The Ring-side Followers Frantic—A Remarkable Scene. Referee Ends Fierce Battle in the Fortieth Round. Richmond Arena, Cal., Feb. 22.—His face battered to a pulp, his eyes closed, covered with blood, and staggering helplessly about the ring, Battling Nelson, conqueror of Joe Gans, was saved from a knock-out in the fortieth round of his fight with Ad Wolgast today when Referee Eddie Smith humanely stopped an unequal contest. Nelson, game to the last, stood in the center of the ring, and though he could hardly raise his hands, begged to be allowed to continue. He was led to his corner heart-broken. In the opposite corner of the ring the new lightweight champion of the world, Ad Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich., was lifted to the shoulders of his trainers while the big crowd cheered. HAD ONE CHANCE Only once did Nelson have a chance. In the twenty second round, with a stinging right cross to the jaw, he staggered Wolgast and before the round closed he dropped Wolgast in the middle of the ring with a similar blow. Three seconds were toled before Wolgast regained his feet. The crowd prepared to leave the arena as the word went from bench to bench that another boy had fallen victim to the wonderful durability of the Dane. But in the next round Wolgast recuperated, and from then on slowly but surely wore Nelson down. COULDN'T SEE OR HEAR For twelve rounds before the finish Nelson seemed bewildered and his blews were delivered as though his arms were stiff. From the thirtieth round Nelson could hardly see or hear. The left side of his face had lost all semblance of its former contour. He staggered and bung on. In the thirty-seventh round he was all but out. In the thirty-eighth round John Robinson, Nelson's manager, wanted to throw one sponge into the ring, but Abdul the Turk, another of the seconds, tore it from his hands and threw it into the bucket.

Baltimore, Feb. 22.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, tonight issued a challenge to Ad Wolgast for a twenty-round contest, to be fought anywhere the champion wishes and under any conditions he may name. Gans said that he would go to New York next week and post $1,000 to bind the agreement if accepted, and that he would also make a side bet of $5,000. "This thing is not a question of money, however," the former champion added, "and I want it understood that I believe I can lick Wolgast." Gans declared he was in good physical condition and was confident that he could get back to his old-time form.

RICHARD HAMILTON. WILLIAM HAMILTON. BENJAMIN HAMILTON. Dr. W. F. Graham Writes of the Work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Richmond, Va., Feb. 22, 1910. To the Members and Friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention and our Educational Work:— Dear Friends:— Very recently the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg was put at a sore disadvantage by reason of a rigid quarantine enforced for more than two weeks, thus cutting off financial and other supplies and incapacitating the faculty for work. During all that time 110 students were shut up in the building not allowed to be taught, not allowed to go anywhere, and the other half of the school shut out in the city. You can readily see that President Diggs and the faculty have met with sore reverses. Therefore in order to meet pressing needs and carry the work on properly at $700.00 is needed. The Executive Committee ordered letters sent out to all the churches appealing for help. To my personal knowledge some responses have been immediate. The Grand Old Court St. Baptist Church, Lynchburg, soon raised $22.10, Dr. W. W. Brown, of Pittsburg, Dr. s. $30.00 from his church, Dr. S. A. Moses of Harrisonburg, Va., s. $15.50, Dr. W. T. Hall sent his personal check for $5.00, Dr. C. H. Phillips, $2.00, Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., $22.07, Fifth Street Sunday School $2.25, The National Baptist Sunday School Union $2.00. We are asking every church in the bounds of the state convention and its educational territory to send something at once to President J. R. L. Diggs, Lynchburg, Va. STILL ALIVE Be it understood brethren that the principles upon which the Virginia Baptist State Convention stands are still alive. They will ever be alive. We cannot go back from them, we must be manly, we must do something for ourselves in a way that will gain for us respect and appreciation. Indeed the principles which we represent are spreading everywhere. Negroes throughout the broadland are beginning to learn that if they would succeed in life self-help must be an underlying principle of their civilization. Already more farms are being bought, more homes secured, better churches built, hotels opened, more than fifty banks running successfully and a thousand other enterprises which heretofore have not been entered into by the Negro race are now being managed and controlled by its leaders. It must be remembered that this widespread manly, noble high stand taken by the race has been largely instigated and urged on by the course taken by those of us who represent the Virginia Baptist State Convention and the great National Baptist Convention. THE GREATEST NEGRO ORGANIZATION. It must be remembered that we are a part of the greatest Negro Organization in the world. There are in the United States in round numbers 2,040,000 Negro Baptists. All of these belong to the National Baptist Convention except about 35,000 thus leaving in the National Baptist Convention 2,005,000. Now by brethren, this righty army of Negro Baptists constitute that great force which controls the Negro Baptist schools of the country, the Foreign Mission work in Africa, the great National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., nearly all the Negro banks of this country, nearly all the insurance companies, more than half of the Negro newspapers, the most prominent Negro men of the world, and the bulk of the Negro's wealth. Did you know that no other Negro church in all the world has ever raised $7,500 in one rally but a Negro Baptist Church? Ask Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia, ask if his church is not a National Baptist Convention church—we are the people. GREAT DIVINES TO BE THERE Now brethren, members of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses and fellow comrades, let us awake and look forward to the meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Convention at Suffolk in May, where we will meet such men as Drs. G. L. P. Tallferro, E. W. Moore, Alexander Gordon, R. W. Goff, W. A. Creditt, W. H. Phillips, J. C. Jackson and others from Philadelphia. Drs. W. Bishop Johnson, J. Anderson Taylor, Walter H. Brooks, Milton J. Waldron, A. Wilbanks, M. W. D. Norman, A. J. Tyler and others of Washington, D. C. and may we not look for the noblest Roman of them all the grand old sage and hero of Baltimore, Dr. Harvey Johnson from New York, Drs. Holland Powell, J. C. Brown, Granville Hunt and others. And then what an army will there be from our own state when President Bowling rises Wed- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1910. nesday morning, May 11, 1910, and announces "the Convention will please come to order." Get ready brethren. Commence now raising your moneys for Home Mission, Foreign Mission and Virginia Seminary. Richmond will be there. Fifth Street Baptist, New Baptist, Mt. Vernon, Second Baptist, Manchester, Zion Baptist, Manchester. Yes, we are coming with our colors flying. Yours for the work. W. F. GRAHAM. CAN'T USE GRAVE EXCEPT FOR ONE Barton Heights Gets Favorable Report on Bill to Stop Cemetery Congestion. Richmond, Va., Feb. 22.—Not often is the length or a funeral procession the subject of dispute before the General Assembly, but such was the case yesterday afternoon when a few old colored people who own lots in the colored cemeteries in Barton Heights, known as Ham's, Cedarwood, Union, Methodist, Sycamore, Ebenezer and Mechanics, appeared before the Senate Committee on General Laws and humbly begged a few feet of earth there for their "God's acre," when they served their appointed time. It came out in the course of discussion that the people in Barton Heights object to the mile-long processes of the colored brethren and sisters who turn out for "the last sad rites." No longer will the dismal dirge alarm the citizens of Barton Heights, nor the processes of the sisters in their white kerchefs add picturesque to the funeral scene. For, obedient to that law of progress which decrees that small bodies shall do that which used to require large ones, the colored folks will hereafter appoint a "committee" to take the place of the old-time procession. So much in acquiescence to the popular demand in Barton Heights. TOO MANY GRAVES. Louis O. Wendenburg appeared to protest against allowing burials in these old cemeteries unless the interments could be made where none had been made before. The oldest of these cemeteries, he pointed out, dated back to 1810, and he claimed that in the space where 17,000 only ought to have been buried, some 54,000 are at rest. In digging graves, old ones were opened up, and sanitation is the basis of the plea of Barton Heights against allowing any more burials in these cemeteries. The colored advocate, Gilles Jackson, presented the case of the lot owners. In the old days the cemeteries had been far out in the country, but the growth of the city sent white people out to Barton Heights. Many of the lot owners were very aged, and had owned lots for many years, and he claimed that such lots ought not to be confiscated. CAN'T GET WRITTEN PROOF. The objection to the present law is, he said, that written proof is required to show that where a grave is proposed to be dug no one else has been buried. "The nigger has got no records," said Jackson. "The white man never started to teach him to write till just a little while back. Don't you worry about a nigger digging up the dead people—you know as well as I do that the colored man is going to be done left when they dig up a dead man's head." City Attorney Gardner, of Barton Heights, said that the colored burial problem has been a standing municipal question. He asked that the law remain as it is, on the ground of sanitation, and because the length of the funeral processions disturbed the people in his town. Several old colored men spoke briefly, assuring the committee of their good faith, and one gray-haired woman said that for thirty years she had owned a lot in one or the graveyards, and for all that time had cherished the hope that she could some day lie there among the relatives and friends of "old times." It was decided by the committee that the bill should have a favorable report. Hereafter, if the bill becomes law, funerals will be permitted in places not used before.—Times-Dispatch. House Completely Destroyed. Warm Springs, Va. Feb. 14.—On Saturday the 12th inst., between 7:30 and 8 P. m. amid a heavy snowstorm, and with snow covering the ground to the depth of several inches the residence of Mr. J. W. Jones with whom Miss Martha B. Bannister, of 749 N. Ninth Street, Richmond, ma., boarded, was burned to the ground. The loss was a heavy one. Miss Bannister losing everything but what she wore at the time. She also loss about fifty dollars in money. She suffered much from the excitement. Art Training For Children. Lincoln Institute Jefferson City Mo. Feb. 21, 1910. So few parents take any interest in teaching or having their children taught art. Is it because they have not been taught in this science themselves, and think it is of no use to the little ones? If so, let me dissolve their minds or such a thought and tell them it is one of the most important subjects of modern educational thought. The Greeks of old were the cleverest people or their day and all their children were taught to draw. It is true these gifts are not always inherited and it is not always the inherited talent that succeeds. Faculties developed by hard work directed to a good purpose often bring success to their owner, than does the inherited talents. Drawing trains the young mind to observation as no other study can do. It provides an exercise for mind and memory and the teacher soon realizes that it gives back to the child the time it took to study it. It does this by making their memory more retentive; their observation more acute. Parents make a great mistake by not starting their children while young. Youth is the time to give them a start, and to show them that you are anxious to assist them in making their lives profitable. So many mothers say, "I would like my daughters to learn drawing and painting, but with their studies they have not the time. Little do mothers think what a recreation they would be giving to the minds of their children. Parents do not realize that the proper study of drawing is a rest to the ordinary hild. It relies on them of the pressure breasted from their youthful minds by hard study. It is the most interesting form of mental play. It relieves any tendency to brain strain. Many artists who make money in the profession or illustrating, took up drawing when they were anywhere from twelve to eighteen years of age. Many of the best illustrators of the United States, are women, making good salaries. Let the parents take more interest along this line or art, and to see to it that their children are taught while young. Respectfully yours, MRS. F. E. H. WASSOM.

BULLDOGS LYNCHED BY MAN WHO SURC THEY BIT Blacksmith Caught Two as They Fought His Fice and Quickly Cut Their Throats, Arrested Later for Cruelty. Richmond, Va., February 22 — To save his little cur dog from sudden and violent death in an unequal combat with two bulldogs belonging to Willie Thornton, or Charity Street near St. Paul, Daniel E. Worthy, owner of the fice, picked up the bulldogs and cut the throat of each, killing them almost instantly. When they set upon the cur the owners tried to separate them, but the battle was going so fast that this feat was impossible. "Get your dawg off n' mine," each shouted to the other, but the dogs, thinking it was the sound for the charge, went at it all the harder. The cur was held fore and aft. With a yell of anger, Worthy drew a knife or razor, no one ever knew which, and grabbing at the nearest bull, slashed his throat from ear to ear. The dying animal fell at his feet with a groan, and Worthy picked up the other, almost severing his head from his body. Thornton's wife, seeing her pets dying at her door, became hysterical, and Thornton called a carriage. "To Dr. J. P. McDonough's," he said, "and drive fast. The dawns is like chillun to me." The driver whipped up his horses, and everybody let them pass. An officer halted them, but they were around the corner in a second. Dr. McDonough's office is on South Jefferson Street, nearly a mile away, but it didn't take Thornton long to make the trip. When he got back his wife had placed each dog on one of his coats, and was weeping over them as Rachel wept over her children after Heroil's messenger of death had gone his fatal rounds through the city. "No use," said Dr. McDonough. "Their souls are already in flight to the bulldog's happy hunting ground." As he finished rendering his verdict, they gasped their last, and the woman was taken, half fainting, into the house. Worthy stood by and Thornton called an officer. Bicycle Policeman Krengel responded, and he called Magistrate J. A. Purdie. On Thornton's oath, the magistrate issued a warrant for Worthy's arrest, charging him with cruelty to animals. He was arrested and bailed on the spot, and will appear in Police Court this morning. He is a husky man, of unusual size and his powerful muscles were wrought at the flaming gorge. He is a blacksmith by trade. Both men represent the better class of negroes, and there was much excitement in the neighborhood over the sudden and unusual form of justice meted out to the bigger canines. The cur licked his wounds, tucked his tail between his legs, and followed his master home. He gazed up with grateful eye, and licked the hand that saved him when he arrived home, and then crawled under the bed to sleep it off—TimesDispatch JUDGE SETS ASIDE VERDICT OF JURY Charles White, Convicted of Handling Cocaine, Gets a New Trial. Charles White, the colored sporting man recently convicted in the Hustings Court of having cocaine in his possession, has been awarded a new trial by Judge Witt. The jury that tried White fixed his punishment at four years in the penitentiary. His counsel, Gilbert K. Pollock, moved to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was contrary to the law and evidence in the case. Judge Witt heard argument Saturday on the motion and decided to set aside the jury's verdict. It was shown that while cocaine was found on the premises occupied by White no evidence was produced to show that the man had any knowledge of the drug being there.

HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The Fifth Street Baptist Church enjoyed another grand time last Sunday. The purposes of God are ripening more and more and unfolding every hour. Wisdom is permeating the hearts, and knowledge is pleasant to the souls of its members. A broader conception of religion marks a new epoch in its history, and the church feels that God is God-likely pouring upon blessing upon it. Persons are joining, others applying for membership and the attendance at services is gradually increasing more and more each Sunday. Every department or the church enjoys a steadily harmonious growth, spiritually and numerically. Last Sunday morning our Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, preached a wonderful sermon on "Justification." The choir as usual rendered excellent music. The entire service was pleasant and sweet. At 3:30 o'clock members from two churches began to assemble at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, the occasion was special and unique. The members of the Leigh Street M. E. Church assembled at and with the members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church with Rev. C. E. Hodges, B. D. Pastor of Leigh Street M. E. Church, presiding to listen to a special sermon. Subject, "Handwriting on the Wall" by Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., Pastor of Fifth Street Baptist Church. The scene was extraordinary and inspiring, while the large congregation witnessed some of the revealed purposes of the allwise God, by the words "All ye are brethren." A fine program had been arranged. Music was furnished by three of Richmond's best talented male songsters with Miss Edmonia Anderson, presiding at organ. Col. Thomas M. Crump sang a sweet solo, and charmed the congregation with his sweet musical voice. It is said that he sung as he never did before, 1st chap. 13th chap. Prayer by Rev. Paul Easley, Dr. Q. W. Moine sang one of his choicest solos, his heavy round mellow voice carved the air into melodious waves that broke into harmonious sounds, which delighted, as it were, the very soul. Rev. C. E. Hodges, B. D., in a few choice words, oratorically presented Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, who said, he had been selected to preach a special sermon. Subject, "Handwriting on the Wall." Rev. Dr. Graham preached an excellent sermon exploring its mines of contents, reasoning from cause to effect and gave the congregation wholesome advice. He made a lasting impression. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. L. Taylor, President, G. F. W. of True Reformers, Mr. Joseph Matthews, sang a fine solo. He held his own, his clear, distinct, smooth voice, striking, so to speak, upon the membrane of the tympanum whispered into the ear sweet music, which stirred the souls. Little Joe took his seat, but had to rise and favor the congregation with another sweet solo, which he did with like effect. At night the pastor preached another grand sermon to the delight of all present. --- The Sunday School continues to grow. Supt. B. B. Peyton is highly elated to see the children showing such interest, and to see so many of the deacons and adult members turning out on Sunday mornings. Arrangements are in contemplation looking to the church anniversary in June. Teacher's meeting will be held each and every Tuesday night for explanation of the lessons on Sunday Everybody is invited to these meetings as well as on Sunday.

The prayer services are getting along nicely. Last Wednesday night there was an exceedingly interest there. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Let every one com out and enjoy these meetings. Next Sunday will be communion. Last communion everybody had a nice time. Let everybody come out and make this communion an extra enjoyable one. The church mourns the loss of Deacon Roman, and is sorry that they did not have timely notice, regarding his death. His mourning relatives have our sympathy. Don't forget the lecture Monday night, March 14, 1910 at Fifth Street Baptist Church by Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis. Subject, "Fitz and Miss Fitz." Let every member re-register his name.

