Ad WoIgast has had harder luck
for the last three years than any 9TH
er fighter in the business. AID gets a
good fight framed up, and then along
comes an injury to put him temper
arily on the blink.
Yesterday he broke a bone in his
right arm, and has been forced to
cancel his Fourth of July fight with
Joe Rivers, scheduled in Los Angeles.
The injury will keep the Cadillac man
out of the ring for at least two
months
The accident to WoIgast may give
Matty McCue, the Racine flash, a
chance at some big game. Matty is
on the coast as sparring partner
for Wolgast, and there is a plan to
substitute him for his boss.
Rivers would probably lick McCue
if the fight is arranged. but Matty
will have a chance to learn some
tough milling through actual expert
ence. He has a fair punch and is also
learning something about the finer
points of the game.
In case the two little men cannot
be brought together, Jess Willard and
Tom Mcmahon may be matched. VIII

The Voice From the Past.

he NOiSC from the HaSI.
Though the doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his of
fee. There, alone with Mrs. Dan
bridge while Shirley waited in the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands a little packet of
yellow oiled-silk which bore her name.
He noted that it agitated her pro-
foundry and as she thrust it into the
bosom of her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen it. When
he put her again in the carriage, he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood, at length, alone in her
room, she sat down with the packet II
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had been
all afre with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was almost
afraid.
She tried to imagine that letters
coming to her-then. Thirty years
ago! A May day, a day of golden
sunshine and flowers. The arbors had
been covered with roses then, too, like
those whose perfume drifted to her
now. Evil news flies fast, and she
had heard of the duel very early that
morning. The letter would have
reached her later. She would have
fed away with it to this very room
to read it alone-as she did now!

In the library, an hour later, sitting
at the big black pigeonholed desk, he

Frances Birth Rate,

In France last year births exceeded
deaths by but 41,901. This is a bad
showing, but is far from being the
worst France has made IN recent
years. In 1907 there were 1901 more
deaths than births, and this record
was passed In 1901. when there we're
1921 births and 1888 deaths. The
vital statistics of France are full Of
gloomy suggestions to French publ
cists, whose sentiments are voiced by
the Temps in remarking that the pop

was 20 times that of France. The

apparent when we remember that

Value of Talk.

Talk has the reputation of being the
cheapest thing there is. AS supply
and demand have something if not all
to do with values, doubtless the sup
ply of talk is what gives it bargain
counter value.
Things that are cheap lack enduring
quality.
If talk we're confined to the things
done more than to the thing said, it
would have greater value.
Some one asked Edison if he expert
enced much inconvenience on account
of his deafness. He replied that he
thanked God for it every day, since it
protected him from the distracting eff.
feet of other peoples talk. He could
thus live his own life, think his own
thoughts, do his own work in his world
of silence.

In the little haircloth trunk back in

held a few leaves torn from letters and
many newspaper clippings. From
these she had known of his work, his
marriage, the great commercial sue
cess for which his name had stood
the name that from the day of his go
ing, she had so seldom taken upon her
lips Some of them had dealt with
his habits and idiosyncrasies, hints of
an altered personality, and aloofness
or loneliness that had set him apart
and made him, in a way, stranger to
those who should have known him
best. Thus her mind had come to
hold a double image: The grave man
these Swallowed forth, and the man
she had loved, whose youthful face was
I'm the locket she wore always on her
breast. 1t was this race that was
printed on her heart, and when John
Valiant had stood before her on the
porch at Rosewood, it had seemed to
have risen, instinct, from that old
grave.
He had not kept silence! He had
written! It pealed through her brain
like a muffled bell But Beauty Vail

REALLY USED COTTON BALES
Popular Idea Concerning Battle Of
New Orleans Has Been Found
to Be Correct.

Interest in the slumbering cotton
bale theory of the battle of New Or
leans was aroused by the finding of a
water-color picture map of the original
battle plan in an abandoned trunk in
the cel1er of the ST. Charles hotel.
Little is known about the drawing or
the other contents of the trunk which
has remained unnoticed for years in a
dark corner.
Five veterans of the battle have
added their signatures to the remark
able map to attest the fact that it is
a true representation of the battle
plan as made under the direction of
Andrew Jackson by his military engi-
neer, H. Laclotte It shows line of
cotton bales which marginal note
says was 1000 feet long with a pro-
longment extending 500 feet into the
woods. Some historians deny the
story about the use of cotton bales.

The New Fable of the Dancing Man
Who Wore Out His Pumps
and His Rating.

Once there was a Porch Rat, who
was also a Parlor Snake and Ham
mock Hound He worked the popular
before deciding to hook up and begin
paying for his own Food and Drink.
When he started fitting from Bud
to Debutante to Ingenue to Fawn to
Broiler to Kiddykadee back in 1880
be was famous Beau with skin-tight
Trousers, a white Puff Tie run
through a Gold Ring and a Hat lined
with White Satin, the same as a
Child's Coffin.
In 1890 he was parting his Hair in
the Middle, in imitation Of a good
Bird Dog, and had been promoted to
the Veteran Corps Of the iron-legged
Dancing Men and the Unsuitable
Diners-Out. He would eat on his
Friends about six Nights in each
Week and repay them every Christ
mas by sending a Card showing a
Frozen Stream in the Foreground and
Evergreen Trees beyond.
In 1900 he was beginning to sit out
some Of the numbers. Also, when he
got into his Evening Toys, his gen
aral Contour suggested that possibly
he had just swallowed a full-siZed
Watermelon without slicing it up.
But he was still Johnny-answer-the-
bell when it came to Dinner Parties.
In 1910 he carried a little Balloon
under each Eye and walked as If he
had Gravel in his Shoes. He was
still trying to be Game, although he
had different kind Of Digestive
Tablet in each Pocket and would
rather tackle Bridge than the Barn
Dance
The Path was becoming Lonely and
the whispering Trees seemed tall and
forbidding. He decided to whistle for
COMPANION. The Dear Girls had
been logging him for three Decades
and be decided to let one Of them
have her Wish at last.
He hunted up one aged "a and broke
the Glad News to her and she told
him not to rattle his Clutches over
the Mosaic Floor as he went out the
Front Way.
He is now living at Club or
gained as a Home for Men who have
Gone Wrong.

life, TO future empty Of her? How
could he do that? When he had part
ed from her in the rain he had felt a
frenzy Of obstinacy. It had seemed so
clear that the barrier must in the end
yield before their love. He had never
thought Of surrender Now he told
himself that flight was all that was
left him. She-her happiness-noth-
ing else mattered. Damory court and
its future-the plans he had made-the
Valiant name-in that clarifying in
slant he knew that all these, from that
May day on the Red road, had chung
about her. She had been the inspira-
ton Of all.
Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling
gloom
The voices of the invested choir
rose clearly and some one at his side
was whispering that this had been the
majors favorite hymn. But he
scarcely heard.
When the service was ended the
people filed the big yard while the
last reverent words were spoken at the
