the superior skill had been his.
Strength. sheer strength. had done it.
He called for the drinks. and, still
dazed and bordering, held up his own
arm and looked at 1t as at some new
strange thing He did not know this
arm. 1t 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 1t with such dubious
perplexity as to bring roar of laugh
ter from the young men.
This laughter aroused him. He
joined in 1t at first and then his face
slowly grew grave. He leaned to-
ward the hammer-thrower
Son." he said. let me whisper q
secret. Get out of here and quit
drinking before you begin.
The young fellow flushed angrily.
but Daylight held steadily on.
You listen to your dad. and let
him say few. I'm young man my
self, only | amt. 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

as you can notice it. But let me tell
you right now that I'm worth the devil

that I'd sure give 1t all, right here on

He turned and lurched out of the
place, the moral effect OF his utter
ance largely spoiled by the fact that
he was so patiently full while he ut
tered it.
Still in daze, Daylight made to his
hotel, accomplished his dinner, and
prepared for bed.
"The damned young whippersnap-
peri" he muttered. Put my hand
down easy as you please My hand!"
He held up the offending member
and regarded 1t with stupid wonder.
The hand that had never been beaten!
The hand that had made the Circle
City giants vince! And kid from
college, with laugh on his face, had
put 1t down-twice! Dede was right.
He was not the same man. The situa-
tion would bear more serious looking
into than he had ever given it, But
this was not the time. In the morn
ing, after good sleep, he would give
1t consideration.

this was Dede's own thought. 1t was
what Fhe had meant when she prayed
he would go broke. He held up his
offending right arm. 1t wasn't the
same old arm. OF course she could
not love that arm and that body as
she had loved the strong. clean arm
and body of years before. He didn't
like that arm and body himself. A

suggested by the Peel Challenge Cup
Commission, of Chicago. In a letter

by the Western commission.
The West Hudson manager wrote
back to the Peel commission and sig

Cavanagh's match with F'riol has
created unusual interest, and both
riders have a host of supporters. The
F~renchman, by his great riding and
good craftsmanship in his match
with Krebs, won many admirers. He
will not lack for support in any OF
his races here.
Friol was good in his race with
Krebs, but he will be in even better
form when he meets Cavanagh, al
least so Phil Reese, Friol's trainer
says. and Phil ought to know. as he
is the best handler of cyclists in