The RED MOUSE A Mystery Romance CHAPTER XV A NO. 10, the cities of Arizona where it is likely that in the most prevalent edition of poetry Shirley Beacock and her mother had given care for the stress enmium. The life in the open and under comparatively uneventful sur- roundings was much in the nature of a travel to the New York society women and the society of it as made a vivid impression on her. It was a busy day after the last described interview between Broderick bok and Burger of that Shirley or rival back it her removed New York once more. At the station she left hesitated as to where she would go as she had not noticed any of her friends of her return. I finally she concluded to go to the Belfry then an art gallery and conservatory here, where her family were known and she asked the head station porter to summon her a cab. At sight of the unpretentious hostel which relied on the distinction of possessing such a resounding name Shirley was conscious of a variety of emotions. For a time in the old days it had been the fashion to entertain the Bellephon, and Murgatrood had been the first to take her there. They showed her to her room a wonderfully old fashioned room without a partec of brass or ginger汁. It then the belfry was of wood, a good old installation to her eye and stunner. Shirley picked up one of the papers lying on the table. She started and laughed genuinely. A house had caught her by the Murray's finger. Paper after paper she now seemed and all mentioned his name, and without any invigoration was complied to their desire. The Father the most conservative even paper in the town was holding up its hands in respect to his wife's worship in a way that art had not allowed Murray's to do. It was insulting afterward. Murray affirmed had been so. His retaliation was just. It was referred to the father as a pitiful pass of affection. He had strengthened Murray's position. Shirley sat out. Oh what a hypocrite! It was after 9 o'clock when she whirled was rounded by a sudden that she was desperate for huges, on the dining room she directed her steps to a small alcove. Slither threw a glance around the room. Palma screened her table making it impossible for her to be seen, although it was perfectly easy for her to see every one in the room. The air of the city was full of life and body. It gave her an appetite. She enjoyed her dinner thoroughly and get her the rights wandered. If only Ruby had been different. Suddenly the palms were parted and a fat man apprehended her table. On seeing it occupied he mumbled his praise and backed out again. But while pushing big legs through the palms he extended a short arm and said That time over there in the The remark was made to a companion whom Shirley could not see. An answer of disappointment however, came in a minus tone. And the fit man his face was strange familiar Shirley was sure. Broderick that was the man the funny, vulgar politician who had been pointed out to her at the Challenger trial Shirley wondered what a man of his stammer was doing in the Rellephon. Somehow he did not seem to belong there. She noted how broad how terrifying broad was his back. But a power in politics the real thing* she murmured. It was not surprising, she told herself that men of refinement hesitated long before going into politics if this were a type of the men they had to compete with. Her thoughts running on in this strain she determined out of curiosity to get a glimpse of Broderick's companion. The man sat facing her. At the first glance Shirley was star tled. No it can't be possible that -- At that instant the stranger looked up and dispelled her doubts. She was face to face with the man who had filled her thoughts for the last two hours "And so that is Billy Murgatroyd" she gasped. He was different from the man she had pictured. And she would have gone on indefinitely criti cing his books, but she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of voices. It was Broderick talking his big voice filling the room. Shirley listened at tentively "Blamed good place to get away from the gang" she was saying, and there was a satisfied look on his face as he glanced about the room. Murgatroyd leaned forward and spoke. Instantly the tone of his voice and his manner told the girl that the relations between the two men were, in a degree confidential Broderick assumed the attitude of a political ad viser Shirley observed that he gesticulated a great deal but in none of his movements was there a suggestion of hostility. "And this is the use that Murgatroy had made of poor Miriam's money!" she cried to herself. "He's bribing the enemy" Shirley bowed her head to shame. Presently she lifted it again. Murgatroy rose and walked up and down behind the table, and, unseen herself, she scratched him closely. If anything he appeared to have lost flesh, she put his figure still retained its strong but fine lines. And Shirley was I came to a knowledge to herself that it had set out one of its grace. But on his face was the dull flush that results from the strain of enthusiasm, of over work. He asked fagged out, and his eyes were restless, though they glowed with stifness of purpose. One thing to wager impressed her more than anything else his demeanor toward her brother. There was within it a particle of that confidential concession that Bristolisk seemed ever ready to offer. On the contrary it suggested a suspicious watchfulness. Margaretud resembled a jonous task master who had set herself over a gold but unclean servant. And Bradley's wife did Bradley's kurture I had been that Shirley might see for her. He didn't face glance his whole being to rest the cunning of the way. He was tenderly person ified at it first he appeared to Shir les and she told him if she studied bih that, and see that he was beheaded, the man opposite him. Murray all was being fooled. There was no doubt about it. Murga travels for a fist of dollars of ex penalties for him. With Mr. Sanders paid for Shirley's delivery little was that I have been in this room for a while. What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? A few days ago dressed in light morning Shirley Household for the second time in her life wended her way to a certain tenement house not for from the last river. Surely I cannot be mistaken thus must be the place she took herself grounding in spirit. In reply to her inquiry for Strat that loner a little girl directed her to the apartment above the door of which was present opened by a woman with full rounded face, and entering a neat well furnished five room that Shirley was soon seated at the win dowd chowing with happy eagerness. The young woman with the full, fresh rounded face it can readily be imagined, was Miriam Challenger. You're been away more than three years. Shirley," sighed Miriam as she bent over a bit of fancy work "It hasn't seemed so long to me" returned Shirley. "though when we first wont wear I thought it would be nothing short of a nightmare - waiting for an old man to die "It must have been assented Miriam "No, it wasn't, because for the first time in my life I really came to know my father I thought I had known him long before but I made a mistake I never knew him until these last three years in Arizona I found out almost too late" "I always liked your father, Shirley, and I think he always liked me" was Miriam's remark "Yes, he did. But did you ever stop to think?" went on Bhrilcy hastily—why, my father never wronged anybody. My father was good my father was honest. Oh, I could accourge myself," she declared sadly, "for the things I used to think about father. I even told Murgatroyd once that, though I loved my father, I could never admire him, respect him. Miriam rose suddenly and kissed her. All this time Bhrilcy had been watching with growing curiosity the fancy work on which Miriam sowed so industriously. At last she vêtured: "Miriam. I'm a regular-old maid. I haven't been one hour in your house and already I'm burning up with curiosity to know just what you're making!" Shirley exclaimed: "Ian't it dainty? Who is it for, Miriam? Miriam looked squarely into the eyes of her friend. The next moment Shirley/had her arms about Miriam and cried joyfully. "You precious thing! I'm so glad! Why didn't you say so before?" I'm just a bit old fashioned, I'm afraid, murmured Miriam. "Now adaaya it's the thing to make such an announcements through a megaphone from the houseplop." Shirley drew a long brothi, saying: "Miriam, I wish I were happily my friend. I will thank you again." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "Yes, you are right," assented. Karl- am joyously, from whom had fed the recollection of all but the last few years. Shirley laughed and flushed. "I'll tell you a secret, Miriam." "We seem to be full of secrets today." "Yes," returned Shirley, "only yours is a respectable married woman's secret, inna mustn't be told. Well," she confessed at last, "I've seen Thorne since I came back and"- "No!" Miriam exculated. "Yes!" He proposed to me once more, and"- "You accepted him?" "No, if I had accepted him it would not be a secret" Miriam looked at her blankly "Why did you refuse him?" "That's just what I want to know P. A. B. "My father was paid my father was benevolent" myself I don't know why Somehow I couldn't marry Thorne" "Well for some unexplainable reason I'm glad of that assented Mr Islam Tell me about Margatroyd and myself Kidney suddenly seated myself "I haven't seen him" He is serving his second term as prosecutor you know. It seems he wanted to finish his work there" Started a job for head Who will with all that money? He will threaten want on Mr Islam are the United States senate rule. It's a question of a day or two week Starry's voice grew hard He told me that it cost her half a million dollars to be chosen senator Would it cost the money Not a word of Margatroyd 'whispered Miriam quickly The next moment the door opened and Lawrence cut that door came into the room CHAPTER XVII was strong a ruddy flush upon his face. In fact he looked so good that it was a willing hand that wout out to him in greeting. "Well this is a pleasure, and Shirley auditing. Laurie you're the picture of health. "And you Shirley-why you never looked better. What have you been doing with yourself all these years?" Mriam's happiness at theirpon taneous greeting was good to see. "If I dared I kiss you" Laurie went on naging naturally, but he compromised on his wife, who had been holding the bit of fancy work on which she sewed. Suddenly she glanced down at it. "Ob" she said, conscience strickan, and hurriedly thrust it into a closet. Challenger watched her in surprise, and when she returned he put his arm about her and kissed her once again. Shirley drew up her chair and set, herself back comfortably into it, turned to (Challoner and wont on excitedly, "Now tell me about yourself" "We're saved $100," began Miriam, answering for him and—" Five hundred dollars!" interrupted Shirley entering completely into the spirit of things "How did you over do it?" Miriam turned to Challoner, smiling "Laurie do you remember the day when we had saved our first $10?" "Shall I ever forget it?" returned her husband decretely, and turning to Shirley "The fact is somehow or other I've made good and done it in five years too." But you don't know what it means to me to us." "Tell her about your invention," suggested his young wife with pride. Challoner immediately launched forth. Shirley intending with great interest. But toward the close he said something about concrete and fronds which caused her to interrupt him. "Fraud? What fraud?" "Why, haven't you seen the paparazzi he inquired "The papers, world over almost, have commented on this political expose. I was at work on the hospital job at the time, and it was I who discovered that everybody in the job was attaching cement-boosters, and intermittents, inspectors, politiclam-why. even I was invited into the ring. There was money in it." he continued, "money for me—thousands." He paused. "That what good would that do me when the hospital fell down?" "Think what would have happened," interpelled Miriam. "If it had been fall of patients. It was good they found it out in time. It has to be rebuke." "But I wouldn't stand for the极! Challenger went on in his legitimate pride. "Maybe you know the rest!" He looked up questioningly, "I want to Murraystroyd. He did the rest. I helped him, of course, by testifying and all that sort of thing. I had to make good my accusations. But, pernail Murraystroyd didn't make those chops up and thigh! It crippled the "I'll be there later, and do it if" ""sudd, let's improvise" ""excelated" "Shifter" "and then add quickly, with a blush, ""good for you" "Luriece in business for himself." Miriam presently informed her. "Wee," answered Challenger enthusiastically. "I've got a bit of a reputation for honesty now. People that want an honest job done come to me. You'll begin to think I'm suffering from exaggerated ego," he finished, with a smile. "Well," said Miriam in justification, "any man who saves $500 in so short a time has a right to blow his own horn." "I bellevue in giving praise where it is due, protested her husband. "It was you, my dear, who saved it." "It returned Miriam depreciatingly." "Yes, through privation," said Challenger. Miriam sighed with joy. It was good to have some one appreciate the struggle. "I won't deny," presently she said, with a smile, "that it was rather trying at times, but it was a work of love, and we've succeeded." Blitzspring to her feet. "Lawrence Challoner, I'm going to kiss you. You're the kind of a man I'm looking for!" And impulsively she made good her word. "I'm proud of you," she went on. "You're the real thing; you're a success!" Laurie drew his wife closer to him. "They like a pair of doves," said Shirley to herself; then aloud, starting to the door. Miriam I'm going to up for dinner. I hope we're going to have a dozen courses I'm starved." When the door closed Miriam rose and started for the kitchen. "Miriam, girl!" said Challoner gently what have you been hiding from me for the past few weeks? "Hiding!" He pointed toward the closet. What have you been putting away there every night for the last few weeks? What is in that closet now? Miriam hesitated. She asked them politely. Do you really want to know? Yes! he answered in the same tone Miriam stepped to the closet, fum- bled there among some things and, re- turning thrust something into his hands. There" she said, blushing. Challenger held it up, looked at it a moment and "nally said with just a tinge of suspicion in his voice. "This thy dress, what?" He looked at his wife stupidly and after a time he added: "Why Miriam you never told me. A little child for you and me." Yes Laurie she whispered softly Acting upon impulse he cuddled the garment down into the crook of his arm and held it there. "A child-for me," he mused. After a moment he looked up and exclaimed, "I wonder if it is given to man to appreciate thoroughly the anticipation of motherhood—the hours given to fashioning little garments like this." Yet it seems to me now that I could work forever for" He broke off abruptly quite overcome. Miriam was deeply touched. "Never fear, there will be plenty of responsibility for you later on." Thus Shirley poked her head in through the door and called "Miriam the potatoes are burning!" Miriam left the room hastily, leaving Laurie striking the small garment "A father of a child" he mused "It's good to be a father—a good father. He dropped at the table and buried his face in his arms. But when he raised his head again there were tears in his eyes. "A little child for me—and I shot Hargreaves," he mouthed. Miriam came back into the room. At a glance she realized what was going on in his mind. She placed her hand affectionately on his shoulder and with tenderness said: "Don't you think any more about that, Laurie. You're a new man now." "I haven't thought of it for five years" cried Challenger fiercely. "I haven't dared to think of it! I haven't had time to think of it." He paused a moment then suddenly went on "But now I have got to think about it. I'm going to be a father." He sighed. "Foor Hargraves, I can see him now as he put up his arm." "Don't" Miriam pleaded "Forget it, dear." "I can't forget it!" he returned "It's all before me now." He glared into space as a man might who witnessed before his very eyes some conflict. "I can see it now—just as it happened." He caught her arm roughly and cried in a loud voice: "Miriam. Miriam. Listen, dear, I can see it now—just as it happened! Can you stand it, dear? "What is it? asked his young wife trembling with horror Challenger gripped her arm "I did not kill Richard Hargraves!" he cried in sudden joy "No. I did not kill him" Miriam tried to soothe him "No." evidently under great excitement. "I did not kill him. Five years ago everything was muddied. Life was a muddle then, and on that night at Crandlebaugh's everything was hazy. But now it's an clear as day. I can see it—I do see it!" He lifted his arm, his forefinger crooked significantly. "I shot." "Yes," she said eagerly, "you shot—" "You" shot at largreges, but I did not hit him. It's all come back. I can see it now!" And, pointing toward "the junction of the side wall and the collage, he went on to explain: "The bullet lodged in the panel of the wall. Hargraves put up his arm like this. I meant to kill him, and I shot, but I didn't bit him. I toppled over in the big chair. It started toward the door. I remember that. It's all come back in a flash." "Let," she protested, "you confessed." "Yes," she answered, "I tell you everything was unmade—life was hazy. I knew I shot at him—I knew I shot to kill. Of course I thought that I had done it, but it was not so. I tried to do it, and then—" She caught blim, wily, about the body and cried hysterically: "Little, are you sure?" "I know, I tell you, he answered. Tea, and there's one that knows. If it's Pamunchem." "He stopped and looked at the small dress, which through his excitement he had held in his arm. "I'm going to be a father," he went on, and it's well that I didn't kill Hargraves. But I have got to prove it. The world must know that I didn't kill him. Pemmican will prove it for me." Mrilam shook her head. "You remember his testimony at the trial. Laurie. Besides," she added softly, taking an old newspaper clipping from a small drawer of her desk. "Pemmican is dead." "Dead!" His voice rang out in astonishment. She placed her finger on her lips. "Why, he died in the county fall not long after I was tried!" exclaimed Challouer who was now reading the newspaper clipping "Willing, I, never killed Hargraves." He leaned over and kissed a tiny bit of ruffle. "I'm going to prove it for you and the little one." "Laurie." insisted Miriam, "are you sure?" "I was never surer of anything in my life than this." replied Challoner. "I tell you it has all come back to me like a flash. It was you, little one." he said bending once more over something imaginary in his arm. "that brought it back to me." "I've got to prove it." he repeated over and over again patting her head affectionately "But - Murgatroyd why if you were innocent"-- suddenly cried Miriam "Well?" "He ought to know it." "What do I care about Murgatroyd? What do I care about anybody but you and the little one that is coming-- coming to you and to me" "Laurie' breathed Miriam softly. I'm happy oh so happy! I know- P. W. H. "It is true I can see it—I know." I felt somehow that things would come out right. I don't care whether you ever prove this so long as we know Happy" she repeated as she nestled closer to him. I should think so, with $100 in the bank and a small business, and after awhile". "The most important thing now is that I certain I did not kill Harrages. That makes it easy for the next important thing—for you—my baby my little baby" CHAPTER XVII In the prosecutors office, to which they had access at all hours of the day, were Mixley and McGrath "How's the joint ballot?" called Mixley from across the room McGrath tossed a paper to Mixley In huge letters appeared one word. "Deadlock" Mixley smiled "Murgatroyd's hold in 'em, but that a all he's doin' But what of that? He's, got nothin' to hold on on Why everybody knows that he hasn't any money It's my opinion that the job goes to Thorne" "How can it be helped?" reasoned McGrath "Look at them brewers putting up maybe a quartet of a million to help Thorne out" say, what do you think the notes of the wine assemblymen were quoted at? "I wish I was an assemblyman," sighed Mixley "Twenty five thousand dollars aplece and a rising market growing stronger every minute" answered McGrath. "And them brewers 'll pay it too. One fellow wanted fifty thousand, an 'n' we'll get it see if he don't." "I wish I was an assemblyman," repeated Mixley wisfully. "You'd vote for Murgatroyd?" yelled McGrath. "You know you would. You wouldn't want a cont." "But I didn't an assemblyman," he answered, and in the next breath he added, "There's somebody at that there door." McGrath opened it, and Challoner, Mrs. Challoner and Shirley Bloodgood entered. Shirley stepped forward and said: "We want to see the prosecutor." "He's out," called Mixley. "We'll walk," chironed the visitors. Meanwhile Mixley and McGrath were still holding their desiccation conversation upon the situation of the day. "They said," Misty remarked to the other, "that the chief was politically dead after he had blackjacked the organization. Maybe he was—maybe he is, but he bighis all right." "He certainly cleaned things up," admitted McGrath, feeling of his biceps. "We helped him, oh!" "He didn't do a thing to Gradishaugh," mused Mixley. "Nor to the machine," smiled McGrath. "Well, anyhow," said Mixley. "If he hasn't got the machine and the brewers and the $25,000 assembly then back of him he's got the people, all right. They know he's housed!" "If he only bad half a million." The other snorted. "It's well he hasn't—well he never had. If he had huff a million he wouldn't be running for United States senator. Just like as not he'd be playing golf or running a devil wagon." The three visitors had been listeners to this conversation in silence, but Brilley could contain herself no longer, and, running to her companions, she said snortingly: "Nothing but his honesty to back him! Why, tyningch's too good for him!" And, as though her utterance of the phrase were the prosecutor's cue, Murgatroyd sauntered into the room. He looked at fresh and unconcerned as though he did not know that a bloodless battle was being fought for him down at the state capitol—a close battle at that. Challoner started nervously "Billy, I!" "Want to see me?" he inquired savely. "Yes," filtered Challoner, "alone, please." Murgatroyd took from his drawer a bundle of papers and handed it to Mixley, saying "Look up that excise violation right away. And McGarth," he continued, "there are three witnesses in the juvenile篮 case that we've got to have. Find them by 2 o'clock. You may go." Challoner advanced quickly toward the desk "Prosecutor Murgatroyd," he began, gulping, "it's up to you to clear me of that Hargreaves affair. I'm not the murderer of Hargreaves." Miriam and Nurley had risen Murgatroyd returned calmly. "I know it." "You know it!" gasped the three visitors, and the next moment the women were grouped around the prosecutor's desk "Yes," Murgatroyd mused, "I have known it for almost five years. You must have known it too." You don't say, so was Margrave's answer and presently he added though perhaps it is not so very surprising. Challenger's eyes narrowed. Suddenly he said. Somebody killed Hargraves. Who did it? The prosecutor looked at the man in credulously. Do you mean to tell me that though you know now that you didn't kill Hargraves, that you don't know who did kill him? "I'm here to find out." "Why thunderation?" ejaculated Margutroyd and looking the other squarely in the eyes went on. I knew that everybody didn't know but I thought you knew long ago that it was Pemian of Cradlebaugh who did it. "Pemianme" repeated "tioner as if to himself was the only man who knew, and he's dead." "Yes" assented Murgatroyd, he killed himself in jail. He confessed just before the court of appeals filed its opinion of affirmsm in your case. He had stolen $10,000 from Cradlebaugh's and had been threatened with prosecution for it. He had to replace the money. The opportunity came and he asked it. He knew that you hated Hargraves, knew that there was a motive on your part knew that you shot and missed knew that Hargraves had a lot of money on his person and he set out to get it. It was safe. He got it. and Hargraves, too, shot him dead with another gun after you missed him and paid back the money to Cradlebaugh's. Miriam burst out "And you have known this for years" Yes, he told her quietly his eyes wandering over Miriam's face, "but it's plain to me now that you haven't known it "How should we?" protested Challenger Murgatroyd frowned then he answered. "How? Because I advised your counsel. Thorne, and he was present when the order releasing you was signed. It was his duty not mine, to communicate with you. "Thorne—Thorne knew." cried Miriam. "And he never told us," came finally from Challoner's lips. "I possibly he didn't dare," explained Murgatroyd with an enigmatical smile. Just at that time Thorne and Thorne's crowd held the mobile in the hollow of their hands so perhaps, he added sarcastically, "the news about Pomulcan was suppressed for the public good." "And you" - spoke up Shirley, her eyes flashing, but got no further, for Murgatroyd went on addressing Challoner. "I had no trouble then, of course, in setting you free." Challoner blinked stupidly at the prosecutor, but Miriam's face at once was wreathed in smiles, for she knew that their future happiness was assured—that the name of Challoner would be cleared of its stain. But Shirley was not yet satisfied, and her eyes were blasting as she exclaimed holly. "It was not you who set him free! The law set him free! He was innocent, and—" She paused and drew a deep breath before going on. "You took a million dollars to set him free! Murgatroyd rises suddenly. "This is the second time this charge has been made against me, once at the trial and again here. You understand the nature of this charge!" he shirley looked, looking her full in the eyes. "What proofs have you?" Shirley pointed to Miriam. "Mrs. Challoner is my proof." Murgatroyd turned his gaze now on Miriam. "Whose expression of joy had not changed, and asked: But before Mrs. Challenger could answer Sturley broke in with: "Prosecutor Monkroyd, a moment pleaser." And on the prosecutor's stirring his gaze on her, she continued: "You know I was speaking the truth. Mrs. Challenger this, tried to convince me that this bribery was not a crime, so as much as you had kept faith with her, but she knew well as you do what my opinion is on the subject. I told you in the courtroom what I thought and said myself, another expression. I have not changed. No, you are not honest," she concluded mercilessly. "You've stolied you've a— There came a loud knock upon the door. "Come in!" called Algristroyd. "Borry to interrupt you, Mr. Prosecutor," said Mixor on entering, "but Mr. Thorne is outside." "Counselor Thorne says that he must see you. He won't wait." Murgatroyd ordered Thorne kept out. On Mixley's retreating Shirley once more stepped forward, and her tips were parted to speak when suddenly the door was thrust open violently, and Thorne stained in. Behind him came Mixley, trying to hold him back, but the other jerked himself free, and on reasbling the prosecutor's desk he held out his hand and called out loudly. "Senator Murgatroyd!" "W what?" exclaimed Murgatroyd, rising. "I want to shake hands with you. Then I'm the first to announce it good." Thorne proceeded to tell Murgatroyd that the latter had just been chosen on joint ballot, majority in both houses, for the senatorship, ending with: "Allow me—allow me to congratulate you." His voice rang true, even though he did not mean it, and Murgatroyd shook-his hand, asking. "I thought it would be you. Thorne. You put up a good fight." "We did you mean," protested Thorne. "My crowd did, as usual. But you. Murgatroyd, deserve your honors. It was one man against the field, one man against illimitable backing. Senator." he declared, bowing. "I take off my but to you. You have done what has never been done before, and can be done it without a dollar." You're the first man in the state" he went on frankly. "to be chosen by the people. Illiterally by the people, and without a dollar behind you." Murgatroyd shook his head. "No. And we were learned something by all this." Thorne went on. We began to find out that the people wore his honesty above all things. Oh, you love honesty he continued hastily. I understand that. But you—your honesty is the real thing—and the people know it too." Turing to her friends. Shirley muttered satirically Honest" Now McGrath as usual, had followed ed close on the footsteps of Mixley, and standing in the door, he rolled Three cheers for Senator Murga troop! And Mixley and Thorne born and bred to political meetings, gave them with a white Shirley and the Challengers sat in the corner in deep silence Murgatroyd looked at his men in surprise Where have you been all this time? be queried The man piled out in confusion. A moment later Thorne took up his hat and, holding out his hand, repeated 'Accept my congratulations once more senator.' He turned to go, and then for the urt start time he saw the three people budded together in the corner of the room "Well" he said, deeply exclaimed "I thought we were alone I didn't know" Chaifon stepped out in front of him and blurted out --- "Mr Thorne, I wish to know if it is trus" "Thorne still not seeing who it was, nodded You don't understand," returned Challoner. Is it true—true"—"True?" repeated Thorne. "True that you have known all these years that I was innocent of murder?" And Challoner squared his shoulders and lifted his head while he waited for his reply. "You, of course it's true," answered Thorne, seeing at last whom he faced. "You never told me," derely returned Challoner Thorne apparently was dumfounded. "Never told you? Why, I must have told you," be stummered feebly. "You never"—Challoner's voice suddenly broke. "And I thought all these years, and because I thought"—He paused abruptly. Then Thorne, turning to Murgatroyd, boldly equivocated. "It's preposterous Of course I told him." Murgatroyd smiled grimly and added gently to himself: "You must be mistaken, Mr. Challenger. I certainly told you." And, picking up his unt, once more turned his attention to the prosecutor. "Well, senator, good day." At the door he called back: "You've made a clean and honest fight. You deserve success! Good day!" But no sooner had the words passed his lips than Shirley, almost beside herself, again broke forth: "A cleap, honest fight! Ohf" Murgatroyd resumed his seat, smiling. "Yes," he said, as if wholly unconscious of the girl's irony. "It is hard work to be chosen sebator without half a million or so behind you." Up to this time Shirley had held her indignation within bounds, but at this remark she lost all control over herself. "Why, you—you're a thief!" she cried. "No, no, Shirley," exclaimed Mr Islam. "I won't have you say that. You must leave the room. You and Lance—I insist." Fleece anger burned in Shirley's impulsive heart as she glanced at Murgatroyd. A few minutes later began SATURDAY.....FEB. 26, 1010. she could bring herself to agree to Miriam's demand "Very well," assented Shirley. "but don't keep us waiting long." And reluctantly she left the room with Chailoher. [TO BE CONTINUED.] Afro-American Writer For Influential Southern Paper Well Qualified. Professor I. W.

