Milo's Spectacular Feat

TAKE for instance the story of Milo. the most
famous athlete of ancient times. Milo most
spectacular feat was To take on his back four
year-old heifer and carry 1t round the stadium.
Now, the animal may have weighed anywhere
from four hundred to eight hundred pounds
and the distance round the stadium we know
to have been exactly two hundred and twenty
yards. that IS one-eIght of a mile
Whether this story Is true, no one can tell
but there Is no good reason why II should not
be, for the feat Is by no means incredible OF
even unique. The Turkish porters of Con-
stantinople frequently make long journeys
bearing their shoulders a weight of SIN
hundred pounds. which Is quite much or
even more than Milo's burden Is said To- have
been
1t is further told that after Milo had FIN
ished his circuit of the stadium with his bovine
burden he killed the animal with a single blow
of his INST. 1t 1t Is assumed that his blow was
struck with his bare fist. the story Is rather
too much for belief. The Greek boxers, how
ever, always used the cestus. bulky apparatus
not unlike the boxing glove, but extending
nearly TO the elbow and heavily weighted with
lead. Armed with such weapon any good
heavyweight pugiliSt like Sullivan, JettrleS, or
Sharkey would have little difficulty IN Staying
a cow with a single blow. So, after all. the

In an anteroom leading from his

bag. At my entrance he looked up
inQuiringly.
"what do you want, Ducaine?"
he asked.
Il am sorry to have disturbed
your grace l answered II have
come to place my resignation In

He said nothing for moment,
during which his eyes met mine
mercilessly:

My words were evidently shock

raised to his forehead shake.
What do you mean, Ducaine?
Speak out, man"
1.-THE safe in the study has been
opened during the night" I said.
"Our map of the secret fortifica-

"How do you know this?

in a peculiar way. 1t has been un-

paced the room restlessly.

Absolutely sure. your grace"
He turned away from me.

"You are right" he admitted.
