CRISIS OF his LIFE
Great Sacrifice of Chinaman and
AWe-Inspiring Sign in
Vermilion.
BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN


A beautiful young girl sat at an
open window gazing out upon a gar.
den redolent with lilac bloom. Her
hands were ~clasped, her eyes fixed
upon the full moon sailing on in silver
state, her souls thoughts going forth
to her lover at the other end OF the
world.
She was Agnes Norton, and the per-
son upon whom her heart centered
was Wade Latham, author and art
list. Once he had been a law reporter,
and quite incidentally had acquired in
formation upon which rested the vital
issues Of the great Norton will case.
The Norton family rose or fell on the
final decision upon that noted htiga-
ton. 1t was now appealed to the high
est court, and General Norton was
sure that the newly discovered evf-
dence Of young Latham would turn
the scales Of justice in his favor.
It was natural on account Of this
that Agnes and Wade should meet.
1t was just as natural that they

one another. No engagement existed
between them, but when they had last
parted the farewell meeting Of their
eyes told both that their hearts and
their future were united.
The Norton case would not come
up for a year. Wade had an offer
from a publication to invade central
China and bring back something new
from pen and pencil to give to the
world. Success in this effort meant,
further, a recognition by the Academy
of Design. 1t was a great commission
for a young man and Wade ambitious
ly undertook it's execution.
A year had nearly gone by. Agnes
had not heard from her lover for near.
ly three months. The will case came
up in thirty days. The general was
anxious and worried. And Agnes sat
dreaming of Wade at the other end
of the world.
She pictured him among great tenn.

tanate family had, indeed, induced
him to part with nearly all his surplus
stock of money.
"Since them continued Kwang Lo,
the evil mandarins, thinking you had
money, have imprisoned you in the
hopes Of winning the bride ransom
you could not pay. Last night my
kinsman here enabled you to escape
from jail. They will seek you every
where. From here two hundred miles
across the mountains to Beiro, IL you
are seer it Is death for you. They
have sent for me, the high n of the
family, to get you beyond peril. and
because for some great reason that
is not u affair you must be In your
native land speedily"
"But have no means to pursue my
journey from Beiro to Canton" sug-
gested Wade.
They shall be provided" quietly as
sured Kwang Lo.
Master, within your case-open it."
spoke the other native.
Wade did as directed. Kwang 10
reached within 1t and drew from
among the colored pencils a wood en-
cased crayon Of vermilion hue.
"Give 1t to me-" he directed. 1T
shall be your safe conduct. Within
an hour be prepared for the jour
ney."
True to his promise Kwang 10 re
appeared shortly with a two-wheeled
push cart holding a close wicker box
top. Across this was a broad sheet
Of bamboo bearing some Chinese let
tiers in bright vermilion.
In an instant Wade knew what this
meant. The royal sign manual was
always written with a vermilion pen
Gil. Kwang 10 intended to force a
safe conduct to Beiro by deluding the
natives with that counterfeit awe-in-
spring sign manual Of the ruler Of
the realm.
Within that wicker covert Wade
Latham was conveyed to Beiro. When
1t was opened he found himself in the
real room Of a Chinese pawn shop.
Kwang Lo had dlsrobed to the waist.
Encircling him was a band Of gold,
heavy and unbroken, bearing. native
characters. There vas some talk be-
tween him and the keeper of the shop.
Then money passed, and Kwang Lo
came forward and placed in Wade's
hand a sum equal to two hundred
American dollars.
"You are safe to travel hence to
Canton" he said-"you can return to
your native land as soon as money
can speed you now"
But this money"

slave Of the shop keeper until ! am
redeemed" was the explanation. "The
family %circlet, sacred for generations
surely my family will not allow it to
pass to others at my death! But that
is naught to you. l am the sacrifice
I glory in thus doing for the man who
saved my kinsman!"
That sublime sacrifice was first In
the thoughts of Wade Latham when he
landed on American soil. AS quickly
as ne could reach his friends sKlore
than the amount necessary to redeem
Kwang Lo and his family talesman
was transmitted to Beiro to make OF
him a free a
In time to act as a witness in the
great lawsuit and to see it won for
General Norton, honored and famous
through his contributions to science
and literature, Wade Latham gained a
still richer prize after all his perilous
adventures-the hand of loyal, happy
Agnes Norton.

HIS WIFE
McCarty Says sssNo," but Seems
to Be Worried.
She Peels Potatoes in Saloon
Restaurant, Report Says.

Los Angeles. Calf, Jan. 2.-That
Luther McCarty, the new world s
heavyweight champion, is charged
with deserving his wife and child in
Fargo, N. D., was the surprising news
received in Los Angeles less than an
hour after McCarty had defeated Pal
Ter in the Vernon arena.
From st. Paul came the following
telegram: e.s,, -
In Fargo the wife of Luther Nc
Carly is peeIing potatoes in the kitch-
en- of a saloon restaurant to earn q
living for herself and baby while
Luther is battling for thousands
When McCarty had this telegram
read to him in the Ship hotel at We
nice where he was making merry
with many friends, he admitted that
the story was true only inasmuch as
he had left wife and baby in the
east.
''It isn't true though, that I desert
ed Them" said the new champion.
After the fight with Al Kaufman I
sent her $50 and when I beat Flynn
reraitted her 800. I intend to keep
on supporting her and doing every
thing that a man should do.
Cant you keep this story out of
the papers for me asked McCarty.
When told that the story had been
sent broadcast over the country Nc
Carly showed signs of great worry.

