CHAPTER X


John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell
met for the FIST time In Madison
Square Garden, New York, May a. 1893.
The bout was scheduled 10 so for -four
rounds. Conditions Of the agreement
provided that The winner was 10 re-
celve 65 per cent. OF the net receipts
and the loser to take IS per cent.
The bout didn't go the four rounds
through Interference by the police, but
Il certainly was warm session while
Il lasttd. and would have been finished
in the dressing rooms had not friends
Of the boxers stepped between them
when they started after each other fol-
lowing a wordy argument.
Mitchell weighed only slightly more
than 400 pounds when he took his
place in the ring the night OF the night,
btu he was trained 10 the minute He
was a wonderfully bullt boxer and his
size could scarcely be counted against
him. Compared 10 him Sullivan loomed
like a mountain. He weighed more than
200 pounds and wheezed like bellows
when over-exerted. He was hog-fat
and not trained at all
Nevertheless, when the fighters took
their corners Sullivan's expression was
one OF contempt. He sneered across at
his opponent and his face wore the in
f1riated scowling visage that he al
Nays affected when about to go into
action.
In the FIRST round Sullivan continued
IN contemptuous manner toward his
smaller opponent, and for the amuse-
nnent OF the crowd condcscended %
nse only his left hand against Mitchell

FIRST time In his life.
Sullivan arose raging lie rushed Nit

When time was finally called Mitchell
was taking everything Sullivan had to
offer, but undoubtedly was in some
distress.
'Sullivan's anger did not leave him
When the second round opened ho
again charged Mitchell. The English
man was almost smothered by the nail-
lng arms Of the furious champion. Lefts
and rights rained on his head. He was
thrown from one side OF the ring 10
the other by the terrific punches He
did however, manage TO plant several
solid blows to the Sullivan mid"lff and
they were slowing up the fat Sullivan.
The third round was merely a repeti-

charging around like a wild man. was
using his fists like clubs Finally Capt
Alex Williams Of the police department

that he did not want to see Mitchell

reader shyly approa ches us with the
request that we please turn that SEN
tence around and tell how possible 1t
- for a young lady to get where she
is going with her arm around young

Why didn't we think of this? The
subject certainly offers possibilities.

- you and know, Mr.. Man Reader.
Here she is drawing a salary of twenty
dollars week All is well and good
and she is aiming to make more. Then
one day 1t happens. He is nice and
clean-cut and the thought of him has
a way of stealing in and shooting
thrills into the mere tipping of letter.
The thoughts recur more frequently.
The ringing of the phone bell takes
on a new significance.
Metaphorically speaking, our young
lady now has her arm around young
man.
OF course, just as we found with our
young man a few nights ago this un.
certainty is very upsetting. Then one
day the young man stamps certainty
! on the affair. He asks our girl to
marry him. What happens then?

TT is invariably noticeable that the

those who select a color that is becoming

Colors that are closely allied to ii. Some
women tire of continually using GER
tain color. and often resort to dress OF
decidedly different color just for
change only to find it rather an expen-
sive experiment inasmuch as it some
times means an entirely new outfit OF
hats. gloves and other accessories.
BY using tans, browns and taupes you
will find many little touches of color can
be given to a costume by adopting acces-
sores of brighter shades. The same
might also be said of blue. except that IL
is often a task to get blues that go we'll

shopping, the matching can be accom-
plished.

7 AM afraid. Mr.. Man Reader, I am
l. going to answef your query just the
way you thought would answer 1t.
A girl cannot get very far with her
arm around a young man! To a man
real love goes hand in hand with
ambition. 1t awakens thoughts of
five thousand dollars a year in his
mind But who ever heard OF the
girl who dreamed Of a raise in salary
the night her John proposed? No, my
friend, love is, as a rule. the death
knell for a woman's individual ambi-
tions In rare cases you Will find a
consuming ambition for a career that
upsets this rule. But even in these
cases you will rarely find that a
woman went as far as she might have
gone if no mans arm had encircled
her.
TT Is good to know that this Is true.
i Not all, but still the average WON
ans eventual business Is building a
home. For it is the woman who builds
the home! II is very hard to do two
Jobs at once.
What the world loses in the women
who sacrifice careers" to give undi-
vided attention to the business OF
home-m king and raising children,
surely Il gains thousand-fold in her
substitute offering-sturdy and inteili-
gently raised boys and girls. A solid.
substantial home--of which nations
themselves are built.
