'I 'll kill you!' shouted José.
Miguel laughed rudely and answered, 'You could never kill me;but I could kill you!'
'Just try!' José shouted back. 'We'll fight a duel in the park at five o'clock tomorrow morning.'
'No, not in the park.'Miguel answered. 'The police might see or hear us there. Let's go out to a quiet place in the country.'
'All right,' said José, 'I accept. Let's go to San Antonio by the first train tomorrow morning. That's where I usually fight my duals.'
'I do too,' answered Miguel.
The next morning they went to the railway station together, and José bought a return ticket, but Miguel bought a single one.'
'Ho, ho!' said José, 'so you don't expect to return? I always get a return ticket.'
'I never do,' answered Miguel calmly,'I always use my opponent's other half.'
