witness Of what happens"
 "The chit, boy!" Mallow paid the reckoning Now, then, come on. Three rickshaws!" he called.
 The barren plot of ground back of the dock was deserted. Warrington jumped from his rickshaw and divest- ed himself of his coat and flung his hat beside it. Gleefully as boy Nal low did likewise. Warrington then bade the coolies to move back to the road.
 "Rounds?" inquired Mallow.
 "You filthy scoundrel, you know very we'll there won't be any rules to this game. Don't you think I know you?" Warrington rolled up his sleeves and was pleased to note the dull color of Mallow's face. He want ed to rouse the brute in the man, then he would have him at his mercy. q swore four years ago that I'd make you pay for that night"
 You scum!" roared Mallow, you'll never be a whole man when they carry you away from here"
 Wait and see."
 On the way to the dock Warrington had mapped out his campaign. Fair play from either of these-men was not to be entertained for moment One was naturally a brute and the other was a coward. They would not hesi- | tate at any means to defeat him. And he knew what defeat would mean at their hands -disfgurement, probably.
 twill you take a shilling for your l To ing to enjoy this, for he had not the least doubt as to the outcome. Nal low was without superior in a rough and tumble fight.
 Warrington did not reply. He walked cautiously toward Mallow This maneuver brought Craig within reach. It was not a fair blow, but | Warrington delivered it without the least compunction. It struck Craig squarely on the jaw. Lightly as a cat Warrington jumped hack. Craig's knees doubled under him and he toppled forward on his face.
 Now, Mallow, you and I alone, with no one to jump on my back when Pm looking elsewherel"
 Mallow, approaching the trick, swore foully, and rushed. Warrington jabbed with his left and sidestepped. One thing he must do and that was to keep Mallow from getting into close quarters. The copra grower was more than his match in the knowledge of those oriental devices that usually cripple a man for life. He must wear him down scientifically; he must de- nnnd hic rinD 1cbin Tn his youth Warrin gton had been a skill ful boxer. He could now back this skill with rugged health and blow that had hundred and eighty pounds behind it.
 From ordinary rage Mallow fell into a frenzy; and frenzy never won a ring battle. Time after time he endeav- ored to grapple, but always that left stopped him. Warrington played for his face, and to each jab he added a taunt. That for the little Singalese!" Count that one for Wheedon's broken knees!" And wouldn't San admire that? Remember her? The little Jap- anese girl whose thumbs you broker" Here's one for mel" It was not dig niied, but Warrington stubbornly re- fused to look back upon this day either with shame or regret. Jab-jab, cut and slash! went the left. There was no more mercy in the mind back of it than might be found in the sleek felines who stalked the jungles north Doggedly Mallow fought on, hoping for his chance. He tried every trick he knew, but he could only get so near. The ring was as wide as the world; there were no corners to make grappling possibility.
 Some of his desperate blows got through. The bezel of his ring laid open Warringtons forehead He was brave enough, but be began to realize that this was not the same man he had turned out into the night four years ago. And the pain and igno- miny he had forced upon others was now being returned to him. Warning | ton would have prolonged the battle | had he not seen Craig getting dizzily ! to his feet. It was time to end it. He | feinted swiftly. Mallow, expecting 8 body blow, dropped his guard. War rington, as he struck, felt the bones in his hand crack. Mallow went over upoH HIS udch, ldlTly Ilteu OH HIS feet. He was tough; an ordinary man would have died.
 "1 believe that squares accounts said Warrington, speaking to Craig If you hear of me in America, in Flu rope, anywhere, keep away from the places where I'm likely to go. Tell him." with an indifferent jerk of his head toward the insensible Mallow, tell him that give him that fifty pounds with the greatest good pleas ure. Sorry I can't wait
 He trotted back to his rickshaw, wiped the blood from his face. put on his hat and coat. and ordered the re- spectful coolie to hurry back to town.
