of Nellie Dugan. She had come to him
had come when he needed her most.
Knockout Riley sidled close, ready for
the finishing touches. The spectators
stared, and held their breath. Even be-
fore blow was struck, they could see
change in the apparently defeated fighter.
Nellie had come! She was there
watching! Kid Kelley knew what it
meant, and he knew that he must win.
He felt suddenly that he could!
He doubled into a venomous, sinewy
ball, waiting Riley's rush. And, as the
vicious figure catapulted toward him, he
leaped forward to meet the attack. The

THE arena was filled with cigar smoke,
which eddied over the ring in dense,
rancid cloud. Knockout Riley lay back
on his chair, breathing easily as he took
the rough but kindly ministrations of his
seconds. He was grinning confidently.
Eight rounds of the battle had beenfought.
The ninth was half minute away.
In the opposite corner sprawled Kid
Kelley. His face was swollen almost be-

talk she liked less and less as time passed.
And one night she broke an engagement
with him to sit in her room and read
the sporting pages of every evening daily!
And each and every one of the sporting
sheets contained some mention, ranging
from a paragraph to a column, about
Kid Kelley, the phenomenal young light
weight who was to fight Knockout Riley
within the next fortnight. Three of the
papers had pictures of his handsome,
smiling face, and of the contrastingly
unpleasing physiognomy of MIR. Knock
out Riley. The girl shuddered. What
if the Kid should be beaten?
One account in particular interested
her:
Unless Kid Kelley takes brace during the
next few days, his chances against Knock
out Riley will be slight. Riley is the best
man he has ever stacked up against, and he
needs to be in the best of trim; but during
the past few weeks his training has been off.
He has lost the ginger which has character
lied his work in the past. In proper trim
the Kid will stand better than an even
chance, but at present he needs a decided
brace. Outside worries are probably affect
ing him. unless it is that the idea Of meeting
a man of Riley's caliber has, to use the YER
nacular, got his goat.
In her heart the girl understood what
it all meant. Kid Kelley was worrying
about her. She had failed him at crisis.
She began to realize that for long time
she had been contrasting the masculine
qualities of the fighter with the rather
effeminate qualities of the foor-walker,
and that the Kid had by no means suf-
fered by comparison.
Impulsively she secured pen, ink, and
paper. She hurriedly wrote letter and
addressed it to Kid Kelley.
The note was short, but to the point.
She said that she wanted to see him. she
asked him to call the next night at eight
o'clock. Then she donned her coat and
hat and sailed forth to letter-box. But
at the letter-box she halted. What would
he think? Wasn't it unmaidenly?
AS impulsively as she had written, she

bodies crashed together. There was
lightning exchange of fists. For perhaps
ten seconds the men stood body to body,
ripping, tearing, slamming home rights
and lefts-each one crushing.
Knockout Riley, marveling at the
metamorphosis in the man before him,
reluctantly broke ground, then set HIM
self again. But it was not for long. Kid
Kelley was all over him, slamming home
punches viciously, clearly, furiously.
Riley broke ground again. The audience,
realizing that it was witnessing phenom-
enon, leaped to its feet and howled de-
moniacally. Men Rugged each other in
sheer hysteria. In Kelley's corner the
woman stood, biting her lips in mingled
fear and wonder.
Tommy" she breathed. Flight,
Tommy-fgh!'
HER voice could not have reached him
above the din, but he seemed to know.
He shook off the embracing arms of
Knockout Riley and leaped back once
again. Riley sought safety in cIinch.
The reversal was cataclysmic. But
Kelley met him coming in

The counting of ten was mere formality.
In Kelley's corner. the girl had broken
down and was sobbing.
He joined her in taxi outside the
clubs entrance. She was shaken and
nervous. His strong arms closed about
her slender form, and she buried her head
in his shoulder.
"Oh, TOMMY" she murmured. "I've
come back to you-and l was-almost
too late

gently.

"Th' dickens it don't!"
There was stir at the door. The
ticket-taker stared in anger and curios-
ity. Though women were allowed in the
club, the presence of one was rare The
woman at the door whirled around and
rallied at the scented dandy who accom-
panied her.
"Stay out, then!" she said sharply.
"You amt got no business in here, any,
way. Only men are wanted in here"
Her eyes took in the ring, but she didn't
pause to marvel at it's barbaric strange
ness. In the nearest corner she saw the
semi-nude figure of Kid Kelley, Grim
soned, seemingly unconscious. The only
sign of life was the regular rise and fall
of his massive chest as the seconds snapped
towels before him and rubbed his shak-
ing knees with liniment.
The spectators craned their necks curl
ously. Red Chambers teeth were barred
in sneer.

him in the person of Knockout Riley.
And then, clear and sweet to his ears

familiar feminine voice:

The listlessness dropped from him. He

he essayed to hold her hand, and she
shuddered and drew it away. He put
it down to coquetry, and perhaps liked
her the better for it,
Mr.. Hawkins prided himself on his
conversational powers. He usually called
for Nellie about eight o'clock. From
eight until nine he discussed the war situa-
ton, Wall Street, the newest "best seller, !"
his high school days and the knowledge
he had absorbed at that time, the abso-
lutte necessity of social position, his friends
among the e-light, culture, his prospects
at the store. From nine until ten-thirty
his talk was of dancing and vaudeville
and moving pictures. And from ten
thirty until eleven he discussed them
Nellie and himself, or himself and Nellie
in most personal vein.

GOOD TIME TO PRUNE TREES !
Much Depends Upon Object Sought,
Age Of Trees and Convenience In
Performing the Work.

1t is a fact that trees pruned In
June are more likely to set fruit than
II pruned in spring or winter; also
wounds made in June heal more
quickly than when made in early
spring. On the other hand, it is a
fact that most farmers and orchard
lists are too busy in June with other
work to attend to pruning; also it is
more difficult to prune in June, be-
cause the leaves cover the trees and
interfere more or less with rapid, easy
work. 1t is also fact that no one
rule will apply to all cases.
II farmer or fruit grower wants
wood growth in a young orchard OF on
young shade trees, he will get 1t most
quickly by doing his pruning in early
spring, whereas, II he wants merely
to promote the formation OF fruit buds,
he will find that June pruning is best;
so, looking at the question in large
way, there are two best times" to
prune trees-depending upon the OBJ
ject sought, the age of the tres and
convenience in doing the work.

and owls, which are enemies Of these
rodents, are continuously prosecuted
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
culent vegetation and bark of young
trees, and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers, as
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method of con-
trolling this pest is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to be the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size of large
grapes. Moisten four quarts of these
and drain off excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth Of an ounce
OF powdered strychnine (alkaloid) i,
using pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose, and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
a stick. A systematic use of this
poison invariably results in an almost
complete determination Of pine mice.
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
faYorably with poisoning.

! EXPENSE OF RAISING HElFER
Estimated All Way From $50 to SIS
That Amount viii Often Purchase
Good Dairy Animal.

Is it cheaper to raise cows or to buy
them? Opinions vary as to the cost Of
raising heifer to milking age and 1t
has been reckoned all the way from
$50 to SIS.
II this is correct 1t may be more
profitable to buy than to raise them,
for that amount of money will often
purchase pretty good heifer about
ready to produce milk.
1t is probable in this reckoning that
retail town prices have been charged
for everything consumed and no al
lowance made for what was returned
to the land; also that the calf must
have been fed whole milk for a long
period.
