ant attractiveness, and hattered by
her bold and artful pursuit OF him.
She had thought TO amuse herself In
her dreary. wretched, sordid life by
his fresh, frank, open admiration. The
womans drunken husband had cared
little at first; but lately. under the
jibes, sneers, and innuendos of his
companions, he had become fiercely
Jealous. Then in maudlin fury he had
forbidden the boy the house, and had
sworn that he would kill him on
sight
The woman thereupon swiftly made
up her mind TO break the thraldom Of
her matrimonial bond, and in the
young strangers company or by his
agency TO leave the country. She
neither desired nor intended TO be
tied TO the boy half dozen years
younger than she.
Once in civilization II would be
easy to break away from him, she
knew. Thereafter she had no fear
but with her beauty, her wit, and her
courage. with her utter unscrupulous-
ness, she could make her way In the
east which she had never seen. And
this was the night on which they had
agreed to take their departure.
Since her husbands wild outbreak
Of jealousy, she had seen the boy only
once. In that surreptitious interview
they had concocted their plans. Her
husband spent the greater part Of the
nights, whenever he had any money,
in gambling and drinking at the sa-
loon. BY lucky chance a short time
before in an all night trial with For

New Orleans, La, Dec 4.-Joe Man
dot of New Orleans earned the decision
over Grover Hayes, the Chicago light
weight. yesterday afternoon before the
West Side Athletic club after twenty
rounds of the hardest fighting seen in
New Orleans since this city's old prize
fight days A crowd of 5000 saw the
scrap, and all Were pleased with the
verdict of Referee Harry Stout
The first two rounds of the fight were
little tame, each man seemingly try
ing to feel the other out. In the third
round Hayes started to rush matters.
and Mandot also began to bore in They
mixed things in the fourth. fifth and
sixth without either getting badly
mussed up.
In the seventh round Mandot almost
doubled Hayes in two with body blow
but was slow to follow his advantage,
and willy Grover covered and -c1inched
during the remainder of the round to
save himself from further punishment.
This was the only chance for knock
. out that cropped out in the whole fight.
= Hayes seconds worked on him dill
gently when he went to his corner and
when he came out for the eighth round
he was greatly refreshed and started to
fight like a bulldog. They mixed it
furiously from then on. In the tenth
round Hayes mouth and his right eye
were bleeding from Mandot's vicious
punches.
