The RICHMOND PLANET JEALOUS OF STEPSON, PAUL KILLS WIFE AND THEN SELF, LITTLE BOY ESCAPES. Fleeing for Safety as He Hears Wild Scream, Then Crash, as Revolver Ends Grief. Before the eyes of her eight-year-old son, Leslie Eubank, who was born in her first marriage, Allen B. Paul, of 202 North Meadow Street, shot and killed his wife at 5:15 o'clock yesterday morning, and then retired to his room and put a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead, directly between the eyes, dying instantly. The murder and suicide followed an all night quarrel, according to the clear story told by the little boy, in whose room his mother was twice shot, Mrs. Paul arose before 5 o'clock and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare the bread she had made up the night before for cooking. It was found afterwards ready to go into the stove. FIRST THOUGHT FOR CHILD She returned to her room, where her husband was still lying in bed. Then she went into Leslie's room and found the little fellow dressed and with his light burning. He had not slept a wink during the whole night, and had kept his clothes on because he was afraid that something would happen and he would have to flee for his life. There was a noise in the adjoining room. It was Paul ripping his nightgown to pieces. In a moment he appeared, disheveled, aflame with anger and a 32-callibre revolver in his right hand. With a curse he caught his wife by the wrist, and swung her round, with her back toward him. She screamed and sprang forward so as to be between her maniacal husband and the boy. Paul fired, the bullet penetrating her left arm and going into her lung. "Run, Leslie," she screamed, and fell to the floor. Standing over her body, Paul shot her again, the second bullet entering her left breast. She called to her boy again to run, and as he said afterwards, he ran as fast as he could down the stairs, and around the corner to the home of Charles M. Lyle, 2002 Grove Avenue. NEIGHBORS HEARD SCREAMS. Neighbors heard another shot and a scream of terror. Claude Hooker, who was passing by, ran into the house as he heard the third shot, and called to Paul, "My God, man, look what you've done." "Yes, and I haven't finished yet," the man shouted, running upstairs to kill himself. There was another shot, and the house became silent. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle and others in their household had heard the shots and cries of terror, and were up when Leslie, barefooted, ran to their door. They did not wait to question him, guessing what had happened. Mrs. Lyle telephoned to the Second Police Station and Mr. Lyle went to the house of death. The front door was closed and locked, having caught as the boy shut it behind him. Within a few minutes Policemen Mattern and Flournoy arrived on the scene. They broke open the door. Mrs. Paul was crumpled up on the floor, close to the wall, gasping for breath. She died just as they stooped down to examine her. Following the trail of blood on the stairway and on the wall, they went up to the second floor, and there, on his bed, with blood pouring from a hole in his forehead and with the sheets dripping red, they found Paul stark and still. His hands were crossed on his body, and in the right hand the pistol was firmly clasped. The officers stated it was the most fearsome sight they had ever seen. Drsfl Armistead Wellford and Dr. W. T. Oppenhimer were called, but it as only in response to the needs of formality. The man and woman had been dead some time before they arrived. LEFT LETTER TO FATHER. Evidently, after the third shot, Mrs. Paul ran downstairs in an effort to escape. The stairway and the wall were covered with blood. But the door was locked and she fell in a heap, breathing her last just as the two officers broke in. Blood was also found in the room where she was shot, and in their bedroom there seemed to be nothing but blood. On a dresser a letter, written in pencil and addressed to Paul's father, was found. It was rambling and incoherent, a wild complaint about not having had his supper in time and about mismanaged domestic affairs. Coroner Taylor glanced at it, and seeing that it contained nothing bearing on the murder and suicide, and was relatively unimpled except as showing the state of the man's mind, handed it over to Lawrence Paul, the dead man's father. The latter had little to say. (Continued on Eighth Page.) Few people know that the fight to wipe out the colored Knights of Pythias in the several states was also a feature in this state and that organized efforts on the part of some white men were in evidence at the capital of Virginia during the recent session of the legislature of Virginia. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr, found it necessary to see many influential white citizens about the matter and was highly gratified to note the friendly feeling existing towards the better class of colored people on the part of the white leaders. At no time was he rebuffed, but was treated with friendly consideration. One of the representatives from Pittsylvania county went so far as to say that he would do nothing to injured any of the colored people in that state. As for one of the leading representatives in the Virginia legislature from Richmond, he took an active part in the matter. As a result a bill was so framed and passed as to give the colored Knights of Pythias and similar colored organizations the same protection as has been accorded to the white organizations. Grand Chancellor Mitchell used the argument that if the white people intended to pass laws to keep the colored people from imitating the white people and copying after them then our career in this country was at an end. The houses we build were copied after those built by white people, the clothes we wear are made after those worn by white people. In fact our churches, schools, banks and every department of civilized endeavor were imitations of those occupied by white people. This argument had its effect, together with the appeals to the ex-slave-owners and as a result the following bill was passed which protects the white secret organizations as much as the colored secret organizations. Virginia is the only state in the Union that has the subject up that has gone on record in according their colored citizens the same protection and encouragement as white citizens and this has been done with the consent and approval of the white citizens who recognize the fact that the colored race in this state and in the Southland is "a thing apart," so to speak. HOUSE BILL NO. 152 A Bill—Making it a misdemeanor for persons to unlawfully use or wear any insignia or button of any association, or society, or trade's union, or any southern cross of honor. Patron—Mr. Clemen. Reported from Committee on General Laws. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That an act approved February twentieth, nineteen hundred and eight, chapter fifty-four of an act of nineteen hundred and eight, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows: Any person who shall wilfully wear any insignia, or button of any association, society, or trade's union, or who shall use the same to obtain aid, or assistance, within this State, unless he shall be entitled to use or wear the same under the constitution, by-laws, rules and regulations of such association, society, or trade's union, or any person who shall wilfully wear, or use, to obtain assistance, any southern cross of honor, not being entitled to do so under the regulation under which such crosses of honor are given, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined not exceeding one hundred ($100.00) dollars, and in default of payment, committed to jail for a period not exceeding sixty days. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Reae this bill again and again and get its full meaning and you will be able to appreciate the patriotic spirit existing among the white representatives in this state and the kindly and sympathetic regard that so many of them have for the colored people of this commonwealth. Motorist Killed Him. Junius Nelson Traylor, white, 62 years of age, was struck and almost instantly killed at Eighth and Grace Streets by an automobile operated by Thomas S. Andrews, white, who lives at 107 West Main Street. The accident was said to be primarily due to the slippery streets as a result of the heavy rains and the machine skidded and could not be controlled. Mr. Andrews was arrested and placed under $1,000 bond. The base of the skull of the unfortunate man was fractured and all efforts to save his life were unavailing. WANTED—A Colored Tailor. Steady man for reliable man and good wages to right party. ADOLPH WILLIAMS, Third Avenue and Chestnut St., Nagle Bldg., Contesville, Pa. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1910. Governor Gives Life Imprisonment to Negroes that Slew Schultz. Governor Mann June 9th commuted the death sentence of Calvin Johnson, Eugene Dorsey and Richard Pines, the three negroes who were convicted of the murder of Walter Schultz, the Chicago artist, in Alexandria, to imprisonment for life. Governor Mann bases his action on the fact that the negroes were convicted on the testimony of Henry Smith, a confessed perjurer. There seems to be no doubt that Smith was the leader or the murderous gang, but the jury found all four guilty and sentenced them to death. Smith was electrocuted last Friday. The crime was committed in or near Alexandria March 6, 1909. Judge Mann concludes his statement accompanying the commutation as follows: "Without the testimony of Smith there could have been no conviction. And yet Smith has since the conviction of Dorsey, Johnson and Pines declared that his testimony against them was false and that they were innocent of the crime of which they were convicted and he went to the chair protesting their innocence and his own. "It is believed by every one connected with the case that Smith was guilty of the murder, but he was a confessed perjurer, and the judge in sentencing him declared that he was a perjurer, and no human being can tell whether he told the truth first or last, and this is the condition which confronts my conscience and involves the lives of three men. If all these facts had been before the juries trying the cases I would have less difficulty in reaching a conclusion, but they were not, and after the most careful thought I am in such a frame of mind that, while I do not think the prisoners entitled to pardon, I do think it just to them, who are poor negroes, or to the Commonwealth which desires to punish those certainly guilty, to permit them to be electrocuted and thus put correction of any mistake which may have been made out of the power of the State if the mystery which now surrounds the murder of Schultz shall ever be cleared up." The Mechanics' Savings Bank Bldg. The Mechanics' Savings Bank building is about completed and the finishing touches will be put on this week. The Board of Directors has arranged the opening for Monday, June 27th, 1910. All of the furniture will be in place by that time. Unexpected delays have caused this arrangement. From 9 o'clock on the Monday of the opening week to 12 o'clock at night the public will be admitted. Wednesday evening from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock of the same week will be the only time that will be reserved and admission will be by card. The building with all of its appurtenances is admitted to be one of the handsomest in the entire South. The fixtures are superb and the frescoing is one of the special features. The building is five stories, counting the roof garden, and elevator service is furnished to that point. We shall give a minute description of this magnificent structure later.

The work of this organization aims to improve the educational, moral, industrial, and religious life of the Virginia Negroes. First by awakening and stirring to action in the remotest corners of the State the Negroes themselves. Second, by doing all in our power to solicit the co-operation of the white people in our behalf. This is a task that must be done; but the teachers and preachers are the logical ones to begin it. So let us have delegates either teachers, preachers, or laymen from every part of the State, from city, county, and hamlet in attendance upon this great meeting or instruction and inspiration at Petersburg, June 23-24. Fellows don't fail to be present. JAS. T. PHILLIPS, Pres., TOSSIE P. F. WHITING, Cor. Sec.

Briggs, Chairman. Mr. C. A. Robinson Speaks. Deltaville, Middlesex Co., Va., May 14, 1910. Dear Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to express a few thoughts. I have been a subscriber to your paper for thirteen years, and have always found the news interesting and valuable. I have thought numbers of times that I would discontinue my subscription, but I find so much pleasure in trying to search its pages for facts of the day that I am forced to continue. I am now seventy-four years of age and my eyes are rapidly falling, but I cannot give up my dear old friend which brings to me so much comfort. I said that I am growing old, but I am thankful to say that I am having some happy experiences. The First Baptist Church, at this place, of which I have been a member for forty or more years, is on an upward march. We feel that God is blessing our work under the leadership of our new pastor, Rev. J. A. Martin, who graduated from the Virginia Union University last year. Our hearts were made to rejoice on the third Sunday in March, at the close of the communion service, sinners being present, when the pastor desired to know if any one would like to have the prayers of the christians. One man stood who was about thirty-eight years of age, and soon after reaching home he accepted Christ and brought good news to the church that night when he returned. This brother was baptized today and arose from the waters with a new life and made many to rejoice. We are glad to know that men are now being saved by the preaching of God's word, and they don't have to wait for revivals. We rejoice with the Fifth Street Baptist Church of your city, over a similar happening a few Sunday nights ago. May the Lord continue the blessings. You will find inclosed ($2.00) two dollars, which you will please credit to my account for paper. With best wishes for your success. Yours very truly, C. A. ROBINSON.

Pastor of Fifth Street Baptist Church. This is the 30th Anniversary of His Advent Into the Ministry. STH ST. BAPT. CHURCH. Located, Cor. 5th and Jackson Sts, RICHOM, VA. Weekly News Column. REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., Pastor, Residence: 108 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va. J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The thirtieth anniversary of the Fifth Street Baptist Church is still in progress and will continue throughout this month. Anniversaries are profitable, they refresh the memory, strengthen the intellect and bring about a reunion of friends; such has been the result of our Fifth Street Baptist Church's Anniversary, The clergy, deacons, and laity, have gathered at the Fifth Street Baptist Church and mingled their voices in songs and praises, with one crystalized sentiment in obedience to Divine Precepts. All have joyfully given worship to the Almighty God for His manifold blessings. On Wednesday, June 8, Rev. R. R. Johnson, B. D., pastor of Moore Street Baptist Church, preached a fine sermon, which was enjoyed by all. The Bachelor of Divinity is an impressive good preacher. Last Sunday morning, Old Man Leo elquent, the model, and first Doctor of Divinity in deed and truth among the colored people of Richmond and vicinity, in the person of the Rev, Dr. A. Binga, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Washington Ward, formerly Manchester, Va., preached an extraordinary fine sermon at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Text, 2 Cor. 3:3. Subject, "Christ's Letters." The Doctor gave the lessons of great worth. This sermon was indeed the finest of the fine. Among modern day christians we can point to Dr. A. Binga, as one whom God has blessed, because, probably, of his worthy life of emulation he has lived. Brethren, behold him and think. His voice is sound and not cracked, nor is his natural force seemingly abated. About two months ago we saw him alight from a car at Twelfth and Broad Streets with the agility of a young man of twenty-one. Last Sunday night Rev. Dr. W. T. Anthony, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Washington Ward, formerly Manchester, Va., preached an extra good sermon. Subject, "The Progressive Glory of the Church." The Doctor carried his audience as it were by storm. It was indeed a touching sermon. The congregation got happy, some fell out in giving praise. He is one of the few preachers who can always get into the hearts of his hearers and make them feel strongly the sweetness and benefits of Christianity. On next Sunday morning our beloved pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham will preach. Dr. W. F. Graham came to Richmond June, 1892. We called him from the great Loyal Street Baptist Church of Danville, of which the popular Dr. A. A. Galvin is now pastor. When Dr. Graham took charge of our church we had been without a pastor for more than twelve months. The church forces were scattered and there was a debt of more than $11,000.00, which added very much to the discomfort of the membership. The new pastor however, took hold with a willing hand and found a ready response on the part of the PRICE, FIVE CENTS FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Exercises will be Held there all of this Month in Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Church. membership. The congregations grew and working forces were inspired. Some of the greatest revivals in the history of Richmond were conducted by the Pastor, the largest number being received in the Spring of 1894, when under his own leadership the pastor and the church saw 433 converts in one revival. Of this number the pastor baptized 325. More than 1300 members have joined the church by baptism. The debt of the church was paid off and a great mortgage burning was had. The church had become national in its influence under Dr. Graham's leadership. In 1900 the great National Baptist Convention was entertained by this church free of cost, and notwithstanding the bulk of the work and burden was upon this church, yet the great delegation was cared for handsomely and the church came out at $3.00 ahead of expenses. Under Dr. Graham's leadership $9,000.00 have been spent in beautifying, repairing and installing a $700.-00 steam heating plant and a grand $2,000.00 organ. In this rally and anniversary the church is hoping to raise $2,000.00 and the present indebtedness will then be reduced to about $3,500.00. (Last Sunday morning and evening the Sunday school of the Fifth Street Baptist Church celebrated its thirtieth anniversary, Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton, presiding. In the morning after the usual exercise, Deacon Richard Wallace of the Ebenezer Baptist Sunday School, Staunton, Va., made quite an interesting address. At 3:30 o'clock Rev. M. H Payne, pastor of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church and ex-Superintendent Archer B. Hawkins made interesting addresses. The selection by Mr. John Turner was timely, well delivered and interesting, as was also the address by Asst. Supt. R. H. Fauntroy. The instrumental solo by Miss Annie Brown deserves special mention. It was a rare treat, harmonious and sweet. The quartette sang nicely. Short addresses were delivered by Mr. C. H. Hooper of Second Baptist Sunday School and Mr. W. A. Kyles, of the Moore Street School. A good collection was raised — E. W.)

