Hercules-back to your place."
She stood pointing sternly toward
the box. but Hercules stretched him

watching her covertly.
The faces of the band boys had be.

From behind the mask came the
voice SO loud that 1t sounded as a
scream-"Up, Samson, up, Samson
up!" "
Then it was that Samson found his
voice mighty roar shook the loose
ly-set bars of the central cage-they
vibrated visibly. The roar did not
come as one short sharp note OF de-
f1ance; it rose and fell, then rose anew,
varying in the infections of the voice

At that fearful reyerberation, the

Hitherto, the last act had been regard

ings. Hitherto, despising the show, re-
bellious at the destiny which had
forced them to attend it, they had
been wholly absorbed in their efforts
to escape observation. The roaring of
the lion startled them to a perception
of the general alarm.
Grace clung to Gregory. "Oh, save
mel" she painted Historically.
The voice of the woman behind the
bars rang throughout the tent-"Sit
down." The voice was not loud, now,
but singularly penetrating. "Sit down,
all of you, and remain absolutely mo-
tionless, or | am lost"
Grace Noir, her eyes closed. her
cheeks pallid, leaned her head upon
Gregory's shoulder, quivering convul-
sively.
There, there" Gregory whispered
in her ear soothingly, everything
will be all right"

He was singularly sensitive to kind

They say that they met Swede ON
the way and he consented to go along.
The three were asked to sign ship
ping papers. but the Swede refused to
sign until he had read them. This
angered the agent, who is alleged to
have drawn a revolver and knocked
the Swede unconscious. -.
The young men say that they were
given about sS worth of clothing and
put aboard the ship. Then they
learned that they were bound for Ham
burg instead of Boston, but were
forced to work. When the steamer
reached the other side of the Atlantic
the young men went to Consul Gen.

lodged their complaint. Mr. Skinner
sent them back to this country to
make their complaint to the immigra-

The hammerlock is one of the effec-
tive holds in wrestling. When once
secured by a strong aggressor, it IS
usually "all off, with his opponent,
but the hold is by no means an easy
one to secure.
Gotch has won but few of his I'M
portant battles by means of the ham
merlock. The first was his defeat of
Scott Miller in 1902 Ne employed the
hammerlock in downing Emil Klank
in 1903, afterward his manager. He
also used the hold in 1904 on John
Berg, one of the strongest grapplers
of the day.
Later Gotch was touring the south
meeting all corners and Offering SIC 4
minute that each wrestler should re-
main on the mat with him. At Gal
weston he met Prof Herman Berneau,
who had boasted that Gotch could net
pin him. Gotch had been on the mat
with Berneau only few minutes when
he cornered the professor and grabbed
him. He wished to win in a hurry
and caught his opponent with ham
merlock. Berneau cried out that ne
was being hurt and Gotch released the
hold. Again the champion secured it,
and again Berneau protested He
refused to submit when Gotch once
more secured the dangerous hold
Berneau left the mat and had Gotch
arrested, but did not push the case.
That taught the champion a lesson
he never forgot and he has seldom
used the hammerlock in any OF his big
matches.
There are several varieties Of the
hammerlock," says Gotch. The mold
is usually secured when working over
an opponent on the mat. The aggres.
sor reaches inside the left arm of his
opponent and grasps his hand with
his own right hand if working
on the left side. The attacker
also grasps his opponents fingers
