PAPkE GETS DECISION.
Jack (Twin) Sullivan Loses to Kew
anee Thunderbolt in Interesting
M;x

Boston, June 22-Billy Papke got
the decision over Jack (Twin) Sulli-
ivan at the end Of their twelve round
bout at the Armory Athletic associa-
ton last night. It was Papke's bout
from the first bell, and although Sui
livan was the favorite with the fans,
he never had a look in. The fight was
far from being a one sided affair, for
Sullivan was game to the end and kept
his opponent on the jump from first to
last compelling him to earn his laurels
The excessive heat caused both men q
lot Of suffering and made the fighting
much slower than it might otherwise
have been.

one of them had ever fingered in his
fancy beyond couple of hours.
And now here was this girl, mere
schoolgirl, with pair of dark eyes
who persisted in haunting him. He
went over everything she had said to
him; she had not thrown him civil
word. Civil word! She had been
downright rude-had taken herself off
to bed without waiting to wish him
good night!
A bit of a girl, with dark hair and
long lashes. with manners which
would have given his titled and ex-
/ quisite relations fit
! And yet he could not get her out of

ears-"Dolores, Lorrie!"
/ What had happened to him? Was he
/ bewitched? Was it the fact that his
/ lips had touched her face that had
/ worked the charm?
! Hot and excited, he rode into the
barrack yard. His man, fast asleep ON
an upturned wheelbarrow, came for
ward rubbing his eyes and when he
had rubbed the sense of sight back in
to them, took the bride with one
hand, and handed his master card
with the other.
What is it, Rawlings?"
Gentleman called and left his card
captain
Lord Guy went up to his room and
took the card to the light.
The name was "Mr Seymour Mel

With start he dropped the card
on the table and gazed at it, and in
stinctively his hand went to his
breast and he took out the letter OF
his father

gotten! l am clean off my head to-
night"
Then with frown and an ejacula
ton that was not remarkable for its
piety. he flung the card into the card
basket, and throwing himself into a
chair. seized a pipe.
Dolores, Lorrie!"

raise the family name from the mire
and mud of poverty into which it has
sunk, and I know that shall not look
I IN vain. 1t is your duty. my dear Guy

This is what his father had written
and it was true! 1t was true! Every
man has his duty, and it was his to
marry money!
