The pistol slid into his pocket; but

right hand stayed where 1t was.
Again the warden knocked, and Hell

to come in.
The warden entered the room.
As his eyes lit upon Pharaoh, he
started, as though in surprise; then he
closed the door behind him and turned
to where Helena stood.

TN 1887 John L. Sullivan fought the
young and stalwart Patsy Cardiff,
whose new-grown reputation had
stretched so high that the sports pages
hailed him as the "Peoria Giant"
Jawn L. weighed more than 230
pounds that night In Minneapolis.
When he donned his tights In the dress
ing room their waist line Immediately
was concealed by the tapping flesh.
But the Boston Strong Boy parted MS
mustache, gulped another tall one ana
stumbled out.
At the bell he charged across the
ring, swinging Justify, seeming deter
mined to get IT over quickly. But the
Peoria Giant was young and sturdy
finely trained for this grand opportu-
nifty. He withstood It all, even one OF
Jawn LIS best to his Jaw. Then he
began landing some vicious blows OF
his own.
They came into the third. Sullivan
was breathing in short, quick, NOISY
puffs. Perhaps this was because he
was so far out of shape. Perhaps also
1t was because he was enraged at this
Peoria Giant who had dared to defy
him. He leaped across the ring, swing
ing fist that had all his 230 pounds
behind 1t.
The blow landed on the young mans
jaw. His legs quivered. He staggered.
But the Peoria Giant stayed up.
Indeed this youngster who could hit
and box and take it stayed for three
more rounds until the scheduled affair
was ended. Then they called 1t draw
and also summoned doctors.
When the physicians emerged from
the dressing room the fans who loved
him listened and were satisfied. They
knew now why Jawn L., after landing
his Sunday punch, had not been able
to finish this aggressive young giant
who had faced him.
When, the doctors said, he had land
ed that right to the jaw of the Peoria
Giant, the Boston Strong Boy had
broken his arm.

Perhaps such evil
dence Of ambition did cause them to
call the turn and predict that the boy
was bound to be good one. J. doubt
it. Somehow feel that it was months
later, when he was we'll on his way to
running off with World Series and be-
coming front-page sensation through
out the land that everybody realized
that rookie really meant business.
By that time, Of course, Pepper Mar
tin did not care what had been the
springtime thoughts of those who had
surrounded him.
By next fall, too, it is possible that
the young man on the train will not
care what one writer thought of him.
Do you remember way back when
Professional baseball players were
put into their first short trousers?
The first important team so sensihly
clad were the cincinnatis of 1867.
Possibly the customers never had
known that the players had legs.
Anyhow the fans looked, gasped and
then yelled In tones of pure admiration.
Thus was born a nickname that
although somewhat abbreviated during
the hurrying seasons--has lived longer
than any other In the history of the
sport.
For the words that burst from the
throats of the admiring, pop-eyed fans
that afternoon were "Red Stockings I"

Helena. Double the watchmen, Florin,
and stop all leave. Two porters are to

of all persons that use the bridge. No

"By his lordship's orders, my lady"
"Those orders are cancelled-until

sleep there tonight. And rouse Rachel,
as well. She will make my room ready
and wait till l come. One thing more"
She drew out her master key. Here is
my key, Florin. You may as well keep
it for me until I need it again."
The warden bowed and took it.
"Will your ladyship speak to the
menu"
"Not tonight. I've changed my mind.
But please see that they do their duty.
I've a definite feeling of danger-very
pressing danger, Florin; so please be-
