Ernest's letters became fewer and
fewer. In each Minna seemed
to see the severing of another
bond between them. Ernest was
now working On newspaper, or,
rather, he had been working on
newspapers. But he never sent
Minna anything that he had writ
ten; his letters were becoming
more and more distant.
Meanwhile James Farleigh as
sumed control of the business.
The old merchant was now COM
pletely under his sons domin-
ance. That was the year when
James began to pay attention to
Minria- first he visited her to
discuss business matters, then his
visits became more personal. Min
ma became uncomfortable. She
had never liked James, largely be-
cause he slandered Ernest; now
she felt that crisis in their re-
lations was approaching. James
was branching out and charging
his store; he needed capital for
grandiose undertakings. He
would talk by the hour of what
he meant to do when he had turn
ed the business into a company
and gone into Wall street.
One evening he brought the
current OF his speechifying to its
channel. He asked Minna to be
his wife, pointing out the advis-
ability of uniting the capital in
one large undertaking. He hoped
to be enormously rich, he said;
they would spend their honey

In the World of Sport
and THE
ITALIAN TONIGHT

Chicago. Feb. S.-Raymond Cazeau,
Italian heavyweight wrestler, believes
he has a good chance of defeating
zbyszko, the Pole in their match to-
night in Chicago. Further than this
he believes he can upset the Pole in
clean style and with clean wrestling
tactics.
The italian again expressed his dis
gust last night because he had been
warned that the local authorities de-
sire all the rough stuff" cut out. But
this did not diminish the display of
confidence that the Italian displayed.
They do not seem to think that l
am a good wrestler when pitted
against a man of the Poles size and
ability, but i will show them" he said
to a bunch of friends. After once
meeting Zbyszko, / can not say that
II think he is sue a great wrestler,
wrestling skill and knowledge. consid-
cred. There Is one strong point on
which one must commend the Pole.
He knows enough about wrestling to
make his tremendous size. and strength
count in the very best way.
Dangerous? Yes, always, because
he Is fond of clamping a hold on you
and then simply holding with it. He
is so. strong that he can take a mans
vitality in a short time. 1t will be my
aim, however, to keep away from him,
if / can, and try to get him down to
my size inside of three-quarters of an
hour. OF course, he may get me be-
fore that time, but I don't think he
can. I'm mighty glad of the chance to
try my ideas, anyway"

Big FACTOR
"Sand' Cuts a Big Figure in Horse
Racing as In All other Kind of
Sports.

Gameness cuts as big d figure in
horse racing as it does in the prize
ring. No matter how fast a horse
may be and how well handled If he
does not possess gameness . he does
not acquire success as a campatgner.
1t is a popularity of horses that when
one Is beaten by another, the loser will
remember his ~conqueror in future
races.
Flying Jib, one of the fastest PAGERS
of his time, came from Washington
territory in the '89s, and defeated ev-
erything that confronted him until he
met the great Robert j., the pride of
Village Farm. They raced and the
Hamiin horse . won. After this no
matter where they would meet on the
track, Flying Jib would tremble,
dance about and otherwise act frac-
tiously. He knew that Robert J. could
beat him and he was not game enough
to try his best against that horse.
Joe Patchen, also a great PAGER Of
those days, was the opposite nature.
Even though he knew his opponents
,ould beat him he would keep on try
ng until the race was over. This was
/ demonstration of gameness which
many lighters would not give. for
when one scrapper gets licked by an
ether he does not face his conqueror
with such a stout heart Mex time, es-
pecially If the preceding defeat was of
the knockout character.

Mike Murphy.

The announcement that Mike
Murphy had retired from the Uni
xersfty of Pennsylvania as train
er came as a distinct shock to the
admirers of the veteran coach.
But many of his friends are con-
fident that he will be on the job
working out the track men as
soon as the outdoor eason
opens. Murphy has been in poor
health for some time, and after
the close of the football season
last fall he decided to take a long
rest. James e. Sullivan, secretary
of the Amateur Athletic union,
believes that Murphy has years of
active service before him. In a
recent interview Mr.. Sullivan pros
nounced Mike Murphy the great
est trainer in all time, and credit
ed him with developing more
champion athletes than any other
man. Murphy brought out the
wonderful Bernie Wefers, also
John Owens, the first man to run
the century under ten seconds. He
has the faculty of. getting every
man under his charge to- do his
level best, and knows the athletic
game inside and out. 20

L prefer to be known as Miss
Frances, " she said.
She started her camping tour
last March from Withersfeld
Green, Sussex. Her outfit, be-
sides the donkey and cart, con-
sists Of rugs, a few pots and pans
and a small store of provisions.
Since the tour started Miss
Frances has slept outdoors every
night, making her solitary camp
in the woods. She has lived a life
more primitive than a gypsy,
making her fires, cooking simple
meals, and often for days at the
time having no other comrades
than the donkey and the birds.
Last spring she was feeble, dis
contented with her lot in the
world, and thought her days of
life were numbered. Now she is
the picture of health with her
clear, tanned skin and sparkling
blue eyes, and expects to live
many years.
AS she sat in the cart, wearing
a thick, warm coat of ordinary
sacking, with a sheep-skin rug
tucked around her, one thought |
that few men have the pluck to |
rough it as this fragile, paralyz-

though it is possible to do both. Our
erandmothers understood the secret
hey made a sage tea" and their

ers have gray hairs before they are
fifty, but they are beginning to ap-
preciate the wisdom OF our grand
mothers in using sage tea for thetI