Colonel John Sneed's Conversations on Domestic Problems Copyright, 1909, by C. S. Yost. VII.—Some Points on Raising Girls COLONEL SNEEDS son had come back to the old home for a visit and had brought with him his wife and little daughter, a busy, prattling youngster of three years, who pulled her grandfather's whiskers and stuck her chubby fingers into his eyes with impunity. "Daughter," said the colonel one evening after the child had been put to bed and he had rearranged his toilet, "what do you contemplate don't with that streak of sunshine?" "Why, I'm going to take the best possible care of her," answered young Mrs. Seed, "and try to make a good woman of her." "You're not figurin' on makin' an actress or an artist or a stenographer out of her, are you?" "No," laughed the daughter-in-law, "I haven't got that far along yet. But why do you ask?" "Well, I didn't know. It seems like every woman's got to have a mission these days—one that's different from THE FINEST THING ON EARTH. the original—and I thought maybe you'd laid out a brilliant career, with plenty of handcaps and bouquets in it. I'm mighty glad to know that make'n a good woman of her all you've got in mind. Understand, I'm not sayin' she couldn't have what they call a career and be a good woman at the same time, but I've got a kind of an old fashioned巾物 that the finest thing on earth is a good wife and a good mother. That's a career that's higher than any man can aspire to, and the good woman who don't get up to that level has missed something in life. "Anyhow, the makin' of a good woman an is a big enough job for any mother to tackle. I've always had a belief that there was more care necessary in railin' girls than in railin' boys. It's a good deal the same difference as there is between a post oak gaplin' and a roseh灌木. One can pretty nearly take care of itself, but it takes a lot of watchin' and a 6-out of trainin' to bring out all the bloomin' beauty of the other. When the Lord makes a woman he plants within her the seeds of some qualities that when they grow up and blossom form the main difference between her character and that of a man. We can't exactly define them, but we know that they're there, and we also know that women are more attractive, more lovely and more lovable in proportion to the development of those qualities within them. Sometimes the seed don't seem to have sprouted at all, and then the woman is pretty much the same as a man. Then, again, they spring up and grow like a moon vine, and every man, no matter how low down mean he is, stops to one side and takes off his hat. "Put all these qualities together, add them up and you've got what we call womanliness. That's a mighty big word, and it takes in nearly all the virtues that we can understand as well as some we can recognize, but can't quite place.

We know what it means even if we don't know why we know it, and we're mighty sure it's worth all the time and trouble it takes to produce it, for it does take time and trouble. It's very seldom that womanliness grows wild. It's got to be developed by cultivation — what the high browed farmers at the state university call intensive cultivation—and the mother who makes good on the job has to know what's what. "Now, my dear, I just a man, and I've got no fight to set myself up as a counselor for mothers, but sometimes it's worth while to know how a man looks at these things, even if he does make a kind of a fool of himself by mixin in. I've got a notion, in the first place, that you can't begin trainin' a girl too soon. There isn't anything new about that idea, but it seems to me that what used to be the rule is gettin' to be the exception, and babies are left to grow up pretty much as they please, on the theory, I reckon, that it's no use to do anything until they get old enough to understand. Well, I've found out, and I guess you have, too, that babies begin to understand the minute they open their eyes, and the time to begin on the job of making a woman is the day she's born. "Ah! the first thing she ought to learn, my dear, is that her mother is The greatest and best woman on earth and that what she says to do must be done because it's right. Now, you can't make her believe that just by tellin' her so. Every baby, particularly every girl baby, has to be shown. You may fool her for a while, but soon or later she's gone to get your true measure, and if it isn't up to the standard there'll be a loss of confidence which is the first step toward failure in domestic affairs as well as in business. So it's up to you to make good, to be yourself what you want your daughter to be. That I admit is a pretty large order, for it's a whole lot easier to tell it or what to do than to do it ourselves, and the hardest place to live up to a standard is the place where it's the most needed—at home. But all the same it's worth doin' P "Another thing that she ought to find out pretty early is that her mother is not her slave. That's an imPRESSION it's mighty easy to fix and mighty hard to get rid of; also it's one that apolls more fine material for the makin' of good women than anything else I know of it's natural for the mother to want to do everything she can for her child, and the child isn't to be blamed for jotin' her do it, but she mighty soon gets in the habit of dependin' on mother, and that means the development of selfishness and the loss of self reliance, either one of which cuts out all hope of makin' a womanly woman of her Nothin' makes my blood boll harder than to see a girl sit in the parlor and hang the piano while her mother bends over the dishpan. And yet nine times out of ton it's the mother's fault. A girl, no matter what her station in life, should learn right at the start that she has somehow to do in the world besides giggle and look pretty. She ought to be taught what to do and how to do and then, if necessary, made to do. But if you begin right and begin early you'll never have to force her, and when you get respect for mother as well as love firmly established in a girl's mind and BANGING THE PLANO. heart you've gone a long way in the make' of a good woman, a womanly woman. The rest is easy "I reckon that's all tonight, my dear." She Found Out. "I thought I'd stop for a minute and inquire the price of tomatoes," she said to the grocer as she set down her basket. "Yes-m—they are 8 cents apiece." "Whist—but isn't that high?" "And how much for a washboard today?" "Thirteen cents—reduced from 15." "What makes that?" "The tariff, ma'am." "Oh, I am. And how much for taters, if you please?" "They are up 80 cents a bushel." "Whist again, but what makes that?" "What they call ad valorem." "Of course. And what's the price of fattions, if not too much trouble?" "They are down, cheaper than ever" "And it's because"— "That's free trade." "Um; I see. Well, Patrick will be thankful to them great men in Washington when I tell him what you say." "You understand it, do you?" "As plain as day, sir. The price of natrons and washboards has come down to give the poor a chance to live, and the price of tomatoes and turtles has gone up to give the rich a squeeze, as should be the case. Thankee, sir, and good day to ye."-Pittsburg Press. A Prairie Land. The country from Jerusalem to the Jordan valley is as dreary and desolate as could be imagined.

Cairo. Illinois has been the storm centre of lawlessness for many months On November 11, 1809 Henry Salzner, white charged with killing his wife with an ax and Will James colored charged with killing Amie Petley white were lynched by a mob of white men When Hon E D Green colord was in the legislature of Illinois he succeeded in having passed a bill providing that any sheriff who permitted a prisoner to be lynched should lose his office As a result Sheriff Frank E. Davis Republican was removed from office He made an appeal to Gov. Deneen and Mrs. Ida Wells Barrett figured in the affair Strong pressure was brought to bear by political friends upon the ground that if Sheriff Davis was removed a Democrat would receive the office Gov. Deneen refused to interfere and as a result Sheriff Frank E. Davis continued to be an cacheriff. But there is a sequel to all of this Two colored men were charged with snatching a purse from a white woman but it was afterwards ascertained that John Pratt was the guilty party. It was evident that the change from Sheriff Frank E. Davis Republican to Sheriff Fred D. Nellis Democrat was for the better and that he meant business The report sent out is as follows Cairo 11) February 17 (mild night) A patched battle is now in progress between twenty deputy sheriff's arresting the jail and a mob of two persons who are trying to break into the jail to get a negro charged with purse snatching. Two members of the mob have been shot and the mob is now firing on the jail. The local militia company has been ordered out. Sheriff Siff is sent out word to the jail that he would fight to a finish at two o'clock in the first rush. It is not known how a victory they would win. John Bratt the negro the mob after he was arrested today and then tried by two women as the man who shot their purses. He confessed and was indicted an hour later. Saffield 11) February Government. Domenon conjecture that the company of the State militia be ready to assist Sheriff Siff in order to take So off No.16, in asking Gov't on Dene's first process salt Out two years of End Open and 6 times. It's to be a lot As I said I'm to the lay mind that, not at all the same era and before the report as she was still now, at least until the Re, it's a good habit. Which the on't come in Cairo in No year? I've started to fit the way I'd been to the new to know to be AFTER the party knew what to kill they believed it was now AFTER an officer fell in the arms AFTER a sheriff's wife was up AFTER the law was murder and the AFTER the prisoner was a sex AFTER he beheaded AFTER he made AFTER he take the life AFTER he abused him AFTER he abused this fort of law AFTER all wills In the case of finding a murder for something a person is absurd. We wish this class of accused fools were given the chance that they are here with us and that their thing to do is put them in the jail where they belong. They are not murder to their freedom and they should not have it. Sheriff Noah is a hot and he is now being raised from the section of this country to the other. The funeral of that lawyer in Cairo will certainly be an object lesson to the lawless and do much to make a repetition of that lawless scene an impossibility.

