Two or three dollars would mean
a good deal to Harry just then. Harry
waited-he waited until Miss Davis
entered again.

she said petulantly, because it is a
choice between you and Mr.. Sim

Packing up? Why?"

said. Il didn't think it would be pos
sible, but it is much better than yes

Hastily he put his drill together.
And then he did the best operation he
had ever done in his life. His fingers
seemed guided by cold autOmatism.

leaving town because Of me?"
He nodded in shame and misery.

Harry Keene- in his agitation had
pulled the wrong tooth!
She took the mirror from his help
less hand and saw that the aching
one was still there. 1t was the tooth
next to it that he had drawn. She
sprang to her feet.
Pm sorry" he gasped feebly.
Eyes, so am l, ,. she retorted. 81

you'll hear from him"
She was gone, leaving him stun
ned and Mortified. He knew that the
story would be al over town that
afternoon. He would lose his pa
tients, of course. He would have to
leave FreepOrt. Simmons, the rival,
Old-fashioned practitioner, whom he
was displacing, would jeer at him
when they met
And the girl - she would go to
Simmons. But that was nothing The
fact remained that he, Harry Keene,
who had graduated second in his
class, had made an absolutely mex
cusable blunder, inspired by the con-
seriousness Of the presence Of the girl
whom he loved.
That afternoon a couple of pa
tients came in. Evidently they had
not yet heard of the mistake. Harry
attended them in misery and sent
them away enthusiastic. On the fol-
lowing morning he expected a letter
from Mr.. Davis, but none came. And,
meeting Simmons in the street he
was rewarded with the same look Of
contempt and anger in place of the
expected malicious triumph.
It was now a case Of squaring his
accounts and getting out of town be-
fore the blow fell He was too young
to be able to face the ridicule that !
would be his. He took apart his drill |
and had just begun to dismantle all |
his apparatus when a ring came to
the door.

SCRAP OVER
BOXING LAW

United Press Leased Wire.p
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-That
the New York state law which al
lows ten round no decision box
ing exhibitions" will shortly be
put to a test, was indicated today
by the wrath of the managers of
Harry Pierce and Shamus O'Brien
lightweights, who met few
nights ago. Their bout was stop
ped by the referee, who declared
the men were not doing their
best.
The boxing commission ruled
that the referee was right in stop
ping the bout and refusing to al
low the boxers any pay. Accord
ing to New York critics, If O'Brien
and Pierce carry the matter to
the courts 1t will raise the ques-
ton of whether the. commission
has the right to demand that the
boxers fight instead of boxing.
The state law allows only box
ing exhibitions"

Their are at least three import

Matchmaker Shanklin for 8 bout
with Bill Ferguson of Seattle.
Jones is well remembered IN

Bonds, after putting up a mighty
clever fight. His most memorable
battle here was with .loe Swain,
the baker boy, when the two
smashed at each other through
four of the toughest rounds ever

JOE CoRBETT AS HE LOOKS TODAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. -
Joe Corbett, twenty years ago the
most talked of baseball pitcher in
the world, is a deputy in the coun-
ty clerks office of San Francis

until five at night this former
great star of the diamond pur-
sues his routine and more or less

the youthful phenom. Jim Cor
bett was mighty proud of his kid
brother and wasn't particular
who knew it.
The game was a corker. 1t fin
ally ended with a 1-to-0 victory
for Corbett and Baltimore. Cor
bett and Nichols both allowed
five hits. The only run came in
the ninth when Stencil reached
up about five feet, with two
strikes and three balls, and hit a
wild one into the right field
bleachers for a home run. Cor
bett says this was the most sur
prising game in which he ever
figured.
Corbett's greatest asset was a
speedy out drop, delivered as fast
as the straightest ball. With 1t
he made monkeys out of the other
National league teams. He quit
at the apex of his brilliant career
and years after figured In a cou-
pie OF comeback stunts on the Pa
cific coast.
In a comfortable nine-room
house at TAG Fourth avenue, San
Francisco, lives Joe Corbett, his
wife and their seven children.
There are two boys and five girls.
The Corbett family owns its own
home and the parents greatest
ambition is to see the children
properly educated. Four attend
st. Agnes convent here, one is a
student at st. Ignatius college and
one is pupil at the Girls High
school. The seventh is too young
to leave home as yet.
