GIANT TILE JACK KILLER.
{'The True Yarn of an Eternal Feud.)
 Chapter One

Jack Rommo, the Giant, entered the tavern with long. swinging strides. His mighty muscles bulged beneath his red undershirt. As he entered the surly brute kicked an inoffensive old woman out of his path, cursing as he came in. It was easy enough to see that Jack Rommo's mood boded trouble.
 Chapter Two.
 Jules Mack was not a giant Tn fact, though stockily built, he was but little taller than a dwarf His keen blue eyes flashed significantly, al- though he sat uncotrusively by, sip ping his root beer. And yet one who knew him would have said at once that his intense nature was at last being thoroughly aroused.
 Chapter Three.
 When Jack Rommo, the Giant, spied Jules Mack, the Dwarf, he uttered an oath. Then the burly Giant Tipped the foam from his Bronx cocktail into the quiet stran- gers face. Tn flash Jules Mack was on his feet, as the crowd scattered in anticipation of the coming fight. Chapter Four. As the Giant and the Dwarf squared off there was not a soul in the tavern who could see where Jules Mack had 1 q chance. And they were absolutely 1 right. One punch was enough, and it { required three hours and four doctors 1 to bring the battered Dwarf back to 1 consciousness. (Curtain.)
 l Epilogue.
 Publishers Note: This thrilling l yarn was written in behalf of Al | Thomas, the justly renowned play writing golfer, who expressed the i vearn to read a story some day of a l fight between Giant and q Dwarf l in which the Giant Won.)
