Probably no crime has ever ere

man was one of the country. At

peculiar malady that affected his

For thirty years or More he had
been wandering up and down the
timber country, selling hospital
tickets to the woodsmen. These
tickets entitled a lumberman to
treatment at the hospital in Ash

though in the luminous haze of cigar
cite smoke his features were a degree
drawn and pale. His voice had a
natural sincerity. The eyes, blue-gray
and steady, seemed to hide none of the
secrets that lowered in the lines around
his mouth. The gentle excellence of
his brow and head ranked him one
with those who had been carefully
directed, well cOmbed at the start.
Con was a good listener. His were
well-built limbs, the shoulders almost
too massive, though he was slim
through the waist, and sometimes
abashed at the fneness of his hands.
The integrity of this only son of
two consummate lovers had been tenn
pered in the roaring pits of the world.
Con had never been one to wait for

hood had been rubbed away, and be-
fore mans dignity had come to him,
he had been famously ready. He had
scaled the walls around the garden of
illusion, battered his way ioyfully

CHAPTER !
The Waif

There was a quiet urge in her veins
that took her to John Lexington. 1t
was a gray-feathered night in spring,
and she refused to turn back. John
held her hands in his, and could not
accept as real the great beauty of the
world. He had been writing verses as
usual when she came to his door and
the gentle lines were as always of her,
his Mary, his unattainable. Now the
flame that he loved shone forth in her.
She threaded her destiny with his, In

the dim, dusty hallway outside his
door he found her arms about his
neck, and that springtide evening
lowered in their kiss.
Mary would not go back. Her family,
the proper Martins, had estranged her
when they refused to receive the man
Of her choice. The fact that his verse
had once appeared in print served only
to whet their disapproval. He could
not make three hundred a year that
way They would have no more of
him, and no further talk; A shining
new and silent electric had been
brought to the porte-cOchere, and
long-desired pearls appeared on her
dreSsing-t table These gifts and their
bald object won only storm from
Mary. When she had locked her
mother from the room, and had lain
upon the floor to think and resent,
the spring twilight had found her, had
touched her cheek and raised her
from the rug 1t whispered to her,
and caused again the familiar tumuIt
in her heart. John. her poet! Twi-
light pressed the barb of desire in her
flesh her thoughts were bitter-sWeet.
She admitted to herself that it was
not his writing She wanted, for he
might not be a great poet. She for
got his delicate praise of her eyes,
her light-brown hair her young limbs.
All of that might fade some day. She
loved him the most for their moments
Of silence. SO, while the last robin
of the day caroled outside of her
window. and the soft dusk sank upon
the trees and lawn, she obeyed her
own heart, and went to him.
II will work" he said, when they
went gaily down the stairs Of the
rooming- house.
You will write, John" she said.
YES, and work with my hands, too
for wages. I can make a song of it,"

asked

There was at last q series of events
that quickened his longing to a degree
that would not be put aside The
pressure of these strange events form
ed his life, once for all. The better
story begins here, the final ravel1ng
out of the ugly weave in his days.
Through these events, all the lOngings
of early years, even the warnings OF
those who went before him, were
intensified and definitely answered.
Destiny, for Con Lexington, began
swiftly to untangle at dinner,
quiet affair with one of his newest
friends.
This fate-laden dinner was shaded
and silvery served for two, in the
smaller dining-room of the Wedger
house. The members of the family
were all away, except one.
Cecil Wedger sat opposite his guest,
Lexington, and talked candidly of the

good, having been accomplished by
Cecil's own attache-a Chinese whose
existence seemed to begin and end in

likeness to John Lexington only about
the eyes and temples, something grave
and tense, that disappeared when he
laughed. He tried not to show the

Firpo sensation is the question: Did Demp-
sey carry Tom Gibbons in their Shelby

They said that the champion had lost his

has the old kick. At Shelby Dempsey made
no effort except in the 18th round to fight
Gibbons. He contented himself with box

and ran away.

cut loose with both hands and Gibbons hung
