'Can you make Al athlete out Of my

Il can, sir" promptly responded the
sx-prize fighter.

Billy.
Young Lee was entered as a pupil at
once. and remained in tho institution for
some time one day about three months
later the boy came home pretty early,
and his grandfather inquired how he
was getting alsng with his studies
'Oh. pretty fairly, SIR" said the
youngster.
Can you box. eh?'
"A BIT, sir"
Can you give az upper cut, eh?'
Think so, sir"
"An under cut, en-? Now. don't try 70

''Oh. think so. sir"
What about a swing? Now. it's no

you give q swing, sirg'
''Yes, sir"
"And fetch him under the chin with
your righty'
But though to every question the
youngster responded in the Affirmative
the "Old Roman" was as doubtful as
Thomas the apostle.

Wen so down TO the gymnasium"
Arrived at the professors academy
Mr.. Thurman ordered the tutor to put
on the gloves with the pupil, and then
told them 70 blaze away.
Bob Farrell shiyered on the horns Of a
dilemma. If he licked the boy the old
gentleman would swear he had not
| taught him TO defend himself II the
boy licked him the Roman would think
he was not competent instructor.
The fight began with the proprietor
on the defensive. The boy gave an
opening which Bob let pass without at
tempting to take, in vain hope that the
grandfather would not see.

"why didn't you catch him that time?

Farrell bowled over the boy with a
right handler In the mouth and the Ro-
man went into ecstacies. He went over
To the youth and warned him.
"Hit high, my boy" said he, ''hit
high. His face guard is weak. Knock
his face out"
The contestants closed again. Bob got
in one on the boys neck and no WINGED.

roared the lawyer.
The next chance hegot-and Bob slyly
gave him plenty-he touched the pro-
fessor's nose and the claret spurted
freely.
Glorious, my sonr shrieked the
grandfather. "Give him another like
that Glorious, my boy! You're your
own fathers son. Gioriousl'
Another opening and Lee got in on
his tutors neck and the professor dropped
like felled bullock. He simply refused
to be revived; nothing they could do
would pull him together.

his grandson. Well, Fob Farrell faxed
through his faint to the intense JOY Of
al parties. and when hs came around the
"Old Roman" gave his boys tutor $40.
