Cflloxne Cathedral. IS—Comment by Rev. 8. H. Doyl*. Tone.—The Living Bread.—John vi, 26-89. Christ was often wont to nse typai_ and figures to illustrate Hia character" and Hia work. This was particularly the case when men misunderstood or failed to understand Him and His mission. To Thomas, who had failed to grasp Christ's mission, He illustrated it by saying, "I am the way." To those who falsely thought that the blessings He was to bring men temporal and carnal He here describes Hinftelf as the true Bread, the living Br»ad from heaven. He was not to feejl the body by multiplying loaves and fishes, but was to satisfy the longingPbf the soul by Himself. What He means by Himself ■s the Bread of life is simply that as bread food is necessary to the physical life and is able to satisfy and sustain the physical life, so He is necessary to the life of the soul, able to satisfy its cravings and able to sustain it forever. Note— We had left the hatter's and were walking toward my office when my wife catted my attention to a lady coming across the street. She was a very pretty blond. When I glanced at her, she seemed to be looking toward me, and there was a singular expression on her face, a curious combination of surprise and pain or disapproval. 1 thought she made a little motion with her hand, but wasn't sure. As she was an entire stranger to me I supposed 1 must be mistaken and, looking away, continued on with my wife. "You are Philip Carr, and you are from Omaha. In our family you are known as the man from Omaha." Restorations of the Cologne cathedral have been continuous ever since 1824. It was the old kaiser who determined that the "Drama In Stone" should be put In order. Three leading German architects have been giving the cathedral all their skill during the last 70 years, and the total outlay has been some $5,500,000. Receives the Decision la the The old gentleman smiled fondly toward bis daughter. "I've no doubt you know him when you see him," he said, "but you may have seen some one else who strongly resembles him and been led to think It was he." Twenty-fifth Round. I saw the look of wonder on his face and added: "I first heard of you about a year ago. and since then I have been mistaken for you more than once by your Omaha friends, and no longer ago The decision was not announced from the ring, or if it was few heard it, and a great mob surged around for several minutes, yelling and shouting victor and vanquished.JAMES RAYMOND FERRY. A HARD F0JGHT BATTLE. Summary of the Ronndi. [COPYRIGHT, 1899, BY JAMES RAYMOND FERRY ] "I have It!" I exclaimed suddenly. "She's seen the man from Omaha!" than yesterday my own wife mistook you for me. and today she mistook me for yon. So you can easily Imagine that I feel quite well acquainted and friendly toward you. My name Is Bruce—Richard Bruce. Here's my card, and I want you to come out and see me before you leave town. My wife First Round.—They squared off. Sharkey swung right and left for jaw. Jeffries landed left in the stomach. Then came a clinch. Sharkey led left, but it went around. Sharkey led a wild left, Jeffries getting out of the way. Sharkey feinted with left and Jeffries hit lightly. Both exchanged lefts twice and clinched. Sharkey landed left hard in stomach.

As will be remembered, there was a parade after the dedication ceremonies at the monument were over. I watched the procession, but of tourse I could not see every individual In it, and 1 didn't happen to see the inwn from Omaha. I took no part In the parade, and so I was not a little surprised when on my way home that afternoon an acquaintance said to me: "Bruce, you looked first rate In the saddle. But how did you happen to be with the NebraskansT" "Looked first rate in the saddler I repeated. "What do you mean? 1 haven't been in a saddle for ten years." "Weren't you In the parade this afternoon?" he demanded. "No, sir." had been there, though I admit it was tantamount to it I beg your pardon for that I was joking, quite harmlessly, I thought But let me explain. There lives in Omaha a man who, so far as I can judge, must be my exact double. I heard of him first through an acquaintance, and twice since have I been stopped on the street by men who mistook me for this man from Omaha. When you mentioned that you saw me in Omaha, I at once conjectured that you had seen my double, and I thought I would have a little fun with Make a City. According to the ninth annual report of the New York state commission in lunacy, there are held in the various asylums for the insane in New York state 21,683 persons. REFUSED TO BE KNOCKED OUT My wife had kept her eyes on the woman all the time, and as we passed on she said, "How funny she acted!" She was curious and turned to look back after we had gone a few steps. "Oh, Dick!" she said. "Do you suppose"— She did not finish, but buried her face on my shoulder, and when she raised it she was wiping tears from her eyes. Is particularly desirous of meeting you." One of the Best Pugilistic Enconn- Second Round.—Jeffries landed left over heart. Sharkey was knocked down with a straight left on jaw. He took the full count Sharkey made a wild swing and fell. Jeffries landed a stiff right to the heart and repeated it. Jeffries landed right on jaw. Sharkey rushed Jeffries to the ropes. Sharkey landed left on jaw. Third Round.—Sharkey led left to wind. Jeffries uppereut with left on jaw. Jeffries jabbed the heart. Jeffries landed in the wind. Jeffries landed right and left on head. Jeffries landed right on heart. Sharkey's right reached neck. Sharkey landed two heart blows and repeated them. The man from Omaho grasped my hand. "Mr. Bruce," he said, "you have removed a great load from my mind. I shall be only too glad to accept your ters In Years—Story of the Fight Let us see, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly, if we can get some comprehension of what these figures represent, of the mere material loss they stand for. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Bangor, Me.; Cedar Kapids, la.; New Albany, Ind., for instance, are among the most prosperous cities in their respective states. In daily activities, in churches and schools, in factories and stores, they are about equivalent to the efforts of the same number of persons as are confined in asylums for the insane that the state of New York is compelled to support. In other words, the population of these asylums is nearly equal to that of one of the country's important cities. Told by Rounds—Plenty of Blood "She's standing stock still, looking at us," she said. "What do you suppose ails her?" Mr. Noble looked at us questioningly. Spilled by the Contestant*. "Yes," I said, reading bis look. "Mary and I came perilously near quarreling over this Omaha double of mine, but your explanation has set things right" When we were out in the front vestibule, starting for home, my wife reached up and kissed me and whispered, "Oh, Dick, you are so good!" New l'ork, Nov. 4.—Jeffries still is king of the bruisers by virtue of a right hook, but he could not knock Tom Sharkey out. His title deed to his crown is a referee's decision after 25 rounds of rough thumping. hugging, rubbing and wrestling. •The battle for the championship was more like a succession of railroad collisions than a fist fight. It was a battle between a buffalo and a bear, and the buffalo had the best of It when the rules ended it. Invitation. But first I want to ask a favor of you. 1 want you to come with me and see a lady, not my wife, but my betrothed. She is the prettiest and sweetest woman In the world. Three days ago 1 came here a happy man. I was to be married. The wedding day was set for day after tomorrow. Night before last I went to call on Miss Dalton—that is my betrothed's name— and she received me coolly. She declared that she had seen me on the street that afternoon with a handsome brunette—Miss Dalton is a blond—and that when she bowed uid motioned to me I kept right on avlth the other woman and paid no .-Itention to her whatever. She was abounded at my conduct and quite naturally, and when ■be met me that evening she let me see how offended she was. 1 protested that "1 don't know, I'm sure. She may have thought she knew us," I replied. My wife looked back several times, but the throng on the street had come between us and the woman, and we did not see her again. 1. Tfie philosophy of bread in its relation to life. That bread sustains life is indisputable. The man who ceases to eat soon ceases to live. But how bread sustains the life cannot be explained. We may follow the food in its changes in the hunthn system, but just when or juet how the food we eat becomes onr life no scientist can explain. We know the fact, btit the philosophy of it is unknown. Nor can we tell how Christ satisfies and sustains the life of the souL This fact has led many to refuse to accept Christ.

