THE EVENING STORY.
FANNY'S BOY.
Copyright. 1916. by ". Werner)

When Jimmy was two years old every
one knew he was being spo1ied, ana
uncles, aunts, cousins, horde OF great
aunts and great -uncles, besides the two
grandfathers and grandmothers. tried
to interfere. But Fanny, Jimmy's little
pale, blue-eyed widowed mother. fierce
ly resented interference. She said he
was her baby and no one else's and she
guessed she'd rear him any way she
wanted.
Jimmy's father had been killed in an
explosion at the big steel mills. where
he was a high salaried overseer He
left plenty of insurance and the courts
gave plenty of damages money, so
Fanny was Independent, and quite able
to do as she pleased. Perhaps 1t was
her grief that made her SO very ir-
ritable when every one tried to advise
her. Perhaps it was merely because,
being a very human young woman, so
much advice simply stirred up the la
tent irritability which exists in every
human mind.
At any rate, in a short time most OF
the relatives huffily withdrew and re-
marked that as far as they were con-
cerned, the youngster might dine on
butter scotch and marshmalloWs and
stay up TIL midnight every night; and
be dressed like little popinjay. wheth-
er Fanny could afford it or not, but
his mother need not come to them for
sympathy later.
Some Of them remarked that he
needed a stepfather. since his father
was dead. But Fanny did not marry.
She remained a little, pale, black
garbed widow and devoted herself to
Jimmy. Jimmy developed into little.
pale. slim boy. The paleness came
from too much candy. AS matter OF
fact, Fanny never could refuse him
anything he roared for. And for SO
slim and pale a child he had fright
fully loud roar.
Fanny would not send him to public
school. She shuddered at the idea. In
stead she sent him to a private school
that cut deeply into even her fairly
good income. The head of this exclu-
sive school was put on her oath to re-
port to Jimmy's mother IL any of the
large boys teased him. Fanny lived in
horrible dread that some young brute
of fourteen or so would kick or slap
her darling Jimmy.
Most Of the cousins and second
cousins had moderate salaries. They
were glad to send their children to the
public school, and the very word ."pri-
vate" put them in peeyish hYmor.

WILLARD MUST IMPROVE
Coffey's Adviser Says Moran Is
Most Dangerous Man Jess
Has Faced.

NEW YORK, March 10.-George En-
gle was an interested spectator during
Jess Willards daily setting-up exer-
cises yesterday. Engle is the man who
coached Jim Coffey against Frank Mo-
ran in their two thrillers at Madison
Square Garden.
Engle watched Jess with the prac-
ticed eye of fistic connoisseur. When
it was all over Engle spoke up right
pert: Moran has more than an outside
chance. Indeed, he is the most danger
GUS man that Willard has ever faced
and that doesn't except Jack johnson
by any means. Johnson never was the
hitter that Moran is.
Those who We're associated with
Frank in his earlier fights haven't the
least conception of the improvement in
the man. His clean-cut victories over
Coffey have been stamped by some as
more or less lucky achievements. espe-
cially the last one. in which Jim Cof-
fey came within an ace of skimming
through for the decision.
But Moran, with the GOODNESS of a
Cans. wore down his man punch by
punch, and when Coffey's knees began
to sound the William Tell Xylophone
overture, over went the Michael Stro-
goff. and Billy Gibsons heart almost
stopped beating. 1 want to say right
now that Jim Coffey is a far greater
boxer than he is given credit for, and
in beating him Moran has convinced
me is is a fighter. I've watched Will
lard's every move and 1 don't hesitate
in saying that if he doesn't speed up
his right-hand punch, Moran's going to
beat him to the cross as sure as you're
alive"
Willard worked hard. Especially
were the workouts with Rodel and
Monahan spirited. Monahan's lips were
cut and puffed when his two rounds
grind with the champion was over.
Monahan fought as though he had a
chance to win the title.
Willard seemed to enjoy the rumpus,
for he mixed merrily at every oppor-
tunity.
Moran spent the day in idleness He
will not work until tomorrow.