WAS HARD FOUGHT BATTLE Although Nelson Was Not Knocked Out He Presented a Pathetic Appearance, His Face Being a Mass of Cuts and Bruises and His Body Covered With Blood San Francisco 2012 Battling Nelson was not hurt by Ad Woolgast of Milwaukee in one of the most grueling contests seen here in years Woolgast is now the lightweight champion of the world and the Dane nurses an w-champion who clearly and decisively illustrated that the old village of the pitcher going to the well he often still holds good even in injury Nelson was not knocked out but he was so near it that the interaction on the part of the referee in the fortieth round was as wise as it was humane The encounter was originally scheduled for forty five rounds It is clearly could not have lasted much longer especially the condition that Nelson was in The onetime perfect Batter pre- presented a pathic light. His face was one mass of cute bruises and scars. His right eye was completely closed and the blood streamed down his books and covered his body. He was the typical spectacle of the fallen champion. Bat's Blows Lacked Steam Nelson fought with the same game and spirit that has characterized all of his fights. He was the same old fighter when it came to rushing and assimilating punishment. He was too the same old Nelson who was willing to take five blows in order to get home one punch. However the old sting was lacking, for only once during the encounter was Nelson able to put the Dutchman down. From the thirtieth round on all the end Nelson a star seemed to have as he began to decline from the thirty-first. His leads were weak and he could not see to land. It was the beginning of the end and when the sports realized that a new champion was in sight the odds quickly shifted to even money. The contest was witnessed by a large crowd. It was promoted by Bld Hester a local fight manager and was a big success. It was held in a specially built arena across the bay from here at a place called Point Richmond, a fast growing little city and harbor plenty of game sports too. When the men faced each other it was figured that at least 11,000 persons were present. The receipts will easily figure close to $50,000.

Their introduction as a punitive force into the street car strike brought about the most desperate riot so far, and the Fencibles were saved from a savage hammering only by the courage of a German ex-cavalry officer who commanded a squad of ten mounted policeman. All Philadelphia is laughing over the rout of the "invincibles" as they proudly termed themselves, but the bloody fight at Germantown and Lehigh avenues that resulted from the employment of the Fencibles was no joke. A dozen men were shot, at least 100 were clubbed, women were knocked down and trampled upon, children were injured and for two hours there was a fierce battle between the police and 10,000 strike sympathizers that raged for five blocks along Germantown avenue. The announced intention of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company to run cars along Germantown avenue and the news that the Fencibles were coming to safeguard the cars attracted a crowd of 10,000 people who stared at the madness along Germantown avenue and massed heavily in Lehigh a fine wide street. Up cane the Fencibles with shouldered muskets their officers rattling out orders faster than very young volunteers could comprehend easily. All along the avenue for blocks you heard "Oh Manic ain't he pretty" Do you "srose he knows which end of that gun to shoot with" Harmlock joins soon become insurgents results. The soldiers looked as if they wished they were anywhere but the place they were stalled. Presence as if the whole movement had been carefully organized squads of young men and boys stole up behind each far separated soldier and stole cartridges from his belt snatch od at his hat or tried to jerk his musk let out of his hands. Here and there a militiaman lost his temper and struck out with his dist or the butt of his gun in no time at all there was a scuffling all along the line. Women Attack Fencibles. Suddenly near Huntington street, a woman screamed and attacked one of the soldiers with her fata scratched at his face. Real trouble broke like a thunder clap. Boys and men sprang on the soldiers fifteen or twenty to a soldier bore them down took their minnows away from them to their costs off their backs struck them in the face with clenched fists and rolled them in the dirt. The crowd now converted into a mob wielded itself between the militiamen and the Fendibles were utterly helpless to defend themselves. If the order had come to them to shoot, they couldn't have played. Many of them had lost their guns and there was hardly a man in ten who had a single cartridge left in his belt. The intersection of Germantown and Leitch avenues was a surging mass of men and women in which you could see every now and then a havoc polished at all kinds of queer angles. Service hats were whirling in the air as the crowded snatched them from the heads of the youthful soldiers. Women emerged from the rim of the crowd holding up brass buttons that had been cut from uniforms. Then came the rapid clanking of horses foot. Acting Sergent Fuchsier riting at the head of ten mounted men his mob at full gallop. Fuchsier spread his a squad in a fan-shaped formation and drove square into the heart of the press. There was no long or the suggestion of humor. Thjokie had turned into bloody reality. Every time a mounted policeman swung his club somebody man or woman went down with a broken head or a paralyzed arm. As he swung past a church near Lehigh avenue Buncher's club attack a woman on the side of the head. She dropped with a scream of pain that was heard above the rear of fighting. A young man sprang on the steps of the church and fired a revolver at Buncher's head. The bullet missed and the young man fired again and again, until his plait was empty. A foot policeman leaped up the steps and beat the youth down with heavy blows from his club. The Fencibles meanwhile were with drawing themselves by main strength from the fight. They were worse than uncleas. By ones and two they wrenched themselves out of the battering squirming mass and assembled finally near the barn from which they had marched so faintly. The sight continued long after they left All through the crowd men had drawn pistols. And the next instant a revolver would let go with a bang and a bullet would go whizzing toward the sergeant or one of his squad. A boy named Francis Kolb was shot in the side. In the thick of the fight a Germantown car rumbled up. The mob still fighting with Bushlers mounted men and a squad of fifty foot cops turned its attention to the car. Windows were smashed and bricks went calling in, one of them laying out a policeman who was guarding the car. A road superintendent of the Rapid Transit company, Low Smith, saw the policeman go down and fired at the man he thought threw the brick. The Bullet struck, a boy named Walter Bleed in the left side just below the heart. Kolb may recover, but Bleed will die. Somebody in the crowd shot John Hughes in the abdomen. Two policemen were carried out of the car, helpless from bullet wounds. One saw on every hand men with blood running, down their faces, with damaged noses and arms clipped from the smashing blows of clubs. A prison men were lying senseless on the street. Old Man Killed In Riot Market street was uproarious with trouble, much of it breaking out right in the heart of the city, with thousands of holiday strollers looking on. Three cars of the Lancaster avenue line were held up directly in front of the Reading Terminal. Three policemen rushed to the rescue of the motormen and conductors. The crowd hurled bricks and paving stones at them, knocked one policeman to his feet and cut open the cheek of another in the van of the mob was an old man. He was nipped between a trolley car and a bik delivery wagon while both were in motion. His side was crushed and he was dead when they lifted him to the sidewalk. It was certain early in the day that the usual force of policemen that had been stationed along Market street would not be equal to the emergency Reserves were called on. Every fifteen minutes a light stared and usually the policemen were driven back. They had orders not to shoot unless they were knocked down or in real danger. Often the only way the street was cleared and a way made for the cars was by driving a police automobile full tilt into the crowd. You heard the hammering of the gong up towards Broad street, and the next minute you would see a heavy truck auto loaded with policemen, coming at a twenty mile an hour clip. The plan never fell to work. The rolters got out of the way in a hurry. Occasionally the policemen reached out with a quick spat and gathered into the machine men they had spotted as leaders of the fighting. There were two nastyights at Third and Market and at Ninth and Market At Ninth street the Columbla avenue cars make a turn north ward and here the stone throwers were posted strongly. Two strikers dragging a hurdy-gurdy were the center of this outbreak until the police squashed the band organ with their clubs and arrested the volunteer must clans. A car turned the corner and there was a rush to wreck it. The police charged ten strong and clubbed right and left. The result of this and other riots was that service slackened on Market street until by evening there was a scarce car to be seen. Five cars were wrecked and ten per- sones were hurt in a series of fights between the rioters and the police and the police officer that took place near Sixth Street and Market street. Every car that came along was hom- barded until the windows were broken and the passengers driven out. Seve- ral loyal employees of the Rapid Tran- sit company were caught and beaten before the police rescued them. May Ask For Troops So widespread was the disturbance that Mayor Reynold and Sheriff Gillilan prepared but withheld an appeal to Governor Stuart to send 10,000 men, the entire strength of the National Guard, to this city to preserve order. There is the best of information that the Rapid Transit company is bringing strong pressure on Mayor Reynold to issue the call for the troop, that the mayor is heathating for fear that it might be a political boering in the primetime next May. Pratt was released from prison in bonds of $300. He was arraigned on charges of riding meeting to riot and compaign. Attorneys McLean for the strike leader argued that the riot against him was so dim that it was laughable. The charges were based on Pratt's appearance in a mob which attacked a street car after the labor meeting in labor hall hall. Pratt nullified practically the general strike order that John I. Murphy, president of the Central Labor union, issued. Murphy was red hot when Pratt was arrested and sent out immediately a circular letter to the trades union organizations amitlily with the Central Labor body asking them to vote on the question of striking in armpathy with the carmen. As a matter of fact he got favorable replies from sixty five unions, but Pratt said no when it was put up to him. The company reported that 285 core wrecked during the day and 300 windows amashed. 1. 8shot by Encaged Robber Pawtucket R I Fob Feb 23 Enrage because his lost from the till amo ged to only $50 a rubber shot and to tally wounded William S.

It was known as a garden flower in England fully three centuries ago, and the probability is that it was developed from a certain species of violet with tricolored petals, which is still to be found growing wild along British waysides and in other parts of northern Europe. The old botanist Gerade, describing the "panicle, or heart's case," as he knew it, says quantitly that it has "dowers in form and figures like the violet and for the most part of the same bigness of three sundry colors" that is to any purple, yellow and white or blue-by reason of the beadle and braille of which colors they are pleasing to the eye. For small they have little or none at all. The root is nothing else but as it were, a bundle of throddly strings." London Graphic Styled Morgan's Agent For Aiding American Bankers. Secretary of State Believes the United States' Action Paved the Way For Reforms in Flowery Kingdom. Secretary of State Knox resents the criticisms of his conduct of the state department and may issue a statement giving notice that if the people don't like his kind of diplomacy he is ready to lapse into a do-nothing rut, or give way to some one else. Mr. Knox believes in mixing commercialism and diplomacy, and it irritates him when he is accused of running the department for the benefit of J. Plepont Morgan and other big financiers. Some of the inside history of the Hankow railroad loan was given out and throws new light on the part taken in that transaction by the United States. It seems that big world politics are involved. This government stepped in just in time to prevent an act that would have retarded for many years the plans for the national progress of China. The $30,000,000 Hankow railroad loan had been practically awarded to the German, French and English syndicate. At the eleventh hour the United States interfered and demanded a share of the loan. The European diplomats laughed at our representations. The real reason the United States took a hand in the proceeding was the knowledge that the foreign syndicate was to be secured in its loan by a lien upon the likin taxes of the various provinces. This tax is regarded as one of the most archaic institutions of China and a great deterrent to its development. The United States plans to abolish this tax and at the same time put the Chinese currency on a modern basis and reform the customs service. These reforms would have been impossible, or at least delayed for many years if the Hankow loan had been put through in its original shape as the lien on the likin taxes would have perpetuated the ancient customs. The United States insisted on our right to share in the loan because of our treaty obligations with China and our preacher in that part of the world our part in establishing the open door policy and other valid reasons. After a long and bitter controversy the United States won out. Secretary Knox regards this as his finest bit of statesmanship. It saved China a further backhack, and enhanced the influence of the United States in the East. At the same time stipulation was made that part of the supplies for the railroad should be purchased in America. Secretary Knox turned over to J Pierpont Morgan the duty of handling the share of the loan awarded to America. He merely stipulated that the firms taken into the syndicate should be of such a character as to carry absolute confidence to the forgeers. In view of the larger politics involved in these transactions Secretary Knox grows very weary when he hears the charge that he is running the state department by the interest of Morgan and other banks. He believes his policy is the best interests of the United States government. He is becoming tired of the continuing criticism based as he believes on a wrong understanding of the situation and is seriously considering issuing a statement which will show that if the people don't want this sort of thing he will be content to Unify his activities simply to protect the lives and properties of Americans in foreign lands. 1. Mine Victims' Bodies Mummified. Eleven bodies of morges were recovered from the St Paul coal mine at Cherry Ill. To the amazement of veteran mine inspectors the bodies entombed since last November when brought to the surface were found to be almost perfectly manified. The men in the condition was brought along to the bodies having during three months been on a part of the mine which was dry and warm and going through a slow process of drying up. The response found the eleven bodies in what is known as the second level. They were about 175 feet from the main air shaft. The men instead of rebreating to remoter parts of the mine evidently had made a desperate effort to escape when the disaster occurred and they were among the first to die. They were found with their arm stretched forward and face down having been suffocated as they ran probably by a gust of boat and gas Castellanea Ask $13,600 The Marquise and Marquise de Cas- tellane have instituted suit in Paris against the Princess do Sagan, their former daughter-in-law, for $18, $600 back annuities.

