practically whipped in the third round.
Sullivan got in fierce blow on his side
under the heart from which he has never
fully recovered. An ordinary man would
have thrown up the sponge in the next
round. Kilrain's seconds themselves ac-
knowiedged. that the fight was over then,
but with the Indifference of a stole and
the pluck of a hero Kilrain continued the
unequal struggle and administered many

in spite of this, an undiscriminating
crowd, mistaking caution and strategy
for cowardice, yelled at Kilrain, calling
him cur and coward when he sought to
avoid Sullivan's blows by lodging. or
when he tried to outwind him by re-
treating before him around the ring.

rooms advertised and were thoroughly
pleased. A contract was made the money

a written receipt for a months rent.
Thus ended the business phase of the

detected eountenance and suppressed
tones of voice TO the Iandlady whose re-

you my wife is dead. Then he proceeded
to give the details which were as follows:

evening and the next morning for a full

in the mans story, and inasmuch as he
