The circumstances surrounding the
death of the young girl have been
shrouded in mystery since her tragic
death. The police endeavored TO show
that there had been a violent struggle,
but as no witnesses could be found TO
corroborate their belief this phase OF
the case was dismissed. When the body
Of the girl was found there were sew
eTal marks upon her body that led the
authorities TO believe that there had
been foul play. A thorough investigation
was made. but no facts tending 10 prove
this theory were discovered.

gagement.

Teacher" said Johnny, as he came
into the primary room one morning in
June, what is the flag up on the
school building to-day for?" The
teacher thought a moment, according
to writer in the St. Louis Republic,
and then answered.: "I really can't
remember what the flag is up to-day
for, Johnny. You may go to the prin-
cipals room and look at the card and
then you may come back and tell u.s."
Johnny dashed off and few mo-
ments later returned, looking impor-
tant.
well, Johnny, what is the flag up
for?" asked the teacher.
cts up to celebrate somebody's
wedding" returned Johnny, promptly.
Somebody's wedding?" repeated the
teacher, slowly. why, Johnny, that
can't be. We have no flag day which
celebrates wedding"
well, it's got something to do with
a wedding, anyway" maintained
Johnny, stoutly. ''The card says So"
The teacher was unconvinced and
leaving the room, she went to make
a personal investigation. Under the
date of the day in question she read:

Experiment Failed

Mr.. Appleby had read somewhere
that judicious planting of old files
in the exposed parts of ones garden
would protect it from the depreda-
lions Of chickens. He decided to give
the plan a trial. By visits to all the
carpenter and blacksmith shops, he sue
ceeded in getting large collection of
old files. These he placed just below
the surface of the ground in his gar
den, with special reference to the spots
where an old hen and chickens belong
ing to his next-door neighbor had been
doing the damage. A few days later
enc Of his friends, who knew of his
plan, met him. and asked him how it
had succeeded. For several days
was good deal encouraged" said Mr..
Appleby. They didn't seem to know
what was the matter with the garden.
Then all at once they began to do more
mischief with the growing plants than
ever before. I watched that old hen.
and after day or two caught her.
She was sharpening her bill on the

IT don't understand, ''she said: mean
ing. rather, that she refused to under

II mean that such man, however
exalted his views might be, would have
to have an object more personal to
him than the mere dutiful promptines
of patriotism to make him do his
best"
"But that would be self-seeking
again."
Not necessarily in the narrow
sense. The old knightly chivalry was
a beautiful thing in its way, and it
gave an upl1ft to an age which would
have been frankly brutal without it:
yet it had its well-spring in what APP
peals to us now as being a rather fam
tastic sentiment
And we are not septimentalists?' '
she suggested.
No; and it's the worse for us in
some respects. You will not find your
ideal politician until you find a man
with somewhat of the old knightly
spirit in him. And I'll go further and
say that when you do find him he
will be at heart the champion of the
woman he loves rather than that of q

She became silent at that, and for
time the low sweet harmonies of

Again the piano-mellowed silence
supervened, and Kent put his elbows
on his knees and his face in his hands,
being very miserable. He believed
now what he had been slow to credit
before: that he had it in him to hew
his way to the end of the line if only
the motive were strong enough to call
out all the reserves of battle-might
and courage. That motive she alone
of all the women in the world, might
have supplied, he told himself in keen
self-pity. With her love to arm him
her clear-eyed faith to inspire him
He sat up straight and

The pugilist came from good family.
and adopted ring career to the great
chagrin of his parents However,
there was no keeping the boy but OF
the prize ring, as he was so completely
fascinated by the sport that he was a
professional boxer before he realized 1t.
Brusso is one of the best aIl-round ath-
letes in the business. His great physi-
cal endurance, which made it possible
for him to withstand the bearlike en-
braces of the gigantic Hart in clinches,
came from years Of lacrosse, tennis,
socker football, hockey and skating,
those sports having been Brusso's life
long pastimes at his Canadian home.
The athlete has always had a manila

sports, and has professionalism half

sorts of DISCUSSES. If there is lacrosse
game in when BruSso is around he
can't be kept out of it.. He shows the
most phenomenal endurance in all uf
those sports, and the stamina required
to hold Hart at bay was well carmel.
Brusso himself says that he didn't
want to become professional fighter,
but he simply couldn't help it, he was
so carried away with the delights of
boxing. He couldn't find enough anna
tours to stand up before him, so he
had to turn professional to satisfy his
yearning for excitement in the ring.
Most of Brusso's fights have been as a
welter or middleweight. Only in the
last few months, since going to the
coast, has he taken on so much weight.
1t would be hard work for him now -
