Needle Beer Victim
 In Steve BrOdie Act

Hl 4 l u i .
 Steve Brodie, who did take Q chance, has been neralded In song and story these many years for his feat in jumping ofR the Brooklyn Bridge. Steve / has been the subject Of rearns of publicity and has even irn- Knortalixed In the films.
 But Waterbury has it's own Steve Brodic now, one who won't yield the palm for daring to the original Steve without Q good battle. Water. bury's "Stcve" put on his act saturday night, or rather Sun- day morning.
 It was on lower Baldwin street, and Q group of young men happened to turn to the subject of Brolie and the Brooklyn Bridge. One of their number, who'd been innbibing . bit, declared that Steve Bro- die wasn't SO much and that just for the fun of 1t he'd jump off Scoyill's Bridge. The rest of the crowd scoffed at him, and the party repaired to the bridge which marks the begin- ming of the AbrigadOr.
 While the rest looked on un- believlngly the chap climbed to the rail of the bridge across the Mad River, and without even any preliminaries, jump ed off. It was a drop of about 25 feet, and the river at that point is only Q few inches deep and consists mainly of stones and broken glass.
 Mortified, the jumpers friends managed to get down to the river level, expecting to find their friend seriously hurt after his leap. Instead, he was calmly brushing himself Off, completely unhurt. His only request was for another drink.

Deferentially, he placed a tray

When the boy had gone
Creighton whistled softly.

Suddenly he slapped his thigh,
exclaining, I'll be damned!
I've broken down their opposi-
ton. Who'd ever have thought
that bit of tomfoolery would
turn the trick?" He'd found his
way to win them and, by jimmy,
he'd stay on the good side of
them. Hurrah! He wouldn't
have to ask to be transferred!
He settled to his tea with zeSt.
Two minutes after Stephen
reached his apartment, Kin was
launched on a dramatic account
of the happenings on the bund.

Stephen. They'll take him at

He was right. Little by little,

CHAPTER 20
Despite the close struggle for
existence, the business of the
Keepers of Light prospered.
The shop-to-shop inspec ton
made the autumn before, re-
peated in the spring and now
again in the a ut u m n, was
bringing up the volume of sales
as Stephen had foreseen. But
even Stephen had underesti.
mated how great his gains
would be.
Fascinated, he watched the
mounting totals of the daily
SaleS-reportS from his agents,
Business built on the little cash
with a hole in the center,
twenty-five hundred cash now
to the dollar, swelling the prof
its by thousands of dollars!
This year the province would
yield the company three mil
lion dollars. Stephen began to
get some conception of the mil
lions upon millions of people
who made up that substratum
of society in which he was
creating the desire for light.
And now war, that each year
since the coming of democracy
had taken it's percentage of the
peoples earnings, touched
Stephens business. One morn
ing as he went to his office,
he found his Chinese staff talk
ing in high excited voices, "Ai
jah, al jah, We must draw in
our hearts, draw in our hearts.
1t may happen here"
What is the matter?" he
demanded.
The soldiers of the old gov
ernor have looted the city to
the SOUTH! A new lord has en-
tered and taxed the merchants
one hundred thousand dollars.
Heavy Load
Impossible" said Stephen.
He had a mental picture of
that city with it's rows and
rows of petty shops, its few
merchants of moderate means.
Impossible: there is not that
much money in the town." he
cried.
1T is paid" was the laconic
response of the shipping clerk.
Stephen stood aghast. The
town would be ruined. Cock
eyed Ting, what has happened
to him? Could he pay for the
oil stocks he had undoubtedly
lost in the looting? What part
of the tax of a hundred thou
sand dollars had Ting had to
pay? He himself must go i'm.
mediately and see.
At nightfau, Stephen entered
the stricken city. Occasional
furtive figures skulked along
side streets, seeking the food
shops. But for the rest, the city
was like a dead mans abode.

Creighton was reaching the
limit of his endurance, har-
assed to the point where he
felt he must get out of the prov
ince-the object the Chinese
had set out to accomplish. He
was on the point Of risking a
request for a transfer. Not a
good thing to do, he knew, in
the company. Assertion of per-
sonal desire or need was not for
gotten.
The Custom
It was a warm afternoon, the
sky hazy. Such were the au-
tumn days in Creighton's boy
hood home in the South. It
was difficult for him to be dis
couraged for long. AS he strolled
along the water front after Of
flee hours, memories awoke tax
ing him back into the happy-go-
lucky spirit Of his boyhood.
Certain sleight-of-hand tricks he
had once enjoyed performing
popped into his head, as he
passed an old man peddling a
tray of early tangerines.
venerable One" he said,
"those are fine tangerines. How
much for one?"
1.-TWO coppers, I say"
Creighton, without bargaining,
paid the two coppers.
All" said the crowd, when
this barbarian came among us,
he broke the custom, cheating
the carriers of two coppers
apiece. Now he breaks it, pay
ing a FOOLS price for a tan
gerine."
In the midst of the crowd
gathered around him, Creighton
ostentatiously peeled the tanger-
inc. And 10! when he split it,
there was a thin silver piece in
its center.

