 It appears to be certainty that the Johnson Willard bout will not take place in Juarez, March 6, as scheduled. According to a message from Toronto, Tom Flanagan, who trained Johnson for the Jeffries fight, has received a telegram from the champion in which it is stated that he has called off the Juarez date and that the fight will be held in Havana. The text of the message was:
 twill fight Willard here. Eight will draw as much as Jeffres-J ohnson fight. There is not a chance foreIne to go to Mexico.
 Promoter Jack Curley still refuses to admit that the bout will be staged in Havana although he confeSses there is no possibiIit of holding it on March 6 in Juarez. He postponed the fight until the last of March or the first of April

a curious return to a clarity of

Findlay grew cheerful again.

he, pouring whiskey into Temples

Then Temple startled him by
abruptly reverting to that bitter
quarrel.

said. Curse them!"
He began to laugh stupidity.

"Oh, damn" said Findlay.

and as he did so Temples gloved
right hand took him in the chest
and sent him spinning to the foot
of the cigar cabinet.
Findlay's eyes were wide open
with astonishment. Temple was a
lighter man by a stone or more
than himself, and he did not un-
derstand how he had been felled,
He was not stunned, although he
was so dulled by the blow as not
to notice the blood running down
his cheek from his ear.
He laughed insincerely, and, al
most pulling the cigar cabinet over.
scrambled to his feet, made as if
he would speak, and put up his
hand instinctively as Temple struck
out at him again, feint with the
left hand.
FindIay was an expert boxer,
and, anticipating another right
hand blow over the ear, struck
sharply at once with his own left
hand in Temples face, throwing
his full weight into the blow, and
lodging Temples reply.
Temples upper lip was cut
against his teeth, and the taste of
blood and the sight of it trickline
down Findlay's cheek destroyed the
last vestiges of restraint that drink
had left him, stripped off all that
education had ever done for him.
There remained now only the
savage man-animal, the creature
that thirsts for blood.
With half bestial cry, he flung
himself upon Findlay as he jump
ed back, and with sudden sweep
OF his right arm cut down the de-
tense, breaking FindIay's arm Just
above the wrist, and following with
three rapid blows of the bulla upon
the face.
Findlay gave an inarticulate cry
of astonishment, countered weakly
once, and then went down like a
felled OK.
AS he fell, Temple fell kneeling
upon the top of him. There was
a smash as the lamp went reeling.
The lamp was extinguished as it
fell, and left the room red and
black.
Findlay struck heavily at Tenn
pies ribs, and Temple, with his
left elbow at Findlay's neck,
swung up his right arm and struck
down sledgehammer blow upon
the face, and again and yet again,
until the body beneath his knees
had ceased to writhe.
Then suddenly his frenzy left
him at the voice of a woman
so that it filled the room.
He looked up and crouched mo-
tionless as he heard and saw the
study door closing and heard the
Patter of feet retreating in panic.
Then he looked down and saw
the thing that had once been the
face of Findlay. For an awful
minute he remained ,kneeling agape.
Then he staggered to his feet
and stood over Findlay's body in
the glow of the dying fire like
man awakening from a nightmare.
Suddenly he perceived the bulla
on his hand, covered with blood
and hair, and began to understand
what had happened.
In a sudden horror, he flung the
thing from him. 1t
struck the floor near the cigar cab
met, rolled for a yard or so on its
edge, and came to rest in almost
the position it had occupied when
he had first set eyes on it.
To Temples excited imagination
it seemed to be lying at exactly the
same spot, the sole and sufficient
cause of Findlay's death and his
own.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-24

And bury our early manhood, "
said Temple. We'll, well-yes,
let us go to the music hall, by all
means, if you desire it. 1t is trivial
and appropriate. We want no
tragic issues"

