In his letter to the Grand Forks

logical to suppose that If Wilson
wants to fght at Ill he will. have to
take notice Of the challenges which
Mike has sent to him and also that
refusal to meet Harry 'Greb Wilson
has been suspended in thirteen states
and as Minnesota has not taken such
action 1t Is N Of the few states
where he can fight. In any event he
will have to come west.

chance at the title will make the bout

cut down when Johns made two free

one point when he shot long field

these were suspended from the tree
by a string which shone in the after

Little stars had given their serv.

twinkled from among all the branches.
1t was too much for the little sub

tree where they were to admire 1t.

"Yes." said practical Robert, "they

Mrs. Martin nodded.

to get the trees and trim them for

"Come on let's get to bed quick now,

Robert.

Robert.
"Finally the fairy queen sent out
