that Walker can harm the champion
very much.
Mike is very clever boxer and
is big enough to make his skill tell
against the bulling tactics of the
welterweight king. On the cards 1t
would seem that the men whom Nc
Tigue should justly fear-as he
does-are Gene Tunney, Tommy Glib
bons and Harry Greb. But certainly
fans oIgbt not to get overly excited
about Hickey's prospects of slowing
Mike away. The fight has a good
sound, but to the writer 1t seems
likely to turn out as just one Of
those bouts.
Walker has a reputation as Sec
ond Dempsey but when you come
down to 1t, how many Al men has
he put to sleep?

The bout will go -l2 rounds, with
no decision, and. while a newspaper,
or popular. decision in Walkers
favor would be highly priced by the
young man of Kereighead, he knows
he has got to put Mike to sleep, or
score a technical knockout, before
he can wear the crown officially.
Mickey thinks he can do this. He
thinks he can wear McTigue down
and finally get him in condition
where fighting is the last thing he
wishes to do.
Mickey has been making a lot of
friends lately, is becoming one of the
most popular champions in the ring,
and there are many who think he
can paste McTigue good and proper.
But, getting right down to cases,
there is no geel reason for confidence

In the absence of positive informa-
tion on the subject OF the origin OF
Roston baked beans and their place on
New England breakfast menus this
conjecture is offered: In the early
days of the Plymouth colony people
did their baking in brick ovens. These
ovens were heated on Saturday and
enough baking for the week was done
at that time. AS the oven cooled of
the temperature was just right for
heans which need long, slow cooking,
SO thew were thus ready to be eaten
on saturday night and were probably
mt hack into the oven to keep hot and
these were eaten for breakfast on Sun
dav morning. Many New England peo-
nile reheat them and eat them for
breakfast each morning until they are
gone and some people who bake them
on wednesday continue to serve them
for breakfast until the Saturday beans

tactfulIy sought to acquaint him with
many ranch matters which would
prove of value to him. Carson, how
ever. grown nervous over the new
method in stock raising still in It's ex-
detrimental stage, was given to take
any suggestion from Hampton in the
light of a personal affront.
"D-n him." he growled deep in his
throat when Hampton had ridden out
with word to shift one of the herds
into fresh pasture, an act on which
Carson had already decided, some
day I'll just take him between my
thum' an finger an anni-hilate him."
The greater bulk Of the stock had
been steadily shifted higher in the
hills. The hogs grazed on the slopes
at the north of the Lower End; cat
tie and horses had been pushed east
ward to the little valleys in the noun
tains about the lake. Even the pla-
teau, where the old cabin stood. was
now stocked with Lees prize string
of horses. Then one day Hampton
came galloping through the herds Of
shorthorns seeking Carson.
Crowd them down to the Lower
End again." he shouted abovs the din.

BouvIs Were Not Alike

"a man selling pottery came to
Salem and raped at certain lady's
door," says the Boston Globe. HE
was asked in. Just as he got inside
the door he dropped one of the bowls,
supposedly by mistake, and 1t did not
break. When in the kitchen he dropped
another, and then remarked to the
lady that his bowls were guaranteed
not TO break. She bought some, to be
paid for when delivered. When they
came she put them away to wait until
some of her friends would appear and
she would drop one for surprise. A
friend finally arrived The lady took
a pot from the shelf and dropped it
accidentally on purpose. It shattered
into thousand pieces quite unlike
the rubber samples.

season of low figures due to the fact
that many overstocked ranches were
throwing their beef-cattle and range
horses on the market. SO low, in
fact, that Judith's first surmise when
Hampton brought it to her was that
the typist taking the company's die
tation had made an error.
Judith tossed the note into the
waste-basket. Then she retrieved it
to frown at it wonderingly, and, final
ly, to file it. It began by having for
her no significance worthy of specula-
ton. 1t soon began to puzzle her.
Finally, it family disturbed her.
Here were two points of interest.
First: Doan, Rockwell & Haight was
the company to which Bayne Trevors,
when general manager, had made
many sacrifice sale. Because the
Blue Lake had knocked down to
them before, did they still count con-
fidently upon continued mismanage-
ment? Surely they must know that
the management Of the ranch had
changed. And this brought her to the
second point: How did it come about
that they had addressed, not her, but
Pollock Hampton? Was this just
trife?
Long ago Judith had told herself
that she must keep her two eyes wide
open for seeming trifes. In spite of
her, though she scoffed at her nerves."
the girl had the uneasy conviction that
this offer had been prompted by
Trevors; that Trevors. for purposes of
his own, had given instructions that
the letter be addressed to Hampton !;
that this was the first sign Of fresh
campaign directed against her from
the dark; that trouble was again be-
ginning.
Thoughtfully she smoothed out the
letter, impaling it on her file.
Pollock Hampton, Foreman-at-Large,
came and went on the ranch, carry
ing orders, taking always a keen in
terest in whatever work fell to hand
an interest of fresh kind, in that it
was born Of a growing understanding.
