South Africa to Be Scene Of Great
Contest Between Ensiand's Best and
the Champion Professional Of the
World-A $4,000 Purse at Stake.

Word-A $5,O0O Purse at stake.
widespread interest is being taken
In the coming match between Dick
Arnst Of New Zealand, the worlds
champion professional sculler, and
Ernest Barry. holder of the English
title to be held on the zambezi river,
South Africa, Aug ls The purse TO
be rpwed for is one Of $1,000 sub
scribcd by South African sportsmen,
$3.50 Of which. with the title Of
champion OF the world. goes to the
winner and 81. $50 to the loser.
The men have been practicing hard
for the event for some time and are in
good shape for hard contest Arnst,
according to all accounts, is the big
gest marvel in aaulling boat ever
seen. He possesses enormous mnscu-
lar strength aud an extraordinary
chest development and has all the fine
points Of the art of scnling at his com
'mand. Many men who know Arnst
and have seen him scull have express
ed the unanimous opinion that Barry
has not the ghost Of a chance. How
ever, as these men have never seen
Barry scull but have formed their
opinion generally on what has appear
ed in print. 1t cannot in the present
case have any value whatever
There is also no doubt that owing TO
his enormous strength Arnst can pro-
pei boat at a great pace. And, again,
this Is no proof that he can stay. AS a
cyclist it was known that he could stay
all day. and he may possibly do so as
a sculler, but If Barry takes him be-
yond his pace in the last mile he viii
be a beaten man. And why? Because
Barry is waterman to his finger
tips. AS a sculler, quite apart from
any other athletic exercise, he is in
class by himself He knows all the
fnesse OF the game. He Is as much
at home in choppy water as in smooth
He cannot only go at a great pace,
but can also stay at it, although his
greatest pace may perhaps not be
quite SO fast as Arnsts All the ex-
perts who have seen Berry at work

Across the nat the vino drove IN
fury. Reflection, thought and reason
were beginning to leave her. She was
crying to herself quietly as she used
to cry when she lost herself, a mere
child, riding among the hills. She
was praying meaningless words. Snow
purred softly on her cheeks. The cold
was soothing her senses. Unable at
last to keep her seat on the horse,
she stopped him, slipped stifiy to the
ground, and, struggling through the
wind as she held fast to the bride and
the horn, half walked and half ran to
start the blood through her benumbed
veins. She struggled until she could
drag her mired feet no farther, and
tried to draw herself back into the
saddle. It was almost beyond her.
She sobbed and screamed at her help
lessness. At last she managed to
climb flounderingly back into her seat,
and, bending her stiffened arms to
Jim's neck, she moaned and cried to
him. When again she could hold her
seat no longer, she fell to the horses
side, dragged herself along in the
frozen slush, and, screaming with the
pain Of her freezing hands, drew her
salf I'm into tho saddle
She knew that she dare not venture
this again-that II she did so she
could never remount. She felt now
that she should never live to reach
Medicine Bend. She rode on and on
and on-would 1t never end? Then
came a sound like the beating Of great
drums In her ears. It was the crash
Of Jim's hoofs on the river bridge,
and she was in Medicine Bend.
A horse, galloping low and heavily
slued through the snow from Fort
street into Bonsy, and, where It had
so often stopped before, dashed up on
the sidewalk IN front of the little
shop. The shock was too much for Its
unconscious rider, and, shot headlons
from her saddle, Dicksie was hunl
bruised and SOnssless against Mari
on's door.

DlckSIe'S Ride.

When Lance Dunning entered the
room ten minutes later Dicksie stood
at the telephone; but the ten minutes
Of that interval had made quite an
other creature Of his cousin. The
wires were down and no one from any
quarter gave a response to her frantic
ringing. Through the receiver she
could hear only the sweep Of the rain
and the harsh erack1e of the wind.
Sometimes praying, sometimes fainting
and sometimes despairing, she stood
clinging to the instrument, ringing
and pounding upon 1t like one fren-
zied. Lance looked at her in amaze
ment why, God almighty, D.cksie,
what's the natter"
Re called twice to her before she
turned, and her words almost stunned
him: why did you not detain Sim
clair here tonight? Why did you not
arrest him."
! Lance's sombrero raked heavily to
one side of his face, and one end o.
his mustache running up much higher
, on the other, did not begin to express
, his establishment. Arrest him? Ar
rest Sinclair? Dicksie, are you crazy
Why the devil should l arrest Sin

think l want to get killed? The level

Of trouble, and the man who succeeds
let me tell you, has got more thai
plenty to do"
Lance, getting no answer but
fierce, searching gaze from Dicksiei
wild eyes, laid his hand on a chair
lighted cigar, and sat down befor,
the fire. DickSie dropped the tele
phone receiver, put her hand to he
girdle, and looked at him. When sh,
spoke her tone was singing. "Yol
know that man Is going to Medicin
Bend to kill his wife,"
Lance took the cigar from his moutl
and returned her look. 81 know n

He stared without reply.

She Took No Chances.

A happily welded matron is the
principal of an odd incident, which
one of her dear" friends relates.
Before the matron's engagement to
her present husband was announced,
she met her dear" friend on the
street. The new matron was hurrying
toward one OF the large jewelry stores
of the city.
John gave me an engagement ring"
she explained, without a shadow Of
embarrassment, ''and am going down
to see how much it cost. You see,
got the jewelers. name of the box"
and she hurried on.
The same friend said that another
bit of information the matron got was
the commercial standing Of the pros
pective husband, which she secured
by paying for a special report from
a commercial agency.
