WOLGAST. T.R|TCH|E
BOUT EXC|TES FANS
IN San FRANCISCO
First-Class Matches Are
Scarce on Pacific
Coast.

The boxing fans Of San Francisco are
all agog over the coming lightweight
championship bout between Ad wolgast
and Willie Richie on Thanksgiving
Day afternoon. First-class matches on
the Pacific Coast are Just as scarce at
present as they are in the East. and
the fans are all primed for the big
event. The prevailing opinion seems to
be that wolgast will come out on top.
despite the possibility that he has gone
back to some extent. Although Ritchie
demonstrated in his four-round en-
counter with Wolgast that he Ii more
clever than the champion, It is not
thought that he will be able to with
stand the titleholder's assaults for twen-
ty rounds.
Richie is not built on rugged lines.
He will be forced to reduce to 133
pounds ringside. which may tend to
weaken him, as his best figure Is 135
pounds. At one time Richie did most
OF his boxing while Weighing close to
40, but he claims to have grown
lighter lately.

down and drew it across her knees and
took stock of the room.
The cabin was built of logs, the
room was large, perhaps IL by 20 feet,
with one side completely taken up by
the stone fireplace; there were two
windows, one on either side Of the
outer door, which opened toward the
southwest. The walls were unplaster-

left the latch, it fell gently, he drew
back and turned away trembling, q
c~onqueror who mastered himself. He
was awake to the truth again.
What had he been ABOUT to do? Pro-
fame, unlimited, the sanctity of her
chamber, violate the hospitality of his
own house? Even with a proper mo-
tive, imperil his self-respect, shatter
her trust, endanger that honor which
so suddenly became a part of him on
demand? She would not probably
know; she could never know unless
she awoke. What of that? That an
cient honor of his life and race rose
like a mountain whose scarped face
cannot be scaled. z
He fell back with a swift turn, a
feeling almost womanly; and more

mime isolation, as s~elf-centered as
women are SO often by necessity,

influenced him, overcame him. His
hand went to his hunting shirt. Nerv-
ously he tore it open; he grasped a
bright object that hung against his
breast. AS he did so, the thought came
to him that not before in five years
had he been for a moment uncon-
scious of the pressure Of that locket
over his heart, but now that this 9TH
er had come, he had to seek for 1t to
find it.
The man dragged it out, held 1t In
his hand and opened it. He held 1t so
tightly that 1t almost gave beneath
the strong grasp of his strong hand.
From a nearby box he drew another
object with his other hand. He took
the two to the light, the soft light OF
the candle upon the table, and stared
from one to the other with eyes brim-
ming.
Like crystal gazers, he saw other
things than those presented to the
casual vision. He heard other sounds
than the beat of the rain upon the
roof. the roar of the wind down the
canon. A voice that he had sworn
he would never forget, but which, God
forgive him, had not now the clearness
that it might have had yesterday,
whispered awful words to him.
Anon he looked into another face,
red, too, with 10 hue from the hearth
or leaping flame, but red with the
blood Of CHASTITY wounds. He heard
again that report, the roar louder and
more terrible than any peal of thun'
der that rived the clouds above his
head and made the mountains quake
and tremble. He vas conscious again
Of the awful stiffness Of death that su

low-and he loved her. God pity him,
fighting against fact and admission OF
it, yet how could he help 1t?
He had loved once before in his life
with the fire of youth and spring, but
it was not like this. He did not rec
ognize this new passion in any light
from the past; therefore he would not
admit it. Hence, he did not under
stand it. But he saw and admitted
and understood enough to know that
the past was no longer the supreme
subject in his life, that the present
rose higher, bulked larger and hid
more and more of his far-off horizon.
He fe,t like a knave and a traitor,
as If he had been base, disloyai, false
to his ideal, recreant to his remem-
brance. Was he indeed a true man?
Did he have that rugged strength, that
abiding faith, that eternal conscious
ness, that lasting affection, beside
which the rocky paths he often trod
| were things transient, perishable, ev-
anescent? Was he a weakling that he
fell at the first sight of another
woman?
He stopped his c~easeless pace for
ward and backward, and stopped near
that frail and futile door. She was
there and there was none to prevent.
His hand sought the latch.
What was he about to do? God for
bid that a thought he could not freely

brain then. He held all women sacred,

Men had gone mad in ~hermitages in
the mountains, they had been driven
insane in lonely GASES in vast des
erts; and they had peopled their soil
tude with men and women. Was this
some working Of a d~isordered brain, toe
too much turned upon itself and with
too tremendous a pressure upon it
producing an illusion? Was there In
truth any woman there? He would
raise the latch and open the door and
look. Once more the hand went stealth

Over the fireplace and around on n
side ran a rude shelf covered with
books. She had no opportunity to ex-
anime them, although later she would
become familiar with every one Of
them.
Into the walls on the other side
were driven wooden pegs; from some
of them hung a pair Of snow shoes, a
heavy Winchester rife, fishing tackle
and other necessary wilderness para
phernalia. On the puncheon floor wolf
and bear skins we're spread. In one
corner against the wall again were
piled several splendid pairs of horns
from the mountain sheep.
The furniture consisted of the single
bed or berth in which she had slept,
built against the wall in one of the
corners, a rude table on which were
writing materials and some books.
A row Of curtained shelves, evidently
made Of small boxes and surmounted
by a mirror, occupied another space.
There we're two or three chairs, the
handiwork Of the owner, comfortable
enough in spite Of their rude construc-
ton. On some other pegs hung a
slicker and a sou'wester, a fur over
coat, a fur cap and other rough clothes;
a pair of heavy boots stood by the
fireplace. On another shelf there were
a number of scientific instruments, the
nature of which she could not deter
mine. although she could see that they
were all in a beautiful state of pres
ervation.
There was plenty Of rude comfort in
thereon, which was excessively man
nish. In fact. there was nothing any
where which in any way spoke Of the
existence of woman-except a picture
in a small, rough, wooden frame which
stood on the table before which she
sat down. The picture was of a hand

sister, Mrs. Don Reeves of Sedalia,
from whom he had been separated
since he was a few months old. When

she had been married at Des Moines
