CHAPTER VII
A Wicked Old Mans Dream

My great-uncle sank into his chair
with a gesture of disgust and poured
three fingers of brandy into a wine
glass.
"Phaugh!" :" he exclaimed eat
times I am nauseated by the company
perforce I keep"
laughed, and he put the glass from
his lips, peering at me across it's rim
as if surprised.
"You find occasion for mirth in my
remark, Robert?"
"No," said; II am only expressing
to you my feeling that you have as
little claim to possession of a sense
of honor as the man who was just
here"
Murray's large face, with it's pow
erful, craggy features, glowed with
the radiance of an intense personal
conviction.
what Is honor? Or dishonor?
Certes, here we have a call for close
reasoning. No hasty generalities can
dismiss so vexed problem, which
hath consumed the attention of gentle
men since gentility's institution I
conceive of honor as the quality of
being faithful to oneself, to the ethical
standard one has established for this
life we pass through so precariously."

esty toward all save himself he pre-

"Now do you twist my thoughts"
replied my great-uncle. "And in the
same breath you raise complement

honesty? AS I have told you before,
I take from those who have much,
those who prey upon Others"
"You are clever with words"
sneered "but I'll not be fooled What

Flint was about to answer with a
squirt Of oaths when Murray inter-
rupted.
"You anticipate matters" he re-

Still No like not your terms, Muir

"They are the best 1 can offer"

add, that there may be no misunder-

mote the interest of a cause, and not
to line the pockets of Spanish Off
cials, as you may suspect; and it is
highly probable that considerable of

Witches Had Regular Periods for Meeting

In the Middle ages "covent' or "con-
vent" was used to describe religious
assembly. Hence "COvent Garden"
from the garden of a convent that
once stood on the site of the famous
London fruit and flower market. By
degrees "coven" came to be used to
describe any gathering Of twelve peo-
pie with a leader. In the case Of
witches, it came to stand for COM
pany Of twelve, with their chief I'M

In England, every district seems to
have had it's coven, and local meet

Dempsey Wants Dough.

Just as money makes the mare 60
SO money makes the champion fight
Dempsey wants half a million for
meeting Wills. and if the bout can
be pulled off by q promoter of Tex
richards caliber in New York or New,
Jersey Jack might get lit. But how
much would he have to give Jack
kearns, who maintains that, having
signed for d Dempsey Wills battle in
New York or Jersey when he was
Jacks manager, he has a legal right
to share in the proceeds?
Both Dempsey and any promoter
who attempts to stage the fight will
have to reckon with this factor. Tn
der their old agreement kearns and
Dempsey shared fifty fifty. There is
no doubt that the champion would not
fight at all if he had to give up this
much to his one-time manager. But
If it be found that Dapper Jack really
has strangle hold on Dempsey some
settlement might be made between
the two.
That is to say, it would be if Demp-
really wants to do battle with the
negro. If he does not, he can use
the kearns matter as an excuse for
not meeting Wills.
One thing seems certain-there will
be something popping in the world
heavyweight championship situation
this year. Dempsey has been doing
a whole lot of hard work under Gus
Wilson's direction, and he Is not so
fond of training that he would put
himself to all this trouble without
some big end in view.

KENNEL AND FIELD
Geo. H. kernodle-

Ihe schnauzer or wire haired
pinscher, newly introduced German
dog, Is, according to recent feature
article, about the last word In dog
perfection He Is as good a watch dog
as the shepherd, and as good a police
dog; he is more Of a one-man dog
than the Airedale, and he Is not given
to wandering away from home as are
individuals of most other breeds.
Fashion has decreed that he Is the
dog. Of the day, since his wiry coat
and his style in cropping and dock
ing so exactly fits with present-day
dress and haircuts.
Any breeder will grant that one in
dividual schnauzer might come up to
this standard. just as nearly as good
individual of any other breed might
come to the standard of perfection FOR
his breed, but to assign the above
qualities to the breed as a whole is
too much. The slogan for an Airedale
used to be that "he could do anything
any other dog could do. and then
whip the other dog" This has done
much hurt to the popularity Of the
breed, for individuals could not live
up to this standard of perfection. II
Is hoped that the schnauzer people
will be little more moderate in their
claims.