"I'm going to stand on one of the busy corners and watch for the man from Omaha. If I see him, I'm going to speak to him and ask him If he won't go to your office with me. I want you to see each other, and I want to see you two together and see If you really look so much alike as you seem to." The day following I returned from a difficult and weary day's work at the office. It should be stated here that my father-in-law, Mr. Noble, is president of the company which employs ma Upon entering our room I found my wife coldly scornful, though as bewilderingly pretty as ever. Fourth Round.—Sharkey led with left. They clinched. Sharkey got a heart blow. He gave Jeffries one. Jeffries reuched Tom's heart, and Jim uppereut in the stomach. Jeffries landed uppereut on jaw. Jeffries landed heart blow twice. Ten thousand spectators gathered around the ringside. Though Coney Island was swept by a gale, the cars came down crowded to the guards in a swiftly moving line, and the sports waded knee deep to the narrow entrances leading to the arena. If the comparison could be carried futr ther nnd we could ascertain the number or ordinary paupers, deaf and dumb, blind, crippled, idiotitL epileptic, asylum and hospital inmates J*d of other public and semipublic philanthropic and correctional institutions, the burden which misfortune and crime put upon the self supporting would assume appalling proportions. The most that we can now do in that direction is to state tBat the census of 1890 gave, in a partial enumeration of these classes, their number at 90, 520. This was larger than the population then returned for the flourishing cities of Syracuse, N. Y.; Columbus. O.: Worcester. Mass., and Richmond, Va. Apparently the number of insane has since increased 50 per cent. If there has been a like increase all along the line of the dependent and restrained classes, as is not improbable, their growth has been much larger than that of the normal masses. "Why, I saw yon. I stood on the curb, and yon passed within three feet of me. Tou looked exactly as yon do this mlnnte, except for your uniform. And you mean to say It wasn't you?" 1 assured my acquaintance that It really and truly wasn't me. "Well," he said, "you have got a double, sure enough. 1 wondered at the time bow you happened to be with the governor of Nebraska." My wife and I live in a boarding bouse, and at dinner that night some of our fellow boarders entertained a guest from Omaha. He was Dr. Somebody. I do not now recall his name. After being Introduced I caught him eying me curiously. Presently he said: "Mr. Bruce, yon bear a most astonishing likeness to a friend of mine In Omaha. If I bad met yon anywhere else, I should certainly have thought you were Philip Carr. He was here In the parade today, on the staff of our governor." I did not see the man from Omaha while he was in the city that time. Several weeks passed, and I had quite for- Fifth Round.—Sharkey landed left, and in clinch got in two rights. Jeffries lauded three. Jeffries rushed Sharkey to the ropes. Sharkey landed left. Jeffries landed six times. "I am going home to my mother, Richaxd Bruce," she said. "It was a sorry day when I ever left ber to link my fate to a double faced, deceitful man like yourself." At 8:30 there were 5,000 in the build- 1 smiled. "All right, my dear," 1 said. "A needle In a haystack, you know. But If you should chance to see him, which Is extremely improbable, 1 recommend you to exercise great discretion. The man from Omaha might naturally feel rather suspicious to have a strange woman In a strange city accost him familiarly and request him to go with her to her husband's office, lie might think It was some new kind of confidence game." Sixth Round.—Jeffries landed on nose and heart. Tom hit in the body and face. Sharkey drew first blood. That I was somewhat taken aback by this greeting may be readily surmised. At first I supposed my wife must be going through a bit of amateur acting, but when I saw the uncompromising look on her face I wondered If she bad not suddenly gone crazy. I had been walking with no brunette nor. In fact, with any lady that afternoon and assured her that she must certainly have mistaken some other man for me. I succeeded in partly convincing her, I think, that she had made a mistake. The next day as we were about to enter a carriage I saw a very pretty brunette looking at me rather strangely, 1 thought. She looked as if she thought she knew me, but as I had Dever seen her before I turned away." Seventh Round.—Jeffrvs punched Sharkey's heart twice. He landed hard on stomach. Jim uppereut on jaw.

You would be If you were not such a brazen villain. I shall never again trust any one. I trusted you, and you have proved false, utterly false." My wife's voice trembled, and I thought she was about to break down and weep, but Bhe Is a proud woman and controlled herself. I went to the office after leaving my wife In a corner doorway where the stream of travel from two streets flowed by. Not long before noon 1 had occasion to leave the office on a matter of business. Having performed my mission, I was returning when 1 heard a familiar voice speaking timidly and hesitatingly in my ear. Turning, I saw my wife looking at me wistfully and wonderlngly. "I beg your pardon," she said. "Are you—Is your name Mr. Carr? Is your home—do you live In Omaha 7' Tenth Round.—Jeffries landed on heart and Tom on stomach. Sharkey landed two on heart.

Two hours ago I called to see Miss Dalton. She met me and declared that it was all over between ua.

