CHAPTER XXI.
A Revelation.

The screened veranda at Red Gables
was bathed in the mellow glow from a
dozen delicately tinted Japanese lanterns
and the tinkle of a mandolin and the
sound Of deep voice humming Vene-
tian boating song reached our ears as we
approached We could see through the
open French windows into the lighted Nv
ing room. where Mr.. Mcclure and a gen.
tleman, who was stranger to me. sat
before a card table with q chessboard be-
tween them. 1t was Dolly and Kilbourne.

lighted end. too. where the moonbeams

the arrival of Milbrath. or of me. per-
haps, but his spirits were too buoyant
that evening to feel q damper for long
Dolly's welcome TO Milbrath was TO my
mind clearly not that of mere friend.
and I wondered how under the sun Kill
bourne failed to take the mint.
We sat upon the verarda for while,
but few words were spoken. Dolly con-
tinued to finger the mandolin strings In
accompaniment to kilbournes snatches
OF song. Presently Mrs. Foster suggested
that we go inside and persuade Dolly 10
sing. Kilbourne had been asking her
TO do all the evening.

understood instinctively that Milbrath $
ensitive nerves were quivering In that
atmosphere Of antagonism toward him.
and as Kilbourne hurried ahead to get
out the music / boldly attached myself
to Mrs. Foster. and. diverting her atten-
ton as best l could. led her slowly to-

campaign in Maine last night. warned

IL the republican machine can pass
safely over the present crisis IL will no
more heed the demand for substan-
tial reduction than IL has previously.
While President Tafts purposes un-

fate OF President Arthur's tariff com

| PHILADELPHIA. September Billy
| Delaney stamps Jack Johnson, the
champion as the greatest heavyweight
who ever bound his hand with tape, ana
| in the following interview he discusses
| the stars for generation in an unbiased
manner. He says:
John l.. Sullivan was of the old school.
Dead game was John. He had a right
hand punch that was as heavy as any
heavyweight ever tossed at a foe. Those
grit and his hitting powers. He was an
old school fighter. but pitted against the
men of today he would be outclassed. He
was the best f his time. and despite the
fact that Sullivan violated the rules of
training he was wonderful man. School
ed in modern methods, he would have al
most been unbeatable.
Jim Corbett was the fastest man
ever trained. and, bar Johnson, the only
finished boxer the heavyweight class has
produced. Jim was quick with every fiber
OF his body His eye was like an eagles.
his feet like those of a deer and his
hands like flash Of lightning. He could
spar like a panther strike and make
stronger man beat himself in trying to
reach him Jim lacked the hitting pow
er. Had he had the punch of Fitz-
simmons or Sullivan he would have
been the peer of all the fighters. He was
wonderful man and a brainy fellow.
Eitzsimmons a Wonder.
Bob Fitzsimmons was a wonder. Why,
at forty he was an ace fighter. He
is forty eight years old today. How that
old chap could hit and what game man
he was when they broke bad. He was
the best middleweight who ever lived. He
was too small to beat Jack Johnson, but
ounce for ounce he was good man
as ever lived. One hundred and twenty
two pounds of ritz would be a feather

Him Above Most Of the Heavy

Joe Choynski and Kid Mccoy we're
light heavyweights. too big to be middle
pions in the class above. Mccoy was a
wizard lie was cunning fighter, one
of the best, but too light. Choynskf was
so good that he beat Jack johnson.
The great bulldog of the game was
Tom Sharkey, the Irishman. He was
not afraid of a thing that lived, and he
was as strong as a bear. | had JEFF
against him. and I know how good Shar-
key was at that time. Tom was credit
to the land which gave him birth. Tom
was short of body and arm, but he was
fit match for any one
JEFF the Strongest.
physically Jim Jeffries was the best
of the lot. but he did not like to fight,
and that was the weak spot in his life.
He had all that the fighter could pick up.
but he tried to come back TO the ring
when he no longer had that wonderful
vitality. Jim had two punches. right to
the body and a left to the jaw, and that
was his stock in trade Block them and
you had him baffied. He would then try
TO beat you down gradually. ana ne was
successful because he was the most pow
erful man of the age.
Jack Johnson has everything on the
books He Is fast, clever, and never let
any one tell you that he cannot hit
Johnson can finish his man win either
hand. and he can swing, hook jap. upper
cut shift or drive il home with an over
hand motion. No heavyweight ever had
all that except the Texan.
He can box like Corbett. hit like Fitz

That Brown will be able to carry his
part of the burden in the post-season Sc
ries no one doubts. There Is some ques-
ton as to Coles ability to stop the Attn
letics In a big series. There Is no doubt
ing he has the curves and nerve, but In
a worlds championship series IL Is eX-
perience that counts more than anything
else, and the Diamond King Is shy on
this valuable asset. Adams, yearling In
the big leagues. turned the trick for the
Pirates last year, winning three OF the
four gangs that returned them world
champions and Cole may develop into the
hero or the coming series. The meeting
between the Athletics and the cubs Is

Trip to Old Home in Germany.

After spending three months renewing
several brothers and sisters at the old
home in Germanysand viewing Che scenes
of his childhood after an absence of five
years, Ferdinand Stamm returned to
Langdon on last Wednesdays freight,
bringing with him carload of thorough
bred Belgian horses, including perfect
ly formed three year old chestnut stall
lion and four thoroughbred brood mares,
all of which he will place on his stock
farm near Iona, none of them being on
the market for sale.
Mr.. Stamm il talking of his trip said
that the ocean voyage, coming back
took sixteen days and he was nine days
on the cars with his horses in reaching
Langdon after landing in New York
He was accompanied on his return by
Henry Robrecht and Anton Keck, who
come out here to make homes for
themselves. He had quite time at the
old home in Westphalia, Germany where
he arrived on Christmas eve, there was
no snow but much bad weather, the end
of the journey being made amid thunder
heavy winds and downpour of rain
Of the Belgian horses he brought back
with him the most attractive is the three
year old stallion, Quirinal a chestnut
horse of fine shape with white name and
tail and pedigree of pure Belgian
breeding. The present weight of the
horse is only 1850 pound but by the time
he is four years old he will easily tip the
scale at 1000 pounds The thoroughbred
Belgian brood mares are named Agnes
