living in an atmosphere of less aga

triumph over his rivals with legiti-
bate beat, and he found the great

quietly, quickly, and so successfully
that the night for the performance
came without any one knowing of 1t

The equerry would not hear him, and
Mr.. Brisbane. desperate and angry,

said, turning to where the champion
stood toying with one huge picked
paw, "Ive got to go. What'll you
do?'
