This Mortal lids.

She was very certain she would
never sleep before her anxiety was
assuaged by word OF Alans fate; but
she reckoned without her host OF
Trials ina, 0ad bred In her fatigue

guish
For 4 time after Barcus had left
her she fingered upon the sands, 10
the mouth OF the shelter he had Sc.
lected for her, staring hungTily out on
the shimmering sea that, now wholly
Invested OF its shIoud, smiled up TO
the heavens. whose sapphire face 1t
mirrored. as fair and sweet OF seem
ing as though 1t had never yelled
heartless tragedy,
Slowly 1t darkened as the sapphire
above grew darker, blending insel-
sibly into rare ultTamarine with the
slow decline Of the sun, by whose al
titude above the horizon the day had
not more than ninety minutes TO run,
And she thought drowsily that If
that sun sank without her learning
that her lover lived, 1t would not rise
again upon world tenanted by Rose
Urine.
It was not true, she to' herself, that
people never die OF broken hearts
She knew that, were he taken from
her, she could no longer live.
And sleep overwhelmed her sud
denly, like great, dark cloud
But Its dominion over her faculties
was not Of long duration, Slowly,
heavily, mutinously, she was rescued
from Its nlrvana--came to her senses

CHAPTER XVI.

Not more than twenty seconds could
have elapsed before Barcus recovered
from the shock of the motors treach-
cry sufficiently to reverse the wheel,
throttle down the carburetor and Jump
out OF the engine pit.
But In that small space OF time the
lfeboat and Alan Law had parted COM
pany as definitely as though one OF
them had been levitated bodily to the
far side OF the earth.
1t could not have been more than
a minute alter the accident before
Barcus was guiding the boat over
what, going on his sense of location
and judgment of distance, he could
have sworn was the precise spot
where Alan had disappeared, but with
out discovering sign OF him.
And for the next twenty minutes
he divided his attention between at
tempts to eoothe and reassure the
half.distracted girl and efforts to
educe reply from Alan by stentoTlan
hailing--R as little success In the
one as In the other
Alan" he shrieked at the top Of
his Lungs Alan! Give hail to tell
us you're safe!"
There was a little pause; he was
racking his brains for some more mQY.

ALL READY FOR
BIG SMOKER
TOMORROW

Tomorrow night the Eagles A.
G. will offer a card of seven bouts
in a smoker that Chairman George
Shanklin expects to Guido any of
those hitherto given.
The main events-there are
two-will be between Joe Bonds
ard Wilson, and Romeo Ragen
and Frank Barrieau. A coin will
be tossed tomorrow night to de-
termine which pair will appear
In the final go of the evening.
Frank Barrieau is a clever box
er, and will give Romeo Hagen
very hard battle, from present
indications. Art Wilson once
knocked out Ed Hagen and stow
ed Jack Burns away in two rounds
at Morton about a month ago, SO
ought to give Joe Bonds some
thing to do.
Another contest that promises
to be exciting is the bout be-
tween Ernie Barrieau and Sammy
Good. The latter will meet the
toughest and cleverest boy of his
career, and will have to travel
at top speed. Four good pre-
liminaries are scheduled.

Western Boob's Laurels Soon Fade
Was Winner AT The Olympic Games
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON
High jump, won by Darwin,
height @ feet 2 inches. Alma
Richards nnr,Iacad


High jump, won by Darwin,
height 9 feet 2 inches. Alma
Richards unplaced.
That was all they had to say In
the reports from Boston givine
the account of the great meet oil
the Boston Athletic association
Saturday night.
How quickly we forget our
heroes! For this Richards ought
to go down In American athletic
history as the hero of one of the
greatest dramas of sport ever
seen. He is Alma w. Richards
who, until two years ago, was
scarcely heard of outside OF
Parowan, Utah, and who made
histroy at Stockholm and became
the idol of the Olympic athletes
He is tall, lanky, awkward
looking fellow, deadly in earnest,
and a farmer" in appearance
and all. He never had seen a big
city, never had competed against
a star athlete, yet the awkward,
green, country boy went from
New York In superb confidence
that he would win.
On the Finland, after the ath-
letes sailed, Richards became the
joke of the party, and they anus
ed themselves drawing out the
raw youngsters on the subject of
Parowan.
There came a day when the
champions of the world, repre-
senting many countries, gathered
In the stadium at Stockholm, the
day that the running high jump
was to be decided. One after an
other, HORNE, who was i'll,
Thorp, Erickson and Grumpelt,
the American. failed, and with
the bar at feet 3 inches only
Richards, the coke" and
Litsche. the German, were left.
Americas honor rested upon the
boob" from Parowan. Up, up
they went, and at 6:3:98 the title
hung in balance.
The moment of the supreme
test had come. The Americans
who had failed were cheering and
encouraging Richards. He took
off his cap, walked back two hun
dred feet, and suddenly dropped
to his knees. A murmur of sur
prise, followed by q reverent
hush, came over the great crowd.
Kneeling there. eyes appraised,
hands clasped before all that
great crowd, Richards was pray
ing.
In a moment he arose, his face
alight, and, with quick run, he
raced down the pathway, leaped,
cleared the bar by an inch and,
In spite Of its prejudices, the
crowd roared with applause. A
few moments later Litsche failed
and Richards was champion.
