meekly followed by the squire. who
had not yet recovered from his aston
ishment, Bob left the saloon
Haggin had been a prize6ghter and
a successful one. History records how
he fought a twenty round draw-bare
fsts-With DOnneIly. the heavyweight
champion Of the world At the zenith
Of his career he abandoned the ring and
invested his last purse in an Irishtown
saloon. And Irishtown counted it an
honor to buy its drinks from the only
man that had ever given Dennelly a
hard fight So that Haggtn waxed
prosperous and sported many dia-
monds. It was a natural result Of his
popularity and business that he should
go into politics He developed a GER
tain crude genius for the game He
was good natured-when not opposed
He knew how to be generous, when to
be generous was a good policy. And
he learned to organize his henchmen.
But beneath all were his fame and
skill as a fighter. Consequently he
became the undisputed autocrat Of
things political in the Fourth ward
Now the average American, especial
" the Irish-American. loves fair play
and has a sneaking admiration for the
under dog. Bob already had a certain
personal following. which nucleus he
began systematically to augment

Their reproofs, mildly administered.
were received with an Indifference and
cool surprise that robbed them Of all
possible good effect
With fear and trembling Patrick
sent him to the ward school The
fear was justified by the results. The
boy proved himself bright enough to
master mis- Iessons-when he chose. It
was rarely. however, his choice to
study. he preferred TO fight and to
drive his schoolmates into mischief.
He became the bully Of the school
His schooling came to an abrupt end
when be was thirteen years old. To
punish an unusually fragrant act Of
instruction his teacher called in the
aid Of the principal. q stout, pompous
young man who was BOb's pet aver
sion The principal had no more than
seized the rattan when Bob suddenly
snatched it from him and belabored
the astOnished pedagogue with it so
fiercely that he fed the room in dis
may. Bob then took his cap and babe
farewell to school forever
By this feat Patrick was at last
nerved to his duty That night be
gave Bob a severe thrashing, which
the boy, with white face and set teeth,
quietly endured When.it was over he
said:
q take it this time. Pat because it's
from you. But nobody will ever lick
me again And now I'm through with

The next day Bob entered the con

Office, where a cherub in brass buttons
stood guard and demanded to be
shown into the great mans presence.
He was refused He then threatened
to punch the cherub's head and
evinced such readiness and ability to
