blow was spent upon empty air. He
could catch its shadowy outline as it
hesitated before descending, and
then-the door of the room swung
open and the light of a hurricane
lamp illuminated the whole apart
ment. The grip on his wrists relaxed
and frightened again before he could
wrench himself free. The lamp stood
unguarded on the threshold, as if it
had come there of its own accord.
and Moorhouse recognized at one
and the same time the nan who
held him and the creature with the
knife: Nyi-Hau-and the great
Chai-Hung!
He struggled with renewed yio-
lence, tore one hand from the pow
erful fingers that e~ncircled it and hit
out at Nyi-Hau with all the force he
could put behind 1t. The man re-
eoiled and the magistrate, rolling to
one side, avoided the fall of the knife
by a hairs lbreadth. He caught the
fierce breath of the bandit-and a
third form, gliding stealthily from
behind the door, pushed between
Chai-Hung and his lieutenant. 1t was
Guayai Her garment was torn and
travel-stained and her black hair fell
in waves over her dark shoulders.
Moorhouse did not understand the
meaning Of her disheveled t~resses,
until the dagger with the jeweled
hilt sped downward. She drove it
with triumphant force between Nyi-
HauS shoulders-and the creature
pitched headlong n the d. O..
Struggling to free himself of his
burden, Moorhouse did not
see how Guaya died. He heard her
little, painting cry and threw Nyi-
Hau from him to discover Chai-
Hung forcing his great bulk through
the window frame, leaving his knife
behind.
The automatic caught his eye. He
to the floor and, s%natching it
emptied the entire clip into the
stiffness. Presently he saw
that the silver hand had escaped the
fugitive and rolled to a corner.
"Guaya," he whispered softly, II
have brought you your hand"
He fell on his knees beside her,
thinking that she had tainted, but
the shapely shoulders that his fin
gers touched were unresponsive.

NOW UP TO KEARNs
Dempsey's Manager Considers Tall Of
fer From Tom 0'ROuke.
By the Associated Press.

New York, Feb. 2.-The chance of
Jack Dempsey defending Ls worlds
heavyweight championship title this
summer today hinged apparently on
the decision of Jack kearns, his man
ager. on an offer from Tom O'Rourke.
O'Rourke proposed after Tex Richard
said he was out of it, that Dempsey
be matched against Harry Wills. negro
challenger, and Joe Beckett, English
challenger. He offered to stage the two
bouts at the Polo Grounds. the first TO
be held on the Fourth of July, and the
other, providing Beckett defeats Georges
Carpenter of France. on Labor Day.
Kearns told 0'Rourke he would have an
answer ready Monday. ORourke pro-
posed to pay the champion 100000 for
the two bouts.
Richard, who had been talking about
promoting a match between Dempsey
and several of numerous aspirants, for
mally announced his withdrawal yester-
day. Chairman William MuldOon Of
the State Boxing Commission said he
suggested that Richard get out and that
he would suggest to other individuals
that they form a line behind the tall
Texan.
Rickard said he got Que because he
felt that the public wouldn't support a
title match.
The net result so far seems to be that
Dempsey is ready to fight--for for
tnue-but that he may not get chance
to.
jess Willard seemed 10 be out Of the
reckoning. although one report had it
that he expected soon to start a country
wide exhibition tour 10 demonstrate his
fitness for a bout with the champion.

The soOne. the Legislature of this
state-and of others, for that matter
enacts q law STIMULATING just what price
goes with bouts of various sorts, the
sooner the public will see real fights at
non-ruinous prices. In these days of
unheard-Of purses, about the last thing
we see are genuine battles. What we
see are Dempsey- Carpenter hippo
dromes. Dempsey-Willard ballyhoos, and
the like.
It's the Bunk.
Day after day in every way the news
papermen are being used as pawns; that
is. where they are no concerned in the
publicity rigging.
And everything that is dishcd out
by the manager or promoter is played
back and forth across the BOARD as
though it was real news and real goods
whereas it is neither. 1t is bunk.
Half a million dollars for Dempsey to
fight fifteen rounds with someone
Honest. Congress ought to pass a law
compelling him TO go to work. Mr..
Jack Dempsey isn't any too popular
with a lot of folks as it is. There are
things left undone in his past hat are
remembered with a bad taste. True,
he was acquitted of a charge of draft
evading, but the fact remains that he
didn't get on n uniform and fight, but
instead swung a hammer in a shipyard
against rivets that couldn't hit back
when his country called for fighters.
Why. only today Jim Dougherty Of
Lieperville apologetically offered Harry
Wills $4,000 to fight eight rounds with
George Godfrey in Philadelphia
Imagine being timid about offering q
negro roustabout what is two of three
years salary for most of us. to fight
eight rounds with an unknown ham. YC
gods It's time to handle the figh
game without gloves.