O. Chapman) (Editor's note: Francis Roso, the author, comes of a family of pioneers and dighters, and is related to the founder of the Arizona Hispaniar years were spent in the turmoil of frontier life in Arizona, where he was for some time deputy sheriff and later deputy state marshal. His service in the Mexican Chinese Extrusion Act on the Mexican border have been highly commended by the Washington authorities, and recognised for his service of $400 on his head, which stands to day. Of late years he has held a dayly responsible position with one of the largest bank protective associations in the United States. His service as a civil servant has established an enviable record of success in running down bank burglaries. These stories are confined to his life and to the successes of which are laid in Arizona and New Mexico near the Mexican border. The Last Frontier, which until recent years was located elsewhere, and where the typical "bad man" of pioneer days made his last stand.) HEN the justly celebrated French student of detective lore gave to the world the now familiar phrase of "Find the Woman," thereby inferring that there is a daughter of Eve at the bottom of every big crime. He voiced a sentiment which white plausible enough may be set down as rather superfluous.

Admitting that there is usually a "woman in the case" somewhere, one soldier finds a member of the fair sex taking an active physical part in the commission of a carefully planned crime on a large scale. Street holdups with female participants are not unknown in police records, but as a general thing the woman merely plays the part of a doxy to draw the victim within reach of her strongarm companions. During my experience as United States marshal in Arizona and later as an investigator of bank robberies I knew of but one case where a woman figured as an actual "live worker" to the extent of enforcing a demand for cash at the muzzle of a six-shooter. She was Pearl Hart, then a girl in her teens but possessed of a dare devil courage and recklessness worthy of a member of the Jesse James gang. Yet there was nothing masculine in the appearance of this extraordinary girl nothing to indicate the Amazonian spirit that lurked within her slender frame. She was of slight build, weighing in the neighborhood of 100 pounds and clad in the male attire she usually affected looked like a not particularly robust and rather attractive boy. It was in the fall at Tucson, Arizona, that I first made Pearl's acquaintance and obtained from her a confession which laid bare the details of her roving and singularly romantic life. This was immediately after she had sprung into notoriety by accomplishing a feat never before performed by one of her sex—the holding up of a stage coach and robbing the passengers at the point of a gun. It was the culminating exploit of her career which had been a stormy and eventful one from early childhood Pearl Hart is a native of Canada, where her parents honest, respectable people in humble circumstances, reside to today. At the age of 17 she made her first pilgrimage into the out side side, running away from her home in Lindsay, Ont, and taking with her a younger sister. The two, dressed as boys, made their way by boat to Buffalo, N Y where they worked for a while in a factory where children were employed. After the sisters had been in Buffalo for about two months their parents got track of and finally recovered them. But the love of roving had become too deeply implanted in Pearl Hart's business boom to allow of her leading a quiet and unfortunate existence at home. Two years later she again wandered away, her sister are accompanying her as before and the pair went to Chicago. Both were dressed in boys' clothes and apparently had no trouble in concealing their sex. They obtained a couple of shoe shining outfits and went to work as bootblacks, leading the usual gypsy life of those picturesque little arabs who were at that time one of the distinctive features of Chicago streets. They worked first in the south end of the business districts and later, as they became acquainted with the other bootblacks, roved all over the downtown district, seeking refuge when night fell in the box cars out along State street, in Webbah avenue literary-books, in lofts W or wherever they could sneak in und noticed. One evening Pearl saw a wagon load of watermelons standing near the corner of State and Harrison streets. Several of the melons had been taken from the wagon and were piled upon the sidewalk. When no one was looking she stole one of the melons and ran down Harrison street with the heavy load. Before she had gone a block a policeman caught her and both she and her sister were taken to the Harrison Street police station. After the two girls were arrested and sentenced to a boy's school their sex was discovered and they were sent to the reform school for girls. Old beyond their years by virtue of the varied experiences they had passed through, it was not to be supposed that they would tamely submit to the vigorous discipline of the school for any great length of time without endearing to make a break for liberty. Yet to the surprise of the officials who knew their history they remained for three months apparently contented and tractable without evincing any desire to escape from confinement. But one fine morning the surprised and disgusted matron awoke to find that the birds had down. The two girls had made a rope of the sheets and a nightgown and lowered them ourselves from a window. Pearl's sister climbed down first and without accident Pearl followed, but being the heavier of the two she got a fall that almost knocked her seneseless. Instead of tying the nightgown at the lower end of the rope she had fastened one sleeve to the bed. Her weight ripped off the sleeve and she fell ton feet to the ground. This acclident did not prevent her, however, from discarding her dress until she could climb the high, wire-bound fence and help her sister over When the girl escaped they had been away from Chicago as soon as they could secure two aults of boy's clothes. They made their way over the Northern Pacific railroad to Helena, Mont. and later to Victoria, B.C. They remained in Victoria for three months and then started back to Chicago, boating their way in the most approved tramp fashion by easy stages, the round trip being the most remarkable ever accomplished by two girls of their age. Upon reaching the cage, the younger one, who did not possess such an iron constitution as her sister, became ill as a result of the hardships she had gone through and soon grew very homesick. When she had in some measure regained her strength Pearl took her back to their Canadian home. By this time the elder of the two girls had become a confirmed tramp in everything but appearance. The long journey twice across the country had but served to increase her strength and excite her longing for fresh air ventures. Her parents knew she would not long remain at home unless she was placed under constraint. They sent her to a boarding school near Montreal where special arrangements were made to have her carefully watched. She was closely guarded too but she found a way to guide her guardians. She met a man who lived in the town where the school was located a Harry Bordelman and before she had been at the school four months she eloped with him At that time Pearl Hart was 16 years old She and Bordman came directly to Chicago where, however, she remained but a short time Following a quarrel with him one day she disappeared. She went to Trinidad, Col. but later came back to Chicago and became reconciled to Bordman They remained in the Windy City During the year of the World's Fair after which another quarrel with her husband caused her to again pay a visit west. She returned to Trinidad and later went to Phoenix, Aris She had not been in Phoenix a week when she met Bordman at a boarding house, a reconciliation followed and the two lived together until the beginning of the Spanish war. when Bordman enlisted in McCord's regiment and left the territory When Bordeman left his wife she again donated male attire and went to hammoth, Arla, where she hired out as cook in a mining camp on the banks of the Gila river. It was at this time that she attained that degree of skill with firearms which afterwards gained for her the name of one of the most deadly shots with rifle and revolver in a state that abounds with men remarkable for their skill in handling such weapons. All of Pearl's spare time was spent in practicing her favorite pastime. No target was too small or distant to escape the bullet that flow from the nervous pressure of her small, strong hand, and the more dangerous and savage the game she pursued the greater pleasure she found in the close. Circumstances seemed to have combined to mould the slender young girl into an amazon of undaunted type, foiling another God nor man and paving the way for the execution of the audacious project which she afterwards executed, and which was destined to make her name notorious through the entire country. Her stay at Mammoth terminated when the largest mine there shunt down, leaving her without employment. She had saved a little money, about $10, and with this she determined to pay her way to Globe, Aris. S. W. D. THEY OBEYED HER WITHOUT A MURMUR. he found two Mormon boys who were with a wagon to Globe and paid with $8 to allow her to accompany Jon. With the Mormon boys left Mormon had, beside Pearl Hart, an planner, a former Chicago pilot, who had for some time been prospecting for gold in Arizona Pearl in both dress and manner looked every inch a young cowboy, and the cobbler, who said his name was Joe, managed to strike up an acquaintance with her without much difficulty. It is 60 miles on the trail from Mammoth to Globe and the trip was made very slowly. In the evening of the last day of the journey the party camped three miles from the latter place and while they were there the Globe stage coach containing several passengers passed the camp. Pearl, whose observant eyes were always wide awake to what was going on around her, had taken a close view of the locality in which they were encamped and noted every rock and declivity with accurate judgment of one who has grown wise in the ways of the wilderness. The girl possessed a wonderfully tenacious memory. One glance always sufficed to photograph the outlines of a face or the peculiarities of a place on her mind tudelity, and although she told me afterwards THEY OB trail at that time the idea of a hotel did not occur to her, it is certain that the memory of that passing stage and the possibilities of the lonely trail served inter to draw her into the execution of the crime which landed her in the penthouse. On the following morning the party reached the running camp and Pearl went to work as a cook and office boy in a sort of hotel. Before she had been there a work Joe her companion on the trip, went to her and declared he had a good mining claim not far distant. She was out of money and said she wished to return to Canada having become tired of roughing it in the West. The Chicago prospector's glowing picture of the claim led her to believe that they could dig up enough gold in a short time to pay her way back to Canada, and she went with him. Several days' work failed to develop any trace of gold in the dirt on the claim and she grew disgusted with both her condition and her new friend. She then thought of the Globe stage and proposed a stick up to her companion. The business was entirely new to him and he strongly objected but the young woman insisted and he finally gave in. Perhaps he would not have consented had not Pearl overawed him by a timely exhibition of her skill in gunnary. She wore in her belt a brace of six shooters, and drawing them proceeded to fire at surrounding objects in the most nonchalant way. First naming the target at which she was about to shoot, she would pull the trigger and in every instance the bullet aped true to its mark. She used her right and left hand alternately and after she had exhausted the chambers of her two revolvers, proceeded to reload them, remarking placidly: "I guess that will show you I ain't likely to fall down on my part of the game, Joe." The prospector stared at her fascinated "You're the real thing all right," he said adamantly. "I'm with you, pal; we'll hit the trail whonover you say so." Having gained her point Pearl was not the sort of person to hostile further. She gave her companion's enthusiasm no time to cool, and mounting their bronchoes they rode away over the mountains until they struck the Globe trail. Here was where the girl's wonderful memory and acquired knowledge of the region came into play. Dismounting she led the way to a narrow little path that curled off the trail and wound around the side of a high rock. At the first sought the pally she stopped and pointed out to her commander the strategic value of the ambush thus selected. On account of the tortuous nature of the trail the stage must travel, the driver at this point could not see the roadway 20 feet ahead of his horses. Having tothered their horses the two took up their stations, one on each side of the road. For three hours the bandits waited, Joe in a fever of excitement and chafing impatiently over the slow approach of their prey. Pearl Hart, on the contrary, was as cool and unconcerned as in the days when she stole wintermelons and toted her blacking box along Chicago streets in search of custom. It was all in the days work—slightly larger contract than she had hitherto undertaken—that was all. At length the robbers' vigil drew to a close. The rattle of the coach and hoof strokes on the horses re-echoed from the walls of the canyon and the girl's eyes glistened like those of a crouching tiger about to spring upon a victim. As the lead team swung into view she leaped from her hiding place and stood covering the trail with leveled revolvers — one pointing straight at the driver's head, the other at the window of the stage. "Throw up your hands and be quick BEYED HER WITHOUT A MURM I about it" she shriffed. The ringing tones of the tense command, replete with deadly menaces carried conviction to the ears of the stage driver. He had lived too long in the west to despise an order of that kind when backed by the gaping muscles of a brace of six shooters, even though it was uttered by a fragile-looking stripling whom his slimny hands could have crushed in rough and tumble battle. With a desperate clutch at his lines he puffed the leaders almost upon his haunches and coming to a sudden halt sat swearing strange oaths to himself in an under tone Pearl laughed triumphantly as she saw herself mistress of the situation. Calling to her comrade to "keep the drop" upon the driver, she ordered the passengers to get out of the stage. They were three in upholr, two white men and a China an and they obeyed her without a numur. Her first care was to relieve them of their breeamings and that done she proceeded to search them all. From one white man she secured $290 from the other $36 and from the Chinaman $5. Turning her attention to the driver, that individual produced the sum of $8, which he handed to her with a useful grin. The girl smiled back at him and thrust the money again into his hand. "You may say that," she said laughing. "I'll give you you've earned it by driving to such cowards across the bills. Having counted her beauty, young adventures arrived to the three passengers and gave each one of them a dollar. "Being a good follow I kind of hate to see folks quite dead brokeb," she remarked pleasantly. "so I'll take you all. And now take a run back along the trail for the good of your health." There was no resisting the force of this suggestion, backed as it was by the glittering barrels of the speaker's weapons and the trio walked hastily down the road. Pearl watched until they had disappeared around a distant curve in the path, and then turned to her companion "Come on Jon!" she cried merrily, and the two plunging into the mouth of a canyon made their way by a circulous route back to the spot where they had left their horses. Mounting they rode swiftly away and then occurred one of those curious instances which shows how supernatural dread can shake the nerves of one whose hardihood for encouraging ordinary dangers knows no bounds. Entering the confines of a long box canyon an unearthly chorus of hoarse grunts and strident squeals suddenly assaulted the ears of the astonished Bendle. - Pearl reined in her horse and stared at her companion with a face from, which every trace of color had sled. "My God, Joe," she fainted, "ain't that terrible. What can it be? Maybe this place is haunted! The ex-prospector, hardly less startled than his confidante, listened with open mouth to the harsh, grat ing dirge that re-sounded from all sides of the canyon. Then suddenly his perplexed scowl faded and a broad grin took its place. "It's all right." he cried in tones of great relief "They're nothing but bullfrogs, gal, big croakin' bullfrogs." And Pearl Hart, as desperate a female bandit as the world has ever known, uttered an exclamation of surprise and gladness at this unlooked for explanation of the mysterious terror and rode on with fully recovered spirits. They pursued their flight until within six miles of Mammoth where the ex-prospector and his horse man aged to fall into a river and would probably have been drowned had it not been for the prompt assistance rendered them by Pearl's vigorous hands. They camped in the bushes for the night, intending to push on for the hills the following morning and seek a secure hiding place. That did UR. however the lack of protection com- pelled the man to ride into Marimuth for the purpose of purchasing to bac- cies and food. By this time the officer of the law had become aware of the court that had been committed and a posse of armed men who knew the hills thoroughly started in pursuit. The bandits, knowing that the spirit of vengeance must have been unleashed upon their track lost no time in making for the mountains through which they rode for several days, camping by day and doing most of their traveling by night. Finally believing that they had thrown their pursuers off the trail, they camped within 20 miles of Benson and there their fate found them. Both were sleeping heavily when a noise of shouting and the firing of guns aroused Pearl from her slumbers. Springing to her feet she behold a circle of dark, stern faces around her and the grim muzzles of several Winch cluster rifles covering her and her companion. A pose under the command of Sheriff Truman of Pinal county had tracked the bandits to their lair and the long chase was at an end. Pearl, always a good lover, submitted with a gambler's grace to the inevitable, and she and the expresor were taken to Benson and then to Florence, where she was separated from her companion, brought to Tucson and lodged in jail. It was there that I interviewed her in her cell, and after some trouble succeeded in obtaining from her a written confession covering the whole of her awful career. Her adventures had not, however, quite come to a finish at this point. Pearl Hart did not approve of her quarters in the Tucson jail and had no intention of remaining there any longer than was necessary. Fortune favored her by turning a friend in the person of a fellow prisoner who had but one day notice to the jail. This man was at first looked upon by the girl as a dead man, but circumstances compelled in his her opinion While in the fall the girl had made a pot of a group with cat kept the animal in her cell most of the time but not always it rose into the corridor and visited the other prisoners. One day it entered the cell of the short term prisoner. He picked up the cat and it bit him eagerly inflicting a deep gash in his hand. With a blow of rage and pain he dashed the animal upon the floor and killed it. For hours Pearl eat in her cell caring the new hat that same hat put later when she had a new pet To speak to the young woman, he told her he would get her out. He was a trusted prisoner and the next day he climbed to the top floor of the jail and cut a hole she inches wide and twelve inches long through a grated window. Through this window Pearl Hart made her unit and escaped. Her freedom was of short duration, however for 12 days later she was recaptured again disguised in man's clothing at beaming, N. M and taken back to Tucson. When brought to trial she was convicted and sentenced to the Yuma penitentiary for five years. If Pearl Hart knew as it is probable she did what the real name of her confidante in the stage holdup was, she kept the information loyally to herself. When the prisoners were arrested the ex-prospector refused to reval his identity, and Sheriff Trueman went to the young woman to attempt to learn the man's name. At the time Pearl was pulling on one of her high brace. What a that man a name** inquired sheriff Joe responded the girl Joe Pendleton the gun Joe who asked the sheriff Whif, Joe loads returned Pearl, with a mocking grin He was indicted in that name and under it it was sentenced to the pen- tionary for 30 years, but afterwards made a wonderful escape from dur- ance vite. While working with a gang of convicts he made a break for lib- erty. An alarm was sounded and the guards turned a gattling gun upon him. Nearly a thousand bullets went hurting past the feeding prisoner but not one reaped its mark and he escaped uhurt Pearl Hart served part of her time and was afterwards paroled. She is now in Kansas (U). Kan where she owns a cigar store and makes no attempt to conceal her identity. She has reached her thirty-seventh year and has two children who live with their grandmother in Touche (O). The call of the road no longer holds any fascination for her and she is a quiet, unobtrusive girl of free after having assaulted him. She is a girl and thrilling a series of adventures ever (tell to the lot of her father's sex The Flirt The first by which is generally meant for the first time in the book is the birth of the novel, a presentation of the novel, a presentation of the novel, a know better when he wrote that in the four hours of his immersion in and hard to please, is to a true pain and sorrow verifiable in a mastering angel." It is remarkable how often a girl who has had a sense of hearts a flutter, a dozen pale flushes dangling, set down by her children as more effervescent and volatile than perfume, makes one of the most domesticated of wives and mothers when her time comes to marry. The face once wreathed with light mocking laughter becomes beautifully over a cradle the favor that was once dispersed among any number of candidates for her girlish heart and hand becomes a woman's love to be bestowed, for always upon one of the whole white universe.

