'Well, sir" said Convict 756 to the
prison chaplain, II amt a-goin to make
no rash promises about futur' reformation,
becuz it amt in me to be good, an If
wuz to try should only be 'nmbuggin
myself. But ono thing will promise ye.
an that is that 1 won't never 60 in for ne
moro bruisin.
''Not as I'm afraid O. nobody, livin or
dead, for, fair an square, can knock my
man For take my cruel with the best O.
'em, but the last roun as | went In for
landed me in this ere Jug an, with all
respects to We an Ter majesty, 'er 'orspi-
tality is leetle too pressin for the good o.
my 'ealth.
''It wuz like this way: l wuz well
knowed round about as the champion

APPS didn't orter could knock most any
body into the middle Of mex week inside
O. three roun's-which I'll show yo 'ow

tation for bein a good, 'eavy, smashin sort

Commissions? Why, from blokes wot
wanted to mark somebody by deputy.
There's plenty as would willingly give a
henemy black eye il they wasn't afeard
O. gettin one themselves. An it's by I'M
dertakin jobs O. this kind that gents in
my late perfession pulls through the dull
times.

'Wot can ave the pleasure O. doin for
you, Mr. Wickles?' says I. Private les
sings in tho noble art O. boxin, l guinea
the course cash in advance an drinks for
the sweeper as clears up the 5its!'
''Mr. Wickles, 9 laughs at my bit o. a
joke an e says, says 'e, 'Bulger,' e says,

ents on my behalf Who's the partyP'
inquiries. Mention is name an consider

"'I'll make the terms all right, says
Mr.. Wickles orderin me another pot, an
