ing difficult about ski jumping. He
did, however, get a thrill out Of his
first Jump.
My stomach kinda jumped up
when I left the top Of the chute-but
that soon wore off," he recalls.
Included In the brilliant interna.
tional field that Bott defeated at
Three Rivers to capture the 1884 Do
minion title were such prominent
jumpers as Karl Baadsvick, Art Ora
vel, J. Landry, Rolph Silvertsen, Ted
Hogan. Len Lehan. H. Bagguley, and
Ambrose Lund, the 1888 champion
from Minnesota.
AL these men were his seniors, q
few Of them by several years. Yet
the skill the youth has acquired in
the brief time he has been on the
runners carried him to victory.
It seems that Bott is destined to
wear an international crown some OF
these days.

Montreal, March l5-Percy Punch"
Bott-ski champion Of Canada at the
age of Is!
What a record for q boy of that
age in the land where youngsters
learn to push the runners almost as
soon as they learn to walk! But per-
haps that's the secret of the boys sue
cess-he's been jumping since he was
eight.
This year started out in grand style
for the youth. He won the inter-
scholastic title in Montreal in Janu-
airy. and followed that by annexing
the st. Maurice Valley title and run
ner-up position in the Ontario Pro-
vincial meet.
The climax came when he won the
Dominion championship at Three
Rivers, Feb. "a, defeating the United
States title holder, Ambrose G. Lund,
of st. Paul, MINI.

Despite the honors showered on him
when he brought the Waagen Trophy
back to Canada after his Three Rivers
victory, Bott still is boy; a young
STRIPPING who saktes, plays hockey,
and skis with his pals. There is
nothing to indicate a 'swelled head"
about him, and he positively evades
congratulations.
Frail. but with that wiry grace that
characterizes the true ski jumper
Bott has become known as lone OF
the greatest aerial riders Of the mar
row blades"
A mishap in the Quebec Provincial
meet probably cost him that jump
He led gala parade down the slope
by jumping through a flaming hoop
just previous to the jump, the take
off had been changed, unknown to
him.
Speeding down the ice.covered
chute, he was forced to change his
Jump and leap down through the
hoop instead Of up at it as he had
first planned. He fell as he landed
the first time he ever spilled in q
competitive event.

and Bangkok hat hurrying handcuf-

The taxi leaped off under full pow
or and as it went down the street, a
white handkerchief flashed from its
window, signaling the waiting detec-
tives to follow. The voice of Doctor
Weston broke in upon Niles stunned

The man named Benton went out
through an inner door and was back.
'All set, DOCTOR" he said. Two more
men,-dapper and predatory-return-
ed with him. Niles set them down
as a pair of uptown gunner who had
closed in on his empty table at the
Club of Cards. 1t was no small or
ganiZation over which Doctor Weston
presided.
"Good!" said the doctor. He was
stripping off his brocaded dressing
gown. "Cover this detective while /
release him."
Three automatics emerged and
were leveled at Niles. He felt the
steel bands relaxing as the doctor
pressed on the hidden spring. They
vanished into the cushioned arms of
the chair as surprisingly as they had
appeared.
"Now," added Doctor Weston. "Take
his clothes off, and you, Benton, put
them on. That light gray suit will
show up well in the dark. Here is
his hat" Niles made no offer of re-
sistance while the exchange was be-

doctors dressing gown, still with

cried out. Doctor Weston was NOV

In the deep embrasure behind the
curtains Niles stared out into the
street, seeing, but himself unseen. In

matics were pressed. Presently he

"They will find no one here" re-
turned the doctor. He made motion
of command and Niles was thrust
away from the window. "My dear
Anita, will you lead the way for our
guest? He will be with us a long,
long time-in fact, permanently"
Into Doctor Weston's voice had crept
an accent of infinite threat. Who
ever he might be it was obvious that
he was man utterly without mercy.
There seemed to be in him strange
mingling Of the impersonal scientist
and the ruthless criminal. He was
superintendent, brainy and devoid
of ordinary emotions.
Anita looked at the doctor and in