The cats wall had roused Hotchkiss who was wide awake at once He took in my offensive attitude, the tongs the direction of my gaze, and needed more more. As he picked up the candle and darted out into the hall I followed him He made directly for the staircase, and part way up he turned off to the right through a small door We were on the gallery itself, below us the fire gleamed cheerfully the cat was not in sight. There was no sign of my ghostly visitant, but as we stood there the Bokhara rug without warning, slid over the railing and fell to the floor below "Man or woman?" Holtkiss inquired in his most professional tone. "Neither—that is I don't know I didn't notice anything but the eyes." I muttered. "They were looking a hole in me. If you seen that cat you would realize my state of mind. That was a traditional graveyard yowl!" "I don't think you saw anything at all," he lied cheerfully. You dozed off, and the rest is the natural result of a meal on a buffet car." Nevertheless, he examined the Bokhara carefully when we went down, and when I finally went to sleep he was reading the only book in sight—"Elwell on bridge. The first rays of daylight were coming mistily into the room when he rounded me. He had his finger on his lips, and he whispered sibilantly while I tried to draw on my distorted boots. "I think we have him," he said triumphantly "I've been looking around some, and I can tell you this much Just before we came in through the window last night, another man came Only he did not drop, as you did. He swung over to the stair railing, and then down. The rail is scratched He was long enough ahead of us to go into the dining room and get a decanter out of the sideboard He poured out the liquor into a glass, left the decanter there and took the whisky into the library across the hall Then—he broke into a desk, using a paper knife for a jimmy." "Good Lord, Hotchkiss," I exclaimed; "why, it may have been Bullian himself! Confound your theories—he's getting farther away every minute." "It was Bullian," Hotchkiss returned imperturbably. "And he has not gone. His boots are by the library fire." "He probably had a dozen patrs where he could get them," I scolded. "And while you and I sat and slept, the very man we want to get our hands on leered at us over that railing." Softly, softly, my friend, Hutch kiss said, as I stamped into my other shoe. I did not say he was gone. Don't jump at contusions. It is fatal to reasoning. As a matter of fact he didn't relish a night on the mountains any more than we did. After he had unintentionally frightened me almost into paralysis what would my gentleman naturally do? "to out in the storm again." Not if I knew the Alice sit to the fire type. He went upstairs well up near the roof locked himself in and went to bed. And he is there now. He is there now. We had no weapons. I am aware that the traditional hero is always armed and that Hotchkiss as the low comedian should have had a resolver that missed fire. As a fact we had nothing of the sort. Hotchkiss carried the fire tongs but my sense of humor was too strong for me. I declined the poker. 'All we want is a little portable conversation with him. I demanded. We can't break him first and converse with him afterward. And now how I can't put my finger on the place I think your theory is weak if he wouldn't run 100 miles through water and water to get away from me, he is not the man we want. Hotchkiss, howver, was certain He had found the room and listened out outside the door to the sleepers heavy breathing and so we climbed past luxurious aisles trawled in the deepening dawn past long stings of ball and bobber. And we woke both badly wined when we got there. It was a tower room reached by narrow stairs and well above the roof level Hotchkiss was glowing. It is partly good rock but not all he painted in a whisper. If we had perished in the last night he would have taken a arm and fled Now—we have him. Are you ready? He gave a night's rest at the door with the flue books and stood expectant. Certainly he was right some one moved with it. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hotchkiss hawled You in a well comforted We wont hurt you if all we peaceably Tell him we rested at the law I prompted. That is the customary thing you know. But at the moment in the square, the shirt door and fastened itself with a strap put against the wall of the tower staircase. We ducked unanimously dropped back out of range and Hotchkiss retaliated with a spitted lung bang at the door with the tongs. This brought another bullet. It was a ridiculous situation under the circumstances no doubt we should have retreated at least until we had armed ourselves but Hotchkiss had no end of fighting spirit and as for me my blood was up. Break the look I suggested and Hotchkiss standing at the side out of range retaliated for every bullet by a smashing blow with the tongs. The shots ceased after a half dozen and the door was giving slowly. One of us on each side of the door, we were ready for almost any kind of desperate resistance. As it swung open Hotchkiss poised the tongs. I stood bent forward my arm drawn back for a blow. Nothing happened There was not a sound. Finally at the risk of losing an eye which I justly value. I peered around and into the room. There was no desperado there. Only a fresh faced trembling tipped servant, sitting on the edge of her bed with a quilt around her shoulders and the empty revolver at her feet. We were victorious, but conquered army never beat such a retreat as ours down the tower stairs and into the refuge of the living room. There, with the door closed, sprawled on the divan, I went from one spasm of mirth into another, becoming sane at intervals, and suffering relapse again every time I saw Hotchkiss' disgruntled countenance. He was pacing the room, the tongs still in his hand, his mouth pursed with irritation. Finally he stopped in front of me and compelled my attention "When you have finished cackling," he said with dignity, "I wish to justify my position. Do you think the—er—young woman upstate put a pair of number eight boots to dry in the llbrary last night? Do you think she poured the whisky out of that docenter?" "They have been known to do it," put in, but his eye silenced me. but, but his eye seemed to "Moreover, if she had been the pe- son who peered at you over the galle- ry rolling last night, don't you sup- pose, with her—er—belligerent dis- position, she could have filled you as full of lead as a window weight" "I do," I assented. "It wasn't Alce- sit-by-the-fire. I grant you that Then who was it?" Hutchins felt certain that it had been Sullivan but I was not so sure Why would he have crawled like a thief into his own house? If he had crossed the park as seemed probable, when we did, he had not made any attempt to use the knocker. I gave it up finally, and made an effort to con- ciliate the young woman in the tower We had heard no sound since our appectacular entrance into her room. I was distinctly uncomfortable, as alone this time, I climbed to the tower staircase. Reasoning from before, she would probably throw a chair at me. I stopped at the foot of the stair- on the train!" "Yes." She waited for more questions, but none coming, she went to the door. Then she closed it softly and came back. "Mrs. Curtis is dead? You are sure of it!" she asked. "She was killed instantly, I believe. The body was not recovered. But I have reasons for believing that Mr. Sullivan is living." "I know it," she said. "I—think he was here the night before last. That is why I went to the tower room. I believe he would kill me if he could." As nearly as her round and comely face could express it, Jennie's expression was tragic at that moment. I made a quick resolution, and acted on it at once. "You are not entirely frank with me, Jennie," I protested. "And I am going to tell you more than I have she cleared her." "The house has Mr. Lawrence," she lived in the best life I have I stood by an yesterday—every opened, and my—longings—" she chose. "Did you notify asked sharply.

