NELSON-HERRERA
FIGHT. FiZZLED OUT

LOS ANGELES. Cal, May Cat 10:47
o. clock last night Q:47 am. Washington
time), after bitter wrangling which had
continued ever since 6 oc clock in the even
ing, the fight between Battling Nelson and
Aurelia Herrera was formally declared off
and boxbolders were told they would have
money refunded.
This elimination came after the men had
been in the ring and both had departed.
Herrera had been Kissed off the stage and
to his dressing room. Nelson and Manager
McCarry then held conference with Her
rera and the announcement was made that
the men would be In the ring inside of five
minutes. Nelson was extremely anxious to
go on with the mill, but the Maxican made
It practically impossible.
The trouble arose over weight. The men
were to weigh In at 131 pounds. Herrera
positively refused to weigh In and after
much wranging Nelson offered to fight him
II he weighed under 40 Herrera refused
this proposition and the crowd cheered Mel
son and Kissed the Mexican.
Herrera's manager explained Herreras
refusal to weigh in by the statement that
the Mexican had weighed in the afternoon
and was down to weight, but that fmme-
diately thereafter he had partaken OF a
hearty meal of porkchops and other food.
This called for boots and jeers from the
spectators whose sympathies were all with
the Battler because of his manly stand.
AS the wranging progressed the scenes In
the amphit1eat@r bordered on the riotous.
1t is perhaps well for the Mexican that he
did not fight at any weight. for the crowd
gained the impression that he was afraid
to meet the Dane. who would In all like
hhood have beaten him to insensibility in
two or three rounds.
BY his action last night the Mexican has
lost all the support he has enjoyed on the
coast There have been suspicious for the
last few days that he feared to meet Nell
son. This was indicated in many ways.
Heretofore ne has shown deep contempt
for ordinary training rules and drank

CHAPTER XIX.
From the Relfrv Tower

Gavin's little band of workmen ran up a
light scaifold of ladders and boards for
him against the belfry tower, and had it
finished upon the morning of the converse
ton with the Lady Evelyn. To this height
he climbed early in the day. when began an
examination of the decaying fabric and set
down the first lines of the report he had to
make to the earl. The old building was In
a shocking state certainly; the plumb-line
declared surprising departures from that
stately grace of perpendieularity the text
books had taught him to esteem. Gavin
should have taken the greatest interest in
all this, but he did not. Had you spoken to
him yesterday he would have been ready to
declare that nothing on earth could be more
fascinating than the very task he now pre-
tended to be engaged upon; but his habit
ual candor came to his rescue today and
he now pronounced the work to- be almost
distasteful. For, in truth, he had discover
ed a secret as old man, and the delight
of that new knowledge surpassed the work.
er's dreams by far.
He stood upon a dizzy height, but custom
had stalled the peril of his employment
and, in this aspect, fear was unknown to
him. A high trembling ladder permitted
him to climb up to a couple of boards sus-
pended from the parapet above by frail
ropes cunningly wound about the embra-
sures of the battlements. He stood with
his back to messy wall; beneath him lay

stood amazed at It's familiarity.

terday walking with the earl he said, as
founded. and then, What in the devil s
name is he doing here?'
That should not have been difficult
question to answer, and Gavin instantly de-
termined TO make no mention of 1t until the
morning. The fellow probably a thief
who had the run of the house and had
taken advantage of its masters forbear-
ance 1t would be sufficient to name the
crcum stance at the breakfast table and to
leave the rest to the earl, who could act in
the matter as he pleased. None the less,
Gavin found his nerves much shaken and
sleep for the remainder of the night was
out of the question. Switching on every
lamp in his room, and locking and boiling
the heavy door, he sat by the open window
and asked himself into what house of mys-
teries he had stumbled and what secrets 1t
was about to reveal to him. But chiefly he
asked where he 1ad met the Lady Evelyn
before and memory befriending
he exclaimed aloud:
