NEW YORK, Feb. 11-Charlie
White of New York will act as
referee for the 10-round match
to be staged at Madison Square
Garden March between Jess
Willard and Frank Moran. He
was referee for the last big
heavyweight match, when Jack
Johnson won from Jim Jeffries

DOPE ON SPORT PAGES WINS
FOR HIM, SAPS BOY WONDER

Joe Steeher, the phenomenal
young wrestler brought from
oblivion by the revival of the
mat game, says many OF his
matches have been won for him
by newspapers.
"On account of the dope writ
ten about me | am known as the
chap with a wonderful leg scis-
sors hold says Stecher. at has
been written that | have a squeez-
ing pressure of several thousand
pounds in my legs and that the
hold | use is deadly. In fact, the
leg scissors has become as ia
nous as the Gotch toe hold.
Consequently. every wrestler
| meet is on the lookout for the
scissors grip, and he leaves open
ings for other holds.
Il have not used the scissors
on half of my bouts. | know and
use other holds, just like other
wrestlers do. Half the time | do
not have to think about using the
scissors because my opponent, in
protecting himself from the grip,
lets me slam on the half-Nelson
or some other good hold.
The unexpected counts in
wrestling as in boxing. baseball
or business.
Stetcher is just big boy, only
22 years of age. In street clothes
he looks like a school boy. But
beneath his little checkered cap
are more brains than the average
wrestler has, and beneath his
neat fitting suit are arms and
legs of rare strength.
Stetcher scales around 200, but
seems small for the weight. At
that, he is light for the heavy
weight wrestling game. Most of
the men he meets outweigh him
many pounds and lot of them
are of the "bruiser" type.
The boy has had'51 bouts. His
shoulders have never touched the
mat. He won the American cham
pionship by defeating Charley
Cutler, a veteran at the game,
then defended the title against
Americus, Hussane, the Turk,
and others.
In the International tourna-
ment at New York he defeated
the sensational Masked Marvel,
and is in the running for the $10,-
600 to be given the winner of the
tourney.

the new club. He will be placed
in charge of the park, and the
only thing to be decided is the
proportion of stock in the new
club which will be given him.
President Blewett has gone to
Great Falls, where the people are
enthusiastic over the possibility
of getting into the Northwestern
league. Because the town is SO
small, Butte does not believe that
Great Falls has a chance.

CHAPTER XVI.

On the morning of the twenty-sixth
Duane rode into Bradford in time to
catch the early train. His wound dld
not seriously iEcapacitate him. Long
streth was with him. And Miss Long
streth and Ruth Herbert would not
be left behind. They were all leaving
Fairdale forever. Longstreth had
turned over the whole Of his property
to Morton, who was to divide it as he
and his comrades believed just.
Duane had left Fairdale with his
party by night, passed through Sander
son in the early hours of dawn. ana
reached Bradford as he had planned.
That fatal morning found Duane
Outwartlly calm, but inWartily he was

sound in his ears that was not all
the rush of the wind. Something drag
ged ct him.
Apparently one side Of his mind was
unalterably fixed, while the other was
hurrying conglomeration of flashes
Of thought, reception of sensations.
He could not get calmness. By and by,
almost involuntarily, he hurried faster
on. Action seemed to make his state
less oppressive; it eased the weight.
But the farther he went on the harder
It was to continue. Had he turned his
back upon love, happiness, perhaps on
life itself?
There seemed no use to so on far
Their until he was absolutely sure Of
himself. Duane received clear
warning thought that such work as
The Tomahawk., 1916-11-02
CHAPTER XIV.

Duane returned to Fairdale and
camped in the mesquite till the twenty
third of the month. The few days
seemed endless. All he could think
of was that the hour in which he must
disgrace Ray Longstreth was slowly
but inexorably coming. In that wait
ing time he learned what love was
and also duty. When the day at last
Iawned he rode like one possessed
down the rough slope, hurting stones
and crashing through the bush, with a

