took long drink of water from the
pitcher beside his bed. and gathered
up the train Of thought where he had
left 1t the night before He reviewed
the easement Of the financial strain.
Things were mending at last While
the going was still rough. the greatest
dangers were already past
His mind moved on to the incident
at the corner Of the bar of the Par
thenon. when the young athlete had
turned his hand down. He was no
longer stunned by the event. but he
was shocked and grieved. as only a
strong man can be. at this passing of
his strength. He had always looked
upon this strength of his as perman-
ent and here. for years. 1t had been
steadily oozing from him. AS he had
diagnosed it. he had come in from un-
der the stars to roost In the coops Of
cities. He had almost forgotten how
to walk. He had lifted up his feet
and been ridden around in automo-
biles. cabs and carriages. and electric
cars. He had not exercised, and he
had dry-rotted his, muscles with alco-
hol. And was 1t worth It? What did
all his money mean after all? Dede
was right. 1t could buy him no more
than one bed at a time. and at the
same time it had made him the abject.
est of slaves. 1t tied him fast. Which
was better? he asked himself. All

cocktail there, and two or three when
he encountered men he knew. 1t was
after an hour or so of this that he
dropped into the bar of the Parthenon
for one last drink before going to din
ner BY this time all his being was
pleasantly warmed by the alcohol, and
he was in the most genial and best Of
spirits. At the corner of the bar sew
eval young men were up to the old
trick Of resting their elbows and at
tempting to force each others hands
down. One broad-shouldered young
giant never removed his elbow, but
put down every hand that came
against him. Daylight was interested.
TITS Slosson," the barkeeper told
him, in answer to his query. He's
the heavy-hammer thrower at the u.
c. Broke all records this year, and
the worlds record on top Of 1t. He's
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 flutter, son, on
that proposition" he said.
The young man laughed and locked
hands with him; and to Daylight's as
constituent 1t was his own hand that
was forced down on the bar.
Hold on" he muttered. Just one
more flutter reckon wasn't just
ready that time"
Again the hands locked. 1t happen
ed quickly. The offensive attack Of
Daylight's muscles slipped instantly
into defence, and, resisting vainly, his
hand was forced over and down. Day
light was dazed. 1t had been no trick.
The skill was equal, or, if anything,
