THE UGLY CREATURE.

"Oh, hear some one screaming" said the girl who was adventuring to the House of Secrets. f
 "So do l." said the boy, who was her companion.
 Gracious" said Master Thoughtful ness, who was with them, tits that horrible creature again."
 What horrible creature?" asked the boy. Come with me and we shall see her. We'll stop her this time. Hurry My, but it's hard for anyone to do anything with her." ..
 "She sounds perfectly terrible" said the girl. "What awful tscreams she gives" . .-
 "She is not screaming" said Master Thoughtfulness. ..-.a ..
 "Who is screaming, then?" asked the boy.
 Let's hurry. We mustn't even talk as we go. Follow me-" @...,E< 7
 So they followed Master Thought fitness as he went up a short hill. He could run very fast, and he got to the top of the hill, where there was little red house before the boy and the girl got there. When they got there they found Master Thoughtfulness talking in very loud way, and his face looked very angry, so different from the way it had looked. A
 Now, you just stop that for good and. all" he said. "You are not fair. In the first place, you're cruel. In the second place, you're hypocrite. And in the third place I don't like that ex- precision of 1t hurting you more than 1t does the child, . .
 Lots of people usa H. and you don't object" the woman said. She was horrible looking. Her hair was stringy and hung about her head in a very unddy way. Her mouth was very big, and her teeth were very yell low. Her hands were enormous, and the veins stuck out on them. She was tall and quite stout, but 1t was her face which they noticed most. It was such horrible face that they were sure her ugliness wasn't skin deep. They didn't believe that she was beautiful, even when one got to know her.
 And they didn't feel as if they ever wanted to know her, not in million years. Such a dreadful person they had never seen before. Her face was so cruel looking, just the sort of face, they imagined, which belonged to a person who could be cruel to smaller children and to animals. Then the boy remembered, with pang, that he had kicked the little toad. He, too, was cruel, and if he was ever cruel

CUBkNFENCERS
EXPECTED To
APPEAR HERE
Match With Washington
Swordsmen Likely to BE Held
at the Racquet Club.

ARRANGEMENTS are being made for
the Cuban fencing team, which Is to
meet the New York Athletic Cluo
fencers about May %. to hold sup
Elementary matches with the Boston
Athletic Association, the Fencers
Club Of New York, team from Phil
adelphia, and the Washington Fen
GERS Club.
The Boston A. A. is planning
teams for both the epee and the foil.
The Fencers' Club of New York eX'
poets to hold a three weapon match
between teams of four men each, in
which each man will fence his oppo-
nent in all three weapons. This is
a novel type OF competition which IT
is thought will be extremely interest
ing, as II will compare the all-around
fencing ability Of the members OF
the two teams. A saber team con-
sisting Of three men has been formed
in the city of Philadelphia to fence
an equal number of Cubans at the
Racquet Club OF that city. 1t Is eK-
pected that a team of three fOilsmen
representing the Washington Fen
GERS Club will fence the, same num-
Der Of Cuban foilsmen at the Rae
quet Club at Washington.
1t is hoped that Maj. Roman Fonts,
the celebrated Cuban swordsman, will
be able to give exhibitions with lead
ing American amateurs or profes-
sionals in all the cities where
matches will be held.
These supplementary meets will
take place between the New York
Athletic Club event and the national
outdoor epee championships which
are to be held at Travers Island on
May 28. which meet, 1t is supposed,
the Cubans will enter as individuals.

partner.

But IL Tender meets Leonard he
will run a heavy risk of being
knocked out. That would mean that
his value as an attraction would de-
crease by half at least. II ~ould
mean the loss of many thousands OF
dollars TO him.
The chance that he might win the
title is not great enough to offset the
risk he would run. but il he could
get a liberal slice of the receipts IL
would, be a different matter.
There is no question that Leonard

exceed $3.50, 900.
