She nodded, looking strangely trou'

facing them from the porch.
"A stranger" formed itself upon heI

when the man suddenly stepped into
the glare of the light, and she stopped
with murmur of dismay which
pierced Mr.. Challoner's heart and
prepared him for the words which
now fell shudderingly from her lips.

the intruder, "Oh. why, why. did yo'

IL and all without word Mr.. Chal-

marked relief.

as she passed him. Then. as she again

Mr.. Challoner watched her with d.

spoke falling in some degree upon
him. Had she finished? Was this all ?
No; she is speaking again, but very
low, almost In a whisper.

Mr.. Challoner shuddered. This was
like the reopening of his daughters

scene with a full appreciation Of the
ordeal awaiting him and he did not

at the vision before him, then slowly
and with effort withdrawing his gaze,
he sought the face OF Mr.. Challoner

the newcomer. with smile few could

ure. II thought I heard some words
of recognition which would prove your

She did not answer. Her lips had
parted. but her thought or at least the
expression of her thought hung sus-
pended in the terror of this meeting
for which she was not at all prepared
He seemed to note this terror, wheth.
er or not he understood its cause, and
smiled again, as he added:
'Mr. Brotherson must have spoken
of his brother Orlando. am he. Miss
Scott. VIII you let me come in now?'
Her eyes sought those of Mr.. Chal

ately she stepped from before the door
which her figure had guarded and
motioning him to enter, she begged
Mr.. Challoner, with an imploring look
to sustain her in the interview she
saw before her. He had no desire fol
this encounter. especially as Mr.
Brotherson's glance in his direction
had been anything but conciliatory
He was quite convinced that nothing
was to be gained by 1t, but he could
not resist her appeal, and followed
them into the little room whose lin
tied dimensions made the tall Orlando
look bigger and stronger and more
lordly in his self-confidence than ever

II is not difficult to understand Mr..
Challoner's feelings or even those OF

Doris trembled.
1T was not suicide" she declared,
vehemently. 81 have always felt sure
that 1t was not; but today know"
Her hand fell clenched on her breast
and her eyes cleaned strangely. Mr..
Challoner was himself greatly startled

on. as he stopped short in the road.

He smiled at her fears, but gave In
to her humor; he would see her soor
again and possibly learn something
which would amply repay him, botf
for his trouble and his patience.

SPORTING COMMENT


p oxERS don't appeal to the
- fight fan as much on the
Western Coast is they do on the
Eastern. True, the Pacific en-
thusiasts like to see the clever
fellow. but they haven't a great
deal of use for him unless he is
capable of swinging the haymaker
of marketa bic power. The man
who combines the two, as Clabby
surely does now. is the ideal man
for the ring out there. Hence
Clabby's great popularity.
ONE of the choicest little bits
~ of clever press work comes
from the Clabby camp. 1t is a
story to the effect that Billy Nc
Carney, manager of the late Lu-
Their McCarty, acting for a Los
Angeles millionaire, has offered
Larney Lichtenstein the juicy
price Of $4,000 for Clabby's con
tract Both Larney and Jimmy
are said to have Indignantly de-
clined even to discuss the offer.
But knowing both men pretty
well, we also Indignantly decline
to have anything further to do
W III Viz al IL iDAA w nave Ut -
osty enough to want to know
what a Los Angeles millionaire
would want to do with the con
tract if he got it.
TOMMY WALSH, VIII handled
Joe Mandot's affairs, has 4
powerful wall against the pres
ent no decision system in vogue
in different parts of the country.
He cites the strange fact that in
the recent Mandot- Griffith con-
test in Windsor, Just across the
river from Detroit, all bets We're
paid off on Mandot in Detroit.
but that in Chicago the pa
pers gave the verdict to Griffith.
It's strange. but true. In Detroit
two papers gave Mandot the de-
cision. two declared it a draw
and one gave il to the Ohio man.
And that one story giving the
fight to Griffith was the one gem
orally telegra phed into Atlanta
and printed here.
