recommend Mustero1e for sore throat,

Lucy smiled ecstatically. We'll, am

would be very ungrateful of me If l
did not trust Him for the rest"
Indeed it would" Agnes agreed.
Yet she was wondering how much
she, herself. was trusting. She tried
not to be anxious, for she was happy
in Phil's love for her But there were
times when she felt as if the attitude
of his family, and the fact that he had
still two years at college, stood like a
stone wall between the present and
their future life together.

No, Auntie" Agnes said sternly.
you are planning to get yourself out
of the way for our sakes. You must
not do that"
"Oh, morally, dear, I think
would be more comfortable in my
own room," the invalid insisted. So
earnest was she about it that Agnes
decided to seem to believe her unsel-
fish fraud.

Thus it came about that. after she
had greeted Philip Hale, Agnes led
him toward Miss Lucy's room, but at
the door he checked her.
Darling" he said, Il am going in
to see your aunt, but l want you to
stay here in the living room. Some
one is coming to call on you in a
minute. 1 left him at the front door

LITTLE BOB MONA
HAMMERS BIG COX
ALL OVER RING
Wisconsin Lumberjack
Rains Blows on Giant
In Lively Battle.

Bob Moha, the Wisconsin lumber
jack. weighing i69 pounds, outfought
Joe Cox, who tips the beam at 2io
pounds, at the Manhattan A. c. last
night.
The little sawed-oY, hammered down
Moha was after Cox all the way and
once or twice had the 8 foot 4 giant
Keeling. In the sixth round Moha
opened a cut over Cox's left eye and
kept the optic dimmed for the rest OF
the 20.
Cox rallied desperately in the last
round, but could make no impression
on the woodchopper. The blows that
he sent at Moha's jaw glanced off like
water, and the little fellow kept COM
ing. Moha scorned body blows. He
kept reaching up and punching Cox TO
hard on Cox's jaw that the big fellows
knees sagged and he seemed in bad
way.
Considering the fact that Cox is a
foot taller, Moha had to reach some.
He stepped on tip toes and with a
quick spring would reach Cox on the
eye, ear or jaw with as much ease as
though the heights were equal.
From the first round on Cox was as
helpless as buffalo trying to shake
off mountain lion, only Cox's tough
ness saved him from going down.
The men seemed so unevenly matched
that Charlie Mitchell, the veteran prize
fighter, offered 10 bet TO 1 in English
soyereigns that Cox would land a
knockout in two rounds. Nobody took
him up, for which Mitchell is thank
full.
The fight is an illustration of what
Willard-Dillon bout might look like.
The comparative weights and heights
are about the same. The decisive vic
tory Of Moha will increase the clamor
for that match.
Moha showed that he could take as
well as give. Cox bounced a few off
his jaw that would have spilled many
a heavyweight, but Moha kept coming.
The lumberjack's best blow is left
hook. 1t has some force, too. Often
it had Cox rocking like a tall tree
ready to drop under the axe.
The house was not particularly big,
though the fight, instead Of proving a
burlesque, was real battle. The good
little man" made very good
In the preliminary, Larry Murtha,
with one eye closed early in the bout,
beat Charlie Hayes in four furious
rounds.
The semi-fnal was a six-round race
between Terry Miller and Bonnie Vol
gar. The latter was announced as
amateur champion of something. Both
were unskilled laborers and Volgar just
a shade less skillful than Miller.
Benny Rosenthal or as il is pro-
nounced in upper Harlem, Benny Ros-
enstall, acted as arbitrator and an
nouncer. The we'll known toreador
made a fowery Grafton in honor of
Charlie Mitchell, who fought John l..
Sullivan and James J. Corbett in the
days of real battles.
