Kate looked up at POGO. OF all

his lips, but he looked down at
her and smiled.
Listen to this" he told her.
and said to Cooper: "I apologize.

Cooper nodded and stood up.
He'll accept. He's a good man,

"Ill drop by and see him."
"When you return from your

tof the ring, was yelling his name,
calling for him.
He peered over their heads, and
10, it was his mother. 1t was Nom.
She had her clean housedress
on, with a nice fresh apron over
it, and her hair was all combed
out and prettied from the curriers'
she'd had in it all day. But her
eyes were blazing fire. You could
see she was mad.
Buddy Stevens! You naughty
boy you! Didn't 1 send you to the
store for a quarters worth of
Limburger for your fathers sup
per? Didn't I tell you not to get
playing on the way? What do you
mean getting into fight the min
ute send you out to do one little
thing for mel"
From the improvised ringside,
the glorious crowd, assembled from
two blocks, began rapidly to dis
perse. In the fence corner Aqua
vella mopped at his nose, which
bled satisfyingly. Buddy was sud-
denly more conscious Of the pain
in his head where he had been hit
than of the feel of such laurels as
he had won.
Gee, Nom"
"Don't Gee Nom me! Look at
that boys nose! You know I told
you the last time you got in a
fight that boys mother called me
up and made me pay to have a
stitch put in his face! You get
right out Of here and snap into it
and bring that Limburger home,
and when you get in, you be pre-
pared to have the hide taken right
off you! The idea of boys 10 years
old ripping each other to pieces
lust because Joe Louis is news!"
Gee"
"You get!"
Buddy got.
Halfway down the block, he
came upon Queenie, looking as
though she was purposely loiter-
ing. She kind Of smiled at him.
"You can sure fight, Buddy!"
He would have liked to linger
but the Limberger bounded him.
Tomorrow" be said, with studied
nonchalance, "I'll get somewhere
with him some place and finish
him. Where our parents can't
butt in and stop us"
When he got through with his
supper, and maybe a bath If he
had to take it,, and his whaling,
if he could get few minutes to
himself, some place quiet, he would
sit down and think some more
about it.
While you're almost champion
you ought to have time to sit
down and think about it.

from the cerebral sediment of
your youth and coming at you
confused, as by depth bomb, and
stumbling over each other like a
mob Of octopuSes jamming for a
fire exit.
Blurring through them, though,
and in time to save him, came
that supreme and dominent urge
that had sent him into the ring
In a spirit Of crisiS-the urge to
hit his way to conquest or forever
hang his head before a pair of
blue eyes and a mop of yellow
hair. And so he hit, striking out
wildly and rapidly, at first at the
empty air, but then AQuavella
moved into the path of the blows,
seeking TO take advantage, and it
is a fact of history that something
toppled him over again, like a
nine-pin. He was down for a six
count.
SUPREME EFFORT
Standing over the PROSTATE fig
ure. still only half conscious of
what he had accomplished, Buddy
fought to bring his mind into the
clear from the fog of confusion.
There was Queenie, not in actu-
allty, but memory, looking at her
red painted fingernails as he
walked past her, just as If he
didn't exist, somehow.
There was Aquavella, when he
knocked out Harry Becker last
fall, just about Thanksgiving time.
There was his father coming into
the room when he was seven to
give him a whaling on his birth
day because he had cut his
thumb with his birthday pocket
knife.
And himself, lying about it and
saying he had torn it open on a
briar. His mother giving him a
quarter and sending him to the
delicatessen for the usual piece of
limburger for his fathers supper,
and telling him to hurry and not
play on the way
Five six =" Slowly,
Aquavella got to his feet, and once
again the supreme urge to hit su-
perseded all else and Buddy
reached out for him.
AquaVella fell over his shoulder,
and he smelt strongly of garlic.
Sock him on the jaw. Sock him
anywhere. Ouch!
Aquavella had freed himself and
was throwing punches at him like
somebody gasping for air and try
ing to clear him out of the way to
get it.
Buddy hit again, and this time
