CHAPTER xLvI

SI4<AI En- A1f
Aunt Emily was just as straight
laced as she was strong minded.
And the chances are that she
never would have allowed Sally to
put on her dance that night If it
mad not been for Mrs. Jerome.
But the minute she found out
that Mrs. Jerome was dead set
against Sally'S dancing, Aunt
Emily was all for it. She took a
certain bitter enjoyment in dis.
agreeing with her sister.in.law
about everything.
It's fine idea she declared
when Mrs. Jerome came to her to
beg her to forbid Sally to make "a
public show of herself.
Mrs. Jerome left her in anger
ana went upstairs to hunt through
ner trunks for a red satin mask
.hat she had packed away years
before, after Millie had worn il to
a high school masquerade.
PRESENTLY she appeared in the
doorway of Sally's room with II

elastic headband.

of yard and began yapping.
Raggedy whirleo, ueern barred,
gave his challenger a speculative
look. And turned his nead on one
side as he trotted away quite as
if the cur didn't exist.
1t was so human, such a COM
plete snub, that Emily shook with
laughter. She called, "C'mere,
cog! So that's how you feel!
Well, that's right, old fellow-be

But here a wall of terror
brought her about and she saw

creature, setting upon the cur.

instant with his nose down, mus.

coat. 1t is said the airedale has
got sizeable distance away from
his ancestor. the wolf, but none
who has seen him about to spring
into battle believes that.
Raggedy sprang--reached for
the deadly throat hold. But the
Brent dog jumped backward,
slashed out with his jaws, and
the airedale's blow glanced off.
He rolled over in the dust two or
three times and raced on up the
hill, tail down, yelping, while the
small dog scuttled to cover.
Raggedy came back to Emily,

Many who pick Dempsey to win

The Tunney hackers counter
with the claim that he is too
clever to mix it with Dempsey,
and is tOO\ shrewd a boxer to

J, Hjalmar Erickson. of the Washing

JACK PLUGS
ALONG

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Temporarily
forsaken by tickle admirers, who,
for the moment, were shouting well
come to Gene Tunney, his greatest
rival, Jack Dempsey today went
doggedly ahead with the training
activities that augur a tough session,
late this month, for the ex-marine.
While Tunney was basIing in
the luxury of hero worship,
Dempsey was grinding out miles
on a hot, dusty track, practi-
cally unnOtieed. Later Jack en-
jOyed quiet lunch and rested
for the afternoon session with
Sparrfng partners.
The business-nke way in which
Dempsey has settled down to r0u.
tine camp work, experts agree, is
a big point in his favor. If it is
possible for the ex-champ to be rs
good as he was before-or at least
good enough to whip Tunney-they
are convinced he is determined to
attain that goal.
Dempsey worked three rounds
yesterday against as many different
sparring mates. He looks better
every day. Much of the old speed
Is returning and his legs, once more
or less uncertain. seem to carry him
well.
The mauIer worked one round
each with Jack Mccain, his
persistent training foe; My Sui
Ivan of st. Paul, and OsIx Till,
of Rochester, N. Y. Manager
Flynn had ordered Dempsey to
forget about trying to hit the
boys and to concentrate on
avoiding left jabs and hooks.
But telling Dempsey not to hit,
was like telling the iceman not
to track up the kitchen floor.
More than 5000 cash customers,
meaning that they paid $1.1O each
for the privilege, watched the pro.
ceedings from Col Matt Winn's
Veranda.
