my own existence. Minna was in
truth an amiable, excellent maiden;
her whole soul was wrappepd up In

Yet I. alas, during those hours of
observation-disclosures 1 would even
now gladly recall--how often have 1
wept on Bendel's bosom, when after
the first made whirlwind of passion
reflected. with the keenest self
upbraidings, that I, a shadowless
man, had. with cruel selhshness, prac-
ticed a wicked deception. and stolen
away the pure and angelic heart of
the innocent Minna!
At one moment I resolved to con-
fess all to her: then that would
fly forever; then l broke out into a
flood of bitter tears. and consulted
Bendel as to the means of meeting
her again In the forester's garden.
At times l hattered myself with
great hopes from the near approach

again because l saw clearly on re-

There's something about these odds
that made the fight look like one OF
those real valuable clay pipes to the
boys up here. And the broad grin some
of the Corbett men wore-one OF those
kind that say "come in out of the wet
easy money hamed to take it,
But the Hanlon likers sticked to
their man in all arguments but no din

tall and strenuous walloping himself,
the money wasn't loosed from their
pockets. OF course there was quite
bunch of simoleons put up on the fight
but the betting was not as general as
you would expect on such a match.

story easier to take without too much
shaking, young Corbett". of Denver,
decisively whipped Eddie Hanlon, of
San Francisco, until he was simply
helpless. and although the California
youngster stood up under the hurricane
of blows rained upon him, he was all
in and unable to put up a defense,
and in the 10Th round. after doing all
he could to put Hanlon out and hav-
ing him in such a bad way that it
was impossible to continue the fight,
Referee Graney interfered and decid-
ed for Corbett. Only half conscious

he has made more friends than ever,
as never, of late, was such a rafting

morning to find their judgment off by

I myself simply had one of those
spasms one does backward-kind of
a bowling knot, y'know. There wasn't
much money bet in this city on the re-
quilt for the reason that, although there
were odds to burn and all that, when
such enormous odds are given in fight
of this class, something is certainly u
pipe, and the judgment of the bunch
at the ringside must be given credit
for what it's worth in any fight.
Evidently Corbett knows he has been
fighting-no doubt about it. BY de-
feating Hanlon he is simply the king

He's in class by himself-at 100