"Did they take a manded, every nerve" "They took the she returned indig said—" "Confound the co- "I Was Afraid I Had Killed Somebody," She Said case and called Hello up there, I said, in as debonnate a manner as I could summon Good morning. Wie geht es bel thunen? nearly Bon your madeleonie!" I tried again. This time there was a movement of some sort from above, but nothing fell on me. I we want to apologize for rousing you so it unexpectedly this morning. I want on. The fact is we wanted to talk to you and you were hard to wakeen. We are travelers, lost in your mountains and we crave a breakfast and an afternoon. She came to the door then. I could feel that she was investigating the top of my head from above. Is Mr Suilvan with you?" she asked. It was the first word from her and she was not sure of her voice. No. We are alone. If you will come down and look at us you will find us two perfectly harmless people, whose horse curses on him—departed without leave last night and left us at your gate. She relaxed somewhat then and came down a step or two. I was afraid I had killed somebody she said. The housekeeper left yesterday, and the other maids went with her. When she saw that I was comparatively young and locked the car marks of the highwayman, she was greatly relieved. She was included to fight shy of Hotchkiss however, for some reason. She gave us a breakfast of a sort for there was little in the house and afterward we telephoned to the loan Der. a vehicle. While Hotchkiss examined scratches and replaced the lookhawk rag I engaged Jennie in conversation Can you tell me I asked "who is managing the estate since Mrs Curts was killed"? No one she returned shortly. Has any member of the family been here since the incident?" No, sir. There was only the two, and you think Mr. Sultivan was killed as well as his sister." You don't. No with conviction. Why? She wished on me with quick suspicion. Are you a detective? she demanded. No. You told him to say you represented the law. I am a lawyer. Some of them misrepresent the law but I. She broke in impatiently. A sheriff officer. No, I look here. Do you I am all that I should be. You'll have to be believe that. And I am in a bad position through no fault of my own. I want you to answer some questions. If you will help me I will do what I can for you. Do you live near here? Her chin quivered. It was the first sign of weakness she had shown. My home is in Pittsburgh, she said, and I have not enough money to get there. They hadn't paid my wages for two months. They don't pay anybody. "Very well." I returned. "I'll send your back to Pittsburgh Pullman included, if you will tell me some things I want to know." She agreed eagerly. Outside the window Hotechkiss was bending over, examining footprints in the drive. "Now I began there has been a Miss West staying here?" "Yes." Mr Sullivan was attentive to her? "Yes. She was the granddaughter of a wealthy man in Pittsburgh. My aunt has been in his family for 20 years. Mrs Curtis wanted her brother to marry Miss West." "Do you think he did marry her?" I could not keep the excitement out of my voice "No There were 'reasons'—who stopped abruptly "Do you know anything of the family? Are they—were they New Yorkers?" "They came from somewhere in the south I have heard Mrs Curtis say her mother was a Cuban I don't know much about them, but Mr Bullis van had a wicked temper though he didn't look it Folks say big, light haired people are easy going but I don't believe it, sir" "How long was Miss West here?" "Two weeks" I hesitated about further questioning. Critical as my position was, I could not, pry deeper into Alison Westa's affairs. If she had got into the hands of adventurers as Sullivan and his sister appeared to have been she was safely away from them again. But something of the situation in the car Ontario was forming itself in my mind the Incident at the farmhouse lacked only motive to be complete Was Sullivan, after all a rascal or a criminal? Was the murderer Sullivan or Mrs Conway? The lady or the tiger again Jennie was speaking "I hope Miss West was not hurt?" she asked "We liked her, all of us. She was not like Mrs. Curtis." I wanted to say that she was not like anybody in the world Instead—"She escaped with some bruises," I said. Bha glanced at my arm. "You were on the train? "You." She waited for more questions, but none coming, she went to the door. Then she closed it softly and came back. "Mrs. Curtis is dead? You are sure of it!" she asked. "She was killed instantly, I believe. The body was not recovered. But I have reasons for believing that Mr. Sullivan is living." "I know it," she said. "—I—think he was here the night before last. That is why I went to the tower room. I believe he would kill me if he could" As nearly as her round and comely face could express it, Jennie's expression was tragic at that moment. I made a quick resolution, and acted on it at once. "You are not entirely frank with me, Jennie," I protested. "And I am going to tell you more than I have. We are talking at cross purposes." was on the wrecked train, in the same car with Mrs. Curtis, Miss West and Mr Sullivan. During the night there was a crime committed in that car and Mr Sullivan disappeared. he left behind a chain of circumstantial evidence that involved me completely so that I may, at any time be arrested. Apparently she did not comprehend for a moment. Then, as if the meaning of my words had just dawned on her, she looked up and gasped. You mean Mr Sullivan committed the crime himself." I think he did What was it? It was murder. I said deliberately. Her hands clenched involuntarily, and she shrank back. "A woman!" She could scarcely form her words "No a man. Mr Simon Harrington of Pittsburg." Her effort to retain her self-control was pitiful. Then she broke down and cried her head on the back of a tall chair! It was my fault. she said wretch ely, my fault. I should not have sent them the word. After a few minutes she grew quiet. She seemed to hesitate over something and finally determined to say it. You will understand better, sir, when I say that I was raised in the Harrington family. Mr Harrington was Mr Sullivan's wife a father." So it has been the tiger not the lady! Well I had held to that theory all through. Jennie suddenly became a valuable person if necessary she could prove the connection between Sullivan and the murdered man and show a motive for the crime I was trumpetman when Hotchkiss came in. When the girl had produced a photograph of Mrs Sullivan and I had recognized the bronze haired girl of the train, we were both well satisfied—which goes to prove the ephemeral nature of most human contentments. Jennie either had nothing more to say or feared she had said too much. She was evidently uneasy before Hotchkiss I told her that Mrs Sullivan was recovering in a Baltimore hospital. but she already knew it, from some source and merely nodded. She made a few preparations for leaving. while Hotchkiss and I compared notes and then with the cat in her arms, she climbed into the trap from the town. I sat with her and on the way down she told me a little not much. 'If you see Mrs Sullivan she advised, and she is conscious she probably thinks that both her husband and her father were killed in the wreck. She will be in a bad way, air.' You mean that she—still cares about her husband." The cat crawled over on my knee, and rubbed its head against my hand, invitingly. Jenna stared at the uninvolving line of the mountain crests a colossal surf against a blue ocean of sky. "As she cures" she said softly. Women are made like that. They say they are cats, but Peter there in your lap wouldn't come back and lick your hand if you kicked him. If you have to tell her the truth, be as gentle as you can sir. She has been good to me—that's why I have played the spy here all summer. It is a thankless thing spying on people. I skipped suddenly. Hotchkis as and I arrived in Washington late that evening and, rather than arouse the household, I went to the club. I was at the office early the next morning and admitted myself. McKnight rarely appeared before half after ten and our Midwest office force some time after nine. I looked over my previous day's mail and waited, with such patience as I possessed, for McKnight. In the interval I called up Mrs. Klopton and announced that I would dine at bounce that night. What my household subsists on during my numerous absences I have never discovered. Tea, probably and crackers. Diligent search when I have made a midnight arrival, never reveals anything more substantial. Possibly I imagine it but the announcement that I am about to make a journey always seems to create a general atmosphere of depression throughout the house, as though Euphamia and Kiltza and Thomas the stableman, were already subisting, in imagination on Mrs. Klopton's meager fare. So I called her up and announced my arrival. There was something unusual in her tone, as though her throat was tense with indignation. Always shrill, her elderly voice rasped my ear painfully through the receiver. I have changed the butcher, Mr. Lawrence" she announced portentously. The last roast was a pound short, and his mutton-chops—any self respecting sheep would refuse to acknowledge them." As I said before, I can always tell from the voice in which Mrs. Klopton conveys the most indifferent matters, if something of real significance has occurred. Also, through long habit, I have learned how quickest to bring her to the point. "You are pessimistic this morning," I returned. "What's the matter, Mrs. Klopton? You haven't used that tone since Ruphina' baked a pie for the iceman. What is it now? Sobody body poison the dog?" stallon. To see her had by that time becomes an obsession. I picked up my hat, threw open the door, and, obvious of the shock to the office force of my presence, followed so immediately by my exit, I dashed out to the elevator. As I went down in one case I caught a glimpse of Johnson and two other men going up in the next. I hardly gave them a thought. There was no hansom in sight, and I jumped on a passing car. Let come what might, arrest, prison, disgrace, I was going to see Alison I saw her. I flung into the station, saw that it was empty—empty, for she was not there. Then I hurried back to the gates. She was there, a familiar figure in blue, the very gown in which I always thought of her, the one she had worn when, Heaven help me—I had kissed her, at the Carter farm. And she was not alone. Bending over her, talking carnely, with all his boyish heart in his face, was Richey. They did not see me, and I was glad of it. After all, it had been McKnighta game first. I turned on my heel and made my way blindly out of the station. Before I lost them I turned once and looked toward them standing apart from the crowd, absorbed in each other. They were the only two people on earth that I cared about and I left them together. Then I went back miserably to the office and awaits arrest. Strangely enough I was not disturbed that day. McKnight did not appear at all I got at my deak and transacted routine business all afternoon working with feverish energy. Like a man on the verge of a critical illness or a hazardous journey. I cleared up my correspondence, paid bills until I had writer's cramp from signing checks read over my will and paid up my life insurance, made to the benefit of an elderly sister of my mother's I no longer dreaded arrest. After that morning in the station, I felt that anything would be a relief from the tension I went home with perfect openness courting the warrant that I knew was waiting, but I was not molested. The delay puzzled me The earl part of the evening was uneventful. I read until late with occasional lapses, when my book lay at my elbow and I smoked and thought Mrs Klipton closed the house with ostentation caution, about eleven, and hung around waiting to enlarge on the outrageousness of the police search I did not encourage her "One would think, she concluded pompously, one foot in the hall, that you were something you oughtn't to be Mr Lawrence." They acted as though you had committed a crime "I'm not sure that I didn't. Mrs Klipton I said wearly. Somebody did, and the general verdict seems to point my way." She stared at me in speechless indignation. Then she flounced out. She came back once to say that the paper predicted cooler weather, and that she had put a blanket on my bed, but, to her disappointment, I refused to reopen the subject At half past eleven McKnight and Hotchkiss came in. Richey has a habit of stopping his car in front of "By the Way. Mrs. Conway Dropped in the Office Yesterday. While you Were Away." "By the Way, Mrs. Conway Dropped in the Office Yesterday, While you Were Away" the house and honking until some one comes out. He has a code of signals with the horn which I never remember. Two long and a short blast mean I believe. Send out a box of cigarettes, and six short blasts, which sound like a police call, mean 'Can you lend me some money?' Tonight I knew something was up, for he got out and sang the door bell like a Christian. They came into the library, and Hotchkiss wiped his collar until it gleamed McKnight was aggressively cheerful. Not pinched yet!" he exclaimed "What do you think of that for luck! You always were a fortunate devil, Lawrence." "Yes. I ascertained, with some bitterness, I hardly know how to contain myself for joy sometimes. I suppose you know — to Hotchkiss — that the police were here while we were at Cresson, and that they found the bag that I brought from the wreck." "Things are coming to a head" he said thoughtfully "unless a little plan that I have in mind" he hesitated "I hope so I am pretty nearly desperate, I said, doggedly 'I've got a mental toothache, and the sooner it's pulled the better'" "Tut tut," said McKnight, "think of the disgrace to the firm if its senator member goes up for life, of—" he twisted his handkerchief into a noose, and went through an elaborate pantomime. "Although jail isn't so bad, anyhow," he finished, "there are follows that get the habit and keep going back and going back." He looked at his watch, and I fancied his cheerfulness was strained. Hotchkiss was nervously fumbling my book. "Did you ever read the Purloined Letter, Mr. Blakeley?" he inquired. "Probably, years ago," I said. "Poe, isn't it?" She cleared her throat. "The house has been broken into, Mr. Lawrence," she said. "I have lived in the best families, and never have I stood by and seen what I saw yesterday—every bureau drawer opened, and my—my most sacred belongings—" she choked. "Did you notify the police?" I asked sharply. "Police!" she sniffed. "Police! It was the police that 'did it—two detectives, with a search warrant. I—I wouldn't dare tell you over the telephone what one of them said when he found the whisky and rock candy for my cough." "Did they take anything?" I demanded, every nerve on edge. "They took the cough medicine, she returned indignantly, 'and they said—" "Confound the cough medicine!" "I was frantic. 'Did they take anything else? Were they in my dressing room?" "Yes I threatened to sue them, and I told them what you would do when you came back. But they wouldn't listen. They took away that black sealakin bag you brought home from Pittsburgh with you"" I knew then that my hours of freedom were numbered. To have found Bullyan and then, in support of my The House Has Been Broken Into, Mr. Lawrence." case against him to have produced the bag, minus the bit of chain, had been my intention. But the police the bag, and, beyond knowing something of Sullivan's history I was practically no nearer his discovery than before. Hotchkiss hoped he had his man in the house off Washington Circle, but on the very night he had seen him Jennie claimed that Sullivan had tried to enter the Laurela. Then—suppose we found Sullivan and proved the satchel and its contents his* Since the police had the bit of chain it might mean involving Alison in the story I sat down and buried my face in my hands. There was no escape I figured it out correspondingly. Against me was the evidence of the survivors of the Ontario that I had been accused of the murder at the time. There had been blood stains on my pillow and a hidden dagger. Into the bargain in my possession had been found a traveling bag containing the dead man's pocketbook. In my favor was McKnight's theory against Mrs Conway. She had a motive for wishing to secure the notes, she believed I was in lower ten, and she had collapsed at the discovery of the crime in the morning. Against both of these theories, I accuse a purely chimerical person named Sullivan, who was not seen by any of the survivors—save one Alison whom I could not bring into the case. I could find a motive for his murdering his father in law, whom he hated, but again—I would have to drag in the girl. And not one of the theories explained the telegram and the broken necklace. Outside the office force was arriving. They were comfortably ignorant of my presence, and over the transom floated scraps of dialogue and the stenographer's gurgling laugh. McKnight had a relative who was reading law with him, in the intervals between calling up the young women of his acquaintance. He came in singing, and the office boy joined in with the uncertainty of voice of 15. I smiled grimly. I was too busy with my own troubles to find any joy in opening the door and startling them into silence. I even heard, without resentment, Bloba of the uncertain voice inquire when "Blinks" would be back. I hoped McKnight would arrive before the arrest occurred. There were many things to arrange. But when at last, impatient of his delay, I telephoned. I found he had been for more than an hour. Clearly he was not coming directly to the office, and with such resignation as I could muster I moved the floor and waited I felt more alone than I have ever felt in my life. Born an orphan, "an Richey said, I had made my own way, carved out myself such success as had been mine. I had built up my house of life on the props of law and order and now some unknown hand had withdrawn the supports, and I stood among ruins. I suppose it is the maternal in a woman that makes a man turn to her when everything else fails. The eternal boy in him goes to have his wounded pride bandaged, his tattered self respect repaired. If he loves the woman, he wants her to kiss the hurt The longing to see Allison, always with me, was stronger than I was that morning. It might be so that I would not see her again. I had nothing to say to her rate one thing, and that, under the cloud that hung over me, I did not dare to say. But I wanted to see her, to touch her hand—as only a lonely man can crave it. I wanted the comfort of her, the peace that lay in her presence. And so, with every step outside the door a threat, I telephoned to her. Bhe was gone! The disappointment was great, for my need was great. In a fury of revolt against the sebane of, things, I heard that she had started Home to Richmond—but that she might still be ought at the CHAPTER XXVI Qo 10 Richmond He was choked, as my indifference, "It is a masterpiece," he said, with enthusiasm. "I read it today." "And what happened?" "Then I inspected the rooms in the house off Washington" Circle. —I made some discoveries, Mr. Blakeley. For one thing, our man was left handed. He looked around for our approval. "There was a small cushion on the dresser, and the scarpins in it had been stuck in with the left hand." "Somebody may have twisted the cushion," I objected, "he looked hurt, and I desisted. "There is only one discrepancy," he admitted, "but it troubles me. Ac- cording to Mrs. Carter, at the farm- house, our man wore gaudy pajamas, while I found here only the most se- verely plain night-shirts." Any buttons on "McKnight inquired, looking again at his watch. "The buttons were there," the amateur detective answered gravely, "but the buttonhole next the top one was torn through." McKnight winked at me lurively. "I am convinced of one thing." Hotchkiss went on, clearing his throat, "the papers are not in that room. Either he carries them with him, or he has sold them." A sound on the street made both my visitors listen sharply. Whatever it was it passed on, however I was growing curious and the restraint was telling on, McKnight. He has no talent for secrecy. In the interval we discussed the strange occurrence at Cresson, which lost nothing by Hotchkiss' dry narration. "And so," he concluded "the wom an in the Baltimore hospital is the wife of Henry Sullivan and the daughter of the man he murdered. No wonder he collapsed when he heard of the wreck." "Joy, probably." McKnight put in. "Is that clock right, Lawrence? Never mind, it doesn't matter. By the way, Mrs Conway dropped in the office yesterday while you were away. "What!" I sprang from my chair. "Sure thing. Said she had heard great things of us, and wanted us to handle her case against the railroad. "I would like to know what she is driving at," I reflected. "is she trying to reach me through you." Richie's slippancy is often a cloak for deeper feeling. He dropped it now. Yes, he said, she after the notes, of course. And I ill tell you I felt like a poltroon—whatever that may be—when I turned her down. She stood by the door with her face white, and told me contemptuously that I could save you from a murder charge and wouldn't do it. She made me feel like a cur. I was just as guilty as if I could have obliged her. She hinted that there were reasons and she laid my attitude to beautiful motives." "Nonsense," I said, as casily as I could Hotchkiss had gone to the window "She was excited There are no 'reasons,' whatever, she means" Richay put his hand on my shoulder "We've been together too long to let any 'reasons' or 'unreasons' come between us, old man," he said, not very steadily Hotchkiss, who had been silent, here came forward in his most impressive manner. He put his hands under his coat-tails and coughed. "Mr Blakeley," he began, "by Mr. McKnight's advice we have arranged a little interview here to night. If all has gone as I planned, Mr Henry Pinckney Sullivan is by this time under arrest. Within a very few minutes—he will be here." "I wanted to talk to him before he was locked up." Richey explained. "He's clever enough to be worth knowing, and, besides, I am not so coockure of his guilt as our friend the patch on the seat of government. No murderer worthy of the name needs six different motives for the samo crime, beginning with robbery, and ending with an unpleasant father-in-law." We were all silent for awhile. McKnight stationed himself at a window, and Hotchkiss paced the floor expectantly. "It's a great day for modern detective methods" he chirruped "While the police have been guarding houses and standing with their mouths open waiting for claws to fall in and choke them we have pieced together, bit by bit, a fabric—" The door-bell rang, followed immediately by sounds of footsteps in the hall. McKnight throw the door open, and Hotchkiss, raised on his toes, flung out his arm in a gesture of superb eloquence. "Behold—your man!" he declared. Through the open doorway came a tall, blond fellow, clad in light gray, wearing tan shoes, and followed closely by an officer. "I brought him here as you suggested, Mr. McKnight," said the constable. But McKnight was doubled over the library table in silent convulsions of mirth, and I was almost as bad. Little Hotchkiss stood up, his important attitude Quailly changing to one of chagrin, while the blind man ceased to look angry, and became sheepish. It was Stuart, our confidential clerk for the last half dozen years. McKnight sat up and wiped his eyes. "Stuart," he said sternly, "there are two very serious things we have learned about you. First, you jab your scarf pins into your cushion with your left hand, which is most reprehensible; second, you wear—er—nightshirts, instead of pajamas. Worse than that, perhaps, we find that one of them has a buttonhole torn out at the neck." Stuart was bewildered. He looked from McKnight to me, and then at the crestfallen Hotchkiss. "I haven't any idea what it's all about," he said. "I was arrested as I reached my boarding-house to night, after the theater, and brought directly here. I told the officer it was a mistake." Poor HortchRiss tribb bravely to justify the flasco. "You can not deny," he contender. (Continued on forenth Page.) SATURDAY.....JUNE 18, 1910. MY STORY OF MY LIFE BY JAMES J. JEFFRIES JEFFRIES IN 1899 COPYRIGHT 1899 BY W.A. BRADY [Copyright, 1810, by McClure Newspaper and Great Britain. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XIV READY FOR THE FIGHT AND WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DRESSING ROOM. I DIDN'T do much work the day before the fight, for I was ready and fit and only needed a day's rest. I never ran my weight down so low while training for any other fight. When I came east to meet Armstrong I weighed just 245 pounds stripped to fighting togs in the ring. Now, ready to meet Fitzsimons, I scaled exactly 204 pounds. I had run myself to a shadow. Two days before the fight I weighed just 200 pounds stripped and let everybody around camp see me I STRETCHED OUT ON A COT on the scales. The day before the fight I went with a number of report- ers to the baggage room at the railroad station. There, on the baggage scales, in jumpers and a light sweater, I weighed an even 210 pounds. I never attempted to make such low weight again, as I know I'm stronger and have more endurance when I carry forty pounds more flesh on my bones. On the way up to New York I went sound asleep on the train and slept an hour. In New York we all had lunch and then went to Proctor's and saw a vaudeville show. After the show we went to Coney Island by train. Fitzsimmonus was a great favorite, of course. Few people knew anything about me. I was a stranger. At Ben Cohen's hotel—a great gathering place for sporting men—the most famous sports in America and gathered. In the beginning Fitzsimmonus was a 3 to 1 favorite, but as the talk about his great fight grew his friends began offering more and more. Before we were in the ring the betting was 3½ to 1 on Fitz and some put up 4 to 1 I heard all about the odds but that didn't worry me at all. I felt absolutely sure that I'd win. Of course I knew that Fitzalminous was a great fighter and that he knew more about boxing in a minute than I did in an hour. But I find it all figured out. I didn't the slightest fear that he knock me out. The only thing that bothered me was the idea that he might be able to close both of my eyes, and that in that case it would be hard to find him. But all the time I expected to get him in the end. When we reached the Coney Island A C there was a feeling of nervousness in our little party. Brady and Delaney thought I was on edge, and perhaps I was—nill. It was a pretty big occasion. In a couple of hours I was going to either have any hand knocked off or beat the world's champlon and put myself in line for a whole lot of fame and a big bunch of money. It was either to the top or back to the hills for me, and nobody knew it better than I did. Still, if I was nervous I didn't feel it, and I thought the boot was on the other foot. I thought Brady and Delaney were about ten times as nervous as I was. They weren't in training like myself, and they hadn't lived out of doors in the hills. They were to win or lose a pile of money on what I did in the ring, and they could only stay on the outside and watch me. But as I heard it afterward Billy Brady took Dolany off to one side and said something like this: "Bill, we've got to keep the big fall from getting too nervous while he's waiting. We must get him away from here and keep him where he won't do too much thinking. I've got a scheme. I want to talk it over, and when he gets it in his head he'll be more confident." So Brady and Delaney came back to me, and said, "Jeff, let's go out of here and take a quiet walk to kill time." We started. It was a cold-night. We walked slowly along Coney Island boulevard away from the crowds, keeping in the shade of the trees, where nobody could recognize us. And on the way Billy Brady unfolded his plan, "Jim," he said, "we don't know what tricks these follows may have up their sleeves, and we might as well spring something first and get them guessing. I have a corking scheme. We can pull it off easy, and it's a winer." "It's all right, Jim," put in Delaney "Sure winner," said Brady, slapping me on the back. "Well," I said, "what is it?" Billy looked around to make sure nobody was within hearing. "Jim," he weat on, "confidence is the thing that makes a champion. As soon as any fighter loses confidence he's a whipped man. Now, I know you've got it," slapping me on the back again, "but so has Fitzsimmons. We've got to shake his confidence and the rest will be like taking candy from a baby. Now, here's the idea. Fitzsimmons has never seen you stripped or he hasn't seen you for a long time. He doesn't realize what he's up against. He thinks he's going to fight a half baked dub whil he seared to death the moment Fitz puts up his hands. See? "You've got to shake his confidence just a few minutes before the fight. It's got to be a sudden shock to upset a man like Fitzsimmons. You must show him your size first and your strength and then let him see that you don't care a snap of your finger whether he's Fitzsimmons or some bum preliminary scraper. "Now, here's the way you're going to do it. When you are stripped to go into the ring and waiting for the call you stretch out on the cot just opposite the door in your dressing room. Sprawl yourself out to look as big as you can. Fitz's dressing room to only a few steps away. I'll go to his door find 'all Martin Julian out. I'll get into a discussion with Julian over the rules. We can't agree, and I'll say, 'Damn it get Fitz and come into Jeff's room here and let Fitz set it himself.' Fitz will be inside his door listening on the quiet, to hear what I'm asking for. He's a foxy fellow and it'll strike him all of a sultan that this will be a good chance to let you see him and scare you before you get into the ring. Hell jump right out and come with us. The minute he pops into your door his eyes fall on you and he gets a good look at the size of you. That's his first shock. You just glance at him as if you didn't take any interest in Fitz simmons at all. At the same time I'll begin to claw at Fitz and argue about the rules for all I'm worth. You jump up from your cot grab me by the collar throw me on my head in the corner with a jerk of your hand and growl at Fitz. Well how do you want to fight? Then put your hand on his shoulder as roughly as you can and slam him against the wall." We went back to the club. It all came off exactly the way Billy Brady planned it. I stretched out on the cot. Brady went out, and in a minute he came back with Julian and Fitzimmons. I glanced at Fitz as if I didn't know who he was and wondered why he was butting in. Brady got in front of Bob and began saying "I want this thing settled before my man goes into the ring. I want to know whether it is to be clean breaks or hit in the breaks." I almost had to laugh at the expression on Fitzimmons' face as he looked over Brady's head at me. But I jumped up as if I were dead sore. I grabbed Billy by the collar and jerked him toward the corner of the room so hard that he spun around two or three times and fell all over himself. "You talk too much," I said. "What've you got to say about it?" Then I turned to Fitzsimmons and looking as ugly as I could considering how much I wanted to laugh, I growed. "Well, how do you want to fight?" At the same moment I gave him a blow and put all of my weight into it so that he flow the whole length of the dressing room and nearly broke through the partition at the end. I could see Fitzsimmons' eyes pop out I GAVE FITZ A RHOVE Bryd says that he had picked himself up by that time, and he almost bad to laugh as he saw Fitzsimmons stare at me with his jaw dropped down in surprise. That about ended the discussion. "Straight rules," said Fits, and then he and Julian went out and back to their own room. It was all right to talk about having Fitsimmons beaten before the fight began. But if any other beaten men can fight the way Fits did that night may I meet few of them. I believe that little act in the dressing room shows his confidence and that he know he was up against the hardest proposition of his life, even up against defeat. But for all that he fought like a cornered wildcat. He was the greatest man in the world, old Fits was.