It is now draped with the invisible silk gauze and again the same moonlight effect is produced by silver tulle over crepe netting. On another elaboration in frosty coloring of coloring it may be called there are white satin ribbon rosebuds with silver centers on bodice and tulle. The sleeves are composed of cords of silver string with little ribbon roses and like cords depending from the girdle are heavily tasseled with the ropes. On the white non-scalene or卵形 of the debilitate, there appears at times an edge of swan's down or white fur in place of the dark for hand on the heavy moose of the older woman. Countess white and silver effects are to be found as the fronds cut down, protrusions into the oldfellow fabric, and surfaces of silver run along the bottom, which borders the top, and again a satin cress glittering with silver and then velled with white non-scalene to bring again the youthful simplicity to conceal an excess of riches. Although elaborate to a degree these gowns were short and they retained the crushed circle of the proverbial youthful model and a certain simplicity of design marked them as distinctly suited to the young. In almost every instance the short frock of this season has reverted to the fuller skirt, some what gathered across the back and round the hips but smooth across the front breadth.

The Dainty Baby Pillow White Swiss mull is successful material for the covering of the baby pillow when transparency is an object. Linen, although of a sheer quality, will often conceal the colored cover beneath. One of the best Swiss pillow covers is sewed up each side and left open at each end, where it is scalloped and provided with oysters two inches from the outrome edges for ribbons, which hold the back and front together and the rose-colored silk pillow inside. The ribbons used are narrow and white, and to each corner of the pillow is attached a rosette-like bow of wider ottoman ribbon Velvet In the Hair Women who can wear a flat band around the head and, the majority of them can are substituting this for the heavy coil of hair worn under the hat. The ribbon is for evening and makes the colfure quite brilliant. It carries out the color scheme of the gown. The pastel shades which are commonly considered suitable for the hair, are rarely used. Instead one sees plum purple royal blue, Burgundy red plum black jade green and caphire. Batin and velvet ribbon are used, also tulle. The oriental style of using this ribbon is to finish it above the ears with gemmed catchions. WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FACE FIGHTER COLORED. FOR ANY IMPORTANT OCCASION? YOUR SKIN GLEAR SMOOTH FINE 1.

The garment is the Russian blouse, which some years ago had such a tremendous volume and which is now seen in lengths which vary from the hip point to some ten or 12 inches above the skirt hem. But whatever long or short the blouse is invariably the top garment and forms part of a dashing street suit or smarter dress of some sort.

The bodice of the coat is simply fitted with underarm and shoulder soams and the tail is practically a very short and scant skirt. The skirt itself is in a box and side plaited model in the narrow walking length modeled for of course the Russian blouse never tops a trained or trimmed skirt. Any of the wide waist serges, with hercules braids in two widths, would do for this stylish suit if it is intended for practical wear, while for smarter use, velvet or cloth would be adorable, as well as a rich grade of corduroy. For skating velveteen would be appropriate, also a blanket fannel, such as sometimes used in Canada for to buggian freaks. With this the stripe of the material would take the place of the fur at the side fastening of the cloose and on the sleeve. A matching muff and tippet are almost a necessity with this redingote style or at least a muff for these trappings will be important details of dress up to spring.

There are few things more invigorating to tired nerves than a salt sponge, either before going to bed or first thing in the morning. If one is inclined to sleeplessness the latter time is beat as the salt is decidedly stimulating. Sea salt can be bought in boxes and should be kept in a bathroom closet or some place where it is quickly found. As a brine is not made rapidly, it is wiser if the bath is to be taken in the morning to soak a large double handful of the salt in two quarts of boiling water over night. Keep in a covered pitcher. When ready to use add two quartz of fresh water either tapid or cold, as preferred. If one likes to sponge in a tub use more salt, keeping about the same proportions. This brine can be used on the face as well as the body and it does small hurt if it gets in the eyes. The sting is temporary and the good effects are felt in rested eyes, as well as nerves.

ON VARIOUS TOPICS PERTAINING TO GENERAL MAT: TERS OF INTEREST An Indispensable for the Dressing Case—Hint as to Choice of Carpet —Use Velvetteen for Brushing Silk. A little borax in witch hazel is a good face wash after motorizing, and is also of value in so many ways that every woman should have borax and witch hazel on her dressing case, says an authority on such matters. A little blecarbonate of soda and orris root in the bath makes it much more pleasurable. When choosing a carpet, if you have to study economy, select one with a small pattern, and of rather a light color. The small pattern cuts to greater advantage, for there is loss wastes in matching the design as the breadths are sown together, and when the wool begins to wear the light color will not contrast so painfully against the string foundation as it would if it were many shades darker in tone. By rubbing a fresh lemon thoroughly into a sponge which has become silky and rinsing it several times in lukewarm water it will be as nice again as when it was new. Needlebooks are much better made with leaves of chamols leather or fine linon, instead of the old-fashioned flannel. Flannel is often prepared with sulphur, and this tends to rust the needles. Chamols leather, on the other hand, keeps them beautifully bright. Use a piece of velvetteen for brushing silk. Try it on a black silk potpourri, and see how perfectly it wipes away all traces of dust from frills and ruffles. Any brush, however soft, acts as an irritant to silk, but the velvetteen removes all dust without any injury to the silk of sunshades, etc. Many women find it a great comfort to saw a black or colored cross on the band of every dress skirt, in the exact middle of the front. In this way, you can instantly and unconceally be sure that your skirt is on perfectly straight. This same idea carried out with all the white, cloth or silk underskirts will prove a helpful convenience. Then sew a four-inch strip of tape lengthwise near the top and on the wrong side of all underskirts, it is such a comfort to hang them up in this way rather than by tying the strings or hooking the skirt together. Always keep half a teapotful of rice in easy salt shaker, it keeps the salt from either stinking or caking and tastes a ready flow at all times. A dozen double hooks for under shelves is a great convenience where OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. I closet is not made to accommodate a rod for coat hangers. Then, too, the double hooks will hold the skirt hangers while the rods will not. The japanned ones are 15 cents a dozen and the thread of a screw is a part of the hook so any one can put them up without any tools. These double under shelf hooks will double the capacity of any closet. The flexible knife that is such a favorite with so many housewives can be bought in all sizes at any hardware or department store but it is known there as a palette knife. String Beans a la Poulet Two cupfuls boiled string beans, one cupful milk yolks of two eggs two tablespoonful lemon juice one tablespoonful chopped parsley, one ta tablespoonful flour, one tablespoonful butter, half a teaspoonful salt half a teaspoonful pepper Mix the butter and flour smooth in a saucepan, pour in the milk salt over the fire until boiling and add the salt, pepper and beans Continue stirring until steaming hot, then turn in the beaten yolks and the remaining ingredients and serve at once In case the dish can not be used immediately omit the yolks of eggs and lemon juice until the moment of serving Stuffed Tomatoes.

