No one dissented, for Krags and his
followers were as confident as the
Brownsville men, and moreover count
ed themselves lucky to get of as they
did after the expose. And then Smith
ers gave new turn to the situation
by saying. 'I'll bet even money that
Kragsll lick him"
In about three minutes all tho avail
able cash in the party was staked on
the contest and the two gladiators
stripped for the fray.
Then was Brownsville glorned
within three minutes more, for Long
Mike stood with his hands down, wait
inI the others onslaught. 1t came
with a fury that would have demol-
ished an ordinary man, but he took
two blows that seemed enough to
break his bones, and then wrapped
his arms around Krags in such fash
ion as to hold him helpless. For a
moment he stood thus, Tightening his
grip slowly, and then said, coolly:
"YeIl tell me when ye have
enough"
The other made no answer. but
struggled like a wildcat, while Long
Mike stood smiling and slowly tighten
ing his awful rip. Not until the
bones began to crack did the defeated
man give up, but presently he gasped.

Brownsville would have accepted II

Long Mike was not the player he was

hoping for nothing more than call

name of knowing extremely well how
TO lie down when he was beaten. So
nobody was badly hurt.
The next two deals were uneventful.

thick muscular fingers were well kept

the influence OF marriage on longevity.
Interesting figures show that the NOR

siderably below the mortality of sin

being most noticeable between the
age periods Of fOrty-hve and sixty
four years. Between those ages.
roughly speaking. three single men die
to two married ones. The rate of fe-
males gives a result favorable to mar
ried women. Although their death
rate is greater than that of single
women in the period between fifteen
and forty-four years, after that period
the proportions are reversed in favor
Of married women.