JEFFRIES [Copyright, 1910, by McClure Newspaper] Bydicate Copyright in Canada and Great Britain. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XV I KNOCK FITSIMMONS OUT AND BECOME CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. If there's a time in a man's life when he ought to be nervous it is when he's going out to fight for the world's championship. But I didn't feel nervous as I pushed through the crowd and walked down toward the ring that night at Coney Island Funny. I just kept thinking, "Gee, I'm glad all that hard training is over." Fitsimmonms was ahead of me. He looked a little pale, but had a grin on his face and was waving his hands to his friends around the ring. At last the bell rang, and we came out toward each other. As soon as we I COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT OF BOB'S BODY AT THE END OF MY ARM I COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT OF BODY'S BODY AT THE END OF MY ARM came together I rushed, and Fitz avoided me and kept out of danger. Then we both settled down to work. There wasn't much doing that first round except that I had a chance to realize Fitzsimons' strength by the way he pushed me away from a clitch. He seemed stronger than Sharkey Later on in the fight, from the way he hit, I should judge that he was a third as strong again as the sailor- yes, at least a third In the second round I began cutting loose. I punched the champion two or three good ones in the body, and he clenched I pulled his arms down and tossed him away. He came back with a rush, but was swinging wild. I caught him on the ear with a right, and Pitz stepped away and scratched his head with his gloves, laughing "Look out, Jim, he's blinding." Ryan called from my corner. But I was doing my own fighting now. I jumped in as suddenly as I could and shot my left foot straight to the champion's jaw. I could feel the weight of Bob's body at the end of my arm. The punch lifted him fairly from his feet and dropped him flat on his back on the floor. Afterward when Fitzsimmons told Martin Julian he was drunked when he fought me Julian said "Yes, Bob that punch Jeff hit you in the second round drugged you all right." After that round I fought like a machine doing my work steadily. "Keep that right hand down. Use it for the body." Hilly Paleney told me in my corner. Vitz, sore over having been knocked down and beginning to realize that he was up against a hard proposition instead of a "big dug, bogus walking into me and going hook after hook. He didn't go for the body much. Almost all of his blows were sent for my jaw. Many of them I blocked or ducked but a few reached me and the champion surely could hit. In the middle of the fourth round I dropped the crumb for a moment and straightened up to stug and then as Fitzsimmon whirled into me I bent over and drove my right into his ribs so hard that he went down to his knees and staged three five seconds. I waited and gave him plenty of time, and we were taking it easy when the bell rung. From that time on I used the right and the left for the body hard and often, and I could see Fitzsimmons gradually weakening. He began to know after awhile that nearly every rush would end by my getting in a hard punch along the edge of his ribs, yet he never stayed away and never stopped trying. The way he recuperated in every minute's rest after going to his corner tired and wabbitly was astonishing. No matter how weak he was at the end of a round, he always came up strong and full of fight for the next one. In the seventh round, I think it was, Bob landed a terrible right hander in the pit of my stomach. It was as hard as the blow he finished Corbett with at Carson. Lucky for me, I had a thick layer of muscle to bounce the blow off. It hurt but it didn't stop me or move me up very much, although it made my legs feel heavy for a moment. The amount of punching Bob could take was a wonder. In the eighth, after landing a bunch of hard blows on his rips, I sent in one that lifted him from the floor and nearly threw him over the ropes. Yet Bits came back at me grimly as if he liked it and trying to knock my head off. I had a big cut over one eye, and his swings opened it fresh, every round. Still, I wasn't getting cut the way we We offer you, the latest and most artistic photos, at a more moderate figure, than you can obtain elsewhere. Special attention paid to children.

Weddings, Suppers and Entertainments promptly attended. I expected to be. Fitzsimmons was bleeding much more from my left jaws. In the ninth I slipped in hard rights to Bob's ribs. He rushed me and then suddenly varied by following the right with a left book so hard that the breath flow out of his mouth. That was a great combination of gunnery I knocked out Jim Corbett the same way years later in San Francisco. This time it didn't put the champion down, but it robbed him his judge ment, and although he came at me again in his dead game fashion his swings were wild. They either welt short or around my neck as I ducked in toward him. "Go slow." I said to myself "Go slow! You've got this fellow licked." The end was near. I think everybody in the house but Fitzsimmons realized it. The crowd that had been cheering like mad grew quieter. It was seeing the passing of a great champion. In the tenth round Fitzalmouns started furiously and drove me across the ring and against the ropes. As I felt them at my back I managed to slip away to one side. Fits turned and fairly jumped at me. I met him with a straight left on the face with all my weight behind it. As in the second round, the champion was lifted from his feet and thrown down on his back. It was a hard knockdown and would have kept nine men out of ten on the floor. Seven or eight seconds, went by, and then Fits got up slowly and shook himself and looked around to see where he was and what was going on. I waited and gave him plenty of time. As soon as he saw me he came in again with a wild rush, swinging both hands for my body with all his might. He was a desperate man now. He forced me to the ropes, and for a moment I covered up. Then I found that there was no real force behind the champion's blows. I pushed him away and was just starting for him again when the bell rang. He was a good, game sport—Fitzsimmons. As soon as the bell rang for the eleventh he came at me as hard as ever and apparently just as confidently. He was grinning as he swung one hand after another for my jaw. I ducked under the blows and met him with a right in the ribs that stopped him short and shoved him back a stop. It knocked the breath out of him, and for a moment he didn't move. I stood still and looked him over. The muscles of his thighs were quittering. His mouth was open as he gasped for air. But only for a second. Then he tore at me again. This time I crumpled low and drove my left into his body. The punch didn't stop Fix. He pushed me back to the ropes, trying his best to put me down with a swing on the jaw. The blows glanced off, and I stopped him with jabs on the mouth. And now came the finish Fitz rushed at me. For the first time I broke ground and ran away. It was only to draw him on, for as he came with a great rush I stopped suddenly with my left arm stuck out like a beam and he run into it. It my glove came up on the mouth and he dropped forward this time on his face. Over the referee, stopped right over Fitz to push me back.

Fitzsmimmons rolled over rolled back again, got to his knees and up to his feet. As before, I gave him plenty of time. When he polished himself to start fighting again I stepped in and jabbed him with the left Fits titered. Then, judging the blow very carefully to make it just hard enough to thush him, not trying to knock his head off, I brought the right over Down went Fitzsmimmons for the last time. He fell on his face still a moment, rolled over on his back and was counted out. There was a rear from the crowd. On all sides men were scrambled into the ring. Brady and Delaney were through the ropes in a second and almost carrying me back into my corner in their excitement. I pulled away and walked across the ring to Fitzsimons who had been carried to his corner by the seconds and popped up in his hair. He was still dazed but up on his hand feebly "Well, Fitz we could both win" I said. (Continued on Sixth Page.)

SENATE House Short Hair Clause and the Senate Provision For Suspension of Now Rates Accepted by Conferences The conferrence of the senate and house shall a complete agreement in the record and Senator Elkins unanimously presented the report to the senate. The agreement was in a cordance with an amendment made at the end of a conference at the White House to which Senators Elkins and Aldrich participated with the president Although the Democratic conference Senator Newlands and Representative Adamson refused to sign the report massachusetts had not participated in its preparation it is conspired that the report will have a substantial major parties in both houses and that a considerable number of the members of the minority will vote for it. The president wishes for a com- mission to investigate and recommend a method for supervising future stools and bond issues are included in the conference report. The committee adopted the house long and short land provision and the report provision is regard to the as- sessment of the issue in rates. The latter section provides in effect that the proposed increases shall not go into effect for a period of seven months from the time notice is given by the railroads, but it is further provided that the interstate commerce commission shall give to hearings on such questions preference over all other questions pending before and shall make decisions thereon asapidly as possible. The report provides that the section relating to the suspension of the increases in rates and the section providing for the appointment of a commission to investigate the question of federal regulation of stocks and bonds shall take effect immediately. The remaining portions of the bill will go into effect state days from the date of approval by the president. There was some friction over putting into the bill the paragraph to authorize the appointment of a commission by the president to take up the subject of stock watering by the railroads. The president remained firm in his insistence that there should be some provision looking to the control of future issues of railroad securities that the party might say it had complied with its platform pledge in the prospect. It is said that a committee of railroad attorneys was urging the conference not to put such a provision in the bill. This fact did not disturb the president.

