CHAPTER vrI-continued.


But she went on without needing
him, until she stood almost at the enc
of the shaking structure. 1t was 9
dangerous place. The wind blew
strongly, sending her skirts flying
about her, and tumbling her hair upon
her shoulders.
"COme back, Kittyl" called Wilton
making his way across the planks un-
til he reached her side. He put out his
hand to steady her. Then he saw that
the tears were streaming down her
cheeks.
why, Kitty, what is it2' he begged.
81 didn't hurt your"
She shook his hand from her arm
with a violent gesture, leaning back ;
and suddenly she lost her stance and
toppled from the edge of the trestle
into the river below.
A plunge into that viscous water was
more dangerous than q fall. Wilton
realized it instinctively. He leaped feet
first and found himself struggling In
the gluey swamp, half mud, half wa
ter. Kitty, who had fallen into the
center of the stream, appeared half a
dozen feet away, her white face up
turned, her hands catching for support
as the shallow current carried her to-
ward the lake.
Fighting madly, Wilton detached his
limbs from the sucking mud and man
aged to grasp her skirt as she drifted
past him. With a desperate effort he
drew her to him and struggled
through the yielding muskeg until he
as able to catch an upright of the
estle-work.
He glanced at Kitty as he halted to
itch his breath. She lay passive In
/ arms, her eyes closed; she seemed
u have tainted, but she breathed cas-
lily, though quickly. Her dripping
clothes chung to her tightly, and her
fair hair streamed over his arms.
Then, ploddlng through the yielding
swamp, he struggled on until he
reached the shore. Kitty opened her
eyes and fixed them upon his.
'Thank God, we're all right now r
said Wilton. at was a near thing In
that muskeg. You lie quiet and rest a
little, and then wen hurry back, and
you must change your things quickly"
There was a quick catch Of Kitty's
breath. ooh, VIII, you are so blind !"
she whispered. Couldn't you see? Are
you going to make me tell you, VIII?
Are you going to make me tell you
that / love your"
She put her arms about his neck, and
her face on his shoulder. Wilton, dunn
hardly stirred; he did not
know what to do.

NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-Stanislaus
Zbyszko, worlds champion wrestler, re-
tanned his title last night in Madison
Square Garden b. defeating Earl Cad
dock i'm two out of three falls.
The champion won the first fall in -
minutes with a half nelson and a rolling
fall. Caddock took the second fall in 10
minutes. 30 seconds with an arm lock
and roll and Zbyszko took the third and
decisive fall in ~ minutes and 30 seconds
with a crotch hold and roll.
The third fall was disputed by nearly
everybody in the Garden, but Referee
F'leeson, Zbyszko and his seconds. If the
champion rolled Caddock out Of crotch
hold it did not appear that the shoulders
of the Iowan touched the canvas. Cad
dock disputed the decision and the crowd
hOwled and hoeted for fully 10 minutes.
However the referees decision stands,
and Zbyszko is credited with another vic
tory. So far as the contests are CON
Ccrned it cannot be denied that the best
man won. Zhyszko's victory over Cad
dock was justified by tlfc records and past
performances of the two men. and Strang-
