"A deuced pretty girl" NIeg-the world generally and Sophy always spoke of her by that style, and we may take the same liberty-was only child of the great Earl of Dunstanbury. The title and estates passed to his grandnephew, but half a million or so of pounds came to her.
 The air of the household was stormy that day at Morpingham-an incentive to the expedition, not deterrent, for Lady. Meg had she known it. Sophy was in sore disgrace e-accused, tried and convicted of insubordination and un. seemly demeanor toward Mrs. Smilker. The truth seems to be that this good woman (Rest her soul. She has a neat tombstone in Morpingham churchyard) loved, like many another good creature, good ale sometimes trifle too well, and the orders she gave when ale had been plentiful did not always consort with her less mellow injunctions. In no vulgar directness. but with sarcasm which Mrs. Smilker felt without under standing, Sophy would point out these Inconsistencies. fingered and humiliat- ed, fearful, too. perhaps that her sub ordinate would let the secret out, Mrs Smilker made haste to have the first word with the powers, and against tho word of the cook the word of the cook maid weighed as naught. After small CT troubles of this origin there had come a sort of crisis today. The long h of long lectures had been read to Solhy by mistress and repeated, slight ly condensed. by master, then shs was sent away to think 1t over. An abject apology to outraged Mrs. Smilker must be forthcoming or punishment was the decree. Informed of this ultimatum. sophy went out and hung about the avenue. hoping for Julia to appear. Soon Julia came and heard the story. She had indignation in readiness and. what was more to the purpose. plan. Soon Sophy's eyes grew bright.

 ''No, thank you, MT. Pindar," said the young man, resolute in wisdom. "Ill send you over If you like"
 'T'll come with you" said Pikes. But how account for ourselves? Old Brown low is unknown to us"
 If Percival had been going I'd have had nothing to do with it, but don't mind taking you two old sillies," said Lady Margaret q wanted to pay call on Elizabeth Brownlow anyhow. We were at school togetheronce. ButI won't guarantee you sight of the kitchen maid"
 .It's pretty drive for this part of the country" observed Dunstanbury
 Tt mny well become your favorite road" smiled Mir Pindar benevolently.
 And since Lady Meg goes with us, it's already ours" added MT. Pikes gal lantly.
 So they used to go on for hours at a time, as Dunstanbury has declared, both at Hazleby when they were there and at Lady Meg's house in Berkeley square, where they almost always were. They were pleased to consider them selves Pikes Whig, twen- ty years behind date; Pindar, Tory, 200. It was all an affectation, as snmed for the purpose, but with the very doubtful result of amusing Lady Meg To Dunstanbury the two old waifs-for waifs of the sea of society they were for all that each had a suf- ficient income to his name and rep utable life behind him-were sheerly tresome, and there seems little ground

Lady Meg and her spaniels. This un. kind name, derived at first from the size and shape of MT. Plndar's ears they were large and hung over at the top--had been stretched to include Mir. Pikes also, with small loss of propriety. Both gentlemen were low of stature, plump of figure, hairy on the face; both followed obediently at the heels of commanding Lady Meg. The amenl- ties of the luncheon table opened hearts. Very soon the tale of Sophys iniquities was revealed. Incidentally and unavoidably if Sophy's heinous fault were to appear in its true meas ure the tally of the Brownlows' beney- olence was reckoned. But Mrs. Brown low won small comfort from Lady Meg. She got Q stiff touch of the truth
 Ran in and out of the drawing roomw she said. "Did shef The truth is, Lizzie, you've spoiled her, and now you're angry with her for being spoiled"
 What is she now, Mrs. Brownlow| asked Pindar, with a sly intention. Was this Percival's deuced pretty girl?
 "She works in the kitchen, MT. Pin dar."
 "The grill" his eyes signaled to Mir. Pikes. Let Lady Meg see her, he urged insinuatingly. "She has a won derful way with girls
 T don't want to see her, and I know your game, Pindar,' said Lady Meg.
 I'm afraid she must go" sighed Mrs. Brownlow. Her husband said, more robustly, that such an event would be good riddance-a saying re- peated, with the rest of the conversa- ton, by the butler (one William Byles, still living, to the gratified ears of Mrs. Smilker fin the kitchen.
 "But I'm not easy about her future. She's an odd child, and looks it."

 The girls in the avenue had made their plan. Sophy would not bow her head to Mrs. Smilker nor longer cal the bread of benevolence embittered by Servitude. She would go with Julia. She, too, would tread the boards if only she could get her feet on them. And when did any girl seriously doubt her ability to do that?

the regulation gymnasium stunts. and
Flynn will work out in his usual man
ner, but minus the boxing part of the
program. Both have been up against
it regarding sparring partners and
have done little of this kind of work.
Kaufman boxed twelve rounds yes
terday afternoon, going three rounds
each with Jack Wade, a heavyweight;
Big Bill Aldridge, Cliff Reuman and
Kid Trendall. He went on the road
for an eleven mile jog In the morning
and performed the usual stunts with
the weights, pulleys, sand bag, punch
ing bag and at shadow boxing in the
afternoon. About 1900 fans sat in the
amphitheater during the workout.
At the end of the workout Billy De-
laney said that Kaufman is in great
condition for any kind of a fight he
would have to put up TO "in. and that
while respecting the abilities of Flynn
the native son expects to win easily,
with the probability that a knockout
punch will earn the decision for him.
Flynn is quite an obstacle in the way
of Kaufman, but he still maintains
that he will be successful In fighting
his way to the rung on which Tommy
Burns is standing at the top of the
ladder.
Flynn only boxed three rounds. as he
has no sparring partner and was forced
to impress a brother of Abdul the Turk
to do three rounds for the entertain-
ment OF the full house that attended
his workout. Flynn says he is more
than pleased with the results of the
training period and will be disap-
pointed II he fails to give Al decisive
beating.
It was settled yesterday that Charlie
Eyton, official club referee, will be
third man in the ring when Al and Jim
meet. Flynn once objected to Eyton
as referee, but he voluntarily came
across yesterday with the statement to
the club that Eyton will be entirely
satisfactory to him and this settled the
affair. as Kaufman and Delaney also
are perfectly satisfied with the club
referee. This is as ii should be. I'm
seemly squabbles over the selection OF
& referee do nobody any good, and
there never has been a time in recent
years when any local referee deserved
criticism regarding his capability and
integrity. Tommy Walsh will handle
the two preliminary bouts as usual.
Thirty rounds of fighting viii be the
bill for tomorrow night. In addition to
the big fight at ten rounds there will
be two ten-round prelims. The show
will open with a ten-round bout be-
tween Charlie Lucca and the Congo
Coon, a whirlwind black fighter from
San Francisco. It will be followed by
another ten-round affair, in which
Willie Fairbanks, who made such an
excellent showing against Jim Konkel
recently, and the Harlem Coffee Cooler,
who defeated AL Vogt at the last Nc
Carey show, will go on at catchweights,
which means about 1873 pounds. This
also should be a great scrap from the
rough house viewpoint,
The popularity of scraps between
the big boys is evidenced in the extra
ordinary demand for seats for this
show. Kaufmanns easy defeat of Bat
tling johnson last out and the hard
fights that Flynn put up with the big
Russian give the fans rather a good
idea as to what will happen when the
two big boys hook up. There will be
all the action desired and Flynn will
set such stiff pace that Al must fight
fast to keep up.
