LYNCH RETAINS
CHAMPIONSHIP

New York, Dec. 23.-Joe Lynch
Of New York retained his worlds
bantamweight championship last
night as a result of victory over
Midget Smith, Harlem challenger,
in a 15-round contest at Madison
Square Garden. Lacking the
thrills Of most championship en-
counters, the bout was largely
triumph of superior boxing abil-
ity over rugged aggressiveness.
Lynch clearly outpointed his
rival, but displayed no decisive
punching prowess, with the ex-
ception Of one or two of the clos
ing rounds. Smith, an easy mark
for Lynch's rangy left, tried game
ly but Intellectually to penetrate
the champions defense.
The bout was the third that
Smith and Lynch had fought in
the last two years. Lynch gaining
decision in one of the previous
contests while the other ended In
draw. The champion conceded
over a pound IN defending his
crown, entering the ring at llG&,
while Smith weighed 118 pounds.

Harriet only waited long enough
after her dramatic exit to give Richard
a r~eassuring nod. Then she hurried
after Nina.
The girl was snbblng on her bed, and
for awhile she answered Harriet's
soothing touch Of voice and hand only
with angry jerks. Then they fell to
talking. and Nina eonfided for the first
time fully In the older woman Royals
letters; his exquisite cards, sent, with
Aowers, the pOemsShe7h had written her:
here they all were. Harriet sympa-
thiEed, sighed. and consoled her af-
fecttonately. Presently she was able
to suggest a new thought to Nina, one
that could NOT but be palatable to the
girls hurt spirit.
"You see. you're only seventeen, Nj
ma" Harriet said: "the age when most
girls are still In the schoolroom, long
before they have affairs! Well, you're

CHAPTER XIII.

Royal Blondin presently came to pay
his respects to Harriet in her changed
position. Nina had told her that he
had been forbidden the. house! in De-
ceInber; they had seen him only two or
three times since their return from
Bermuda, and then accidentally. Har-
Stet was thankful TO believe the affair
between him and Nina well over. The
girl: was growing up now, there were
ether men In her world, and for the
ssst of her eighteenth Birthday party
she had merely mentioned his name
anohg others.
Three days before the garden party
that was to mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted In with the assurance
that was quite characteristic Of him.
he rarely accepted an invitation, or
waited for one. Perhaps he was clever
enough to know that half his acquaint-
ances detested him theoretically, but
were glad to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came in from an after
nopn at the club to find him playing
with languid hands at the piano, and
he lazily ose to greet them. While
Nina was there, his attitude toward
both was pleasantly impersonal, but
his suggestion, which was more like a
command, that she run upstairs and
dress early, SO that they might have
q talk before dinner, sent the girl fly
ing, and he and Harriet could speak
more freely.
"Well, Harriet, / congratulate you!

this Nina returned a pouting:
