Former Heavyweight Champion
Is Louis Angel Firpo Il second
Jim Jeffries?
l don't propose to answer that
question, although l worked up a
tremendously intimate and COM
prehensive acquaintance with Firpo
one evening in July. But l offer
it to fight fans as a fertile sub
iect for speculation.
1t is true for a certainty that
the talk about Firpo as he faces

Dempsey is exactly on a line with
the dope on Jeffries when he
tackled Bob Fitzsimmons.
The experts objected that jeff
ries was too green and lacking in
polish. They had to admit he was
strong and game, but they didn't
allow him a chance against the ex-
perienced title holder, But every
body knows what happened.
Thrives on Tough Ones.
Firpo is great big tough fell
low who thrives on hard blows.
Your fits simply bounces off him.
In the seventh round of our fight,
for instance, I shot two hard ones
in succession straight to his jaw. I
pressed the button for him, all
right, but it didn't turn out the
light. lie seemed to come on
stronger and stronger every round.
And when Firpo hits, it's like a
blast from a siege gun. He puts
a hole in you. That is just what
he does.
An opponent may be ever so
clever, but Firpo takes lot Of the
cIeverness out of him when he
sinks one of his punches. lie sap

he lands one, it rocks. you all over.
Awkward, Yet Clever.
There isn't any fancy stuff about
Firpo. He is not a nice looking
boxer. But in an awkward sort of
way he is clever. Don't forget
that.
Firpo's greatest asset, I believe,
is his ruggedness. He is the kind
of fighter who can let his opponent
wear himself out and break his
hands. pounding on him. An then
Firpo can finish him. Incidentally,
he is handiest with his right hand,
and it is deadly weapon.
The critics keep referring to his
inexperienca. That is not to be
denied, although he appears to be
making quick improvement. But it
is a mistake to underestimate him.
Firpo isn't a popular personality,
but if you want a fighter, that's
what he is.
I don't say Firpo will win from
Dempsey, but he has more chance
than most people think. Take it
from me that he is a real wild bull,
he has been fighting steadily with
out any soft living and he is ready
to do his best with everything to
gain and nothing to lose.

He addressed the remark to the dry
and unresponsive soil. Billy's attitude
at the moment was unusual. He was
close to the footpath along which he
had wheeled the Sphinx, after the en-
counter with the motorcycle thieves on
the night Of the burglary.
That event was now many days old,
yet no rain had fallen in the meantime
and here and there the track of the
Sphinx's tires was family visible in
the dried mud-to anyone who had un-
usually good eyes.

the sandy field. 1t was now complete
ly cloaked with brambles. Billy pulled
them apart, and saw something gleam-
ing dimly at the bottom of the pit.
It was the buckled frame of a big
twin Indian motorcycle.
With a whoop of triumph Billy
clambered down the steep side Of the
pit and disappeared through the BRAN
bles. He remained below some time.
When at last he emerged and stood
On the brink, Billy's face was rather
pale, and his eyes troubled.
"Great Caesars ghost" he said.
"Who'd have expected this? Now-if
l can pick up the other track, I'll have
the game in my hands!"
He hurried in the direction of the
distant erag-pits, then suddenly pulled
up short and glanced at his wrist
watch.
Aimee !" he exclaimed.
He had an appointment with Aimee
at five, and an urgent one. 1t was al
ready past the hour. Billy set off at
a run, and In ten minutes reached the
rendezvous. Aimee was there already,
In a rough serge walking-cloak and a
Shocks hat trimmed with calico vio-
let's. In spite Of the costume she
looked wildly lovely.
"Mr. Chauffeur" said Aimee, severe
", II don't know If you think I want
to waste my afternoon off like this.
You're late"
"Tm sorry" painted Billy. "Came as
quick as I could"
"What are you looking excited
about?' she said, cycling him suspi-
ciously.
"Oh-just seeing you" blurted Billy.
That isn't true. I've never cen you
look excited before. You've found out
something. What is it?"
Billy paused.
Its true. 1 have found out some
thing" he said quietly, "but there's
more to do, and 1 haven't quite all the
cards in my hands. It's the most amaz-
ing stunt yet. I'll tell you about 1t
the moment I've got it set"
Aimee looked at him wistfully.
81 don't think you ought to have any
secrets from your partner" she said.
81 always tell you everything"
"Give me till tonight" pleaded Billy.

and I'll tell my news. It's much more

that Alexander has got himself en-
gagged to my dear fat George, and

side her. Good for him She's a real
trump of a girl, that. And the parsons

"Yes. George will exactly suit him.

that Alexander's marrying me. You're

away, stirred the grass with the point

either side of him, and dug deep.