She thinks that 1 have deceived her, betrayed her trust In me, and she declares that she will never marry me. Until 1 met you 1 was in despair." t*That was my wife," I interjected. "I was at a dinner in New York about a mouth ago that broke the record for cost," said Mr. M. E. Montrose of The Metropolis in conversation with friends at Chamberlin's. Dinner at f»o a Plate. Eleventh Round.—Jeffries rushed Tom across ring. He landed hard on heart twice. Tom landed on kidneys. Jeffries forced fight. "It doesn't seem possible," he said, "that the man I saw wasn't you. Eyes, nose, mouth, color of hair, cut of beard —everything about the man was an exact duplicate of you. "It was a feast such as old Lucullus or Epicurus never dreamed of, and even In this luxurious epoch few of its kind are seen. It was given by a gentleman who had just reached the thirtieth auni versary of his birth, coincident with which he came into possession of $400, 000 left by a relative who did not want him to have possession of that much cash till he had reached an age where presumably he would be discreet enough to take care of his inheritance. Twelfth Round.—Jim got home on heart. Tom landed twice on body. Jeffries landed two more on heart. Tom got in on jaw. As I say, I had come home from a difficult day's work, and I was not In a very good temper for moods or mysteries. I sank wearily Into a chair. gotten that there was a man in Omaha when something happened to remind me of the fact One night on the way from my office to a car I saw a gentleman advancing from the opposite direction. He was smiling toward me In a friendly fashion and, I thought, seemed mighty glad to see me. His hand was extended, and under the Impression that I might bare met him before I took it We fhook hands warmly, not to say with fervor. But even while we were doing so and while I was searching in the darker recesses of memory for the man's name the expression of pleasure on his face changed, and with rather more doubt than conviction he said, "You're from Omaha, aren't you 7" But be shook bis bead while be was speaking, bis eyes studying my face with great earnestness.

I said to my friend: 'Why, there's Dick Bruce. I wonder what he's doing in Omaha!' Thirteenth Round.—Tom landed on jaw and Jim on stomach. Sharkey got in two more hard ones. I laughed outright. I couldn't help It JEFFRIES. "Have the goodness, Mary," I said, "to cease this abuse and tell me what has happened." ing, and later the boxes filled up to overflowing.A preliminary event of ten rounds at 128 pound* preceded the big event, and "Kid" Goulette of Rochester, who looked a great deal like Jeffries on a small scale, was beaten by Tommy Moran of Brooklyn.Fourteenth Round.—Jim landed on breast and one in wind. They force fight. Jim jabbed heart. "Dick, you wretch!" she exclaimed. "What did you put 021 another coat and come out on the street for—Just to fool me 7" My voice was stern, and I suppose It also sounded sincere, for she looked at me with some bewilderment intermixed with her scorn and wrath. Fifteenth Round.—Tom landed twice on neck and ribs. Jim staggered Sharkey, but was tiring. "No," I said. *1 was In a hurry and did not stop to change my office coat. It didn't occur to me that my own wife would mistake me for the man from "To this dinner he invited 19 guests, the host completing the even score who sat down in the beautifully decorated banquet room. The bill for this entertainment was shown me, and 1 confess that it gaTe me a shock as 1 read the figures—$1,804. But slight figuring will show that this made the cost per plate exceed $00. The gentleman who gave this expensive dinner paid the bill merrily enough, and 1 don't suppose that he thought the price at all excessive. Nobody knows better than he does the tariff on burgundy over 50 years old, which was drunk that night as copiously as though it were beer at 5 cents a bottle." —Washington Post. Sixteenth Round.—Jim landed on heart and jaw. Sharkey put in one on jaw. Jeffries landed two on wind. "Tell you what has happened!" she repeated. "Richard Bruce, are you craxy, or do you think I am a born idlotr Then, after half an hour's delay, Tom Sharkey was seen making his way through the crowds. He was well received, but Jeffries was cheered to the echo. Sharkey had on green trunks, with an American flag for a belt, while the champion wore black. Jeffries had behind him Billy Delaney, Ernest Roeber, Tommy Ityan and his brother. Jack Jeffries. Sharkey was led to the southwest corner by Tom O'Rourke, and was attended by George Dixon, Morris Kelly and Tim McOratli O'Rourke superintending the entire prov»JurCD. George Siler refereed. Jeffries weighed 212 pounds and Sharkey 25 pounds less, but the latter looked to be in better coudition, the Caiifornian being sallow, with staring eyes and other evidences of not the best condition. The betting at the start was 100 to 70 on Jeffries. They shook hands and shaped up well. Jeffries led and then landed several times. He was generally over or under. On the other hand, the sailor was wild, going into the fight with both hands and swinging wildly, but he did not land the hrst blow. Again in the second Sharkey was flopping around, and he came in for a nasty left that rolled him over. It looked then as though Sharkey was clearly out- "WeU, cheer up, my friend," I said. "Whea she sees me and my wife, matters will be set straight with ber.M Seventeenth Round.—Both were tired and hugged. Tom got in two on face. Jeffries landed on stomach twice. Tom hit_Jim twice. "At that moment you—the man, I mean—looked toward me, and I smiled and nodded just as I naturally would, meeting you away from home that way. I was stepping toward you with my hand out when the look on your face made me stop and draw back. You looked squarely at me and cut me dead, never smiled, nodded or anything, just didn't know me. I don't think I ever felt much more cut up in my life. My friend grinned a little and remarked, 'He doesn't seem to know you very well, Hull.' Then he asked, 'Did you know the man with him?' I said no, and he said: "That's the governor of Nebraska. I see him often on the streets of Lincoln.' "Hitherto I have not thought so, but if compelled to answer either of your questions I should feel Inclined to affirm the latter," was my reply, unquestionably an ill advised one. Omaha." And once more 1 laughed aloud at what I was pleased to regard a capital Joke on my wife. I suppose the Joke did not seem quite as funny to her as it did to me, for a suspicion of a pout appeared on her pretty lips, and she said: "I'm glad to be so amusing, Richard. But you don't look a btt more like yourself than the mau that I krw yesterday who wasn't you. 80 how could I know you were yourself?" Eighteenth Round.—Tom landed on jaw. Jim got home on ear and heart. Sharkey pounded ribs and sent in swing on neck. We had been walking along the street as he talked, and I noticed many people turn to look as we passed. Singularly enough, our drees was quite similar, and people doubtless mistook Bible Readings.—Ex. Dent viii, 1-8; laa. lv, 1- 1-4; v, 6t «. 11; vii, 7- 28; John vi, 47-51; xxi, x, 18.

