threw him
self at Ills feet and protested that he
was Innocent of tho charge. Having
convinced his father, he returned to
court intent upon avenging the injury
done him.
The dauphlu found himself in a very
unpleasant position. When princes err
there must be a scapegoat. Francis
Vlvowne, Sleur de Chatagnerie, a cour
tier in favor both with King Francis
and the dauphin, n young warrior of
great prowess, though a friend of Jar
nac, seeing that ho would confer a
great favor on tho future king by do
ing so, took up the quarrel in his be
half, doclaring that It was to him and
him alone that Jarnac had made his
boast.
Duels at this time were a part of the
feudal tradition and law of France,
requiring tho consent of the king.
Francis referred the matter to the
privy council, which after a long debato
recommended that permission to light
be refused. Rut no sooner had the
king died and the dauphin ascended
the throne than Chatagnerie addressed
a letter to the new king, repeating his
accusation, whereupon Jarnac made
a request that the duel be permitted to
take place. Tho king consented, and
arrangements for the contest were
forthwith made.
Chatagnerio was twenty-six years
old. while lils adversary was thirty-six.
Tlio former was also of great strength
and very ready with his sword. IIo
was continually boasting of his feats
of arms and ever ready to pick a quar
rel. In short, he was just the man to
vindicate his royal master in his con
temptible charge.
At that time the same rule of the
code, that the challenged party should
have the choice of arms, existed as it
has since. Jarnac had accused his ad
versary of a lie and had been challeng
ed: therefore ho was permitted to Bght
in any way he pleased. Upon the ad
vice of his fencing master he demand
ed the heavy armor and long double
edged swords in vogue a century be
fore. The reason for this was that his
opponent had been wounded in battlo
in the right arm and had never re
gained perfect use of it, and the
heavy iron gauntlet and sword would
naturally hamper tho movements of
this arm. Chatagnerie's great strength
gave him an advantage in closing with
his enemy, downing him and stabbing
him while prostrate. The armor in this
case would be to his disadvantage.
Jarnac also stipulated for heavy
shields, which would be an advantage
to the weaker party, who would nat
j urally be on the defensive.
Chatagnerie seemed to have no fear
| whatever of making an easy conquest
' of his adversary. As ho was aceus
j tomed to boast of the deeds he had
I performed, he now boasted of the deed
j he was about to perform. He ordered
j a banquet to be served in his tent on
1 the field, to which ho invited the court
to celebrate his victory.
Naturally the affair was the sensa
tion of the day. The courtiers were
largely on the side of the king's scape
goat, and Henry did not deny that his
own sympathies were with Chata
gnerie. The provincial nobility, of
whom the Jarnac family were mem
bers, regarded Jarnac as the defender
of their honor and looked upon him as
their champion. One of the powerful
Guise family was to act as second for
the royal scapegoat, and the Duke de
Vendome of a rival family to the
Guises asked the king's permission to
act for Jarnac. He was refused and, dis
gusted at the king's favoritism, with
drew, followed by the other princes
of the blood. The constable of France
then filled the position.
The king having announced his In
tention to preside at the encounter, the
constable made arrangements in ac
cordance with the dignity of the occa
sion. The field having been selected, a
space for tho combat was marked on*
and suitable accommodations provided
for the king, court and nobility, the
king and his tribune in the center, the
tribune being tho constable and mar
! shnls of France, who were the judges.
The day of the duel was a beautiful
morning in midsummer. Crowds from
Paris began early to pour forth to
ward the battlegrouud. The nrchers
of the guard took the place of mod
ern policemen in keeping the crowd
from breaking through the barrier and
Invading the field of battle. The king
arrived, attended by his sister, princes
of tho blood and many nobles. A sin
gular feature was an executioner and
his assistants, who were Intended to
j take charge of the corpse of the van
quished, in case he was killed, for
hanging on a gibbet
As soon as the king was seated the
herald advanced and proclaimed the
combat, asserting that no one should
interfere with either of the combat
ants on peril of his life. Chatagnerle
left his tent, accompanied by some 500
of his friends. Jarnac next appeared,
escorted by the grand equerry and 120
gentlemen wearing his colors. The
shields of tlio combatants were hung
on either side of the king. Then came
the ceremony of the presentation of
tho arms, which was principally a test
ing of tho weapons. This having been
accomplished, there was another long
proclamation from the herald, and the
combatants having paraded around the
field, preceded by their arras, after a
religious ceremony in which each af
firmed his cause to be a just one, they
were conducted to their stations, and
tho herald, advancing, shouted, "Lais
sez aller les bons combatants," which
means In plain American, "Let 'em
go!"
Such la a condensation of the prelim
inaries to a duel In high life during the
middle of the sixteenth century. The
fight was by no means commensurate
with the preparation, for It was de
cided quickly. The duelists advanced,
Jarnac slowly, protecting himself with
his shield; Chatagnerle rapidly and
full of confidence. As soon as they
met the latter sprang upon his oppo
nent, aiming a crushing blow at his
head. Jarnac, Instead of warding off
the blow with his sword, as was to be
expected, received it on his shield and,
ducking, made a thrust for his oppo
nent's legs. lie struck Chatagnerle in
the hollow of the knee. Before the lat
ter could recover himself Jarnac re
peated the thrust at the same point
and cut the tendons, giving a new
phrase to dueling—tho coup de Jarnac,
which in those days was not a foul,
but perfectly legitimate. Chatagnerle
staggered, dropped his sword and fell,
the blood flowing from his wound.
A cry of nmazement greeted this con
quest of the champion swordsman of
France within a few seconds by one
who had no espccial reputation as a
man at arms.
jsy me coon or rone uu.v >nn*« touues
were open to the victor—lie might kill
lils opponent ami hand his body over
to the executioner to be hunged; he
might spare bis life after exacting a
restoration of bis honor by the van
quished confessing hlmsolf to be in er
ror, or he might surrender him to the
king. Jnrnac called upon his enemy to
restore him his honor. Chatagnerle's
reply was an attempt to rise, but it
failed. Jarnac, then advancing to the
king, said:
"Sire, I entreat you to esteem mc a
man of honor. I give you Chata
gnerie's life. It is our youth alone
which is the cause of this trouble. Let
no Imputation rest either on his family
or upon him on account of his offense,
for I surrender him to you."
Put the king, not realizing that bis
scapegoat was unable to continue the
fight, made no answer. Jarnac raised
his eyes to heaven. "Lord, I am not
worthy, for It Is not to myself, but to
thee, that I owe the victory." Then,
returning to Chatagnerie, he bogged
him to surrender. But the scapegoat,
raising himself on one knee and re
gaining his lost sword, endeavored to
strike. Jarnac stepped back, saying,
"Po not move or I will kill you."
"Kill me," replied (be vanquished man
and fell back exhausted- from loss of
blood.
Again Jarnac went to the king and
Implored him to give him the victory,
a victory which condemned the king
himself, but Henry refused. Jarnac,
expecting that his former friend would
bleed to death, cried: "Sire, be Is dy
ing. For the love of heaven, accept his
life at my hands!" Henry, refusing to
pronounce his own condemnation, still
refused till the constable joined his en
treaties to those of Jarnac. Then
Henry, seeing that the sympathies of
the assembly were against him, said
to Jarnac, "You have done your duty,
and your honor should be restored to
you." And he ordered that Chatn
gnerle be removed. Jarnac had the
right to be escorted from the field by
his followers to the sound of martial
music, but he declined the honor.
When he refused the king, having had
time to curb his disappointment, call
ed him to the tribune and, as the vic
tor was about to kneel to him, em
braced him, saying that he had fought
like Caesar and spoken like Aristotle.
Never was there such multiplicity of
preparation for so brief a contest, nev
er a more flagrant case of a man guilty
of a contemptible act accepting the de
fense of another and being judge of
the issue, withholding the verdict un
til forced by opinion to pronounce it
At the conclusion of the tournament
the brilliant assembly broke up, and,
tho king leading the way, all returned
to Paris.
Jarnac's victory fell no less heavily
on the king than on his defender.
Chutagnerie felt his fall so keenly that
he refused to live after It The sur
geons bound his knee with bandages,
but he tore them off. Again they put
them on, and again the miserable man
tore them off, repeating the act till at

