is to be kept well and to keep

DANDEMONIUM broke loose.
= The silence was broken with
roars Of pain, and the crash of fail

man like sack of wheat at his
adversaries. The man was primi-

savagery and cold-blooded eff

and feet. shaking off the man who
sought to close with him as a ter
rier will shake rats.
Once, it seemed almost as though
ne would win single handed against
the lot of them. They drew off in
a semi-circle glaring at him with a
mixture of ferocity and awed re-
spect. Then the big sallow.face
man said something in a low voice,
and hurled himself at Jefferies.
Jefferies met him with a terrific
blow that dropped the big man to
his knees, then they were all on

before his eyes. His left hand
closed round a mans throat and he
squeezed hard with grim pleasure.
1t was his last real effort. He
was on the ground, and thro Is,h
the blood and sweat that covered

At that moment there came a