If you have not lost your reason, tell me what I have done." "I think you have," I replied. "At first I thought I had met 70a before, but I can't place yon." "I thought you were Mr. Carr. a friend of mine In Omaha. You look very much like him. But I aee you're not." And he passed on. Some months elapsed, and one noon when 1 was out for luncheon I felt a touch on my shoulder. Turning, I faced a man with gray hair and mustache. He was a stranger to me, but his band was extended for a shake. 1 did not grasp it, and when he looked me full In the face 1 saw the expression of friendly greeting change to one of hesitation and perplexity. He gazed wistfully Into my face and asked: "You're—you're from Omaha, aren't your* "Of course you couldn't my dear," 1 said. "And now, Mary, It is 12 o'clock, and If you don't mind lunching with a husband In his office coat 1 want you to come and lunch with me." The use of peanuts in the preparation of various disbea is increasing. A wafer to be offered at afternoon teas is made by chopping very fine a pint of the shelled nuts and mixing them with three eggs, two tablespoonfnls of milk, a little salt and a cup of sugar creamed with two tablespoonfuls of butter. Flour is added to make a soft dough, which is rolled very thin, cut into strips and baked in a moderate oven. Peanut sandwiches, too, are appetizing and nutritious either for tea or with the salad at luncheon or dinner. Several recipes are followed to make them, a good oue calling for brown bread. This is cut iu thin slices and very lightly buttered, spread with cream cheese and a layer of finely chopped nuts. The slices are then pressed together and cut in circles or oblongs. At the grocer's may be found peanut butter put up in tumblers or small jars that is also intended for use in sandwiches. The compound is manufactured by Beveral different firms, all of which claim great nutritive as well as appetising value for their product.—New York Post. I and not be whom she had seen that afternoon. I explained that I had seen her a moment afterward lying In a faint and recognized her as the lady whom my wife and I had seen on the street two days before. Twenty-second Round.—Both landed hard on mouth and jaw. Jim uppercut twice. Sharkey was groggy. Twenty-third Round.—Jim landed three times hard and uppercut jaw. "Very well. I will, though you know as well what you have done before I tell you as you will after. Yesterday, when we saw that woman on the street, you pretended to me that you didn't know her, that you had never seen her before, and today, when I met you face to face with her and started to speak to you, you turned away, with a laugh, toward the odious creature and utterly ignored me. I was so dumfounded for a moment that I could neither speak nor move, and while I stood there, speechless, you both entered a carriage and were driven away. Now you know what you have done, and if you think your wife Is the kind of woman to overlook It you are Immensely mistaken. Let me pass, please." The pouts disappeared from Mary's lips, for she is foolishly fond of taking luncheon with me down town*- Luncheon over, I walked with her to the corner where she was to take a car for home. She had concluded that ber one brilliant success In finding the man from Omaha was sufficient and she would not try again. Twenty-fourth Round.—Jim landed on stomach and staggered Tom. Sharkey hugged. "Then I wondered if you could be such a contemptible snob as to cut me Just because you happened to be walking with the chief executive of the state. I would have sworn you couldn't if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." Nor need I describe thft merriment we all Indulged in when Mr. Carr and Miss Dalton, agreeably to tbelr promise, came out to see my wife and me that evening. We had a merry time of It Indeed, and when the two ladles saw us together they began to wonder how they could have mistaken one for the other, for it transpired that I was taller by a full inch than Carr and a good 15 pounds heavier. Nevertheless they acknowledged that the likeness was really startling. Twenty-fifth Round.—Jeffries wins. MEN OF MARK. "Well," I said, "the man from Omaha must be a dangerous double. I should like to meet him, for then I could see myself as others see me. I suppose when he saw you he probably thought you were bowing to the governor and so didn't return your bow." "Probably," replied Ilarry. Some months passed, and the man from Omaha was forgotten. Martin H. Glynn of Albany is the youngest member of the Fifty-sixth congress, being only 26 years old. A car not being immediately at hand, we stood on the corner talking.

Alexander Henderson of Syracuse baa acted as pail bearer at the funeral of 172 of his friends during the last 50 years.

Edison works in overall* and blouse, and visitors to bis laboratory usually mistake him for one of the workmen.The time is rapidly coming when American Protestants will have to call a halt to the custom of closing town churches in the summer. The cessation of church work in the summer is accountable for a very large proportion of the neglect of the Sabbath among Christian people. You cannot intermit public worship for two months and then sustain it with enthusiasm the rest of the year. The number of people who go out of town in the summer is grossly exaggerated, and those who do go are not all away at the same time.—Watch- Watchman."No," I said, "I'm not the man from Omaha. My name Is Bruce. You thought 'twas Carr, didn't you7" "Yes," he said. "But—how did you know?" "Oh, I've been mistaken for him before," I said, smiling, and with that 1 bowed and passed on. It was not long after this that my friend Harry Hull returned from a western trip. He had been gone several weeks, and I was very glad to see him and met him warmly. But 1 thought I detected an unwonted frost)ness in his manner. He replied rather coldly to my questions regarding his health and directed most of bis conversation to a mutual friend who chanced to be with me. This mutual friend withdrew, however, in a few minutes and left Harry alone with me. He seemed rather embarrassed and made brief replies to my inquiries. I began to won(Jer what the deuce ailed {ilm, and ip trying to remember what I could have done to offend him I lapsed Into silence myself. No; all that need not be told, for it Isn't a part of the story. It only remains to say that the wedding Bet for the second day after was not deferred. My wife and I received an urgent invitation to be present and, overlooking the fact that we had known the contracting parties a matter of some 48 hours only, gladly accepted, and we were as sincere as any one In extending wishes for their future happiness. One evening at the dinner table young Skinner, who takes his meals at the house, but lodges up the street a few doors, remarked with sundry winks in my direction: "Fine looking girl, Bruce, I saw you walking with today. Sister or cousin?" I acknowledged my Inability to guess what It was she desired. "I waut to .viss you," she said. "Do you suppose l»eople on the street would think it was funny if they saw us do it?

The Californian crouched down low, and, though his eyes blazed. I held out a detaining band. "Listen to me," I said. "You are evidently laboring under a delusion.

I grind the corn, the bright yellow grain, to he smiled and • generally over at O'Rourke, who was coaching his man over the ropes. Sharkey's vicious punches began to tell, and at the close of the seventh it seemed as though Jeffries could hardly walk to his corner, and it seemed certain there would be a new champion. Sharkey's ear was split in the eighth, and it made him mad like a bull. He rushed, swinging lefts and rights and landed nearly all of them, with Jeffries throwing himself over the sailor. The Californian pushed his man over the ropes at every opportunity and iu some of the rounds rested his great head on Sharkey's shoulder, so much that he was hissed and jeered. Jeffries landed a terrific uppercut in the tenth, and Sharkey's eyelid was split, but in the twelfth Sharkey got back with a half dozen left swings aud a straight right, and it was wonderful they did not end the fight. Jeffries hugged the sailor hard and shook his head as he went to his corner.

