CHAPTER XIII.
In the Jackal's Lair.


The golden sands, the purple cliffs
the translucent blue Of the heavens
and the group of picturesque rascals
Jabbering and gesticulating and press
Ing about their chief made a picture
Kathlyn was never to forget.
Patience, my little ones!" said the
chief, showing his white, strong teeth
In what was more of snarl than q
smile There is plenty of time"
Bruce leaned toward Kathlyn.
Stand perfectly still, just as yor
are. believe l can reach the kno,
back OF your hands. This squabblins
Is the very thing needed. They will
not pay any attention to us for a few
minutes. and If can read signs they'll
all be at each others throats short
ly"
But even if we get free what can
we do?"
kathlyn was beginning to lose both
1aith and heart. The sight of he,
rather being led back to Alfalfa by
Durga Ram, after all the misery to
which he had been subjected. shook
the courage which had held her uu
these long. unhappy weeks. For she
realized that her father was still weak
and that any additional SUFFERING
would kill him.
You mustn't talk like that" said
Bruce. You've been in tighter places
than this. II we can get free, leave
the rest to me- So long as one can "a
and hear and move. there's hope"
I'm becoming coward. Do what
you can. ! promise to obey you in all
things"
Bruce bent as far as he could. and
went desperately to work at the knot
with his teeth. Success or failure did
not really matter; simply. he did not
propose to die without making a
mighty struggle to avoid death. The
first knot became loose, then another.
Kathlyn stirred her hands cautiously.
"Now!" he whispered.
She twisted her hands two or three
times and found them free.
Mine. now!" said Bruce. Hurry"
It was a simple matter for her to re.
lease Bruce.

BIRTHDAY OF WILLIE FITZGER- AID, ONCE PROMINENT IRISH
 LIGHTWEIGHT.
BY "GRAVY.

Among the pugnacious Hibernians who have emigrated to America and added to the joy of the fight fans--a long and honorable roll-distinguished
 mention is due to Willie Michael Fitz- ! gereld, who was born in Waterford, Ireland, t11irty-four years ago today. Willie" Fitzgerald's ring career ex.
 tended over dozen years his last appearance in the squared circle hav- ing been in 1912. He fought his first battle in 1899, when he knocked out Jack Lowery in the third round The next year he mingled with more than score of the little fellows, and one Of his victims was Marty McCue, now the Hon. Martin McCue of the New York legislature, who recently got into the limelight by his impassioned defense of Sunday baseball. In 1902 Willie knocked out McCue and whipped q number of other good lads, his only defeat being at the hands of Buddy Ryan. the Chicago slugger.
 In 1903 the Irish lad aspired to the lightweight honors, then claimed by Joe Cans and James Edward Britt. Willie lost the decision in twenty round go with Britt and was knocked out by the Baltimore negro. Fitz- gerald also lost to Mike Ward, th9 Canadian, and to Steve Crosby. He fought Cans again in 1904, but lost, but he bested Charlie Weary and Mar tin Canole. Willie lost on a foul to Eddie Hanlon, the Californian boxer at Los Angeles in 1905, but had the best of arguments with Maurice Thompson. Otto Sieloff and Gus Gardner. He knocked out Tommy Sullivan the next year. but was knocked out by Harry Lewis, the New York Hebrew. In 1907 Willie fought draws with Fred die Welsh and Indian Joe" Gregg, and in 1908 he defeated Aurelio Her. rera, the Mexican lightweight. That year ended Fitzgerald's active ring career, although he continued to fight occasionally for several years there after.
