his knocks with the best OF them.
He was kayoed In some of his bouts.
He scored knockouts in some of
his victories. He won and lost az
any fighter might do. Suddenly,
however, he started on the winning
path and he has become one of the
hardest men In the state to beat at
his weight.
The two local boys have Travelled
so far that they ara recognized as
the leading contenders in the 1856
pound class in Hartford county.
Both have ambitions to get \
chance at the state lightweight title

conquests.
The bout next Tuesday night will

ders. "Never mind the jack now

With his hands high above his
head, Jack Stuart underwent the
first real ~"frisking" Of his life. 1t
consisted Of q quick running Of
hands over his pockets.
When nothing in the shape Of a
gun was found, the frisker turned
his attention TO the omar AS the
light was shining directly in his
own eyes, and she was in the rear
OF him, Jack could not witness the
"indignity" to which she was sub
jected. Whatever its nature, it was
exceedingly brief.
Now, you two climb into the car
there an sit tight on the back seat.
You're goin' fer a ride. Step lively,
now!'
Looking into the frowning mouth
or that huge automatic, the muzzle
of which looked as big to Jack as
that Of a coast defense gun, he felt
that discretion. under the circum-
stances, was by far the best part of
vaIor. He stepped lively.
His companion, evidently, had
stepped even livelier. for she was
inside and seated when he arrived.
"Oh, Jack" she whispered tremu-

he said it ~feryently. But life was
very uncertain at best, he'd heard

IN front of them, closed the door,
and snapped out his light. The other
fellow had taken the drivers seat
An instant later the car shot out
froa under the shed and turned to-
ward the road.
Would you-er-mind telling

curiosity.
