was hardly conscious of his surround
ings. He saw only the distant hills
and the western sun descending with
tantalizing slowness. His tongue,
swollen and numb, seemed to distend
his cheeks. Sometimes the stony
desert yielded for a few steps to
sparse patches of flinty earth, indicat-
ing the hope of some fertile region
beyond, but it always began again.
The sun dipped into the west, and
still the man staggered onward. The
significance of the patches of thorn
scrub was lost to him, of the rugged
and broken terrain, Of the foothills
about him, with their struggling mi
mosas. But suddenly Winton stopped
trembling.
Green grass was at his feet, and
out Of fissure in the ground there
bubbled a little spring, ungueSsed at
by the map-makers. 1t was tiny
unknown oasis in the vast wilderness.
De Witt had evidently possessed the
secret, and had planned to make this
his headquarters until the hue and
cry had been dropped.
Winton flung himself upon the
earth beside the spring, and, burying
his face in the water drank until his
shriveled veins seemed to pulse with
new blood
The sun had set. and the intense
heat was changing to the icy cold of the
desert night when he arose, rested
and with all the grimness of his reso-
luton nerving him to action. He knew
that Sheila could not be far away. He
looked at his revolver. To his con-
sternation he discovered that only two
shots remained. However, these
should be enough-one, at least. would
save Sheila from De Witt; the other
He would not face the possibilities
that unfolded themselves before him,
but rose to his feet, and was about to
follow the spring through valley into
the hills when something lying upon
the ground attracted his attention.
1t was Sheila's handkerchief.
He snatched it up and pressed it to
his lips. He felt that Sheila had
dropped it for an indication, knowing
that he would follow. Lightly he
stepped forward into the bush-clad
hills, among the boulders.
The valley opened. The scene grew
desolate again. All round WintOn
were hills of precipitous character,
which gradually grew sleeper until he
found himself in a sort of level am
phitheater, apparently inclosed, save
at the end through which he had come
Thin tufts of grass and sparse vege-
tation grew around the bases of the
cliffs, but the central portion of the
valley was of a dazzling whiteness, as
if incrusted with salt or alkali.
Along one side were numerous trails,
showing the sharp edges of the spoor
of beasts.
After a while WintOn discovered
that the white floor on which he now
walked, was not composed of mineral
but Of animal matter. 1t was layer
of pulverized bones, thousands upon
thousands, picked bare by jackals and
vultures, bleached by the sun and dis
integrated by the passage Of years.

open up.
 On the other hand. should Gibbons elect to buck the inevitable and tear after the champion with both hands in the hope of landing on vital spot, the granite-man Dempsey would probably cut him down with a few quick strokes, Very likely before the fight has gone more than five rounds.
 Gibbons Is hardly any better now than he was q year ago. Dempsey seourged him then with devastating body blows---blows Of the type that leave permanent effects. Dempsey punished Carpenter in much the same way, knocked him out, and ruined him for all time as formid- able fighter.
 Psychologically, too, the odds will be against Gibbons. It will be hard for him to forget that he cracked the champion flush on the jaw with right hand swings at Shelby, yet failed to drop him.
 When you are unable to take trick with your ace certain amount of disconragement naturally sets in.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-28

The second meeting between Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons, now reasonably assured for May, will diff fer from the first, held on the Mon tana plains last summer, in this one piquant detail:
 Gibbons took gaudy walloping for nothing then.
 Now he is to be paid sl00,000 for taking the same walloping all over, with, perchancc an added gesture here and there 10 distinguish it from the old ate.
 The sacrificial jaw which he cast upon the muddy Shelby waters has returned hcaped with soothing, soul satisfying greenbacks.
 Of course Gibbons. fine and noble fighter that he is will be beaten gain. He is not killer and only the killers have any right to take pot shots at the iron jawed Dempsey.
 Whatever interest the promoters manage to smoke mp in this grapple must concern Gibbons chances to iin- ish in an upright position.

This is why Gibbons is getting a re- turn mateh The St. Paul Irishman did something no other Dempsey challenger had ever done; he started on his feet and remained there until the gong rung, ending the 5th round.
 Jess Willard lasted but three rounds, Georges Carpenter four, Billy Miske three. Bill Brennan 12, Luis Firpo two.
 But Gibbons, smaller than all the rest, went the limit. Whats more, ho wasn't knocked down single time. On the strength Of this achieve mcnt alone Gibbons deserves another chance--cven if the chances spromisos nothing more than a cruel whipping and a large certified check.

COLLEGE MEN AND
 PROFESH. SPORTS
May Go in for Baseball, But
 Hardly Any for Boxing
tBy Billy Evans)


 Is it advisable for the star college athlete to enter professional sport as means of livelihood? At present that is a much debated question. Con- vincing arguments can be offered pro and con. In majority of cases it proves a mighty profitable move for the college baseball star to enter the pro game provided he has enough ability to make the big league grade.
 
 IL was Connie Mack, famous leader of the Philadelphia Athletics, who created big field in baseball for inc college ball player He was the first major league manager to see real merit in the eollegian.
 During the past five years the ool- Iega ball player has become quite the vogue in the big show. Unquestionably the great success Of George Sisler had much to do with the boosting stock of the "Rah" "Rah" boys. Major league scouts watch the work Of the college players closely. All the import ant game in the early spring on col-
 
 as are the leading minor leagues later in the season.
 The practice of the college baseball star signing with some major league is now treated in a matter of fact manner by the colleges. lt in no way affects the popularity that the player may have attained during his college days.
 The coming of professional football has made a field for college grid stars Of the country. Last season perhaps 50 cities in the United States boasted teams that could be classed as major elevens. Most Of the teams were re- cruited from former college stars. The promoters Of the pro football very wisely agreed that there should be no tampering with players still in college. This move was made so as not to engender the cnnity Of the college coaches. The playing or professional ] football by the college star is not nearly so well received as joining the major leagues. Football coaches seem to think that a grid star is simp- " wasting so many years when he plays football after leaving college. Likewise. too. much strenuous football often plays havoc with physical con1i- tion.
 Professional football and baseball aare soft spots for the college star tg pick up some pin money after getting the old sheepskin. often the bankroll is badly depleted at the close of the senior year. During the war boxing wss given great play by thn colleges. It has pro gressed rapidly and is almost 8 major sport in many institutions. Only re- gently. I was talking to the boxing in- structor at one uf the big institutions of the east and be told mo that he he'd two heayyweights who inside Of two years could make it mighty un- pleasant for Jack Dempsey.