When the men returned to Find
lays study the little clock in the
dimness on the mantelshelf was
! pointing to half-past one.
After the departure the little
brown room, with its books and
bones, was undisturbed, save for
the two visits Findlay's attentive
servant paid to see to the fire and
to pull down the blinds and draw
the curtains.
The ticking of the clock was the
only sound in the quiet. Now and
then the fire fickered and stirred,
sending blood-red reflections chas-
ing the shadows across the ceiling
and bringing into ghostly transitory
prominence some grotesque group
ing of animals bones or skulls
upon the shelves.
At last the stiffness was broken
by the unlatching and slamming of
the heavy street door and the
sound OF unsteady footsteps aP-
preaching along the passage.
Then the door opened, and the
two men came into the warm fire.
light.
Temple came in first, his brown
face flushed with drink, his coat
unbuttoned, his hands deep in his
trousers pockets.
His Christmas resolution had
long since dissolved in alcohol. He
was a little puzzled to find himself
in Findlay's company. And his
fuddled brain insisted upon mop
perfume Renaissance.
He walked straight to the fire
and stood before it. an exaggerated
black figure, staring down into the
red glow.
After ALL" he said, I'VE are
fools to quarrel-fools to quarrel
about little thing like that. Damn
ed fools!"
Findlay went to the writing table
and felt about for the matches with
quivering hands.
1T wasn't my doing" he said.
1T wasn't your doing" said
Temple. Nothing ever was your
doing. You are always in the right
-Findlay the all right"
Findlay's attention was concen-
trated upon the lamp. His hand
was unsteady, and he had some
difficulty in turning up the wicks; !;
one got jammed down and the
other farcd furiousIy.
When at last it was lit and turn
cd up, he came up 10 Temple.
Take your coat off, old man,
and have some more whiskcy," he
said, THAT was ripping little
girl in the skirt dance"
Fools to quarrel" said Temple,
slowly, and then woke up to Find
LAYS words. "Heigh?"
Take off YOUR coat and sit
down." said Findlay, moving up
the little metal table and producing
cigars and siphon and whiskey.
That lamp gives an Internally bad
light, but it is all | have. Some
thing wrong with the oil. Did you
notice the drudge of that stone
smashing trick"
Temple remained erect and
gloomy, staring into the fire.
Fools to quarrel" he said.
Findlay was now half drunk, and
his hncsse began to leave him. Tenn
pie had been drinking heavily, and
was now in a curious rambling
stage.
Findlays one idea now was to
close this curious reunion.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-24
TEMPLE had scarcely been
with Findlav five minutes

4 before he felt his old re-
sentiments and the memory of that
unforgetabIc wrong growing vivid
again.
But with the infatuation OF his
good resolution still upon him, he
maintained the air of sham recon-
citation that Findlay had welcomed
50 eagerly.
They talked of this and that,
carefully avoiding the matter of
the separation. Temple at first
spoke chiefly of his travels.
He stood between the cabinet of
minerals and the fireplace, his
whiskey on the mantelpiece, while
Findlay sat with his chair pushed
back from his writing desk, on
which were scattered the dozen
little skulls of hedgehogs and shrew
mice upon which he had been
working.
Temples eye fell upon them, and
abruptly brought his mind round
from the topic of West Africa.

The thing was about thrice the

STRANGE STORIES FROM A MAGIC PEN n8Hxn

Findlay pushed his chair aside, and
stepped out into the middle of the
room.
There he began to pose in imita-
ton of Jason, and to give a color
able travesty of the old prizefght-
er's instructions.
He picked up his boxing gloves
from the shelf in the recess, and
slipped them on. Temple, lowering
there, on the brink of an eXPlo-
sion, was almost too much for his
nerves.
He felt his display of high spirits
was a mistake, but he must go
through with it now.
Don't stand glooming there,
man. You're in just that state when
the world looks black as ink. Drink
yourself merry again. There's no
woman in the world worth a man 5
friendship ip-that's agreed upon.
Come and have a bout with these
Gloves of mine-fOur-OunCe gloves.
There's nothing sets the blood and
spirits stirring like that"
"All right" said Temple, quite
mechanically.
And then, waking up to what he
was doing, Where are the other
gloves"
Over there in the corner. On
the top of the mineral cabinet. By
Jove! Temple, this is like old
timesI
Temple, quivering strangely, went
to the corner. He meant to thrash
Findlay, and knew that in spite of
his lighter weight he would do it.
Yet it seemed puerile and in
adequate to the pitch of absurdity,
for the wrong Findlay had done
him was great And, putting his
hand on something pale in the
shadow, he touched the bulla of
the whale.
The temptation was like a light
ming flash. He slipped one glove
on his left hand and thrust the fin
gers of his right into the cavity of
the bulla. 1t took all his fingers
and covered his knuckles and all
the back of his hand. And it was
so oddly like a thunbless boxing
glove! Just the very shape of the
padded part.
His spirits rose abruptly at the
sudden prospect Of a savage joke
how savage it could be, he did
not know.
Meanwhile Findlay, with a nerv-
Gus alacrity, moved the lamp into
the corner behind the armchair and
thrust his writing desk into the
window bay.
Come on" said Findlay, behind
him, and abruptly he turned.
Findlay looked straight into his
eyes, on guard, his hands half open.
He did not see the strange sub
stitute for a glove that covered
Temples right hand. Both men
were gone so far toward drunken
ness that their power of observa-
ton was obScured.
For a moment they stood squar-
ing at one another, the host srnil-
ing and his guest smiling also, but
with his teeth set two dark figures
swaying in the freight and the
dim lamplight.
Then Findlay struck at his op-
ponent's face with his left hand.
AS he did so, Temple ducked slight
ly to the left and struck savagely
over Findlays shoulder at his tem-
pie with the bone-covered fist.
The blow was given with such
tremendous force that it sent Find
lay reeling sideways, half stunned
and overcome with astonishment.

side of his face went white at the
