' NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-When two
strong men meet face to face, the
chances are that nothing much will
happen. One strong man will size
up the others equipment, the other
will sneak a furtive look at the first
guys chest expansion, and then A
will turn left on Maple, while B
turns left on Elm.
Such is by no means the case
whe. Two strong men face each other
across 500 miles of neutral territory.
With this cozy margin between
them, and no weapon close to hand
but Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph,
the action is bound to be thick and
fast.

she could not fulfill. And again it
was clear that Old Harry's judgment
