JACK SULLIVAN LOSES CONTEST TO
 SAILOR BURKE
Brooklyn MiddIeweight in Rough Battle
 Had the Better of Cambridge Boxer.

Sailor Burke did all the forcing and. landed the cleaner blows, easily earning the decision over Jack Twin Sullivan in a ten-round contest last in Brooklyn. Tn clinches was where the men did their most effective work. and Burke, having the advantage of youth and strength, had the Cambridge boxer, in serious straite in several rounds.
 There was sensational finish to the contest The bell sounded for the end of the tenth round. but the boxers con- tinued to slam one another round the ring. The referee. from his exertions in breaking the boxers throughout the bout was helpless. and not until Mike Twin'' Sullivan and "Kid GrfTo'' Jumped into the ring could the mill 'be stopped. This was more than minute after the gong had sounded announc- ing the end of the bout.
 If Burke had listened to the advice of his seconds he probably would have won before the limit. But the one bad feature of the Brooklyn middleweight is that he cannot be instructed. He rushed wildly round after round last night, only to find his wild swings he steadied himself he had Sullivan be- wildered with stiff punches he drove home to the head.
 Evidently making desperate effort to win by knockout. Sullivan was the aggressor at the opening of the tenth round and landed two good punches before Burke found himself. Sullivan then ran into a brace of left jabs to the face and two rights to ths body when he went into a clinch and held on. The bell sounded, but the .men refused to stop and in Burke's corner continued to punch one another and could not be pulled apart until the seconds jumped into the ring.

IHE LADY OF
 THE HEAVENS
Copyright, 1908, by H. Rider Haggard
tcontinued from page &,


 It was very strange journey, and although she did not seem to take much note of them at the time. its details and surroundings burned themselves deeply into Racheps mind The hush of the infinite desert, the white moonlight gleaming upon the salt, white sand; the tall rocks which stood up here and there like unf1n- ished obelisks and colossal statues, the snowy clouds of dust that rose be- meath the feet of the company; the hoarse shouts of the guides, the close heat, the halts for water which was greediIy swallowed in great gulps; the occasional cry and confusion when a man fell out exhausted, or because he had been bitten by one of the ser pents. All these things, amongst oth- CTS. were very strange.
 Once Rachel asked vaguely what poisoned men, and Noie only shook Ter head in answer, for she did. not think fit to tell her that they were left to find their way back, or to per ish. as might chance. ff-(
 All that night and for the first hours of the day that followed, they went forward swiftly, camping at last to eat and sleep in the shadow of a mass of rock that looked like gigantic castle with walls and towers. Here they remained in the burning heat un- til the sun began to sink once more, and then went on again, leaving some of the bearers behind them, because there was no longer water for so many. There the great men sat ir. patient resignation and watched them go. they who knew that having little CT no water. few of them could hope to see their homes again. Still. so great was their dread of the Ghost priests. that they never dared to mur- mur, or to ask that any of the stores of water. should be given to them, they who were but cattle to be used until they died. 3F7
 The second nights journey was like the first, for this desert never chang ed its aspect, and on the following morning they halted beneath another pile of fantastic sand-burnished rocks, from some of which hung salt like icicles. Here one of the bearers who had been denied water as a pun ishment for Iaziness. although in truth he was sick. began to suck the salt icicles. Suddenly he went raving mad, and rushing with a knife at Ed do, Pani. and Hama where they sat un- der their cane umbrellas that, for the sake of coolneSs, were damped with this precious water, he tried to kill them.
 Then as they saw the knife gleam- fng.i all their fmperturbable calm de- parted from these dwarfs They squeaked in terror with thin voices as rats squeak; they rolled upon the ground yelling to the slaves to save them from a s'red death-" The man was seized and, though he fought with all his giant strength, held down and choked in the sand. Once, however, he twisted his head free, bowling a curse at them. Also he managed to hurl his knife at Eddo. and the point