RECOVERED
Los Angeles, July 7—A ' party
of wreckers has been working
'juiitly ia Alaska waters to recover
t)'e sold on the steamer Islander,
which went down in 1002 with a
heavy loss of life. The spot at
which the boat went down has been
a matter of guess work and all ef
forts to locate the wreck to recover
the gold failed until the boat was
discovered last year by a fisherman
and he interested the local divers
who finally sent a small ship north
and worked the past year to re
cover the gold dust in the safe of
the shi£>.
The Islander struck a largo ice
burg o£f Taku glacier some distanco
south ■' Juneau. The boat was
crowded with returning prospectors
and miners from the Dawson coun
try, and they were taking o"t a
large amount of gold with them,
besides which heavy express ship
ments were made on the boat and
all the gold was lest with the
boat.
Efforts have been made for fif
teen years to locate the exact spot
at which the boat took her last
vlu'ite but until this year no one
knew just where the accident had
happened. It is stated that when
'he bout was lost fully $250,000
went down with the ship but the
divers have recovered only $100,000.

A curious feature to travelers on the
highroads of Norway Is the great num
ber of gates—upward of 10,000 in the
whole country—which have to be open

the boundaries of the farms or sepa
rate the home fields from the waste
lands, constitute a considerable incon
venience and delay to the traveler, who
has to stop his vehicle and get down to
open them.
Very Much So.
