Once upon q time there was q
queer little village ali made of bam-
boo shoots right in the very dark
center Of the great. fearful Jungle.
And in the very center OF this viii
lage in the jungle where great
snakes crawled and tigers screamed.
lived The Chief with his little Grip
pied son. Bonto.
when Bonto was a creeping baby
he had been the pride of his black
pappy and brown nanny. They de-
clared that he was strong as a young
elephant and brave as lion. Then
there came the day OF the great
storm. when trees N hundred years
old were torn UP by their roots. and
flashes Of lightning burned the bam-
boo huts Of the village.
Little Bonto had crept away into
the forest before the fearful storm
began. II was not until the next day
that they found him under the trunk
Of a monster tree with both his little
legs crushed. and it was from that
day that he became known as Little
Crippled Bonto.
suppose that all you children
think that he was petted and loved
more than ever because Of his
crooked feet. But this was not so.
The Chief was ashamed Of the puny
lad who could never take his own
place MS ruler OF the country and
ride at the head OF the army on 3
great white elephant.
Even Bonto's brown nanny scold-
Cd away at him or roughly boxed
his ears when he got in her way.
Poor little chap. Day after day he
weuld sit In the door Of the bamboo
hut and watch the other boys and
girls Of the village run and jump on
kheIY way to the cocoanut trees
where they would gather the great
brown nuts while they threw sticks
Mt the chAttering monkeys and
Mocked them.
Nov there was queer thing about
this village where the black and
brown paople lived. Neighboring
txfsaa called IL The Place of the Rosy
Light. FOR, although great trees
and tan grasses kept out all sun
Nxht from the village. it was always
pink 40 II from the glow Of great
Sonnrs.
At some time or other everyone in
the village from the oldest grand
father to the youngest child who
could toddle had tried to walk out
towards the high hill from which
tha rosy light Seemed to come. but
ma the light Rlowed more and more
brightly It seemed TO dazzle the
eyes OF all those who looked upor
a. and soon their faces would scorch
and smoke as II fire were klndled

upon their cheeks. Then the people
would come back home and say that
an evil spirit Of fire dweit upon the
hill and sent out his burning sparks.
Little Bonto did not believe their
tales. He loved the pink glow that
seemed To come from the far-on hill
country. Day after day he would
sit in the door 81 the hut and forget
the seedlings Of his brown nanny
and black panpy as he watched the
rosy light turn the dark forest into
a fairyland Of pinkncss.
Then there came day when the
whole village went away to the year
lv picnic that was held in the dark
depths Of the jungle. and only little
crippled Bonto was left in the viii
laRe.
When the last sound Of the merry
makers had been lost in the silence
Of the forest. Bonto felt a strange
sense Of happiness steal over him.
He felt strong. too. and as II his poor
twisted legs could carry him away.
Hardly knowing what he did. he
stood upon his feet and when he
found that he did not fall to the
ground. he tried to walk.
And, would you believe it. He
could not only walk. but he could
walk more swiftly thAn any warrior
Of the tribe. HE seemed to almost
fly over the ground. What was more.
he was running directly toward the
high Hill whence the rosy light
seemed to come.

Dempsey is three inches taller than Carpentier-another seeming handicap for the Frenchman. For, while Dempsea rises to the height of six feet one and one-half inches, Carpenter. according to latest measurements received, is only five feet nine and one-half inches tall But there are some who will contend that the fact that Carpentier is shorter than Dempsey gives to the Frenchman a psychological advantage.
 That faction points to the records which show that Dempsey has done his great est battling against giants, and has failed to show real knockout power in contests with smaller men. The tiniest battler he letver met knocked him out-the only time that Dempsey was ever put to sleep. Against, Willie Meehan and Billy Miske 1 both lighter and shorter than himself sDempsey failed to score knockouts and fost decision to each.

larger man doesn't always mean an ad- vantage. They recall that Dempsey whipped Jess Willard in terrible fashion That's true. but Dempsey, in that in- stance, had an offset with speed and had youth in his favor
 Willard was slow and sluggish. Age had dulled the trifling speed that he knew in youth. And he was rusty from long absence from the ring. Willard wasn't properly trained either And all those things discounted his natural ad- Vantages as regards height, weight and reach.
 But Dempsey has not merely the nat ural advantages, but also matches Car pentier in speed, has infinitely greater punihc power, more glorious youth and aggresstveness, which eclipses that of any man in the modern history of the ring.
 Based on past performances Demp- sey is the far better fighter. Every vic tory he has achieved has been mar velous tribute to his terrific punching power. Outside of Meehan and Miske, no man has travelled the route with him in the last ten mouths. He has annihi- lated e. cry foeman
 Carpenter, on the other hand, has done nothing remarkable. He has been baten by some second-rater Americans. He se-' cured victory via the foul route from Gunboat Smith, but scored it at a time it is reported that Smith had him in a bad way. True, he did knock out Joe Beckett in less than a round, but Beck ett, from all the stories that trickle into this country, was a much over-rated fighter and would have been a mark for any first-cIass heavyweight. FIVE TO ONE ON DEMPSEY At this time it would seem that Demp- sey has practically every advantage over Carpenter, and if the two should meet it wouldn't be at all surprising if Demp- sey ruled a 5-to-1 favorite in the betting Here are the most recent measurements and statistics concerning both fighters