He's gone to {be Klondike now.'1 "It's no such thing, Mr. Skinner," interposed my wife. "Dick's brother isn't married, for he hasn't got one. But I'm Interested in the girl. What did she look like?" Turning to go back to the office, I noticed a little commotion at the entrance to a drug store on the corner, and In answer to my Inquiry a bystander told tne that a woman had Jyst fainted and was beiqg carried Inside to be revived. As I passed on I happened to catch sight of the woman's face through the wide plate glass window. It was the blond whom my wife and I bad seen Shaving so singularly on the street two days before.

Now I pour out the golden meal and mix the bread. Every round carried Sharkey across the ring at the start, and he was fighting the champion all over the canvas. Iu the fifteenth round Jeffries made a bluff at forcing, hut 'Sharkey was at him again like a bulldog and swung high and low and landed almost every time he swung. The Californiau made little effort to lead. He preferred the defensive, and be was winded. Sharkey, too, was tiring fast, and they punched and swung and clinched and staggered ail round the ring for the next few rounds. Friendships that are for the sake of convenience gfratter and die out as a candle, and at best their light is dim and weak. But the friendship that is born of love shines with the warm, steady glow of the eternal sun. There is nothing fitful or occasional about it. Constancy is its invariable characteristic.

While the eye was developing the lizard seemed to be no more inconvenienced than a human being is in the growing «f finger nails or hair. Then with hands of skill I form the loaves and place them on the fire. "No; the hour Is sufficient," I replied. "Mary, do you think your father would enter into collusion with me to deeeive you? Would he connive with me in a piece of villainy such as you believe I have practiced upon you?"

Ex-Secretary John G. Carlisle when preparing a case or a speech mechanically plays solitaire. He will begin sometimes early in the evening and be at the game until long after midnight. Although his mind is on the more serious matter, he rarely makes a misplay. "That's right," returned Skinner. "I Cpoke before I thought It wasn't right, and I'm sorry. I beg your pardon, Bruce. It shall not occur again." "My father!" she exlaimed. "Certainly not. He is the only man left, since you have deceived pje, In whom I pan place confidence. He is a gentleman and would not lie." The crowd shrieked froui the sound of the gong to the close of each round. Both men were covered with blood, and Jefries was bleeding badly from his nose which Sharkey's savage right had split.

The terrible scar on the cheek of General Guy V. Henry was received In the Sioux uprising of 1873. "When I was fighting the Indians," he explains, "1 was wounded and fell from my horse. The savages didn't seem to think much of my scalp, and so they took my cheek." "But I want to know more about this peach complexioned blond," my wife said. "Where were they when you saw them, and what were they doing, Mr. Skinner?" Mr. Zangwill had a hard struggle with adversity before lie achieved fame.

The amount of hard work My store fails not. My hands are ever full; my hearth is warm. I am no queen, sisters, only a humble, toiling maid. Suddenly in the twenty-second round Jeffries seemed to take on new life. Just at the close of this round the champion swung rignt ana lert on snamey s juw and was almost -taken off his feet. He reeled, and the gong saved him. He came back hard, however, in the next, but Jeffries had the best of it, putting in two right uppercuts, Jeffries' friends howled them»elves hoarse, while Sharkey's urged him with loud cries to go in hard and rough it. He threw down his terrierlike head, aud, though his strength was fast leaving him, he had Jeffries guessing to the gong sound. "Very well." I said. "Let us go to him.

"Good thing," remarked the landlady's daughter, a bright little miss of 10, whereat several of the boarders laughed, for Skinner had the reputation of talking a good deal without saying very much. I could see by the look iq ray wife's face that she was much mystified at my proposal. She did not demur, however, and we were soon on our way to my father-ln-law's.

"She's seen the man from Omaha!" than yesterday my own wife mistook you for me. and today she mistook me for yon. So you can easily Imagine that I feel quite well acquainted and friendly toward you. My name Is Bruce—Richard Bruce. Here's my card, and I want you to come out and see me before you leave town. My wife First Round.—They squared off. Sharkey swung right and left for jaw. Jeffries landed left in the stomach. Then came a clinch. Sharkey led left, but it went around. Sharkey led a wild left, Jeffries getting out of the way. Sharkey feinted with left and Jeffries hit lightly. Both exchanged lefts twice and clinched. Sharkey landed left hard in stomach.

As will be remembered, there was a parade after the dedication ceremonies at the monument were over. I watched the procession, but of tourse I could not see every individual In it, and 1 didn't happen to see the inwn from Omaha. I took no part In the parade, and so I was not a little surprised when on my way home that afternoon an acquaintance said to me: "Bruce, you looked first rate In the saddle. But how did you happen to be with the NebraskansT" "Looked first rate in the saddler I repeated. "What do you mean? 1 haven't been in a saddle for ten years."

"No, sir." had been there, though I admit it was tantamount to it I beg your pardon for that I was joking, quite harmlessly, I thought But let me explain. There lives in Omaha a man who, so far as I can judge, must be my exact double. I heard of him first through an acquaintance, and twice since have I been stopped on the street by men who mistook me for this man from Omaha. When you mentioned that you saw me in Omaha, I at once conjectured that you had seen my double, and I thought I would have a little fun with Make a City. According to the ninth annual report of the New York state commission in lunacy, there are held in the various asylums for the insane in New York state 21,683 persons. REFUSED TO BE KNOCKED OUT My wife had kept her eyes on the woman all the time, and as we passed on she said, "How funny she acted!" She was curious and turned to look back after we had gone a few steps. "Oh, Dick!" she said. "Do you suppose"— She did not finish, but buried her face on my shoulder, and when she raised it she was wiping tears from her eyes. Is particularly desirous of meeting you."

