Tense made him appear awkward.
1t was noticed that after the third
round Kilbane went back on his
heels, stood flatfooted and seemed
weary of limb. He boxed well
with his arms, but he was not
"riding with the punches" as he
does when he dances.
Some of the experts thought
that Johnny was merely biding his
time, measuring his man and
waiting for the proper spot to
begin his attack. AS the rounds
slipped by the experts began to
ask questions.
"When is Johnny going to
start? ?" they queried.
Nobody seemed to know.
That question never was an
swered because Kilbane never did
even START.
His weight of years in the ring
began to bear down on him III the
fourth round. After he tried his

Kilbane was vastly overrated
before the fight. Criqui is hailed
as a wonder because he knocked
Johnny cold with the first good
right-hand punch he landed. We
probably are all wrong, but our
impression was that Kilbane had
not even BEGUN to TRY to fight
when he was goaled. He owed it
to his friends to make at least
ONE sustained effort. We sat at
the ringside-in the first row
and did not observe Kilbane cut
loose more than three times.
Then they were single blows
and Kilbane went back into his
shell when Criqui took them and
kept coming in.

Early last year Firpo arrived in
this country, possessed of much
ambition but little of the stuff
called in some misguided circles the
filthy lucre. The senior possessed
prodigious strength, an awe-lnsplr-

else.
In fourteen months the innocent
son of Argentina, little Versed IN

has only made for himself a little
more than a paltry hundred thou

ability has just begun.

Frenchman Did All the Fighting

Frenchman Did AL the Flghtlng.
IF Kilbane had a fight in him
when he arrived in New York
- he left it in the gymnasium.
Johnny's work was all calculated
to improve his wind. He did
practically no boxing. Against
Criqui he appeared to be charged.
He could pick off Eugene's
punches but could not launch an
offensive himself.
Kilbane can still hit. Not hard
enough, perhaps, to stop Criqui
but he can hit. He would have
looked better in defeat if he had
snapped punches with the
Frenchman from the start. He
might have had a chance to get
one over before he tried.
For the first three rounds
Johnny moved as if in a daze. He
forced contemptuous smile AMI
twice or three times addressed
Criqui who could not understand
him. The poilu's left-hand
reached the Americans stomach
often enough to convince Kill
bane that he could not long with
stand such an attack. Instead of
taking a chance then with his
rapidly waning strength, Kilbane
should have made a fight of it

Justin Parsons was on his way
shortly, while Kate sat beside the I'M
conscious man on the couch. AS she
watched she turned the events of the
past few days over in her mind. She
couldn't get away from the fact that
his name was James. She glanced
down the line of his figure. He was
slender-quite slender. She caught
her breath, sat erect, was held taut
by new thought.
Could this man-this man who lay
before her--bruised and unconscious,
be the one with whom she saw Alice
walking?
There was disturbing similarity In
the figure. The injured man seemed
slightly the heavier of the two, but 1t
would be easy to be mistaken about
such a matter. for, she reasoned, she
had only glimpse of the man as he
walked with the girl.
Kate watched his lips. They moved
slightly If he would only speak.
Then she would know! She never for
got voices. And she had heard his
voice very distinctly.
Alice-Dorothy - the voice - this
stranger. 1t was maddening. What
did 1t all mean? What connection had
each with the other?
And Dan! What had he been to
all of these people? Had he been
anything to them? By what right
had they walked ruthlessiy into her
dream castle and robbed 1t Of the
thing which had made it beautiful
her ideal of love, the one great love ?
Why?
Steps on the path. Someone was
coming.
