Mike uttered an ejaculation of

shaking tones:
The doctors said they had told
her stepmother this might happen
when she regained consciousness; that
she might not recognize those about
her nor even recall her own identity.
Her memor might return after a little

way to,the hall, fed noiselessly up the

She closed the door behind her and
in the glow from the soft night light
located the heavy, bent hairpin and
probing through the keyhole locked
the door with the key on the farther
side, then dropped the pin out of the
bathroom window before she flung
herself on her bed, her eyes filed
with indignant tears.

 Kaplan's features were badly bat tered and his body was pink from the blows that he stopped, while DeMarco, those who saw the fight say, was in much better shape.
 But be that as it may, the Meriden battler got the largest slice of the re- ceipts.
 According to the official figures an nounced, it is estimated that the Brass City man cleared between $1.500 and f$2,0o0 after footing all the bills.
 The number that filed their way into the Armory totaled 3,1SS, falling about 100 short of the outpouring that turned out for the Kaplan- Garcia mix several weeks ago.

YANKEE ATHLETES FEATURE
 W INTERIM 77OKAL RELAYS
Stars Defeated Charles West, Negro Star, Does Great Work, Again Winning All Round Championship.

Philadelphia, April 2G.-Triumpba for America in ali three of the inter national events on the program and the brilliant all-around performances of Charles West, star negro athlete Of Washington and Jefferson, in cap- turing the pentathlon for the second successive year, were outstanding fca- lures yesterday of the opening of the two day Pennsylvania relay carnival at Franklin field.
 The Union Jack of Great Britain went down to defeat in two of the international clashes when Eric Lid dell, Edinburgh university student who holds the British sprint cham pionship, was conquered in a spec tacular 220-yard dash by Louis Clarke, of Johns Hopkins. while Cambridge university's quartet fin- ished third in the sprint medley re- lay championship. which was won de- cisely by Pennsylvania state colleges fliers with Georgetown second.
 Sharing interest with these events were two other major college relay title races, with Pennsylvania vic torious over Missouri and Princeton in the distance medley and Columbia triumphant in sensational quarter mile championship contest. Verne Booth, elongated distance star. added further glory to Johns Hopkins rec ord for the day by conquering a strong field of 4 rivals in the two mile individual run.
 The third international feature oc- cured in the interscholastic medley relay, in which Huntington school of Boston, carried Amcrica's colors to victory over Hamilton Collegiate In- stitute, of Canada. which finished sec ond after getting off to bad start.
 Two Records Fall
 Only two records fell. One occur rcd in the South Atlantic Intcrcollegi- ate A. A. one mile relay championship when Virginia, due to brilliant quar- ter mile in 4s S-5 by Bohannan, an- chor man, lowered its own mark from 3.23 to 3.2l 2-5 for this fixture after a driving finish with Georgetown.
 The other was in the pentathlon when both Freda of Chicago and Leg gett of Annapolis, broke the jarelin record for the all around event. Erie da's winning toss of 1855 feet 7ls inches. oelipsed by more than l4 feet the old record of Ill feet, ona inch. made by Legendre, Georgetown, in 1922. while Loggctt hurled the spear lS2 feet, 1-4 inches.
 West Is Big Star
 West retained the crown of all- around champion by defeating a classy field in the five events that make up the pentathlon program. The sturdy Washington and Jefferson ne- gro emerged from the gruelling all- afternoon grind with the low total Of i3 points, nine less than his nearesf rival, Harry Fricdn, of Chicago, who won a close fight for second honors.