He kissed her again-more than
once. Then he sat back, his head in
a whirl. There was the longest pause
yet; a silence that seemed Interim
nable.
They were recalled to earth by a
staccato noise.
"Yap! Yapl zap! Yapl Yipe-
yipe!"
Aimee and Billy started violently,
A small white Highland terrier, with
it's four legs braced, vas barking at
them excitedly, but not wholly with
disapproval.
Aimee felt stricken as though by a
sudden paralysis. Behind the terrier
stood Lady Erythea, erect and rigid.
The glare in her eyes was the glare
of a destroying Gorgon.

recalled him.

Billy returned. Lady Erythea in
spected him through her %lorgnette.
"Are you sure that this is a wise
thing you are doing?" she said slowly.
"You seem to me a somewhat superior
young man. 1 think you could do
much better for yourself"
Billy twinkled yet more brightly.
II should hate to disagree with yOur
ladyship,' he said, "but 1 am quite
sure 1 couldn't"
Lady Erythea turned and walked
away with a dazed air.
Billy passed through the gate into
the lane, and made for the abbey at
his best speed. He hoped that Aimee
might be waiting for him somewhere
within call, but there was no sign of
her. Thinking it likely size would be

hurried in that direction. He was
within sight from the park boundary,
when Monsieur de Jussac, approach
ing the fence from the abbey, saw him
and called him by name.
Billy was too far away to hear. The
VicOmte whistled, without result. He
saw Billy disappear in the direction
OF the crag-pits. De Jussac hesitated,
uncertain whether to follow.
Our amazing chauffeur appears to
be in a hurry" murmured Bertrand.
He took out a cigarette, and smoked
1t refectively. Bertrand was looking
a little puzzled and anxious. Finally
he wandered slowly back towards the
abbey. o
AS he neared the main entrance the
quack of q motor horn was heard,
and an automobile drove up rapidly.
It contained the stolid Inspector Panke
from Stanhoe. Beside him sat a slim
and active-looking man in a gray
tweed %overcoat.
De Jussac, raising his eyebrows,
drew near unobtrusively. The man in
tweeds got u and stepped briskly up
to Mr.. Tarbeaux, who was standing
on the steps.

situation with which he had no con-
Germ. He Lit a cigarette as he went.

Not Guilty.

The guilty pair arose to their feet.
Aimee, from rosy red, had turned eX-
tremely pale. There was every ex-
cuse for it. Lady Erythea's express
sion was enough to unnerve the stout
est heart.
"And this" In a voice like the clash
ing of a motors gear-boX, 'in the face
of my express warning! You are dis
charged" She took a step towards
Aimee. "And as for you"
Billy interposed his large figure be-
tween them.
"Madam," he said, "if you have any
comments to make. please make them
10 me. Or, better still-do not make
them at all"
His voice was quiet and respectful.
But his chin was lifted remarkably
high, and his lips compressed danger
ously.

throw any obstacles in the way of this

His employer gazed at him dumbly.
The announcement came as a shock.
And it was difficult even for Lady
Erythea to resist Billy's smile. AS

melted im~perceptibly. Her faculties
were bemused. Billy, despite the
smile, looked so extraordinarily digni-
fed that Lady Erythea almost felt an
impulse to apologize to her chauffeur.
She made an effort to recover her
austerity.
"You have asked this girl to marry
you-after an acquaintance of four
days?' she said acidly. "Is that-an

Billy's smile intensified.
II haven't much experience, my

British custom, too-sometimes."
With two such recent examples at
