$3.50 Buys An
Odell Typewriter

This machine fills a place that no
other machine does. Ministers, col
lege students, high school students and
such people who have very little to
write, in many cases cannot afford
to invest S100 in a machine. 1t is
possible to do everything on an Odell
that can be done on any standard ma
chine. The price of an Odell is $3.50.
We guarantee them. We invested sew
eral hundred dollars when we first or
dered them. We believed enough in
their practicability to make such an
investment. The original price of an
Odell was $40. The firm changed
hands; the new owners wanted to sell
more typewriters, and they didn't
care about making so much profit,
SO they reduced the price. W7 En-

Now for practical work:
Take up the first position in boxing,

eighteen inches behind left heel, knees
unbent, shoulders slightly back; and
head erect. Each hand, when not in

as possible on the imaginary spot mid
way between top and bottom. Throw
the weight of the shoulder and Of the
body into the blow. AS the bag is not
your sparring partner, you can "slug"
it with all your strength. By use of
the bag only can you give full force to
your blows, and determine accurately
your hitting power and scope of reach.
When you land this first blow the
bag will fly back against the ring Of
the platform and will rebound.
If you are standing close to the plat
form at the time the bag will proba-
bly, strike you full in the face on the
rebound. To avoid this, move your
head quickly to one side, or else step
back out of reach. -
Perhaps you think it is an easy mat
ter for a beginner to hit the punching
bag a straight blow and make it re-
bound to the place whence it started.
If SO. your first blow will undeceive
you. line -Dag WILL n.y. OFT at all sorts

you learn the trick by experience, to

sired point. A very little practice,
however, will teach you how to gauge
the force and direction of your blows.
Continue this left hand lead until
you can hit the bag on its return
bound and send it back again. Begin
slowly. Hit the bag with your left fist
just hard enough to make it touch
the opposite side of the platform and
bounce back. Then, as it returns, hit
it again with your left. Increase the
force Of your blows as rapidly as you
are able to make your accuracy in hit
ting keep pace with them, . II you

second.
When you have learned to hit it
with tolerable accuracy with the left

thru the same course of accustoming
yourself to the bags eccentric move
ments.
Then lead with the left, and as the
bag rebounds lead with the right,

AS the two men left the room the
orderly entered it once more and an
.nounced to the general that lady
was below who asked the privilege Of
an interview with him. q
Lady? What alady?' demanded
Beauregard, impatiently.
- He was in no mood for feminine So
ciety after the difficult interview in
which he had just participated.

says she must see you, and

ly as he recollected the scene on the
wharf the night before, when Fanny
Glen had tainted at the news that the
boat was going and that Lacy had
gone with it. Show her in here at
once, orderly" ~
He had intended to seek her in her
house in the course of the morning
and break the melancholy news to her
that the torpedo boat was lost in all
proba ,bility with all on board, for from
her agitation on the wharf he inferred
that her affections were bestowed
Of course but knowing Lacy as he
had and estimating Fanny Glen as he
did, there was a certain sense of relief
that she would not be condemned to a
lifetime Of misery which such g. mar
riage would inevitably have entailed.
Still he pitied her profoundly, and he
spitied her more when she came into
the private office in the wake Of the
orderly and threw back her veil. Her
beautiful face showed the sorrow un-

She almost lost consciousness in her
agony. She murmured strange and
incoherent words. The general did
not understand them, but he rose,
came to her side, bent over her and
took her hand, patting it softly.
II know, know my dear child

up her hearts desire for our beloved
