SpARR1NG MATCHES Not UNLAw
Incorporation Attorney S. 6.
Brent has sent to Mayor Strauss an
opinion regarding the legality OF spar
ring exhibitions in this city. Mr.. Brent is
of opinion that such performances are
not interdicted by the laws of this city
or State. Commonwealth Attorney
Leonard Marbury also states that
while prizefighting is forbidden by the
State laws, sparring matches are not re-
garded as illegal so long as they are
conducted solely as sparring matches
and when they do not SAVIOR of slug,
sing, brutality or kuockouts. Should
sparring bouts occnr in this city IL, the
future gloves proper weight only will
be allowed, and when anything occurs
outside of friendly contest, the po-
ice, who will be present, will bring the
procedure to an abrupt close by arrest
ing all concerned. Mayor Strauss will
not allow Hite Peckham apd Billy Nc
SIilln to have their contest here.

liam Henry Springer, your part
ner's son, the Egyptian, you know?
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I forgot to
tell you. l had in my hand the
check for my allowance which you
gave me this morning, for auntie
and l intended to stop in the bank.
"Well, this young man halted
right in front of me and stared
not impudently, but in dumb ad
miration. He stared and squinted
like-like Jew examining par
gain! Then l understood. He
took me for one of the figures, and
was entranced with my workman

Mrs. farley stood over me, though
if he weren't as blind as a rich
mans gate he might have seen that
| was shaking all over. He sighed,
papa, oh! he sighed as if possessed
by Aeolus, and then he went away.
In a moment he was back with
bunch of violets, which he placed
in my hands, thrusting the check,
without glance, into his pocket.
Then he sighed still more and
looked as if he were going to kotoo,
and departed. But when auntle
and l were passing down the street
he went by us in a gale of appre-
hension and despair. Could any
thing be more 1eliciously ridicu-
lous? Oh, papa, papa! why don't
you laugh?"
But Mr.. Weir, intent on carry
ing out his own design, was por
tentiously solemn. "Laugh, my
child" he protested. 81 am
grieved, l am shocked! Such a
downfall, such blow to fond pa
rent and aspiring friends! And
yet the welfare of society requires
that | should be inexorable; that
an example should be made of

"Why, papa, whatever do you
mean?" interrupted Bessie. care

course it was all mistake. He
took me for waxwork, tell you!"
"Perhaps he did, my child" re-
sponded the father, mournfully
shaking his head; "but he never
took that check for wax, though
its figure doubtless took him. No,
no! l can see no extenuating cir
cumstance. There was deliber-
alton, generalization, all the ele-
ments of a cold-blooded larceny.

without finch.
"But, what? And how? And
why?" disjointedly asked the proud
yet perplexed parent.

he had reserved for the charming
of his friends, related his little adj
venture, not sparing himself, for

man rocked and rolled as he

"That old man is going daffy,"
remarked the senior clerk to the
room without.
"Of course, she knew you, my
boy" Mr.. Weir finally managed to
explain. my Bessie has a merry
heart, and dearly loves a jest. She
knows all about you, and likes you,
too, for being SO odd and shy.

man, she's apt to end by laughing

"That is, she isn't a business

"perhaps, by bringing this matter
to humorour conclusion, might
help along that little arrange,

"Command me, my boy, shouted
Mr.. Weir. "Be my child in real
ity; that is, command me-" And
William Henry explained the views
of which his brain was now so fer

1t occurred to Mr.. Weir, as he
mounted the stairs to the sitting
room of his home that he might

A TRAIL OF LOVE.

L never thought l would be a
bachelor. The JOY of my youth
from the time | was fifteen was
sparkling the girls, and they took
me captive often and easily. l lay
awake at night thinking of the
house | would build for pretty
Monette Silby. When she tossed
me sky high, contemplated sui
eide for a whole week. Then |
met Maria Prudens, and my spirits
revived. l declared my love to
her in forty-eight hours, only to
be laughed at and told that she had
been engaged year. SO went
on, love affair after love affair, each
one more painful than it's predeces-
sor, until was twenty-five, when
common sense called and half ques-
toned" Morley Montague, are
you going to court every girl in
Christendom?"
Then the susceptibility that en-
countered such frequent inspira-
ton began a mad rush to the other
extreme. | somersetted over into
woman hater Curls, waves,
roses, dimples, smiles-all woman
witchery was lost on me. l had
gone up the gamut of female lowell
ness, had sounded every note, and
my heart pronounced the tones
tlresome, uncompensatlng. | car
ried my diploma from the school
of love. There was nothing more
to learn about woman, and it be-
came a self-evident proposition
that celibacy was my doom. l &C
cepted it cheerfully, and, like all
such graduates, I began to ridicule
and depreciate women-youth's
playthings, mans scorn.
1t was December. The first
snow lay on the ground, and the
clear, cold rays of a golden sunset
were falling over all the untrodden
whiteness. The business of the
day being over, l wound up affairs
at my office and started for my
home, which lay on the outskirts
of the town. Turning from the
main street to the road that led to
my home, | observed that was
the first pedestrian along that high
way since the snow had fallen.
No, there is another track. Some
one has gone ahead of me. And
such a track! A woman's? 1t
must be child's it is so tiny and
perfect. Yet something told me it
was woman's, and I felt a sudden
mysterious interest in it. With
head down and eyes following this
track | reached my gate, and, be-
hold, the walker turned in there.
Having settled into bachelor
hood, | was not sure that | wished
to meet strange woman, and |
knew there was no foot in my own
family that, even with tight squeez-
ing, could be reduced to the size
Of that track. So | made a sud-
den dart to the side door, entered,
and, meeting my mother, inquired:
-"Who's there?"
"Who's there?" she repeated.

and see whether I've hit off your
taste. IT'S lifelike to my An
Egyptian slave presenting is or
some such sort of thing"
Bessie drew the curtain from
before the niche and started back
in CONSERVATION. There knelt
William Henry Springer An
Egyptian slave presenting gifts,
truly, for in one hand was an
enormous bunch of violets, and in
the other was the pink check!
And on William Henry's face was
an expression irresistibly comical,
composed as it was of pleading and
ardor and the strain of his pro-
tracted position. No wonder Mr.
Weir roared to the impairment of
his sides. But William Henry's
lips turned white, his heart grew
sick within him as he looked at
the set, averted face of the girl.
Was this the humorous conclusion
which he had planned ? Then he
had best go bury himself, for moth
ing could be more deadly.
"Why don'tyou laugh, Bessie?"
shouted Mr.. Weir, but his jaw also
fell, as his daughter beckoned him
to one side.
"Was that scene upstairs ar
ranged between your"
"Upon my HONOR" protested
the abashed Mr.. Weir, "that was
little idea of my own"
"And you will never tell him,
never, never"
"Never, SO help me-"
Then indeed Bessie greeted
William Henry, and laughed as
merrily over his humorous con-
clusion as he had hoped she would
And that strange courage which
had come that afternoon returned,
never again to desert him. There
after he pressed his suit with all
the words that can be found in
bright manhood's lexicon of youth.
So, too, did that other suit, found
ed on the revelations of the musty
manuscript, prosper. In fact Will
liam Henry soon became as sue
cessful in law as he was fortunate
in love. People who had laughed
at him now said, 81 told you so"
And busy Mr.. Weir never ceased
from relating how he had managed
the entire affair. AS for the old
nickname, that was generally dis
carded-Bessie would just like to
hear any one speak so of her dear
husband. Still she smiles when
