 Breathing became agony, my en- durance was leaving me, my head felt as if it were splitting asunder. Just then Polyandria got between our feet We stumbled over her and crashed to the floor. The man grunted as if Polyandria's claws had got home. He kept his grip 5n my throat, but I lost mine on his. Moreover, he unanswered my body and his in such way that fell on my face and he came down astride of me. I tried unavailingly to fling him off. Cries for help rose in my throat, but could not voice them; his grip frightened be- yond endurance, a shadow crept over my brain.
 And then the pressure on my throat suddenly ceased and the man was no longer astride my body.
 The French window crashed to and then, to my astonishment, I heard Luther r- Nair's harsh voice:

LEYSON MEETS CHRIS WILLIS
 IN MAIN BOUT
Hard-hitting and Clever Welters Head Fight Card
 on Saturday Evening

Joe eyson, Filipino scrapper, matched with Chris Willis, Wran- gell welterweight, in the main event of the Fair Associations smoker next Saturday evening, is occupy ing no new position when he heads the local card. He has fought in headliners in Seattle and other northwest towns and has a fine ring record
 Willis, his opponent, besid e s fighting in Petersburg and Wrangell matches, is product of Caonlewa and cleaned up on men in his class in that section. Among his victories is a technical kayo over Ted Hanson, clever and hard-hit- ting Bellingham boy.
 Leyson, in addition to being fast and clever as a boxer, packs a real wallop in both hands. He has a long list of knockouts to his credit and some of them were against good men.
 Other bouts on the Associations card include:
 Joe Lubeck CTexas Flash) vs Harry Lang, 135 pounds; Jack Cos tello, Seattle, vs. Sam Nelson, Ju- neau, 130 pounds; Young Nash, Se- 7ttle, vs. Kid Hollywood Los An geles, 125 pounds; Kid Vilarde, Aberdeen, Wash, vs. Speedy Dadong, Seattle, 122 pounds.

 Leaping forward, I brought the brassie over my shoulder in a sweeping arc. I struck blindly but ladded vicious blow. on his shoul- der. Evidently the blow numbed his arm for the pistol dropped, uneX- ploded.
 Letting go of the brassie I flung myself at the fellow. He could use only one arm at first, but he was beyond me in strength and I don't believe I ever encountered such fe- rocity in a human being before He put into the struggle a fury, a malignancy, diabolical cunning of which I was incapable.

 Someone laughed. And then:
 Back, ye fool, or I'll drill yer! Git insidel"
 The voice was deep, throaty, commanding, and I did not recog- nize it. A shot rang out. Another. The reading lamp flashed on and I saw Lucy and Mrs. Moffit stand ing over me. At that moment NIacNair burst through the French window. His hat was gone and his face was black with fury and bit ter disappointment. Lucy dropped beside me, cry of grief on her lips.
 Get something for his throatl" dacNair snapped.
 Mrs. Moffit fled and MacNair dropped at the other side of me.
 Did you recognize him?"
 swallowed again while Lucy caressed my throat. No" whis- pered. Did you?"
 T did not" he cried savagely Tt was pitch dark in the shrub bery. I had been in the Ogden grounds about five minutes when I thought I heard some one over here calling for help. The man jumped through the window as l came up-bu,nped into me and knocked the torch out of my hand I pretended I had gun-and he put 8 couple of shots through my hat"
 Lucy shuddered and tears from her swimming eyes wet my cheeks.
 What did he look like?" Mac Nair demanded impatiently.
 I shut my eyes and tried to as- semble my impressions of the man. They, were pitifully few. Tile fought like a tiger. I don't think he was stout" I mumbled. "He may have been fairly tall-but I'm not sure When he shouted at you-he said 'ye' and git. His voice struck me as being disguised. Didn't you get anything?"
 MacNair shook his head. He collided with me before I saw him His body was scarcely more than a shadow to me. It's damnablel" he fumed springing to his feet. "He may have had something to do with that affair at Ogden's!"
 T believe he had"
 What"
 He was after the Peterson re- volver."
 How do you know?"
 I explained.
 Good God, what a chance we've lost! It may have been Ogden's murderer. How did he know the revolver was here? What did he want of it?"
 I shook my head feebly. T didn't tell any one had it. Hyde may have" And then: "'Gold bullets, perhaps"
 MacNair looked at me, his dark eyes brilliant with expression.