THE OPENING SPORTING GOSSIP. --- Narrowly Escapes Knockout Boxing With Jeff. Bun Lomond, June 12 —With six rounds of fast boxing in the afternoon, Jeffries put in the most satisfactory day. From the spectators' viewpoint of any since the beginning of his present training season. Corbett and Choynski were taken on for three rounds each. Farmer Burns serving in a wrestling bout for the two finishing periods. Almost 5,000 persons gathered around the new outdoor ring and waited several hours under the hot sun for the former champion's appearance. The crowd gave Corbett and Jeffries a cheering when they donned the gloves. The battle between the two was the best they have yet offered the finance officers has Jeffries decided to all the way through, booking Corbett's blows easily in the second round the boxing was especially fast and Corbett's tried hard to send home some of his carefully contrived uppercuts. They all fell short. If Corbett has copied the black man's favorite blow correctly Jeff has evolved what appears to be an impregnable defense against it. Corbett shot them in with building swiftness and Jeff threw the switch all of them BLOW DOESN T FEAZE IEEF The fighter landed one telling left on the end of Jeff's cill without in the beast disturbing the peaceful calm of the larger's couponance. In the third found the bother miser swung several hard ones. Had Corbett been there when they arraised the bout would have endured suddenly. Gentleman Jim' did not clamor for another round when the bout ended. Choynski narrowly escaped an accidental knock-out in the second round of his bout. Jeffries suddenly fell into his crouch and whipped an overhand left hook and Choynski jumped squarely into it. The glove catching him full in the face and lifting him completely from the floor Joe was dazed and Jeffries grabbed him at once and swung the veteran about until his head cleared. The blow which picked Choynski's foot did not seem to have any particular force behind it but had Jeffries hooked it hard it would have done serious damage. TO BOX FOR NEXT TEN DAYS I'll use the gloves every day for the next ten days," he said. "Speed is a must all I need now and boxing is just what will give it to me. Corbett will be in shape to go more than three rounds with me in a few days and I will give the others enough to keep them busy." During the day Roger Cornell got out his tape and make a set of measurements for the sake of those who are included to figure These measurements are given, as follows. Nice 14 14 inches chest, normal 46 inches chest, expanded 51 inch waist, 35 12 thigh 25 12, calf 17 biceps, 16, forearm, 13 ankle 17 wrist 1, height 6, foot 1 12 inches reach 75 inches. Those late measurements show a slight trimming down at the waist line over the last set taken and a corresponding increase in the chest and neck. A HOWD SEES JOHNSON WORK San Francisco June 12 12ack Johnson performed today before the last crowd since he began train from the interior to town came from the interior to town JEFFRIES BADLY ADVISED So Says John L. Sullivan, Roasting Cobbett and Joe Chornick New York, June 13 — Is Joffre all right inside? That's the question "remarked John L. Sullivan to a crowd of listeners today. "He looks fine as silk, trained down to fighting weight, muscles showing, and all that sort of thing, but are his bellows O K? If they are, he'll knock the tar out of Johnson as soon as he gets to him, although that may take some time. If Jeff's wind is aftected in the alightest degree, he may have trouble with this big negro. Jeffries has been badly advised. He's got a gang around him that won't help him any. They mean well, but that's all. Why, this fellow Corbett who, is talking so much, is 44 years old, and couldn't stand up for four rounds with little Ketchel. Neither could Choynak, who is older than Corbett. Of what earthly use are these back numbers to Jeffries? He can't try out his punches on either of them, because he doesn't want to call in the coroner, while their punches, delivered as hard as possible, are only love taps. Bob Armstrong is 50 years old. He is willing to take a walloping for his board and lodging, but he could not hurt Jeffries in a year of steady, slugging. "I'll tell you how Jeffries should have trained for this fight. He should have tried, some big, rough fellow, like Barry or Ross, who can hit. Then he should have let him pitch in and hammer his head and body every day for further orders. Jeffries needs that kind of experience after his lay-off. Boxing a few rounds each day with weak, old men doesn't do any good at all. It's the real fighting in the ring on July 4th that's going to tell the tale. It will be far different from training in camp. Jeffries has got to have speed and atamina to get Johnson right, and you can right now that Johnson is going to keep away. "This isn't a ton-round affair, romember, but a 45-round fight, which, if it goes the limit, will last more than three hours of actual work. In that case the men will be inside the ropes for four hours, and Jeffries must be fit to stay that long without being exhausted. If he's right inside, well and good, and I hope he will be Looks don't go for much. It's the old lung power and the stomach. "When I trained for Corbett down at Cauoe Place Inh I got off all the weight necessary, and I never felt better in my life. But in the fight I soon learned that something was lacking. It was hard to get around the ring, and harder still to land a good blow. Then my wind and stomach gave out, and it was all up with me. It's a mistake for Corbett and the other windy guys around Jeffries to tell him he can't lose, for Johnson isn't a slouch, and is going to put up a scientific fight." --- GANS RAPIDLY SINKING Former Lightweight Champion is Very Near Death's Door. San Francisco, June 13 — News came from Phoenix, Ariz. today that Joe Gans formerly lightweight champion is very near death a door from tuberculosis. Consumption has made rapid strides since Gans arrived in Phoenix, and the climate does not seem to help the veteran as he has remained too long in Baltimore before trying the change. Gans is said to be a more shadow of the old fighter who once conquered Brit Nelson and all other asians for lightweight honors. LANGFORD'S BIG TASK --- Fights Kaufman and Burns in One Short Summer. Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, plans up active campaigns for that husky, and if his schemes materialize he expects to nurse Sam up to a world's championship. As a starter, Woodman has signed for two important battles, the first being a twenty round affair with Al Kaufman prospective date June 18, next, the other being a 46-round affair with Tommy Burns on September 5, at Frisco. If Sam successfully emerges from these two combats Woodman will hurt a challenge to the worst next fall. There is an air of uncertainty regarding the exact date for the Langford Kaufman session. When originally talked of the hout was set for June 11 but Kaufman some days ago asked for a postponement of two weeks Promoter Louis, Blot of San Francisco. Cal who plans to stage the contest, agreed to set back the affair one week only. There the matter stood at last advices from the coast. IMPORTANT BATTLES FOR LANGFORD Both of the coming encounters are important and hard ones for Langford. He will be giving away weight to each, but this handicap is in a measure balanced by Sam's extraordinary hitting powers and his almost impenetrable defense. He will look like a pygmy alongside of Kaufman, but Langford is used to taking such odds. If the past performances of Kaufman and Langford with Jim Barry as an opponent be considered as giving a line on the outcome of the San Francisco match, then Langford must be looked on as a 10 to 1 shot. It took Kaufman 39 rounds of hard milling to whip Barry in 1905 Langford knocked Barry out so often that the process got to be a habit with him, and the longest that big Jim managed to stick with the sturdy black was in their last meeting, when Barry took the count in the eighteenth round. But Kaufman has improved greatly since he faced Barry, according to all accounts and the experience he will gain while training in company with Jack Johnson should prove of vast benefit to him. There must be strong possibilities in Kaufman's make up when a discrete individual like Delinney can fit to hold on to him for more than five years. BURNS MAY SURPRISE HIM If Langford wins from Kaufman there will be a great deal of interest manifested in the former's match with Burns. Tommy is built just light to tackle the giant-slaying black. Short, aquatty, yet long in the reach, tricky at every stage of a fight and carrying a sound wallop in both gloves, he might be able to turn the tables on the Boston terror. Old timer remember how that old match in Kild Lavigon, whom short, compact frame withstood successfully the body punches of the colored man who disposed of so many bigger fellows and wonder if Burns can in like fashion-beat Langford at the latter's own game. There will be two heavyweight engagements on the coast during the coming week. On Tuesday night Sandy Borguson, the brawny Boston Scot, who recently won a newspaper decision over Jack Burns, will be pitted against Jim Barry in a ten-round no-decision affair at Los Angeles, Cal. They met in Boston a little over a year ago and Barry was disqualified for fouling in the tenth round. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. CURRENT SPORTING GOSSIP Glowing Reports of Jeff's Condition Not Convincing. In spite of the glowing accounts of Jeffries's physical appearance and the remarkable way he has reduced his weight doubt still exists as to his stamina and many experienced ring followers are worrying. Simply because Jeffries has taken off roils of fabby flesh and is able to show stomach, arm, leg and back muscles to admiring friends it is not conclusive evidence that the boldermaker can fight for three hours and a quarter if necessary without breaking down. Jeffries's weak points is the breathing apparatus, the "blowout" as the sporting fraternity calls it. Jim Corbett, who is writing columns in praise of Jeff's trim, says the big fellow runs miles on the road or plays handball by the hour without showing signs of distress in lung power. But road runs and handball while included to exhaust one's endurance are not nearly so trying as actual fighting in the ring. Fighting brings into play every bit of energy in the human frame. The logs, arms, lungs and brain are put to a severe test, and unless a pugilist possesses perfect health and strength he will find it a difficult matter to go a long distance. Jeffries persistently, refrains from showing how much endurance he possesses in ring work. His boxing is confined to half a dozen light rounds a day, the rounds sometimes lasting only a minute and there are some days when he doesn't box at all. With such men as Choynsak, Berger, Armstrong and Corbett to try him out in these tame affairs Jeffries derives little or no benefit yet he persistently refuses to indulge in rough slugging bouts with big hitters like Kaufman and Langford. Jeffries hasn't shown anybody yet what he can do at top speed in the ring and for that reason there is some doubt as to his true condition He is surrounded by men who jolly him incessantly and seem ready to misrepresent him rather than have him get out of the match if Jeffries is as fit as his chronicles insist he will beat Johnson in three or four rounds, for it is stated gravely that the big fellow is as powerful as when he knocked Fitzsimons out at coney Island. That was eleven years ago this month, when Jeffries weighed 200 pounds, and was a wonderful specimen of physical development. Those who have had experience with Johnson of life in recent years cannot believe the stories of his rejuvenation that are coming from the coast. They say Jeffries may "look well" but they doubt very much whether he has the real strength to last through a long fight The prevailing odds on the big fight are to 7 in favor of Jeffries, with very little Johnson money in evidence on the coast. As a matter of fact, the fight looks like an even money chance, on the basis that when two heavy hitters meet it is never sure thing for either. One punch landed on the point of the law or in the pit of the stomach may end the big trap in a fist. KAM FMAN SAYS NEGRO SHOULD WIN THE MILJ Roughs It With Johnson, Then Gives An Opinion on Way Fight Will Go San Francisco June 11. At the conclusion of his work today Jack Johnson went on the scales and showed his present weight to be 214 pounds in ring tots. The weight in followed the best workout of his training schedule this afternoon. There were eleven rounds of boxing, of which four were two-minute contests with Al Kaufman in addition the champion boxed four rounds with George Cotton and two more with Dave Mills. It is judged from the line of work Johnson is following that he expects to receive a pummeling in the stomach from Jeffries. To prepare for this Johnson is allowing his sparring partners to hit him ' the midriff. Even Kaufman was instructed to play for the champion's stomach With 200 pounds of good weight to back him up. Kaufman wrestled Johnson around the ring in much better shape than any of the colored man's regular sparring partners and the work was good for both or them. PICKED BY WHITE MAN "Johnson is a wonderful fighter." Kaufman said "He has improved since I fought him ten rounds at Colma. Of course, he has gained in weight, and while it is hard to tell about a punch with those gloves I know that he can hit harder I expect to see him beat Jeffries I think the retired champion will not be able to lay a glue on the negro." There was a spirit of good nature pervading the afternoon's performance, and half the time the crowd was in an unproar Johnson was in high spirits, and when he tossed the medicine ball around he tried to knock down his helps, and frequently throw the ball so that it would land in some part of the crowd. Johnson will box, again tomorrow afternoon with Al Kaufman, but will not put the gloves on Monday. LIKE NEW ORLEANS FIGHT Tom Flanagan, trainer-in-chief of Johnson, went on record today as declaring that, in his opinion, the Johnson-Joffries fight would be a repetition of the Sullivan-Corbett battle in 1892. "I guess," said Flanagan, "that outwardly Joffries will look good to the eye, but underneath I unbust very much if he will ever gain the splendid vitality that was his. The shadow of Joffries is here today; the substance is gone. He is not the man he was. "Even if Joffries was as good today as he ever was in his life, I do not think he would or could beat Johnson. I have trained all sorts of athletes in my time, and I have yet to look on a man that approaches Johnson's physical perfection. He rests off 12 to 14 miles on the roads near the beach each morning, and he comes back in better condition than many of the marathon runners that I have trained. REAL WORK NEAR AT HAND. "What do you think of a man who can work an hour and a half in the gymnasium and show practically no signs of fatigue?" asked Flanagan. "Now I have seen Johnson do this very thing. And let me tell you, Jack really worked. It was not play. He works like a demon. "I will start Jack on his real work Monday week," continued Flanagan. "Up to date I have not sent him along as hard as I could. I believe that with the tapering he now has had that two weeks of real work will put him in the ring in the very best form. I light itself I do not look to go more than twenty rounds. Johnson is hitting too hard now for any man to go more than twenty rounds with him. When Jack sights Jim it will be a flight from the tap of the going. I know that they have never seen Johnson as it at top speed, but he will go after Jeffries from the first gong, and he will knock him out in a punch if he can do so." JEFF IN GREAT SPIRITS NOW Method of Work Seems to Have Beneficial Effect on Him. Ben Lomond Cal June 11 - Jim Jeffries sent the day in Big Basin, where the trout are larger than those near Ben Lomond. He did not return to camp until after sunset, having left early in the morning Trainer Cornell said that Jeffries alternate days of rest are affording him the best possible training. "When he takes a day off for a fishing trip we know it is doing him more good than harm" Cornell said. "He could rest a week without retrograding physically Jeffries needs only light work from now on and the more rest he takes the better chance we have of keeping him on edge" Guests at the hotel have commented upon Jeffries' improved spirits. He plays with the children when the little folks happen near and even the saddest looking mongrel dog does not get by the big fellow without a patting or a friendly call This change has come over the fighter only in the last ten days, and is looked upon as an encouraging sign by those who are handling him A boxing bout with Corbett is on the program for tomorrow ASKS ABOUT JOHNSON Jeffries Inquires as to Champion's Condition. BY C. E. VAN LOAN Joffries' Training Camp, Roward dennan, Cal, June 14 The moods of James J. Joffries are as changeable as the winds of spring On that account in the more than two months of his spring training session for the Fourth of July match who has never adhered to any sort of a regular program of daily work. It was officially announced on Monday that Joffries would box every day for ten days or two weeks, and the big follow-dressed himself that he would often box twice a day. The program was carried through with a zip yesterday but expectations went by the board today for Jeff never so much as looked at a glove and did not decide to do gymnastium work of any sort until late in the afternoon. Then he whanged the punching bag for a quarter or an hour and played handball with Jim Corbett. Jeffries said this morning that he never felt better in his life, and he seemed to be full of ginger and fire as for the past couple of weeks but it seems that just when he feels best he decides to lay off for fear of doing too much and losing his free spirits. This, at least is the way Trainee Roger Cornell explained today a light schedule of work and lack of work in the sparring ring. And Cornell seems to have hit the nail on the WORKS AS HE FEELS "That is the only way I can work" says Jeffries. I have to go entirely according to the way I feel if I feel like work in the gymnasium I go to work but if I don't feel like it I let the work go to thunder and take my trout pole down to the river or lead around the cottage with my friends. Probably I have offended a good many people because I refused to work when I was not in a mood for it, but, much as I would like to please the public all the time, I have a greater responsibility, and that is to put myself in the best position for the Fourth of July. I must think of that first, last, and all the time, even though I might disappoint half a hundred people when I felt that work was not the best thing for me." Jeffries displayed almost his first active interest in the progress of Jack Johnson's training today when Dick Adams returned after having taken a critical look at the black fighter in his training quarter. Jeffries had noticed in the papers accounts of Adams' visit and conversational duel with Johnson. After he had greeted his old pal to day, Jim inquired. "How does Johnson look? Does he appear to be in good condition?" PLANNING TO TIRE JEFF "Yes, I was surprised, Jim," answered Dick, "to find him in such good shape. These stories about his being fat and understrained are wrong, according to my judgment. Johnson is big and powerful, and will be in wonderful condition for the fight." "All right: I'm glad to hear it," was Jeff's laconic reply. Adams admitted today that his opinion of Johnson had risen considerably. "Johnson is undoubtedly a strong and powerful fighter," said Adams, whose close study of Jeff throughout his entire training season has given him a rare chance to compare the two heavyweights. "He is a good deal better than I thought. I had been looking for a short fight, but not now after seeing Johnson box and noting his style of fighting. I think his drawing out a lead and then rushing into a clench shows that Johnson is planning to draw the fight out and win if he can by bring Jeff out, figuring that Jeff's long retirement will toll on him after twenty or more rounds. My opinion of Johnson has been raised, but I am still hunting for a big chunk of Johnson money at 10 to 7." REAL WORK FOR JOHNSON San Francisco June 14 -- After the day's outing Jack Johnson enjoyed yesterday he got down to real work today. He was on the road for the usual 12 miles in the morning, and although it had not been his intention to box in the afternoon, he sparred four rounds with Al Kauffman. The work was not strenuous, however, as the champion evidently held himself in. "Why should I box hard?" he said "I am in condition and practically down to weight I weigh only 212 pounds, and as I will be boxing every day, I don't want too much exercising just now. According to Tom Flansagan, Johnson will continue his roadwork to within a week of the fight. It was learned today that Marty Cutter, one of the sparring partners, had left camp without warning. Ever since Cutter was knocked out by Johnson as a matter of discipline he had nursed a grudge, and his departure was no surprise to the camp Tad Says Frisco Sports Wake Up to the Fact That Fake Would be Almost Impossible. San Francisco Cal., June 14 ... Frisco sports have given up the idea of this big night being a phony. The great East, however, was tasting take when I left, out out here they have passed that, and are now try- ing to find the weak spots of both men and talk about them. Jim Cotrota says that the take idea is the most famous in the world. In the first place, says Jim think of the money they would have to hand Johnson to do a Brodie? He wins his cut is $700, and think of the money he would get out of the pictures and the show business IT WOULD LEAK OUT Why would they have to skip him $20000 at least wouldn't they? Now in the second place they would have to have a third party to hold this money would they $20000 would be forced to send in $20000 as forfeit to fulfill his end of the contract and there would be a battle deciding who should hold the stake. We will say for the sake of argument that they could decide upon a third party as stakeholder, and give him all this money. It is only natural that he would tell some friend of his that the thing was crooked not that! His friend would have to pass away before four hours and pass away first. Prison would be Jerry Robles to the deal wouldn't they? Suppose then that the stakeholder blow the town with the dough. We would all say that he was as good as the dirty foxing fighters would we. And who would be the loser in the end. Johnson and Jeff will fight on the level theres no way out of that. Both have trained hard and will be standing on the 4th of next month and I really believe that it is going to be a great fight. I don't look for a quick ending. I don't know what Jeffries thinks but I guess that fifteen will see the finish. BIG ORDERS FOR SEATS The orders for seats for the big fight make a hit with Jack Gleason. Not only the rum town newspaper demand as many as the big dailies but the politicians from the saxophonists are horning in how to orders, telling of their drag with both the President and the Governor. If all moths were seated there would be no room at all for the regulars who send in with the gift stuff. An in dianapolls not wrote in to Gleason and Rickard today saving that if they dared hold the big fight he would be here with a bomb and wreck the place. The promoters have eight watchmen at the arena now patrolling the block day and night Rickard figures that it will cost them over $1,000 for watchmen from now until the Fourth A certain big ticket speculator offered the promoters $75,000 for 10,000 of the $5 seats today but was turned down cold. It is the intention of Gleason and Rickard to keep the tickets out of the hands of the speculators and none of the cheaper seats will be sold until the day of the contest. The arena is being built so that within the space of two hours any number of seats can be added Gleason says that it will be just like a big circus, and that if they see that the crowd is to be over the expectations he can throw up 10,000 more. Attorney General, Webb, who will be up for re-election here soon, 'is to be quizzed by a bunch of anti-fight rooters on Wednesday, and they are sort up in the air about it here. Jeff Like Oak Tree. Rowardennan. Cal. June 14 — Monday's long and fast work with the gloves is only the beginning of a two weeks' term of sparring.

