went back to the station and had to
wait two hours for train.
The week dragged it's weary
length along. Saturday came at
last, and Lancelot went to bed with
the first CLEAN of happiness that had
illuminated his gray existence since
the Monday. Tomorrow he would
see May once more in her own little
fat, where he had never felt any
thing but at home.
Voices came to him through the

lion. All his life Lancelot had
bowed meekly before the sings and
arrows Of outrageous fortune; al
bis life he had accepted atfronts as
his hirthright. But now the break
ing point had been reached. he was
looking on The world-and particu-
larly Mr.. Flctchcr-through a mist
Of red. That wonderful hair Of
Mays had held him slave to her
every whim. But now He
uttered sound that was half sob,
half snarl, and flung himself on the
press agent.
"What the hell" said Mr..
Fletcher
Mr.. Fletcher was no poltroon. He
was a man who kept up his end in
the world. But hitherto he had
never been called upon to do it
physically, and he had permitted
himself to become a trihe soft. He
reeled before Lancelot's onslaught,
tripped over stool and collapsed on
the sofa.
"Get up." said Lancelot through
his teeth, and stood breathing
heavily.
The press agent got up. The first
shock of surprise over, he was pre-
pared to enter more fully into this
matter. The unexpectedness of
Lancelot's attack had put him at a
disadvantage in the opening stages
Of the campaign, but he had now
adjusted his mind to the business in
hand. His blood was up. He had
no notion why he was being as
saulted by a perfect stranger, but
his forehead was tingling where
Lanceot had struck it, and his IA
vorite tie, torn from its moorings by
Lanceot's clutching hand, was prac-
tically a total loss, and he was IN
the mood to seek reparation for these
outrages.
May stood rigid, paralyzed spec
tator of the proceedings. AT the be-
ginning she had started forward and
laid a hand on Lancelot's arm, but he
had shaken it off with an energy sc
savage and unexpected that she had
shrunk back, terrified, against the
wall; and she remained there now
because it seemed the only place IN

" MEANWHILE Lancelot and Mr..
WI Fletcher fought spaciously all
over the place.
There are few things which your
red blooded writer enjoys describing
more than fight But it has to be
che right sort Of fight, with sec
onds and rounds and may-the- best
man-win and all that sort of thing
An untidy brawl like this gives him
no chance. There is no fnesse about
it. AS far as Lanceot and Mr..
Fletcher were concerned, the Queens
berry rules might never have been
written. Mr.. Fletcher tore Lance
lots collar off and Lancelot hit Mr.
Fletcher with a volume of love poetry
which was lying convenient to his
hand on a small table. Mr.. Fletcher
knocked Lancelot against the small
table and Lancelot grabbed the small
table and hit Mr.. Fletcher with that.
In fact, to avoid going into weari-
some detail, he hit Mr. Fletcher with
practically everythingg in the room
except May, who lodged; the sofa,
which was too heavy to lift; the
bookcase, which was fastened to the
wall, and the picture of "September

reached. 1t was we'll directed blow

and painted.

horribly. His lip was cut and the

Natives Were Simple

Speaking Of the Indians whom he
found here, Columbus commented
on their extreme simplicity, barter
ing like idiots cotton and gold for
fragments Of bows, glasses, bottles
and jars" He added that they
practiced no kind of idolatry and
'as far as have learned, every man
throughout these islands is united
to one wife, except chiofs.'
Speaking of all the West Indian
islands which he had discovered,
Columbus said of Hayti, in another
letter to Louis de Santangel:
"Yet the preference must be
given to Espanola on account Of
The mines Of gold which it possesses
and the facilities il oti'e.s for trade
with continents and countries this