Jeffries landed a stiff right to the heart and repeated it. Jeffries landed right on jaw. Sharkey rushed Jeffries to the ropes. Sharkey landed left on jaw. Third Round.—Sharkey led left to wind. Jeffries uppereut with left on jaw. Jeffries jabbed the heart. Jeffries landed in the wind. Jeffries landed right and left on head. Jeffries landed right on heart. Sharkey's right reached neck. Sharkey landed two heart blows and repeated them. The man from Omaho grasped my hand. "Mr. Bruce," he said, "you have removed a great load from my mind. I shall be only too glad to accept your ters In Years—Story of the Fight Let us see, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly, if we can get some comprehension of what these figures represent, of the mere material loss they stand for. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Bangor, Me.; Cedar Kapids, la.; New Albany, Ind., for instance, are among the most prosperous cities in their respective states. In daily activities, in churches and schools, in factories and stores, they are about equivalent to the efforts of the same number of persons as are confined in asylums for the insane that the state of New York is compelled to support. In other words, the population of these asylums is nearly equal to that of one of the country's important cities. Told by Rounds—Plenty of Blood "She's standing stock still, looking at us," she said.

New l'ork, Nov. 4.—Jeffries still is king of the bruisers by virtue of a right hook, but he could not knock Tom Sharkey out. His title deed to his crown is a referee's decision after 25 rounds of rough thumping. hugging, rubbing and wrestling. •The battle for the championship was more like a succession of railroad collisions than a fist fight. It was a battle between a buffalo and a bear, and the buffalo had the best of It when the rules ended it. Invitation. But first I want to ask a favor of you. 1 want you to come with me and see a lady, not my wife, but my betrothed. She is the prettiest and sweetest woman In the world. Three days ago 1 came here a happy man. I was to be married. The wedding day was set for day after tomorrow. Night before last I went to call on Miss Dalton—that is my betrothed's name— and she received me coolly. She declared that she had seen me on the street that afternoon with a handsome brunette—Miss Dalton is a blond—and that when she bowed uid motioned to me I kept right on avlth the other woman and paid no .-Itention to her whatever. She was abounded at my conduct and quite naturally, and when ■be met me that evening she let me see how offended she was. 1 protested that "1 don't know, I'm sure. She may have thought she knew us," I replied. My wife looked back several times, but the throng on the street had come between us and the woman, and we did not see her again. 1. Tfie philosophy of bread in its relation to life. That bread sustains life is indisputable. The man who ceases to eat soon ceases to live. But how bread sustains the life cannot be explained.

"I'm going to stand on one of the busy corners and watch for the man from Omaha. If I see him, I'm going to speak to him and ask him If he won't go to your office with me. I want you to see each other, and I want to see you two together and see If you really look so much alike as you seem to." The day following I returned from a difficult and weary day's work at the office. It should be stated here that my father-in-law, Mr. Noble, is president of the company which employs ma Upon entering our room I found my wife coldly scornful, though as bewilderingly pretty as ever. Fourth Round.—Sharkey led with left. They clinched. Sharkey got a heart blow. He gave Jeffries one. Jeffries reuched Tom's heart, and Jim uppereut in the stomach. Jeffries landed uppereut on jaw. Jeffries landed heart blow twice. Ten thousand spectators gathered around the ringside. Though Coney Island was swept by a gale, the cars came down crowded to the guards in a swiftly moving line, and the sports waded knee deep to the narrow entrances leading to the arena. If the comparison could be carried futr ther nnd we could ascertain the number or ordinary paupers, deaf and dumb, blind, crippled, idiotitL epileptic, asylum and hospital inmates J*d of other public and semipublic philanthropic and correctional institutions, the burden which misfortune and crime put upon the self supporting would assume appalling proportions. The most that we can now do in that direction is to state tBat the census of 1890 gave, in a partial enumeration of these classes, their number at 90, 520. This was larger than the population then returned for the flourishing cities of Syracuse, N. Y.; Columbus. O.: Worcester. Mass., and Richmond, Va. Apparently the number of insane has since increased 50 per cent. If there has been a like increase all along the line of the dependent and restrained classes, as is not improbable, their growth has been much larger than that of the normal masses. "Why, I saw yon. I stood on the curb, and yon passed within three feet of me. Tou looked exactly as yon do this mlnnte, except for your uniform. And you mean to say It wasn't you?" 1 assured my acquaintance that It really and truly wasn't me. "Well," he said, "you have got a double, sure enough. 1 wondered at the time bow you happened to be with the governor of Nebraska." My wife and I live in a boarding bouse, and at dinner that night some of our fellow boarders entertained a guest from Omaha. He was Dr. Somebody. I do not now recall his name. After being Introduced I caught him eying me curiously. Presently he said: "Mr. Bruce, yon bear a most astonishing likeness to a friend of mine In Omaha. If I bad met yon anywhere else, I should certainly have thought you were Philip Carr. He was here In the parade today, on the staff of our governor." I did not see the man from Omaha while he was in the city that time. Several weeks passed, and I had quite for- Fifth Round.—Sharkey landed left, and in clinch got in two rights. Jeffries lauded three. Jeffries rushed Sharkey to the ropes. Sharkey landed left. Jeffries landed six times. "I am going home to my mother, Richaxd Bruce," she said.

"A needle In a haystack, you know. But If you should chance to see him, which Is extremely improbable, 1 recommend you to exercise great discretion. The man from Omaha might naturally feel rather suspicious to have a strange woman In a strange city accost him familiarly and request him to go with her to her husband's office, lie might think It was some new kind of confidence game." Sixth Round.—Jeffries landed on nose and heart. Tom hit in the body and face. Sharkey drew first blood. That I was somewhat taken aback by this greeting may be readily surmised. At first I supposed my wife must be going through a bit of amateur acting, but when I saw the uncompromising look on her face I wondered If she bad not suddenly gone crazy. I had been walking with no brunette nor. In fact, with any lady that afternoon and assured her that she must certainly have mistaken some other man for me. I succeeded in partly convincing her, I think, that she had made a mistake. The next day as we were about to enter a carriage I saw a very pretty brunette looking at me rather strangely, 1 thought. She looked as if she thought she knew me, but as I had Dever seen her before I turned away." Seventh Round.—Jeffrvs punched Sharkey's heart twice. He landed hard on stomach. Jim uppereut on jaw.

You would be If you were not such a brazen villain. I shall never again trust any one. I trusted you, and you have proved false, utterly false." My wife's voice trembled, and I thought she was about to break down and weep, but Bhe Is a proud woman and controlled herself. I went to the office after leaving my wife In a corner doorway where the stream of travel from two streets flowed by. Not long before noon 1 had occasion to leave the office on a matter of business. Having performed my mission, I was returning when 1 heard a familiar voice speaking timidly and hesitatingly in my ear. Turning, I saw my wife looking at me wistfully and wonderlngly. "I beg your pardon," she said. "Are you—Is your name Mr. Carr? Is your home—do you live In Omaha 7' Tenth Round.—Jeffries landed on heart and Tom on stomach. Sharkey landed two on heart.