Mix these ingredients thoroughly and all tomatoes almost to top, put a small piece of bacon over them last. Put them into a pan and bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven. These are excellent. Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Wash, scrub and peel half a pound of fresh mushrooms. Break in small pieces and saute in butter.

The butter must be thick enough to drop not run from the spoon. When thoroughly mixed lay a thick cloth over the how? in which it has been made and set in a warm place to rise. It will take from five to eight hours. If for breakfast let rise over night and for a noon after breakfast flake in muffins on a griddle. Fill each ring two thirds full when the bubbles form and stiffen into holes, slip the cake turner under and turn ring and all. As the muffin cooks and stiffens slip off the rings and let them finish. Baked in rings on a griddle muffins are very much better than when baked in an oven. If the oven must be used however work in sufficient flour when mixing to make a soft dough and let rise in a warm place out of droughts until very light. Turn the dough out on a well floured pastry board, divide into small pieces and form with the hands into flat round cakes. Cover the muffins on the board and let rise until almost globular, then place them on a hot floured tin and bake them in a quick oven to a light brown. Turn and let the other side brown lightly. Always tear them apart, never use a knife spread genously with soft butter and serve hot—Housekeeper REQUISITES FOR SOUP MAKING Having Stock Too Strong Is a Thing to Be Avoided—Best Method of Preparing Quick Dumping. The secret of making good soup is not in having strong stock. Many persons save the grease from boiled beef, chicken and turkey and keep it in a jar for quick soupmaking. The soup is strong never as good as when it is fresh, and one soon grows tired of the name. Brisket is a good soup meat, and when thoroughly cooked the liquid can be chilled, freed from the hard lard which rises in the top and made into a palatable soup. Home-made dumplings are much richer than the manufactured kind. A quick dumpling is made as follows: Beat one egg to a froth, and half an eggshell of water a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of baking powder and flour sufficient to make a dough just thick enough to drop from a teaspoon. Or thicken it with flour to a dough, roll very thin and cut into tiny strips. When making soup you will find that it can be made more quickly by chopping the ingredients in a meat cutter. However, such soup must be carefully watched or it will scorch. Never add milk or cream to Buffie until it is ready to serve Devil's Food Melt over a file a cupful of grated chocolate one cupful of brown sugar and one-half cupful of sweet milk; cool and add the yolk of one egg, well beaten, and set aside.

Bake in three layers and ice with the following iceing. Melt over a kettle five centrs worth of marshmallows boll until it threads one cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of water with one-half teaspoonful of white vinegar.

The beans should be perfectly tender, unbroken and the juice absorbed. While the beans are cooling, clean and wash a bunch of table celery and cut into small pieces, add to the beans mix well and add sufficiently quantity of vinegar or lemon juice to taste. This is an excellent and economical dish Plain Italian Roast. Take a nice piece of real for roast. If there is a bone in the roast cut around it with a small knife. Between the spaces put a small piece of garlic, salt and allspice to taste. Cut as many times as desired and more salt and spices to taste and tie a leaf of celery on top of the roast a small red pepper may be added.

Continued from the First page protested on the verge of tears that bile man was beaten NELSON REFUSES TO QUIT When the fortieth came Referee Smith asked Nelson if he wanted to quit. Nelson, unable to talk mercily shook his head negatively After 30 seconds of the fortieth round had gone, and as darkness was beginning to creep over the scene Referee Smith raised Wolgast's glove and the new lightweight champion was made Wolgast-outgeneraled outboxed and all but outgunned Nelson After the flight Wolgast scampered out of the ring like a schoolboy and galloped through the mud to his training room Nelson was taken out on the arms of his seconds. As he was carried through the crowd he was cheered for the grit and gameness he had displayed Referee Smith made the following statement "Wolfgang fought Nelson at his own game and beat him fairly and squarely Nelson complained at times of Wolfgang's butting but I paid little heed, as it was simply the case of one battler getting the worst of a game where both were equally guilty BOTH FOUGHT THE SAME "Both men fought the same, but one had youth, the power to come back, vigor, life, and all that goes with it, while the thirteen years of fighting through which Nelson had gone had sapped his strength and left him without the old snap, dash, and stamina." Wolfgang said after the fight. "My fight today was like a training bout. Only once did he bother me, and that was in the twenty second round Nelson hurt me more by butting me than anything else and I felt funny for just a few seconds I cannot say anything as to my future plans but I am ready to give deserving lightweights a chance." When Nelson was able to talk he said. "I am sorry they called the fight off when they did I think I could have stayed the 45 rounds, but I have no complaint to make." THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS Detailed Account of the Fierce Battle of Lightweight First round Nelson swung his left high on the head and a moment later planted a solid left to the face. They fought at close range at a fast clip. Wolgast stood with his back against the ropes and fayed the Bat with short arm jabs on the face. Nelson forced the fighting landing right and left on the jaw and face. Wolgast, maddened, fought back fiercely landing several powerful waitations on the champions' jaw and nose. It was an even round. Second round Nelson started the round with a left smash to the face and forced his man against the ropes. Wolgast swung two powerful lefts to the face and a right and left to the jaw at close range Nelson a bled slightly. Both exchanged rights and lefts to the face. A right swing by Nelson made a cut under Wolgast a right eye that bled slightly Nelson took the fighting to his opponent but was met with a hard left to stomach and a right to the jaw. Wolgast had a shade the better of the round. Third round Wolgast shot in three straight lefts to the face. Nelson rebuking him with a right swing fairly on the jaw. Wolgast amused and they mixed it against the ropes. Nelson brought the blood from Wolgast's nose, crossing him with a viotic right. After some wrestling Nelson forced his man against the ropes, but Wolgast covered up and amothered neatly Nelson was doing the majority of the work and both men slowed up considerably. The round was even Fourth round Nelson piled on top of his man, and the Milwaukee fought back forcefully Nelson staggered EdWolstig with a left uppercuff to the jaw, followed with left and right swings to the body Wolstig fought back gamely, playing for the head and body Nelson forced his antagonist against the ropes and tried to land a knock-out punch but Wolstig was too elusive Wolstig landed twice with the right on the face and they fought at close range, Wolstig's right finding the stomach and his left landing on Nelson's jaw Wolstig's oye was swollen as he took his boat. Both men bled from the nos trills at the close of the round, which was given. Fifth round—Nelson forced his man around the ring and delivered a telling smash on the jaw, to which Wolstig responded in kind, lifting Nelson in the air They went at it like a pair of bull terrifiers, and both men were cautioned for butting. The round ended in a furious exchange. Wolstig having the better or it. Sixth round—Wolgast walked to his second as Nelson batted away at him. After Wolgast landed two rights to jaw, and a left swing to the same place Nelson closed in and an exchange of short arm rights and lefts to the head followed. Nelson swung a hard right to the jaw, which the Battler duplicated a moment later. Wolgast backed into his own corner and scored on the stomach with a tremendous left that sent the crowd howling. A moment later he sent in another to the same place. He then bowed with the honors in favor of Wolfgang. SEVENTH ROUND EVEN. Seventh round - Nelson appeared to have slowed down a bit. Wolgast swung two leftofs to the face and a midrung rally followed, the men exchanging right and left swings to the head Wolgast met the oncoming Battler with two uppercents left to the jaw, and an instant later swung twice with right to the face and left to the body, menwhile covering up cleverly Nelson sent Wolgast almost through the ropes with a left smash to the jaw. They mixed it in the center of the ring Wolgast bringing a fresh stream of blood from the champions' face. As the bell rang Nelson swung a hard right over the heart. The round was fairly even. Eighth round Nelson rushed in, planting his right solidly on the jaw. He forced the pace, but was met with a straight right and left to the face Nelson never faltered, however and kept Wolgast constantly at work covering Nelson started the blood flowing from his man's posture as he chased him about the ring, landing several times with the right and left to the face. Wolgast sought a haven against the ropes with Nelson tugging away unceasingly. Wolgast looked tired at this stage of the contest, and his blues seemed to have lost some of their sting. The round closed with Nelson enjoying a good lead Ninth round — Wolfgang broke ground before the Battler ever and anon trying to reach Nelson with right and left to the stomach Finally they mixed it, fighting at a furious clap each landing on the face and jaw One mix was a repetition of the other Nelson forcing his man back and Wolfgang trying hard to stop the pace leader Wolgast upper cut to the Jaw, with his left, and a moment later cut open Nelson's car with a right swing Nelson danced to his corner with the blood streaming from his injured car Nelson had a shade the better of it NELSON FORCES PACE Tenth round - Nelson forced the pace constantly backing his opponent against the ropes Wolgast in a corner got back fiercely, but the champion was not to be stopped Time and again Wolgast landed, but Nelson never faltered Wolgast peppered the champion's face with left and right and finally crossed with a terrific left to the jaw Nelson never winced, all the time compelling Wolgast to step against the ropes Nelson again danced to his corner at the sound of the bell Nelson's round. Eleventh round - Wolgast outboxed champion but could not make him break ground Nelson perseveringly waded in, unmindful of the constant tattoo that Wolgast beat against his face and jaw with short arm hooks and jolts Wolgast swung right and left to the jaw The bell ended the round with Wolgast hammering away at Nelson's jaw and face landing almost at will Nelson's face was a mass of blood as he took his sword with the honors or the round against him. Twelfth round Wolgast was canonized to let go by the reform. Nelson forced the pace as usual. Wolgast meeting him with several hard left swings on the jaw Nelson apparently was determined to tire the Milwaukee out, but meanwhile he received fearful punishment. Wolgast fading with right and left with almost penumbulum plexion. Wolgast assumed to gain confidence as the men roughed it, head to head against the ropes. Wolgast never let up, and again started the blood flowing from Nelson's face with a series of right and left panches. HAT A MASS OF BLOOD Thirteenth round. As the men meted the mark Nelson's lips w puffed and his mouth and eyes swol en. They mixed like tigers Wolgast landing repeatedly on the body and jaw with Nelson fighting wildly and bitting blood. Wolgast literally cut the Battler's face to ribbons but still the dane came on for more. Nelson wrestled his man against the ropes. Wolgast covering up. There was a temporary full in the battler after which Wolgast right and left wounded. The wrestler beating the champion has ever received said old time ring followers as Nelson's second worked over his damaged face at the end of the round. Fourteenth round Wolgast looked ed much the fresher as they came up. He dung his right hard to the face and followed with left and right to the hot) Nelson a face was badly swollen Wolgast fought fiercely taking the fighting right to the Batler Nelson almost forced Wolgast through the ropes and then assisted him to the center of the ring Wolgast smiled and shook the champion a hand warmly Wolgast then hooked his left jaw into the jaw and followed it with a straight right to the Face and the hell ended a rather tame round. Fifteenth round Betting now even money. They whaled away in effectively, at each other, both displaying more caution than in any previous round. Nelson then wrestled him about the ring, only to be rewarded with a left uppercut on the sore mouth. Nelson, outpointed badly, continued to form the pace of the team to win Wolgast's well-timed swings. Nelson missed a terrific swing that was labeled knock out and this taught Wolgast that he had better be careful. It was another tame round EXCHANGE PUNCH FOR PUNCH Sixteenth round—Wolgast swung several times over the kidneys and they roughed it. Nelson receiving the Lion's shavs of the punishment. Wolgast kept pogging away with right and left to the jaw, and finally a tremendous drive caught Nelson's jaw. Nelson never wavened, but closed in, exchanging punch for punch. Nelson swung left and right to the body and forced his antagonist against the ropes, landing several times with right and left on the jaw. Nelson went to his seat dancing. Bentenenth round—Wolgast backed away, Nelson throwing himself at him with great vim. Wolgast met the onslaughts with right and left swings to the body. Nelson fought hard and never stopped. Finally Wolgast swung a terrific right to the left and then shot in a hard right with the champion's more ear. Nelson received a hard left uppercut on the jaw, causing the blood to flow afresh. The men fought every such of the way. Eighteenth round—"How do you feel?" asked Nelson, as the men came up "As if the quick punching a bag," was the quick refounder of Wolgast, with which he waded in, landing right and left on Nelson's sore mouth Wolgast slipped to his knees in his own corner, but was up in a jiffy He covered up with Nelson battering away at him, but failed to land Wolgast apparently staggered the champion, sending in several vicious right swings to the jaw Wolgast deliberately batted the champion with his head and was quickly rebuked by Referee Smith The crowd blissed and the round ended without damage. WOLGAST STAGGERS OPPONENT Nineteenth round—The men came up almost as fresh as at the beginning Wolgast time and again jabbed his left to the face, Nelson fighting back fiercely but ineffectively They battled about the ring, Nelson all the time the aggressor and never renting and Wolgast slowly breaking ground and playing for the face and jaw with short arm jolts.