crowd.
1T is a good bargain I have
made" said Creighton. pocket
ing the dime. Then he spoke
again to the vender. Sell me,
old man. another tangerine.
Here are the two coppers."
THAT was small and infe-
rior fruit" said the vender.
1.-THE rest are greatly big.
Ten cents is the price"
Creighton, again without ar
gument, paid the man what he
asked. The crowd pressed him
close, peering into his face, jos
ting his elbows.
STAND back" he cried in
lordly fashion, that I may eat
this expensive fruit with salts
faction"
Slowly he peeled it, and when
he tore the sections apart, there
lay a silver dollar.
"Sell me another" he cried
with assumed anger. II wish to
eat and I cannot eat money"
But the old man shook his
head. No, no more were for sale
today.
Creighton turned on his heel,
walked along the dock in non
chalant fashion, then came
back, parted the crowd, dense
now around the fruit vender,
who was cutting open one tango
rine after another.
"Old man." said Creighton,
"why seek money in the fruit
when it is in thine carp" And,
leaning over, he took from the
mans ear dollar and laid it on
the tray before him.
A heavy guffaw of laughter
broke from the crowd. "Ie is a
magician" they cried. "like our
own magicianS And he has
paid a lordly big dollar to the
old man for his fun"
Accepted
When Creighton reached the
hong, he found that his wife had
gone out, the children with her.
"I'u not ring for tea" he thought.
Usually at such times there was
no afternoon tea for him or, If
he did get it, the toast was
burned and the cake stale.
Stretching himself out in a
big chair, his legs thrown over
its arm, he began thinking of
his performance on the bund.

done the wrong thing again"

International News Service
Sports Editor

NEW YORK, June 25.-Joe
Louis, the man with the marble
eyes, and Primo Camera, the
lummox, will meet in a fifteen
round black,and-white heavyweight
fight tonight at the Yankee Sta
dunn, with the tremendous Italian
enjoying a weight advantage OF
641a pounds. But that was pretty
much the end of his enjoyment
today. He was on the short end
of the betting at 1910, and, almost
unanimously, the sports writer's
ganged over to Louis cause.
Almost unanimously, Of course,
the sports writer's picked Baer to
annihilate Braddock, but this time
it seemed possible that, by some
rnischance, they might be right.
Favor Louis
Louis, who has knocked out IS
of his "a opponents in brief but
dramatic year of professional box
ing, somehow figured to cut down
the huge hulk of this rival who
only a year ago held the heavy
weight championship.
Louis weighed 1876 pounds when
he trod upon the scales at the
boxing commission offices today.
Camera, some five inches taller,
weighed 26O12.
In spite of his size, however,
few gave this circus exhibit a
chance for a knockout, his in.
ability to do other than paw and
stab with a left being well known.
He knocked out Jack Sharkey for
the heavyweight title with a right
uppercut but that was strictly
down his alley. An ex-wrestler,
he only is able to punch upward
with real effect, his weight and
strength thus being behind the
blow.
Master of Punch
Louis, the strangely emotional
Negro, was credited with being
the master of all punches, by
way of contrast. But, at that,
he likes to throw short punches
and Cameras defense may
smother that kind-and smother
ing, weary Louis arms to a point
where he may be unable to lift
them after the fifth round.
Meantime, with fair weather
and the prospect of a very bois-
ferrous brawl, the ticket sale
mounted with comforting celebrity,

to predict a gross of $350,0OO

Like Teams Chances
Rajah Hornsby, the soul Of
frankness, has said repeatedly
the Indians should walk in with
the pennant. Bill Terry, man
ager of the Giants, is reported
to have said he doesn't see how
the Indians can miss with a
$40, 900 ball player at every posi-

hold similar opinions.
Therefore, it would appear Sir
Walter is on the spot, and Babe
has his eye on any available va

The Indians have been stepping
along briskly of late but they ran
into a snag yesterday in the per

Yank southpaw who turned in his
third victory over them this sea-

The Giants proved they were
human after all by blowing four

losing out in the tenth, 1919, on
pinch hit by Frank Demarree,

Hitting Terrific
The cannonading was terrific in
the older circuit yesterday. The
Giants, for instance, made II hits

Jackson.
The Cards made 10 hits in