seemed haunting and driving him
could never be carried out in the mood
under which he labored. He hung on
to that thought. Several times he
slowed up, then stopped, only to go on
again. At length, as he mounted a
low ridge, Fairdale lay bright and
green before him, not far away, and
the sight was q conclusive check.
There were mosquitoes on the ridge,
and Duane sought the shade beneath
them. It was the noOn-hour, with hot,
glary sun and no wind. Here Duane
had to have out his fight. Duane was
utterly unlike himself; he could not
bring the old self back; he was not
the same man he once had been. But
he could understand why. It was be-
cause Of Ray Longstreth. Temptation
assailed him. To have her his wife !!
It was impossible. The thought was
insidiously alluring. Duane pictured
home. He saw himself riding through
the cotton and rice and cane, home to
stately old mansion, where long
cared hounds bayed him welcome,
and a woman looked for him and met
him with happy and beautiful smiles.
There might-there would be children.
And something new, strange, con-
founding with its emotion, came to life
deep in Duane's heart. There would
be children! Ray their mother! The
kind Of life a lonely outcast always
yearned for and never had! He saw
it all. felt it all.
But beyond and above all other
claims came Captain MacNelly's. 1t
was then there was something cold and
deathlike in Duane's soul. For he knew
whatever happened, of one thing he
was sure-he would have to kill either
Longstreth or Lawson. Longstreth
might be trapped into arrest; but Law
son had no sense, no control, no fear.
He would snarl like panther and go
for his gun, and he would have to be
killed. This, Of all consummations, was
the one to be calculated upon.
Duane came out of 1t all bitter and
callous and sore-in the most fitting of
moods to undertake q difficult and
deadly enterprise. He had fallen upon
his old, strange, futile dreams, now
rendered poignant by reason of love.
He drove away those dreams. In their
place came the images Of the olive
skinned Longstreth with his sharp
eyes, and the dark, evil-faced Lawson,
and then returned tenfold more thrill
ing and sinister the old strange pas
sion TO meet POppin
It was about one o'clock when
Duane rode into Fairdale. The streets
for the most part were deserted. He
went directly to find Morton and Nm-
mer. He found them at length, rest
less, somber, anxious, but unaware Of
the part he had played at Ord. They
said Longstreth was home too. It
was possible that Longstreth had ar
rived home in ignorance.
Duane told them to be on hand in
town with their men in case he might
need them, and then with his teeth
locked he set off for Longstreth's
ranch.
Duane strobe through the bushes
and trees, and when nearing the porch
he heard loud, angry, familiar voices.
Longstreth and Lawson were quarrel
ing again. How Duane's lucky star
guided him! He had no plan for &C
ton but his brain was equal to q

ing, had endured the long hours OF
patience. The whistle of the train
made him leap.
1t was fast train, yet the ride
1 seemed slow.
Duane did not speak to Longstreth
and the passengers in the car, changed
| his seat to one behind his prisoner.
The girls sat in seat near by and
| were pale but composed.
Duane did not speak to Longstreth
again till the train stopped at Val
Verde.
They got off the car, and the girls
followed as naturally as ordinary
travellers. The station was n good
deal larger than that ut Bradford, and
there was considerable action and
hustle incident to the arrival Of the
train.
Duane's sweeping gaze searched
faces, rested upon Il man who seemed
familiar. This fellows look, too, was
that of one who knew Duane, but was
waiting for Il sign, cue. Then Duane,
recognized him-MacNelly, clean-shav-
en-. Without mustache he appeared
different, younger.
When MacNelly saw that Duane in
tended to greet him, hurried forward
to meet him. A keen light flashed
from his eyes. He was glad, eager,
yet suppressing himself, and the
chances he sent back and forth from
Duane to Longstreth were questioning.
doubtful. Certainly Longstreth did
not look the part Of an outlaw.
"Duane! Lord, I'm glad to see you"
was the Captains greeting. Then ut
closer look into Duane's face his
warmth tled-something he saw there
checked his enthusiasm. or ut least It's
| utterance.
"N1acNelly, shake hands with Ches-
eldine," said Duane, low-voiced.
The ranger stood dumb, motionless.
But he saw Longstreth's instant &C
ton, and awkwardly he reached for
the Outstretched hand.
"Any of your men down hereT'
queried Duane, sharply.
"No. They're uptown"
"Come. MacNelly, you walk with
him. We've ladies' in the party. I'll
come behind with them"
! They set off uptown. Longstreth
walked as If he were with friends on
the way to dinner. The girls were
mute. MacNelly walked like a man
in trance. There was not a word
spoken in four blocks.
Presently Duane espied stone
building on corner Of the broad
street. There was big sign, "Itanch-
er's Bank"
"There's the hotel" said MacNelly.
"Some of my men are there. We've
scattered around"
They crossed the street, went
through office and lobby, and then
Duane asked MacNelly to take them
to n private room. Without word
the Captain complied. When they
were all inside Duane closed the door,
and, drawing a deep breath as If Of
relief, he faced them calmly.
"Miss Longstreth, you and Miss
Ruth try to make yourselves comfort
able now," he said. "And dout be dis
tresscd." Then he turned to his cap
tain. "MacNelly, this girl is the
daughter Of the man I've brought to
you, and this one is his niece"
Then Duane briefly related Long
streth's story, and, though he did not
spare the rustler chief, Ne was gener-
GUS.
"When I went after Longstreth."
concluded Duane, ut was either to
kill him or offer him his freedom on

his daughters sake. He has already