the ring, it appeared that the end was
near for Palzer. The Iowan rallied,
however, and poked his left to Nc
Carty's face and the cowboy again sent
him back with well placed blows to the
stomach. Palzer was hanging on when
the bell rang. Palzer was all but out
at the end of the round.
Round seventeen-Pa1zer was groggy
round but there was no doubt of his
ment appeared to be his sole asset.
McCarty put two rights to the jaw, fol-
lowed with straight lefts to the injured
eye. A short uppercut to the jaw al
most finished Palzer and the Iowan
hung on with his eyes half closed.
Palzer hit McCarty low and the referee
cautioned Palzer. A crashing right
hook to the jaw followed by a left
swing to the other side OF his head
made Palzer hang on. McCarty flirted
with Palzer's manager as the 1owan
chung to his apparently hopelessly de-
feated man. Palzer could hardly find
his corner at the bell.
Round eighteen-PalZer stumbled into
a terrific left hook and hung on to
McCarty's shoulder. McCarty shot a
hard left to the jaw and played a ter
rifle tattoo on Palzer's body. The blood
flowed from Palzer's eyes and mouth
as McCArty shot two terrific straight
lefts to his head. AS Pa1zer staggered
about b1indly Referee Eyton rushed to
McCarty and lifted the Missour1an's
hand as a sign that the Iowan was Of

Work at LeavenwOrth.

LeaVenworth, Kan, Jan. 2.-Peeling
potatoes in the kitchen, carpentering
and constructing steel buildings at the
/ federal prison here were some of the
regular duties assigned today to the
! 80 labor union officials convicted in the
dynamite plots. Olaf A. Tveitmoe, the
Pacific coast labor leader and editor,
was assigned to do kitchen work. among
| his first duties being to peel potatoes.
Dressed in the gray prison uniform,
marked No. S426, Tveitmoe, a man
weighing go pounds, who has figured
largely in labor union movements in
California put on an apron and began
at once to help prepare the prison noon
meal.
Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the
Iron Workers union, whose sentence of
years was the heaviest of all, was
assigned to work in the carpenter shop.
Although an iron worker it was thought
best because of his age to give him
work comparatively light.
Also assigned to the kitchen, Her
bert S. Hockin, THE Iago of the dyna-
mite conspiracy CARRIED in uniform
with the red figures ''8425' upon his
back was handed a mop and put to
work swabbing the floors.
Because of his feeble physical condi-
ton Henry w. Legleitner, Denver, one
of the iron workers executive board
members, was given out door work. He
will assist in the manufacture of bricks
for new prison buildings.
Peter J. Smith, Cleveland. another
iron worker, also was assigned to duties
in the carpenters shop.
Another Iron Worker union official,
who was taken off his trade was

decided to allow him to work in the
store room.

Only about 20 of the prisoners were
assigned to their permanent duties to-
day.

in the Arkansas valley have been ask
ed by Secretary Sam Gallagher, of the
Dodge City Driving Park association,
to send representatives to Dodge Janu-
arv is. to organize an Arkansas valley
racing circuit.
The movement has been afoot for
some time. DR.. w. o. Thompson, OF
Dodge, has talked with all the leading

Wildcat Outfights and Outboxes

nue Athletic club in the Labor tenn
nile. saws Claude Johnson in the Star,
and was easily entitled to the deci-
sion. He got it, too, for when Referee
Bates raised aloft the right arm OF
the wildcat" in token of victory
there was not dissenting voice.
Brewer did not earn the advantage in
any one of the ten rounds. while only
one session could be classed as even.
Some will say that it was not a
great battle and possibly this is true.
It takes two men to make a good
fight, and Brewer, evidently suffer-
ing from the cold, ran in under
cover" at every opportunity. To the
writer it looked as though Ferns
fought with great judgment and put
up the best battle of his career. Pos
sibIv he looked better because Brewer
did not race up to his advertised
form.
1t was a bloodless bout and not
knockdown was scored in the ten
fought in the majority of the rounds
desperately fought by the wild
cat We will take back that
s.biood1ess, for the ruby did triclzle
through Brewers lips at times, and
at the finish he showed a cut over
his right eye. The Hurst entry was
unmarked.
Ferns Outboxed Brewer.
The surprising part of the bout was
the fact that Ferns outboxed his OPP
ponent. Brewer had been touted to
the clouds as a boxer par excellence,
but after the third round Ferns start
ed after him with straight iefts, a
punch which Brewer found no de-
Tense for. AT times Brewer tried the
jabbing game himself, but he always
was met with a shower of blows in
the midsection and after the fifth
round it was apparent to the specta-
tors that Harry was willing to stick
the ten rounds and let 1t go at that.

looking groggy. McCarty's round.
Round seven-PaIzer sent three
lefts to the face and McCarty retaliat-
ed with hard right to the stomach in
the clinch that followed McCarty
drove terrific right to Palzers jaw
nearly throwing him off his feet. Two
straight leftS in rapid succession sent
Palzer's head back and McCarty fol-
lowed with a volley of swings to the
face. Palzer reached McCarty's jaw

back with right hook to the chin.
Palzer's left ear bled. Both went to
their corners laughing. McCarty's
