 ''I expect not, sthen,'' said Penrod quickly.
 You better expect not.' Didn't I tell you once you'd never get back alive if you ever tried to come up around the Third? You want me to show you how we do up there, bop
 He began a. slow and deadly ad- vance, whereupon Penrod timidly of fered q diversion:

 Say your prayers!'' commanded Rupe, and continued to twist the luck less finger until Penrod writhed to his knees.
 "Ow!" The victim, released, looked srievously upon the still painful finger.
 At this Rupe's scornfu1 expression altered to one of contrition. Well, l declare!'' he exclaimed remorsefully. ''I didn't s'pose it would hurt. Turn abouts fair play; so now you do that to me.
 He extended the middle finger of his left hand and Penrod promptly seized 1t, but did not twist it, forShe was instantly swung round with his back to his amiable new acquaintance. Rupe's right hand operated upon the back of Penrod's slender neck; Rupe's knee tortured the small of Penrod's back.

When JeIn mace and Tom Allen fought in Louis jana, in 1870, Coburn looked after AL len, who was defeated. Joe then de- cided to return to the ring and fight Mace, who was very unpopular with the Irdsh-Am erican sports. The match was made for $5,00O and the A1ner1- can title, and was to have been pulled off in Canada but the interference of the Dominion authorities resulted in another fasco. Late in 1871 Mace and Coburn finally faced each other in a ring near New Orleans, the stakes being $2, 2,50O. a. side. After a tour of the country, Coiburn settled down to traiIf1ng with Johnny DWyer, Of Brooklyn, in charge of his camp. About a thousand spectators were on hand at the place near Bay St. Louis. chosen for the contest For several rounds Coburn held the lead, and the Americans were ju'bilant, but lem later rallied and held his own for a. time. Both men seemed to be afraid however, and after they had been in the ring over three hours Col Rufus Hart, the referee, ordered them to fight or quit. The warning made no impression a.nd Hart then stopped the affair and called it a draw. Coburn then retired again. and although he was afterward challenged by Tom Allen, he refused to fight the English man.

Large Crowd Saw
 Big Feature Film

Not a crowd alone but a veritable mass of humanity witnessed the pro- duction of The Last Days of Pom Jeii last night, for the little Or Dheum theatre was filled from it's front TOW to the very doors. In fact many people were compelled to stand, being unable to secure seats, but none made objection for the reason that they counted them selves lucky to have a chance to see this excellent feature film under any condition. The picture is to be repeated again this evening, and another crowded house is expected, as the fame of the film will un- doubtedly go forth to those who tailed to see it last night.
 The Last Days of Pompeii' as it will be shown at the Orpheum tonight, is a pictorial review of the dramatization of one of the greatest books ever written. It is in 260 scenes. shown in eight reels of film and every scene is interesting. Ten thousand people were required for it's production. All of the scenes wherein Mt Vesuvius is shown in eruption, are true to nature. Music appropriate to such great produc- ton, will be rendered this evening by Durand's three piece orchestra.
 Owing to the fact that such large crowds have been on hand to wit ness the production of feature films at the Orpheum. the management of the popular little show house decided to try a new plan this time and have a reserved seat sale. Ac cordingly, the last nine rows in the theatre are on sale at Halls Book Store at 75 cents. The general