When a Boat Became a Pulpit—Vs 1-3a. When was this parable spoken? The "same day,"—a day of which we have a conspicuously full record, when Jesus healed the blind and dumb demoniac (Matt 12 22:45) and had a discussion with some scribes from Jerusalem. When his mother and brothers sought him (Matt 12 46:50), he proclaimed his disciples as his kindred. Then leaving the house, he went on to the seashore, and there spoke a series of seven parables Who made up Christ's audience? "Great multitudes "out of every city," as Luke says. Christ had been teaching and healing in all their cities (Luke 8:11 and hundreds must have followed the great rabbi and miracle worker, to see more wonders or to gain new blessings for themselves or their dear ones. What was Christ a pulpit? The crowd was so great that, in order to gain a vantage ground whence he could be seen and heard, our Lord entered a boat. What was Christ's sermon "He spoke many things unto them in parables" These seven parables (Mark adds an eighth 'are a great whole, setting forth the mystery of the kingdom' in its methods of establishment, its corruption, its outward and inward growth, the conditions of entrance into it, and its final purification" -Alexander Macleen The first parable is fittingly an illustration of how the kingdom gets a foothold -or falls to in human hearts and lives through good and bad listening It is less the parable of the sower than the parable of the ground" that is offered to the sower Four Kinds of Ground -Vs 3b-9 What scene had Christ in mind as the basis of the parable" 'A sower went forth to sow' What is the first kind of ground on which the seed fell? 'The way side for graindields in Palestine are abdomen fenced and both pedestrina and beasts of burden use freely the narrow paths intersecting them. The ground, of course is beaten hard and the seed that falls there remains conspicuously on the surface. What is the second kind of ground? 'Stony places where they had not much earth. What is the third kind of ground? "Some fell among thorns. How did the seed fare in that soil?" "The thorns sprang up and choked them." What is the fourth kind of ground? "Good ground, rich responsive and permanently predictive. Of course, most of the seed fell upon such soil. How did the seed fare in this ground?"

"The word of the kingdom whatever utterance or act has to do with the coming of the kingdom of heaven on earth. What is the soil? It is the heart of man, which responds to the truth in many ways.

All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XVL HOW IT WELLS TO BE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD—THIRD TO EUROPE. IT'S great to be a world's champion. When I went back to my dressing room, leaving Fitzsimon. moms behind me in the ring, still dazed, I felt as if I was walking on air. The crowd was surging over the seats and into the aisle to shake my hand as I hustled by Delaney and Ryan and Jack and the rest put their shoulders together to make way for me. Once inside, we locked the door and shook hands all around. I can still remember just how parched my throat was. I called for something to drink, and Billy handed me a quart bottle of wine. I up ended the bottle and emptied it at one gulp. Then, after getting rubbed down and dressed, we slipped through the waiting crowd and went back to New York where I spent part of the night at Everard's Turkish baths and the rest at the Vanderbilt hotel, my old hangout. It was fine to hear everybody cheering and all that, but the best thing of all came a few hours later when a boy brought a telegram from my mother it road. Am glad you are in the history you have been working for MOTHER. My father, wired wishing me good luck and sending me his blessing There were telegrams by the hundred NOW EVERYBODY WAS SLAPPING ME ON THE BACK. from my old friends in California, of course. One I remember, was from a friend of mine in San Antonio, George Lindenfield. He wired "Hurrah! They can't beat Yosemite big trees or Big Jim." Thinking that fight over today, I don't know how I could have handled my end of it better. I was cautious all the way, always stood up to Fitzsimmons where he could punch at me, but never lost my head either when he was rustling me hardest or when I had him going. I had planned to use my couth in a way that would puzzle him and make it hard to reach either my cith or my stomach, and I didn't change my plans in the ring. I had planned to beat him down with body punches as he rushed at me, and I carried that through the fight. The body punches gapped Fitzsimmons' strength. My condition could hardly have been better, although I believe I was drawn a little too fine and might have felt it if the fight had gone much longer. I had an idea then a fighter should have thin legs just because Corbett and Fitzsimmon had thin legs. So in training I am my legs nearly off on the road. They were thin. I was too fine, I think, for I weighed less than ever before or since in the ring. I scaled only 204 pounds stripped. Aft erward I made up my mind never to get so low again; and I found that with more of my natural weight on I had more speed and strength Fitzsimmon, I judge, must have weighed about 170 pounds. Just before the fight Julian wanted to announce Bob's weight as 168 pounds, because he still claimed the middle-weight as well as the heavyweight championship. Brady told Julian that they did that bed have my weight announced as 147 pounds and they backed down. It's funny how success changes a follow's views of things. When the reporters hooked around me after the fight I told them that I lifted the cast and intended to stay around New York a good part of my time and go on fighting there. It was a little different from the way I felt after the fight with Armstrong. But everybody was mastiging me then, and now everybody was slapping me on the back and making me feel at home. And here's another funny thing. Billy Brady was so sure I'd win that he be had ordered a stack of big posters. announcing "James J. Jeffries, Champion of the World," to use on the road right after the fight. He was gambling, of course. They wouldn't have been worth a nickel if I had lost. was with me again, and Ryan as well as Ernest Roober, the wrestler, who was a good man to rough around with. We had long runs, hard handball games and plenty of rough work. The The night after the fight I was to box an exhibition with Jim Daly at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. I barely showed a mark from the battle with Flissimmons. My knuckles were swollen a little from pounding him, and there was a small strip of pletter on my eyebrow, but the cut there didn't amount to anything. My shoulders were stiff from the work I had done. I dept until 10 o'clock in the morning before starting for Phila delphia and felt it to fight again that night. Grover Cleveland was on the same train when I boarded with my brother Jack, Billy Detaney Billy Brady and Tommy Ryan, but I guess the ex president didn't see so much as a porter that day. Everybody connected with the railroad was in my car At Jersey City, after crossing the Twenty third street ferry there was such a rush from the crowd that they had to send me up a freight elevator at the depot to get away. I was getting my first taste of real popularity It was amusing at first. After awhile, I'll have to admit, I got awfully tired of it. Those were busy days for the new champion. The day after showing in Philadelphia I unpired a ball game at Paterson Monday night I went to see hander and Walsh dight at Coney Island Tuesday night I was in Boston Wednesday I split up between Hartford and Providence. Thursday night I showed in Buffalo Friday afternoon I was billed at Rochester, Friday night at Syrus use and on Saturday I appeared again at Coney Island. After that I went westward, showing at the large cities along the route. Before going west however, I had a pleasant experience. Admiral Dewey was lying in the Hudson river with his boat ahead his shipage the Olympia. Somebody suggested that the world a greatest righthand oighth to pay his respects to the world a greatest sea fighter. I was more than anxious to see. Dewey for I always had a great admiration for the man who sailed into Manila bay at night over the torpedoes and saimmed the daylights out of the Spanish fleet lying at another shore. So I went aboard in state. The admiral had me brought down to his cabin and congratulated me on winning the championship. I told him that my punch wasn't a circumstance beside his, and he laughed like a good follow. Then we had a little talk, and as I went over the side again he wished me luck in the future. I guess it was a good wish, for the luck has surely stuck to me. On the 25th of July, a month and a half or so after heating Fitzsimons I went to England. Billy Brady and my brother Jack were with me it was my first long trip away from my own country. We had twenty two days of show work in England and then Scotland and Ireland. I worked eleven days in Paris and had seven more in around in and see the town. A great town Park but I think I liked it bet for years afterward on my second trip. My first experience in London was at the Royal aquarium Brady had posters out everywhere and the newspapers all sent me to see me. They asked me all sorts of questions, but I didn't feel like talking very much, so they filled their columns with descriptions of how I looked and what I wore and what I ate. They were more in terrestrial in what I ate than anything else. One writer asked me if I ate raw beef. The old time English fighters used to eat raw meat because they thought it made them more ferocious. All English horses duck They liked the way I handled a straight left too. As long as you stick out your left every few seconds and keep your head bobbing you can get away with it in England. In one round Jack and I jumped at each other and slugged all over the stage, and then the English cheered their heads off. They kept calling us out again and again until I got tired. A few days later it was announced that I'd meet all corners. The first man sent up against me was George Cripp of Newcastle. George explained that he "jolly well knew what chance he had, but he needed the money." He didn't put up much of a fight, so after two rounds I called Jack in and finished the bout with him to make it more interesting. The next English fighter I met was Arthur Morris. Arthur was a stonemason. They'd told terrible stories about his strength. Morris wrapped his head in his arms and backed away several times when I fainted. At last I dropped my hands, not wanting to punch a man who was afraid to fight and all of a sudden he unwrapped himself and made a whimsy swing at my jaw. He was trying to sneak one over. I pulled my right into his body. He doubled up like a jackknife and fell into a clench. I pulled his hands down and threw him against the ropes. He bounced off and made a couple of wild swings. I gave him a good left in the rips that lifted him through the ropes and dropped him on his back outside. I brought Jack in to fight a couple of rounds and give the crowd a run for its money. After seeing enough of England we went over to Paris. The Frenchmen didn't know anything about boxing at that time. I was a kind of freak. When I landed a good punch on Jack or Jack landed one on me the frog enters rolled their eyes nearly out of their heads, and you could bear squeaks all over the house. They thought we were killing each other it was a great joke to us. CHAPTER XVII I OKEY DECISION OVER SHARKEY AND TRAIN TO MKEK CONFORT It was less than five months after wiping the championship that I gave Tom Sharkey his chance, just as I had promised. To prepare for the fight I went to my old quarters where the training was done for the battle with Fizzimmons. Jack was with me again, and Ryan as well as Ernest Roobar, the wrestler, who was a good man to rough around with. We had long runs, hard handball games and plenty of rough work. The big international yacht races were on, and we could watch Columbia and Shamrock from the shore near our camp. More English fighters were trailing near us, and we put up some not arguments about the yachts. The only thing that prevented trouble was that in our camp we were all heavyweights and the Englishmen were little follows. So we only had a lot of fun stringing them. The date originally set for the match was Oct. 27, but in throwing the eight pound medicine ball with Roeber I had the misfortune to strain my left elbow badly I missed the ball and it struck my forearm. The strain didn't amount to anything at first, but soon the elbow became so sore that I had to cut out boxing entirely and get a doctor. It was not until Oct. 23 that I could take the handages off and pick up my regular training work again. Sharkey meanwhile was training hard at New Dorp, Staten Island, and reports said that he was in the finest shape of his life. That was a light to be remembered. Over the ring of the Coney Island Athletic club was an arrangement of electric lights for the moving pictures, so many of them that the beat thrown down on the ring was like a blast from a furnace. Siler was referee again. The moment the fight began I dropped into my crouch and walked toward Tom, jabbing him lightly. He rushed with a wild swing. We clenched, and Tom throw me off with a heave to show how strong he was. I was boxing carefully, encouraging Sharkey's leads and hooking them without much trouble. In the second round I pumped a right hander into his rips, and he went down for an eight second count I thought it would soon be all over but there never was a greater mistake. He jumped up and fumed at me so hard that when I sidestepped he fell on his hands and knees. I up heaped and faded a swing on my rips that would have broken a lighter man in two. I only laughed at him and met his next rush with a tight under the heart that beat his rips in. It was the toughest kind of fighting Sharkley was furious. He never seemed to tide. When I drove my right fist against his rits his mouth opened and he gasped but a tenth of a second later he'd be jumping at me again like a building消防 for a threat hold. He was so anxious that three or four SHARKEY SWUNG ON MY JAW AS HARD AS HE COULD times he awing on me after the gong at the end of the round. He didn' mean to foul me. He was too full of fight to hold in Along in the eighth round from saving one into my ribs that made me double up for a moment and drove the breath out of me so hard that it made me grunt. He kept rushing and jumping in on me all the time although he was getting a force beating about the body. I had given up the idea of knocking Sharkey out in short order now and was fighting cautiously. The heat from the lights was terrible. It was worse than noon in the desert. All around the ring men had taken off their coats and collars and rolled up their shirt sleeves. The sweat rolled off Sharkey and myself in streams. When I landed on him the gloves slipped as if he was grasped. Above about the fifteenth Sharkey landed a right on my nose that flat tened it and made me bleed hard. He started another. This time I hooked him on the jaw and staggered him. In the nineteenth round we both tried hard for a knockout. Sharkey landed his left wrist like a club on my neck and nearly lifted my head off. I retaliated by swinging my right on his ear so that it bulged up and began bleeding. As we came within a couple of rounds of the finish Billy Brady begged me to rush and try for a knockout. It was a close fight. In the twenty fourth I told Tom tuttering after a punch on the chin. He climched and hung on desperately and stalled the round out backing away from me at most for the first time in the fight. The twenty fifth and last round was a terror. We stepped up and shook hands, and then Tom was at me with another rush. I threw up my left arm and shipped my right into his ribs, and he gasped with mouth wide open. I landed on his chin with my right hard enough to knock any ordinary man cat for half an hour. Tom fell in on me and clenched. He held on a long time. At last I pulled his arms down and shoved him away. Then I went in as hard as I could for a knockout. The first punch hurled Sharkey nearly through the ropes. He bounced back and caught my left wrist under his arm and hold tight. I punched him with the right, and he went down, pulling my left glove off as he fell. He was up in a moment. Meanwhile I had backed away and waved my barn hand to Referee Biller, who stepped in and tried to put the glove on. Sharkey ran in. Biller shouted to him to keep off and pushed him back. Time was flying fast, and Diller could not get the glute untiled to pull it on my fist. Tom couldn't stand the suspense. He dodged around Filler and jumped at one. I wased my hand at him and then, seeing that he wouldn't --- knights of Pythias, This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal.

