Il agree" said Courtlandt.
No rounds with rests; until one or
the other is outside. Clean breaks
That's about ALL Now put up your
dukes and take a mans licking.
| thought you were your fathers son,

Courtlandt laughed and stepped to
the middle of the court. Harrigan
did not waste any time. He sent in
a straight jab to the jaw, but Court
landt blocked it neatly and countered
with hard one on Harrigans ear,
which began to swell.
'Fine!" growled Harrigan. You
know something about the game. 1t
won't be as if | was walloping a
baby" He sent a left to the body,
but the right failed to reach his man.
For some time Harrigan jabbed and
swung and uppercut; often he
reached his opponents body, but
never his face. 1t worried him little
| to find that he could not stir Court
landt more than two or three feet.
| Courtlandt never followed up any adj
vantage, thus making Harrigan force
the fighting, which was rather to his
| liking. But presently it began to
enter his mind convincingly that
apart from the initial blow, the
/ younger man was working wholly on
| the defensive. As if he were afraid
| he might hurt him, This served to
make the old fellow furious. He
bored in right and left, left and right
! and Courtlandt gave way, step by
step, until he was SO close to the line
that he could see it from the corner
of his eye. This glance, swift as 1t
1t. IAfY,
/ Harrigan caught him with a terrible
right on the jaw. 1t was a glancing
blow otherwise the fight would have
ended then and there. Instantly he
lurched forward and clenched be-
fore the other could add the finishing
touch.
The two pushed about, Harrigan
fiercely striving to break the younger
mans hold. He was beginning to
breathe hard besides A little longer
and his blows would lack the proper
steam. Finally Courtlandt broke
away of his own accord. His head
buzzed a little. but aside from that
! he had recovered Harrigan pur-
sued his tactics and rushed. But this
/ time there was an offensive return.
! Courtlandt became the aggressor.
! There was no withstanding him. And
| Harrigan fairly saw the end. but
with that indomitable pluck which
] had made him famous in the annals
of the ring. he kept banging away.
! The swift cruel jabs here and there
upon his body began to tell. oh, for
a minutes rest and piece of lemon
on his parched tongue! Suddenly
Courtlandt rushed him tigerishly,
! landing a jab which closed Harri-
CANS right eye. Courtlandt dropped
his hands and stepped back. His
glance Travelled suggestively to Har-
rigan's feet. He was outside the
ropes"
Il beg Your pardon, Mr.. Harrigan,
| for losing my temper"
whats the odds? ! lost mine.
You win" Harrigan was a true
sportsman He had no excuses to
offer. He had dug the pit of humilia
ton with his own hands. He recog-
nized this as one of two facts. The
other was, that had Courtlandt ex-
tended himself. the battle would have
lasted about one minute 1t was gall

"And now. you ask for explana

them" Courtlandt pulled off the

attentions. leave for Milan in the

of victory without further comment.

to gather up the gloves. Anyone
would say that he was the injured
party. I'm in wrong on this deal

James, where did you get that

"That you, Nora?" blinking.

He raised the lid of the trunk and
cast in the gloves haphazard. And

squinted at it, for he could not see
very well. Nora was leaving the room
in temper.
Going, Nora?"
81 am. And I advise you to have
your dinner in your room"
Alone, he turned on the light. 1t
never occurred to him that he might
be prying into some of Nora's private
correspondence. He unfolded the
parchment and held 1t under the
| light. For a long time he stared at
the writing, which was in English,
at the date, at the names. Then he
quietly refolded it and put it away
for future use, immediate future use.