Two hours ago I called to see Miss Dalton. She met me and declared that it was all over between ua.

She thinks that 1 have deceived her, betrayed her trust In me, and she declares that she will never marry me. Until 1 met you 1 was in despair." t*That was my wife," I interjected. "I was at a dinner in New York about a mouth ago that broke the record for cost," said Mr. M. E. Montrose of The Metropolis in conversation with friends at Chamberlin's. Dinner at f»o a Plate. Eleventh Round.—Jeffries rushed Tom across ring. He landed hard on heart twice. Tom landed on kidneys. Jeffries forced fight. "It doesn't seem possible," he said, "that the man I saw wasn't you. Eyes, nose, mouth, color of hair, cut of beard —everything about the man was an exact duplicate of you. "It was a feast such as old Lucullus or Epicurus never dreamed of, and even In this luxurious epoch few of its kind are seen. It was given by a gentleman who had just reached the thirtieth auni versary of his birth, coincident with which he came into possession of $400, 000 left by a relative who did not want him to have possession of that much cash till he had reached an age where presumably he would be discreet enough to take care of his inheritance. Twelfth Round.—Jim got home on heart. Tom landed twice on body. Jeffries landed two more on heart. Tom got in on jaw. As I say, I had come home from a difficult day's work, and I was not In a very good temper for moods or mysteries. I sank wearily Into a chair. gotten that there was a man in Omaha when something happened to remind me of the fact One night on the way from my office to a car I saw a gentleman advancing from the opposite direction. He was smiling toward me In a friendly fashion and, I thought, seemed mighty glad to see me. His hand was extended, and under the Impression that I might bare met him before I took it We fhook hands warmly, not to say with fervor. But even while we were doing so and while I was searching in the darker recesses of memory for the man's name the expression of pleasure on his face changed, and with rather more doubt than conviction he said, "You're from Omaha, aren't you 7" But be shook bis bead while be was speaking, bis eyes studying my face with great earnestness.

I said to my friend: 'Why, there's Dick Bruce. I wonder what he's doing in Omaha!' Thirteenth Round.—Tom landed on jaw and Jim on stomach. Sharkey got in two more hard ones. I laughed outright. I couldn't help It JEFFRIES. "Have the goodness, Mary," I said, "to cease this abuse and tell me what has happened." ing, and later the boxes filled up to overflowing.A preliminary event of ten rounds at 128 pound* preceded the big event, and "Kid" Goulette of Rochester, who looked a great deal like Jeffries on a small scale, was beaten by Tommy Moran of Brooklyn.Fourteenth Round.—Jim landed on breast and one in wind. They force fight. Jim jabbed heart. "Dick, you wretch!" she exclaimed. "What did you put 021 another coat and come out on the street for—Just to fool me 7" My voice was stern, and I suppose It also sounded sincere, for she looked at me with some bewilderment intermixed with her scorn and wrath. Fifteenth Round.—Tom landed twice on neck and ribs. Jim staggered Sharkey, but was tiring. "No," I said. *1 was In a hurry and did not stop to change my office coat. It didn't occur to me that my own wife would mistake me for the man from "To this dinner he invited 19 guests, the host completing the even score who sat down in the beautifully decorated banquet room. The bill for this entertainment was shown me, and 1 confess that it gaTe me a shock as 1 read the figures—$1,804. But slight figuring will show that this made the cost per plate exceed $00. The gentleman who gave this expensive dinner paid the bill merrily enough, and 1 don't suppose that he thought the price at all excessive. Nobody knows better than he does the tariff on burgundy over 50 years old, which was drunk that night as copiously as though it were beer at 5 cents a bottle." —Washington Post. Sixteenth Round.—Jim landed on heart and jaw. Sharkey put in one on jaw. Jeffries landed two on wind. "Tell you what has happened!" she repeated. "Richard Bruce, are you craxy, or do you think I am a born idlotr Then, after half an hour's delay, Tom Sharkey was seen making his way through the crowds. He was well received, but Jeffries was cheered to the echo. Sharkey had on green trunks, with an American flag for a belt, while the champion wore black. Jeffries had behind him Billy Delaney, Ernest Roeber, Tommy Ityan and his brother. Jack Jeffries. Sharkey was led to the southwest corner by Tom O'Rourke, and was attended by George Dixon, Morris Kelly and Tim McOratli O'Rourke superintending the entire prov»JurCD. George Siler refereed. Jeffries weighed 212 pounds and Sharkey 25 pounds less, but the latter looked to be in better coudition, the Caiifornian being sallow, with staring eyes and other evidences of not the best condition. The betting at the start was 100 to 70 on Jeffries. They shook hands and shaped up well. Jeffries led and then landed several times. He was generally over or under. On the other hand, the sailor was wild, going into the fight with both hands and swinging wildly, but he did not land the hrst blow. Again in the second Sharkey was flopping around, and he came in for a nasty left that rolled him over. It looked then as though Sharkey was clearly out- "WeU, cheer up, my friend," I said. "Whea she sees me and my wife, matters will be set straight with ber.M Seventeenth Round.—Both were tired and hugged. Tom got in two on face. Jeffries landed on stomach twice. Tom hit_Jim twice. "At that moment you—the man, I mean—looked toward me, and I smiled and nodded just as I naturally would, meeting you away from home that way. I was stepping toward you with my hand out when the look on your face made me stop and draw back. You looked squarely at me and cut me dead, never smiled, nodded or anything, just didn't know me. I don't think I ever felt much more cut up in my life. My friend grinned a little and remarked, 'He doesn't seem to know you very well, Hull.' Then he asked, 'Did you know the man with him?' I said no, and he said: "That's the governor of Nebraska. I see him often on the streets of Lincoln.' "Hitherto I have not thought so, but if compelled to answer either of your questions I should feel Inclined to affirm the latter," was my reply, unquestionably an ill advised one. Omaha." And once more 1 laughed aloud at what I was pleased to regard a capital Joke on my wife. I suppose the Joke did not seem quite as funny to her as it did to me, for a suspicion of a pout appeared on her pretty lips, and she said: "I'm glad to be so amusing, Richard. But you don't look a btt more like yourself than the mau that I krw yesterday who wasn't you. 80 how could I know you were yourself?" Eighteenth Round.—Tom landed on jaw. Jim got home on ear and heart. Sharkey pounded ribs and sent in swing on neck. We had been walking along the street as he talked, and I noticed many people turn to look as we passed. Singularly enough, our drees was quite similar, and people doubtless mistook Bible Readings.—Ex. Dent viii, 1-8; laa. lv, 1- 1-4; v, 6t «. 11; vii, 7- 28; John vi, 47-51; xxi, x, 18.