And then the bell rang. Tom took one more swing at me after the bell for good measure and walked to his corner. Silver gave me the devilation. It was a very close thing at that. Sharkey had fought aggressively all the way, but many of his swings were wild, while my blows seldom missed the mark. I came through the light very little damaged, while Sharkey, with his broken ribs and battered body, never reached the same one fighting trim again and after being beaten by Rubin and Fitzsimmons retired from the ring. I take off my hat to Tom Sharkey. He was as game a man as I ever saw in a ring. Jim Corbett wanted a chance to win back his old title and so I gave it to him. We were matched to fight twenty rounds at Coney Island on the night of May 11. In taking on 'Corbett I was just keeping to my program. Long before I beat Fitzsimons I made up my mind that if I were ever champion I'd defend my title whenever a good man came along and challenged me if any one cared to offer a purse. Every champion ought to do this or retire from the game. The public wanted to see me fight Corbett. I'd shown that I could beat a scientific puncher like Fitzsimons and a tough fighter like Sharkey. Now they wanted to see I could do anything with a fighting fast hitter who wouldn't sing with me like the other two. The fight fans thought Jim was a back number but they were satisfied to see what kind of a showing he could make as long as he insisted. Corbett didn't go to places like other champions after being beaten at carson. He took a pretty good care of him self. He had one light with Sharkey since then and had on a foul when Connie McKey jumped into the ring. But that didn't make the faux forget what a great boxer he was. As soon as the match was made Jim went down to Lakewood and started training. Ten weeks before our fight he sent for Gus Ruhlin, and during this last ten weeks of training he and Gus fought every day just as bart as if they were in the ring. Corbett had a notion that bed have to fight for his life against me and that real fighting was the best work to get him back into the old shape. He was about right too. While Corbett' was working hard I did more or less traveling around. A little over a month before our fight a big fellow named Jack Finnegan stood up to me in Detroit and took the count in less than a round. No class to that fight. When I was through with Finnegan I blinked back to New York and in a few days was hard at work in the same old training quarters where I had prepared for the fight with Flatsimons. It seemed good to get back to real work again. My brother Jack was with me and all of the old training staff except Delaney Words and Deeds.

Onion Growing The onion thrives best in a cool, moist soil which is easily kept in a mellow condition. Such soils are con- fined mostly to river bottom, and they contain more vegetable matter and sand than is commonly found in upland soils. Large amounts of de- cayed vegetable matter seem to be essential in the heat development of this crop. Heavy soils are not suitable for onion growing, for the reason that it is difficult to make a good bed, and the surface is likely to bake and crack, much to the injury of the young plants. It is difficult to get a uniform growth of onions on such soils. # , Jr., Street. THE ECONOMY, 303-5 North Third St FINE TAILORING CLEANING, DYING ANI REPAIRING CHITMAN M. WHITE, PROPRIETOR.

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD STREETS SATURDAY.....JUNE 18, 1910. PROPER METHOD OF PRUNING Lack of Knowledge on Subject is Cause of Many Valuable Trees Being Totally Ruined. (BY S. C. MILLER) An inexperienced man with an ax and a hand saw can do more harm in an orchard in one day than can be repaired in ten years' growth, therefore Pruned With an Ax. we urge owners of orchards to employ competent men to teach them how to prune, study the best methods as found in the books, or let them alone. We present three examples of bad pruning in the pictures with this article which are taken from an excellent bulletin issued by the Indiana experiment station. For the cleaning of the old orchard where many large limbs are to be removed, winter is perhaps the best time to prune, but the cutting out of sprouts and shaping up trees that have been fairly well taken care of, spring, summer or fall are all equally reasonable. Never use an ax. An example of pruning with an ax is shown in one Inexcusable Mutilation. of the pictures. Always use a saw for large limbs first making a cut on the under side and then sawing down to it from the upper side in order that the stub will not split. Saw the limb as close to the tree as possible and not at right angles, but sloping. Some orchardists are so particular that they go to the trouble of smoothing off very large cuts with a jack plane before painting over or waxing, in order that there shall be no rough surfaces into which water can soak, and thus cause rot. For small branches good pruning shears and different styles of pruning saws can be had of any hardware dealer. If your orchard is planted too close, so that after pruning sunlight cannot reach all parts of the tree do not hesitate to cut out every other one if necessary. Apple trees should never be less than 30 feet apart each way. First, cut all of the dead wood in the orchard, then snip off all of the suckers, both at the roots of the tree and on the limbs. These do not bear fruit, but only suck the life of the tree and prevent the fruit from maturing properly. If the trees have been allowed to grow tall and compactly cut in some of the largest branches leaving those Stub Too Long to Heal Over that shoot outward, always working with a view of making the tree large laterally instead of allowing it to grow tall. Never permit branches to twist or twine in with one another, or cross or rub against each other. Open out the tree top by removing the surplus branches in order to allow the sun- light to reach all parts of the tree. Lake Superior Stretches Far.

MUST HAVE MUCH ATTENTION White Hair, to Appear at its Best, Requires Careful Handling and Constant Care. White hair, like white gowns, needs careful handling or it soon is ugly, and ill-kept looking Brushes and combs should be washed every day or so. A dusty brush makes white hair dull. As this hair is more brittle than any other, it must not be roughly handled. Do not tug or pull at it with a comb, and do not use too drying washes or dry with too much heat. Ordinary shampoo mixtures are apt to make white hair streaky. The best for it is made from the white of two eggs mixed lightly with a tablespoonful of warm water. Rub mixture well into scalp, parting hair in strands and also washing long hair Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then cold. Either spring or filtered water should be used on white hair Many tonics used with good effect even on golden hair are not suitable for white-haired women. If carefully applied crude oil can be used occasionally or a little white vaseline may be rubbed into the scalp. In using any grease keep it off long hair, as it acts as a dust collector and dulls the luster of hair. White hair to be lovely must have a silvery tint. When the hair is at popper and salt stage it can sometimes be made white quickly by intelligent treatment by a professional. Sh-mooing the hair with lemon is excellent for white hair. Put half the cut lemon in a thin mualin cloth, and rub over scalp, which has first been thoroughly wet. The white-headed woman should not be careless of her hairdressing. Her hair should be loosely waved and worn elaborately irrespective of styles of the moment. MONOGRAM EMBROIDERY. This is a specially distinct monogram suitable for marking house linen. The"G" is entirely in satin stitch, the "K" is also in satin stitch, partly outlined with fine cording stitch, the little curl at the lower part being in the cording To transfer to material to be marked, make a tracing of monogram, then rub the back with a soft black lead pencil place the black, side down on the material, pin together to keep firm; then go over the outline with a hard pencil, a clear transfer of the letters should then be formed on the material. Town "Made" by Novel. Works of fiction have exercised a wonderful influence in the popularization of certain localities. A typical example is "Westward Ho!" named after a sleepy village in Devon, England. The success of the novel sent thousands of people flocking to the town, and its prosperity was from that time assured How to Give Advice A man takes contradiction and advice much more easily than people think, only he will not heat it when violently given, even though it be well founded.

