Bisbee daily review., 1911-11-24

c. Broke all records this year, and the worlds record on top of 1t. He's a husky all right all right
 Daylight nodded and went over to him. placing his own arm in opposi- ton
 'I'd like to go you hutter, son, on that proposition" he said.
 The young man laughed and locked hands with him: and to Daylishts as- tonishment t was his own hand that was foreed flown on the bar.
 Hold on, he muttered. Just one more futfer 1 reckon I wasn't just ready that tine"
 AgRin the hands locked. It happen ed quickly. The offensive attack of Daylight's muscles slipped instantly into defence, and, Eesisting vainly his hand was forced over and down Day light was dazed. It had been no trick The skill was equal, or if anything, the superior skill had been his Strength, sheer strength, had done it. He called 9for the drinks, and, still dazed and pondering. held up his own arm and looked at it as at some new strange thing He did not know this arm. It certainly was not the arm he had carried around with him all the years. The old arm? Why. it would have been play to turn down that young husky's. But this arm-he con- tinued to look at it with such dubious perplexity as 10 bring a roar of laugh ter from the young men.
 This laughter aroused him. He joined in it at first. and then his face slowly grew grave He leaned to- ward the hammer-thrower
 Son." he said, let me whisper a secret Get out of here and quit drinking before you begin.
 The young fellow flushed augriIy, but Daylight held steadily on.
 You listen to your dad, and let him say a few. I'm young man my self, only I ain't. Let me tell you, several years ago for me to turn your hand down would have been like com hitting assault and battery on kin dergarten."
 Slosson looked his inoTedulity. while the others grinned and clustered around Daylight encouragingly
 Son, ain't gwen to preaching. This Is the first time ! ever come to the penitent form. and you put me there yourself-hal. I've seen a few 10 my time. and I ain't fastidious so as you can notice it But let me tell you right now that I'm worth tho devil alone knows how many millions. and that I'd sure giTe it all. right here on the bar, to turn down your hand. Which means I'd give the whole shoot ing match just to be back where I was before quit sleeping under the stars and come into the hen-coOps of cities to drink cocktails and lift up my feet and ride. Son. that's what's the matter with me, and that's the way feel about it. The game ain't worth the candle. You just take care of your- self, and roll my advice over once iD while. Good night"
 He turned and lurched out of the place. the moral effect of his utter Rnce largely spoiled by the fact that he was so patently full while he ut tered it.
 still in daze, Daylight made to his hotel. accomplished his dinner, and prepared for bed.
 "The damned young Vhippersnap- perl" be muttered Put my hand down easy as you please. My hand."
 He held up the offending member and regarded it with stupid wonder. The hand that had never been bestenl The hand that had made the Circle City giants wincel And a kid from college. with a laugh on bis face, had put it down--twicei Dede was right. He was not the same man. The situs- lion would bear more serious looking into than he had ever given it. But th.s gas not the ulns. h the morn.
