When the fight began Burke lowered
lover McSherry by half a head. He was
broad and muscular. The college man
looked like anything but weil-traIned

muscular development. He was rather

McSherry rushed and landed two or

there-men big in the commercial world

have been glad TO listen to them outside
Of the ring.

But he stood like a dummy and said
nothing. Burke sprang In from behind

And then, while Buckley stood back
and looked on, and the half conscious

by her husband over the telephone
that he would bring number Of
guests home to dinner. The party was
altogether unexpected. and in all the

in it, there was not enough food.
Mrs. County got busy at once and
instructed her cook to order certain
supplies while she planned the rest Of
the dinner. A little later Mrs. County
happened in the room where the tele-

the cook talking ferociously into the