If you have not lost your reason, tell me what I have done." "I think you have," I replied. "At first I thought I had met 70a before, but I can't place yon." "I thought you were Mr. Carr. a friend of mine In Omaha. You look very much like him. But I aee you're not." And he passed on. Some months elapsed, and one noon when 1 was out for luncheon I felt a touch on my shoulder. Turning, I faced a man with gray hair and mustache. He was a stranger to me, but his band was extended for a shake. 1 did not grasp it, and when he looked me full In the face 1 saw the expression of friendly greeting change to one of hesitation and perplexity. He gazed wistfully Into my face and asked: "You're—you're from Omaha, aren't your* "Of course you couldn't my dear," 1 said. "And now, Mary, It is 12 o'clock, and If you don't mind lunching with a husband In his office coat 1 want you to come and lunch with me." The use of peanuts in the preparation of various disbea is increasing. A wafer to be offered at afternoon teas is made by chopping very fine a pint of the shelled nuts and mixing them with three eggs, two tablespoonfnls of milk, a little salt and a cup of sugar creamed with two tablespoonfuls of butter. Flour is added to make a soft dough, which is rolled very thin, cut into strips and baked in a moderate oven. Peanut sandwiches, too, are appetizing and nutritious either for tea or with the salad at luncheon or dinner. Several recipes are followed to make them, a good oue calling for brown bread. This is cut iu thin slices and very lightly buttered, spread with cream cheese and a layer of finely chopped nuts. The slices are then pressed together and cut in circles or oblongs. At the grocer's may be found peanut butter put up in tumblers or small jars that is also intended for use in sandwiches. The compound is manufactured by Beveral different firms, all of which claim great nutritive as well as appetising value for their product.—New York Post. I and not be whom she had seen that afternoon. I explained that I had seen her a moment afterward lying In a faint and recognized her as the lady whom my wife and I had seen on the street two days before. Twenty-second Round.—Both landed hard on mouth and jaw. Jim uppercut twice. Sharkey was groggy. Twenty-third Round.—Jim landed three times hard and uppercut jaw. "Very well. I will, though you know as well what you have done before I tell you as you will after. Yesterday, when we saw that woman on the street, you pretended to me that you didn't know her, that you had never seen her before, and today, when I met you face to face with her and started to speak to you, you turned away, with a laugh, toward the odious creature and utterly ignored me. I was so dumfounded for a moment that I could neither speak nor move, and while I stood there, speechless, you both entered a carriage and were driven away. Now you know what you have done, and if you think your wife Is the kind of woman to overlook It you are Immensely mistaken. Let me pass, please." The pouts disappeared from Mary's lips, for she is foolishly fond of taking luncheon with me down town*- Luncheon over, I walked with her to the corner where she was to take a car for home. She had concluded that ber one brilliant success In finding the man from Omaha was sufficient and she would not try again. Twenty-fourth Round.—Jim landed on stomach and staggered Tom. Sharkey hugged. "Then I wondered if you could be such a contemptible snob as to cut me Just because you happened to be walking with the chief executive of the state. I would have sworn you couldn't if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." Nor need I describe thft merriment we all Indulged in when Mr. Carr and Miss Dalton, agreeably to tbelr promise, came out to see my wife and me that evening. We had a merry time of It Indeed, and when the two ladles saw us together they began to wonder how they could have mistaken one for the other, for it transpired that I was taller by a full inch than Carr and a good 15 pounds heavier. Nevertheless they acknowledged that the likeness was really startling. Twenty-fifth Round.—Jeffries wins. MEN OF MARK. "Well," I said, "the man from Omaha must be a dangerous double. I should like to meet him, for then I could see myself as others see me. I suppose when he saw you he probably thought you were bowing to the governor and so didn't return your bow." "Probably," replied Ilarry. Some months passed, and the man from Omaha was forgotten. Martin H. Glynn of Albany is the youngest member of the Fifty-sixth congress, being only 26 years old. A car not being immediately at hand, we stood on the corner talking.

It was not long after this that my friend Harry Hull returned from a western trip. He had been gone several weeks, and I was very glad to see him and met him warmly. But 1 thought I detected an unwonted frost)ness in his manner. He replied rather coldly to my questions regarding his health and directed most of bis conversation to a mutual friend who chanced to be with me.

My wife and I received an urgent invitation to be present and, overlooking the fact that we had known the contracting parties a matter of some 48 hours only, gladly accepted, and we were as sincere as any one In extending wishes for their future happiness. One evening at the dinner table young Skinner, who takes his meals at the house, but lodges up the street a few doors, remarked with sundry winks in my direction: "Fine looking girl, Bruce, I saw you walking with today.

Sharkey's vicious punches began to tell, and at the close of the seventh it seemed as though Jeffries could hardly walk to his corner, and it seemed certain there would be a new champion. Sharkey's ear was split in the eighth, and it made him mad like a bull. He rushed, swinging lefts and rights and landed nearly all of them, with Jeffries throwing himself over the sailor. The Californian pushed his man over the ropes at every opportunity and iu some of the rounds rested his great head on Sharkey's shoulder, so much that he was hissed and jeered. Jeffries landed a terrific uppercut in the tenth, and Sharkey's eyelid was split, but in the twelfth Sharkey got back with a half dozen left swings aud a straight right, and it was wonderful they did not end the fight. Jeffries hugged the sailor hard and shook his head as he went to his corner.

Friendships that are for the sake of convenience gfratter and die out as a candle, and at best their light is dim and weak.

It shall not occur again." "My father!" she exlaimed. "Certainly not. He is the only man left, since you have deceived pje, In whom I pan place confidence. He is a gentleman and would not lie."

He reeled, and the gong saved him. He came back hard, however, in the next, but Jeffries had the best of it, putting in two right uppercuts, Jeffries' friends howled them»elves hoarse, while Sharkey's urged him with loud cries to go in hard and rough it.