The Man in Lower Ten By Mary Roberts Rinehart Author of The Circular Staircase Illustrations by M. J. KETTHER (Copyright, by Robbs-Merrill CA) (Continued from Second Page.) "that Mr Andrew Bronson followed you to your rooms last Monday evening" Stuart looked at us and flushed "No, I don't deny it." he said, "but there was nothing criminal about it. on my part, at least Mr Bronson has been trying to induce me to secure the forged notes for him. But I did not even know where they were" "And you were not on the wrecked Washington Filter" persisted Hotchkiss But McKnight interfered "There is no use trying to put the other man's identity on Stuart, Mr Hotchkiss, he protested. "He has been our confidential clerk for six years, and has not been away from the office a day for a year. I am afraid that the beautiful fabric we have placed out of all these scraps is going to be a crazy guilt." His tone was facetious, but I could detect the undercurrent of real disappointment. I paid the constable for his trouble, and he departed Stuart, still indigent left to be go back to Washington Circle. He shook hands with Me Knight and myself magnanimously, but he hurled a look of hatred at Hotchkiss sunk crestfallen in his chair. "As for as I can see," said Me Knight dryly, "we are exactly as far along as we were the day we met at the Carter place. We were not a step nearer to finding our man." We have one thing that may be of value. I suggested "He is the husband of a bronze-haired woman at Van Kirk's hospital and it is just possible we may trace him through her I hope we are not going to lose your valuable cooperation Mr Hotchkiss" I asked He roused at that to feeble interest "I—oh of course not if you still care to have me I—I was wondering about—the man who just wont out Stuart, you say" I told his landlady tonight that he couldn't need the room again I hope she hasn't rented it somebody else We cheered him as host we could and I suggested that we go to Bantt more the next day and try to find the real Sullivan through his wife He left sometime after midnight, and Kelsey and I were alone He drew a chair near the lamp and lighted a cigarette, and for a time we were silent. I was in the shadow, and I sat back and watched him. It was not surprising I thought, that she cared for him women had always loved him, perhaps because he always loved them. There was no disloyalty in the thought. it was the lad's nature to give and crave affection. Only—I was different. I had never really cared about a girl before, and my life had been singularly loveless. I had fought a lonely battle always. Gone before, in college, we had both laid ourselves and our cowl devotions at the feet of the same girl. Her name was Dorothy—I had forgotten the rest—but I remembered the sequel in a spirit of quixotic youth I had relinquished my claim in favor of Richoy and had gone cheerfully on my way, elevated by my heroic sacrifice to a somber, white-hot martyrdom As is often the case, McKnight's first words showed our parallel lines of thought. "I say, Lollie," he asked, "do you remember Dorothy Browne? Brow-nel! That was it!" "Dorothy Browne" I repeated "Oh" "Dorothy Browne" —why yes, I recall her now Why?" "Nothing," he said. I was thinking about her. That's all You remember you were crazy about her, and dropped back because she preferred me" "I got out," I said with dignity "because you declared you would shoot yourself if she didn't go with you to something or other" "Oh, why yes, I recall now!" he mimicked He tossed his cigarette in the general direction of the heart and got up. We were both a little conscious, and he stood with his back to me, fingering a Japanese vase on the mantel "I was thinking" he began, turning the vase around, "that, if you feel pretty well again, and—and ready to take hold, that I should like to go away for a week or so. Things are fairly well cleaned up at the office" "Do you mean--you are going to Richmond?" I asked, after a scarcely perceptible pause. He turned and faced me, with his hands thrust in his pockets. "No That's off. Lolli. The Seibets are going for a week's cruises along the coast. —I the hot weather has played bob with me and the cruise means seven days' breeze and bridge." I lighted a cigarette and offered him the box, but he refused. He was looking haggard and suddenly tired. I could not think of anything to say, and neither could he, evidently. The matter between us lay too deep for speech. "How's Candida?" he asked. "Martin says a month, and she will be all right." I returned, in the same tone. He picked up his hat, but he had something more to say. He blurted it out, finally, half way to the door. "The Belteris are not going for a couple of days," he said, "and if you want a day or no off to go down to Richmond yourself." "Perhaps I shall," I returned, as indifferently as I could "Not going yet, are you?" "Yes. It is late." He drew in his breath as if he had something more to say, but the impulse passed. "Well, good night," he said from the doorway. "Good night, old man." The next moment the outer door slammed and I heard the engine of the Cannonball throbbing in the street. Then the quiet settled down around me again, and there in the amplight I dreamed dreams. I was going to see her. Buddenly the idea of being shut away even temporarily, from so great and wonderful a world became intolerable. The possibility of arrest before I could get to Richmond was hideous, the night without end. I made my escape the next morning through the stable back of the house and then, by devious dark and "They're Here." He Said. winding ways, to the office. There, after a conference with Blobs, whose features fairly jerked with excitement I double-locked the door of my private office and finished off some imperative work. By ten o'clock I was free and for the twentieth time I consulted my train schedule. At five minutes after ten, with McKnight not yet in sight Blobs knocked at the door, the double rap we had agreed upon, and on being admitted slipped in and quietly closed the door behind him. His eyes were glistening with excitement, and a purple dab of typewriter ink gave him a peculiarly villainous and stealthy expression. two of em and that crazy) Stuart was not on, and said you were some wine in the building. A door opened outside followed by steps on the uncarpeted outer of fice. "This way," said Blobe in a bushy undertone and, darting into a lavatory, threw open a door that I had always supposed locked. Thence into a back hall piled high with boxes and past the presses of a bookbindery to the freight elevator Greatly to Blobe disappointment, there was no pursuit. I was exhilarated but out of breath when we emerged into an alleyway and the sharp daylight shot on Blobs excited face "Great sport, isn't it?" I panted, dropping a dollar into his palm linked to correspond with his face. Regular walkaway in the hundred yard dash Gimine two dollars more and I'll drop 'em down the elevator shaft, he suggested ferociously. I left him there with his blood thirsty schemes, and started for the station. I had a tendency to look behind me now and then, but I reached the station unnoticed. The afternoon was hot, the train rolled slowly along stopping to pant at sweltering stations from whose roofs the heat rose in waves. But I noticed these things objectively not subjectively for at the end of the journey was a girl with blue eyes and dark brown hair hair that could—had I not seen it—hang loose in bewitching tangles or be twisted into little coils of delight CHAPTER XXVII. The Bea, the Sand, the Stars The Sea, the Sand, the Stars. I telephoned as soon as I reached my hotel, and I had not known how much I had hoped from seeing her until I learned that she was out of town I hung up the receiver almost dizzy with disappointment and it was fully five minutes before I thought of calling up again and asking if she was within telephone reach. It seemed she was down on the bay staying with the Saraj Fortress (Saanm) Forbes. It was a name to conjure with just then. In the old days at college I had rather flouted him but now I was ready to take him to my heart. I remembered that he had always meant well, anyhow and that he was extremely generous. I called him up. "By the fame of gasoline" he said when I told him who I was. Blakeley, the Fount of Wisdom against Woman. Blakey the Great Unliked. Welcome to our city." Whereupon he proceeded, to urge me to come down to the Black, and to say that I was an agreeable surprise because four times in two hours youths had called up to ask it Alison West was stopping with him, and to suggest that they had a vacant day or two "Oh—Mrs West! I shouted politely. There was a buzzing on the line "Is she there" Bam had no suspicions. Was not I in his mind always the Great Unkissed"—which sounds like the Great Unwashed and is even more of a reproach. He asked me down promptly as I had hoped, and thrust aside my objectless. "Nonsense," he said. "Bring yourself. The lady that keeps my boarding-house is calling to me to injust You remember Dorothy, don't you, Dorothy Brown? She says unless you have lost your figure you can wear my clothes all right. All you need here is a battling suit for daytime and a dinner coat for evening." "I sounds cool," I tempered. "If you are sure I won't put you out-vary well. Sam, since you and your wife are好 enough," I have couple, of days free. Give my love to Dorothy until I can do it myself" Sam met me himself and drove me out to the Shack, which proved to be a substantial house overlooking the water. On the way he confided to me that lots of married men thought they were contented when they were merely resigned, but that it was the only life, and that Sam Junior, could swim like a duck. Incidentally he said that Alison was his wife's cousin, their repective grandmothers having, at proper intervals married the same man and that Alison would look her good looks if she was not careful. I say she's worried and I stick to it he said as he threw the lines to a groom and prepared to get out. You know her and she's the kind of girl you think you can read like a book. But you can't foul your self. Take a good look at her at dinner Blake you won't lose your head like the other fellows—and then tell me what's wrong with her. We're mighty fond of Allie. He went ponderously up the steps, for Sam had put on weight since I knew him. At the door he turned around "Do you happen to know the MacLure's at Seal Harbor" he asked irrelevantly but Mrs Sam came into the hall just then, both hands out to greet me and whatever Forbes had meant to say, he did not pick up the subject again "We are having tea in here," Dorothy said gaily indicating the door behind her "Tea by courtesy, because I think tea is the only beverage that isn't represented. And then we must dress, for this is hop night at the club" Which is as great a misnomer as the tea" Sam put in ponderously struggling out of his linen driving coat "It's bridge night, and the only hops are in the beer" He was still gurgling over this as he took me upstairs. He showed me my room himself and then began the frustless search for evening raiment that kept me home that night from the club. For I couldn't wear Sam's clothes. That was clear after a perspiring sense of a half hour. "I won't do it, Sam," I said, when I had draped his dress coat on me toga fashion. "Who am I to have clothing to spure like this when many a poor chap hasn't even a cellar door to cover him. I won't do it, I am selfish, but not that selfish" "Lord, he said, wiping his face, 'how you've kept your figure' I can't wear a belt any more, got to have suspenders." He reflected over his grievance for some time, sitting on the side of the bed "You could go as you are," he said finally "We do it all the time, only to night happens to be the annual something or other, and—" he trailed off into silence trying to buckle my belt around him "A good six inches," he sighed. I never get into a hansom cab any more that I don't expect to see the horse fly up in the air Well, Allie isn't going either She turned down Granger this afternoon, the Annapolis fellow you met on the stairs, pigeon breasted chap—and she always gets a headache on those occasions. He got up heavily and went to the door "Granger is leaving," he said, "I may be able to get his dinner coat for you How well do you know her?" he asked with his hand on the knob. "If you mean Dolly—" "Fairly well," I said cautiously, "Not as well as I would like to dined with her last work in Washington And—I knew her before that" Forbes touched a bell instead of going out, and told the servant who answered to see if Mr Granger's suit case had gone. If not, to bring it across the hall. Then he came back to his former position on the bed "You see, we feel responsible for Aller—near relation and all that," he began pompously. "And we can't talk to the people here at the house—all the men are in love with her, and all the women are jealous. Then—there's a lot of money, too or will be" "Confound the money" I muttered. "That is—nothing Razor allmned." "I can tell you," he went on "because cause you don't lose your head over every pretty face—although Allie is more than that of course. But about a month ago she went away—to Seal Harbor, to visit Janet MacLure Know her?" "No" "She came home to Richmond yesterday, and then came down here—Allie I mean. And yesterday after- Bhe Was Sitting on an Overturned Boat. noon Dolly had a letter from Janet—something about a second man—and saying she was disappointed not to have had Allison there, that she had promised them a two-weeks' visit! What do you make of that? And that isn't the worst. Allie herself wasn't in the room but there were eight other women and because Dolly had put belladonna in her eyes the night before to see how she would look, and as a result couldn't see anything nearer than across the room, some one read the letter aloud to her, and the whole story is out. One of the cots told Granger and the boy proposed to Allie to-day, to show her he did not care a tinker dam where she had been. "Good boy!" I said, with enthug- --- sarm I liked the Granger fellow—since he was out of the running but Sam was looking at me with suspicion "Blake, he said. 'If I didn't know you for what you are, I'd say you were interested there you self. Being so near her under the same roof, with even the tie of a dribleous secret between us was making me heady I pushed Forbes toward the door "I interested!" I retorted holding him by the shoulders. There isn't a word in your vocabulary to fit my condition I am an island in a sunlit sea of emotion Sam a—an empty place surrounded by longing—" "An empty place surrounded by longing" he retorted. You want your dinner that a what the matter with you." I shut the door on him then. He seemed suddenly kordid. Dinner I thought. Although as a matter of fact, I made a very fair meal when, Granger's suit case not having gone, in his cost and some other man's trousers, I was finally fit for the amateurs. Alison did not come down to dinner, so it was clear she would not go over to the clubhouse dance. I pled my injured arm and a flirtious, vaguely located sprain from the wreck, as an excuse for remaining at home. Sam regaled the table with accounts of my distrust of women, my one love affair—with Dorothy, to which I responded, as was expected, that only my failure there had kept me single all these years, and that if Sam should be mysteriously missing during the bathing hour to morrow, and so on. And when the endless meal was over, and yards of white veils had been tied over pounds of hair—or is it, too bought by the yard" and some eight ensembles with their object complements had been packed into three automobiles and a trap. I drew a long breath and faced about. I had just then only one object in life—to find Alison, to assure her of my absolute faith and confidence in her, and to offer my help and my poor self. If she would let me, in her service. She was not easy to find I searched the lower floor, the veranda and the grounds, circumspactly. Then I ran into a little English girl who turned out to be her maid, and who also was searching. She was concerned because her mistress had no dinner, and because the tray of food she carried would soon be cold I took the tray from her, on the glimpse of something white on the shore, and that was how I met the girl again She was sitting on an overturned boat, her chin in her hands, staring out to sea. The soft tide of the bay lapped almost at her feet, and the draperies of her white gown melted hazily into the sands. She looked like a wretch, a dependant phantom of the sea, although the adjective is redundant. Nobody ever thinks of a cheerful phantom Strangely enough, considering her evident sadness, she was whistling softly to herself, over and over, some dreary little minor air that sounded like a Bohemian dirge. She glanced up quickly when I made a misstep and my dishes lingled. All considered the tray was out of the picture, the sea, the misty starlight, the girl, with her beauty—even the sad little whistle that stopped now and then to bravely on again, as though it fought against the odds of a trembling lip. And then I came, accompanied by a tray of little silver dishes that fingled and an unmistakable odor of broiled chicken "Oh' she said quickly, and then, "Oh' I thought you were Jenkins" "Timeo Donaso-what's the rest of it?" I asked tendering my offering. "You didn't have any dinner, you know" I sat down beside her "Soe, I'll be the table. What was the old fairy tale' Little goat bleat, little table appear' I'm perfectly willing to be the goat too" She was laughing rather tremulously "We never do meet like other people. we' she asked "We really ought to shake hands and say how are you" "I don't want to meet you like other people and I suppose you always think of me as wearing the other fellow's clothes' I returned meckly" "I'm doing it again. I don't seem to be able to help it. These are Granger's that I have on now" She threw back her head and laughed again joyfully, this time "Oh, it's so ridiculous," she said, "and you have never seen me when I was not eating." It's too prosocial." "Which reminds me that the chick en is getting cold and the ice warm." I suggested. At the time, I thought there could be no place better than the farm house kitchen—but this is. I ordered all this for something I want to say to you—the sea, the sand, the stars." "How alliterative you are!" she said, trying to be flippant. "You are not to say anything until I have had my supper. Look how the things are spilled around." But she ate nothing after all, and pretty soon I put the tray down in the sand. I said little there was no hurry. We were together and time meant nothing against that age-long wash of the sea. The air blew her hair in small damp curls against her face, and little by little the tide retreated leaving our boat an oasis in a waste of gray sand "If seven mails with seven mops swept it for half a year Do you suppose the wrist said, that they could get it clear? she throw at me once when she must have known I was going to speak. I held her hand and an long as I merely held it she let it lie warm in mine. But when I raised it to my lips, and kissed the soft, open palm, she drew it away without displeasure "Not that, please," she protested, and fell to whistling softly again, her chin in her hands. I can't sing," she said, to break an awkward pause, "and so, when I'm fidgety, or have something on my mind, I whistle. I hope you don't dislike it?" "I love it." I asserted warmly. I did; when she pursed her lips like SEVEN "I saw you—at the station," she said suddenly. "You—you were in a hurry to go." I did not say anything, and after a pause she drew a long breath. "Men are queer, aren't they?" she said, and fell to whistling again. After awhile she sat up as if she had nade a resolution. "I am going to confess something" she announced successively. You said, you know, that you had ordered all this for something you wanted to say to me. But the fact is I fixed it all came here, I mean because—I knew you would care and I had something to tell you. It was such a misrable thing I needed the accessories to help me out. I don't want to hear anything that distresses you to tell. I assured her I didn't come here to force your confidence. Abbison I came because I couldn't help it. She did not object to my use of her name. Have you found the your papers? she asked looking directly at me for all out the first time. Not yet. We hope to. The police have not interfered with you? They haven't had any opportunity." I enquired, "You needn't distress yourself about that, anyhow." "But I do. I wonder why you still believe in me? Nobody else does." I wonder, I repeated, "why I do!" "If you produce Harry Sullivan," she was saying partly to herself, "and if you could connect him with—Mr Brunsen and get a full account of why he was on the train, and all that, it—it would help wouldn't it?" I acknowledged that it would. Now that the whole truss was almost in my possession, I was stricken with the old cowardice. I did not want to know what she might tell me. The yellow line on the horizon, where the moon was coming up, was a broken bit of golden chain my heel in the sand and again pressed on a woman's yielding fingers. I pulled myself together with a jerk. In order that what you tell me may help me if it will, I said con strainedly it would be necessary, perhaps, that you tell it to the police. Since they have found the end of the necklace— "The end of the necklace" she repeated slowly. What about the end of the necklace? I stared at her. Don't you remember—"I leaned forward — the end of the camo necklace, the part that was broken off and was found in the black sealknack bag, stained with—with blood." "Blood," she said dully. You mean that you found the broken end* And then—you had my good pokot book, and you saw the necklace in it, and you—must have thought—" "I didn't think anything," I hastened to assure her. I tell you, Alison. I never thought of anything but that you were unhappy and that I had no right to help you. God knows I thought you didn't want me to help you. She held out her hand to me and I took it between both of mine. No word of love had passed between us, but I felt that she knew and understood. It was one of the moments that come seldom in a lifetime, and then only in great crises a moment of perfect understanding and trust. Then she drew her hand away and sat, erect and determined her fingers laced in her lap. As she talked the moon came up slowly and throw its bright pathway across the water. Back of us, in the trees beyond the son wall a sleepy bird chirped drowsily, and a wave, larger and bolder than its brothers, sped up the sand, bringing the moon's silver to our very feet. I bent toward the girl "I am going to ask just one question" "Anything you like." Her voice was almost dreary. "Was it because of anything you are going to tell me that you refused Richey? She drew her breath in sharply. "No, she said without looking at me. No. That was not the reason." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Conscience It is not history which tea can con- science to be honest. It is the con- science which obliterates history. Fact is corrupting. It is we who correct it by the persistence of our ideal. The soul moralizes the past in order not to be demoralized by it. Like the al- chemists of the middle ages, she finds in the crucible of experience only the gold that she herself has poured into it—Amiel's Journal Georgian's Hard Luck Story. His horse went dead and his mule went lame and he lost six cows in a poker game, then a hurricane came on a summer's day and blew the house where he fired away and the earthquake came when that was gone and swallowed the land that the house was on, then the tax collector came around and charged him up with the hole in the ground - Upson Parrot. Too Much Impressed. A throat specialist in Bethany, according to the Clipper used a laryngoscope on a nervous woman patient and remarked, "You would be surprised to know how far we can see with this instrument." As he was about to place the instrument in her throat she appointed for a hole in her stocking. Atlanta Constitution Moving Oh yesterday was missing day. And things were in a jumble.
