Some boxers are the greatest knock
ers to the game, themselves. They
are the kind who go about taking
contests, but luckily for the game
there are not many of them. 1t seems
strange that when new field is
opened for the sport there are always
a number Of these interruptions

information at hand from gay Paree

-'One of the wonders of Europe is
the manner IN which the Partisan

Of the same medicine. This week at

Bernard easily beat George Gunther
in a style which would have earned
Gunthers perpetual disqualification
had the bout been staged at a repu-
formidable proposition when at his
best, but against Bernard he showed
like a novice and whatever purse
money he got for his performance
was more than enough Bernard
boxed as though he knew Gunther
was not trying and was easily the
best boxer of the pair. a solution
Of the puzzle is forthcoming in the
fact that Bernard viii now be matched
with Marcel MOreau, match he would
not have got had he been beaten

Another rotten contest was that
in which Henri Piet beat Sid Stage

punches until the last few rounds
when it was too late and was well
beaten on points.

yincing that their writer has practi-

himself the reputation that he is hand
in-glove with all the important per-
sonages Of the courts Of Europe and
has access behind the scenes in all the
great political dramas. Therefore it
was that, when lie Queux let 1t be
known that he had up his sleeve a
story Of the mysterious disappearance
Of a lady Of high degree. The Daily

also anxious to see lower class life in
London, and one evening l took her 20

ION Monday, October IA, she re-
ceived a mysterious telegram, and re-
mitted 600 by telegraph tor bank IN
Wiesbaden. Again, on the following
day, in consequence Of another urgent
telegram, she RENTED another 100.
Two days later she received a letter
from a person in Milan which caused
her great agitation-terror, it seemed
TO me. / inquired the reason Of her
agitation, and she replied: 'Ah. you
do not know. They want all my
money. | must leave London al once"
" She begged me to find the next
train to Cologne, and wired to the
Hotel Arnst, in that city, TO secure a
room. At 2:30 o'clock that afternoon,
accompanied by my friend, who was an
old friend Of hers. | saw her off from
Charing Cross, and she promised TO
communicate with me upon business
matter. Next day l received a tele

baroness at Wiesbaden and heard that
she knew nothing Of her. Inquiries
were at once made in Cologne, and it
was discovered that before receiving

dressed to her house in the Kaiseralle,
in Berlin, and had left for home. Since
she left Cologne in the express for Ber-
lin nothing has been seen or heard OF
her. In her possession was about t45O

she carried jewelry worth about $4,000.
The German and Italian police were

been made TO trace her, but without

Inquiries made in Berlin by the "Lo-

that Mr.. lie Queux's Baroness Won
Lanzenhofen was in reality Ellen
