CORBETT WINS OUT “Terrible Terry” Meets His Fate At the Hands of the Denver Man. tt Was a Clean Knockout and It Came With Right to Jaw in the Eleventh Round. From the Drop of the Hat ‘’Young Corbett" Had the Brooklyn Boy Going. Mechanics Pavilion. San Francisco, April 1. — William Rothwell, better known as "Young Corbett," of Denver. •b<*ved decisively last night that his ■victory over Terry McGovern of Brooklyn at Hartford a year ago last Thanksgiving, was no fluke, by defeating McGovern in the eleventh round after a fight in which there was not a second of idleness for either man In nearly every round Corbett, fighting like a machine, never overlooking an opportunity to send home his blows, had a shade the better of the argument. and finally in the eleventh round he got the Brooklyn boy fairly going he never let up on him until Terry sank to the floor, a badly defeated man Corbett put McGovern down In the first round for a count of seven and repeated it in the second There was some question as to wheth-i er or no McGovern was down at the count of ten and for a few minutes it looked as if there would be a free-for all fight. McGovern tried to get up. tried hard, and was on his feet an in stant after the timekeeper counted him out. George Harding, the club timekeeper, who counted McGovern out. stated after the fight that the blows that knocked McGovern out ■were left and right swings on the jaw and a right uppercut on the chin Harding said McGovern was in a dazed condition: that wu®n ho had counted nine he motioned him to get up but McGovern was too confused to notice end was unable to rise. At the count of ten McGovern Started to rise, but it was too late, and th- referee award ed the fight to ' Young Corbett." Harding said McGovern was completely out and that it was well for him he was unable to get up Corbett was strong and ready and had McGovern risen to his feet he would have been probably seriously hurt.

MA CHAPTER VHI. THE TBOLBLi: IN BILLISGSOATE WaRD A-— t ROUT n week after Brandons memorable interview with I---- M:„-y an incident occurred MKS which changed everything and canrn very near terminating his career in the flower of youth. It also brought about a situation of affairs that showed the difference in the quality of these two persons thrown so marvelously together from their far distant stations at each end of the ladder of fortune in away that reflecte very little credit upon the one from the’ upper end. But before I tell you of that 1 will relate briefly one or two other matters that had a bearing upon what was done and the motives promptTo begin with. Brandon had kept himself entirely away from the princess ever since the afternoon at the king's antechamber. The first day or so she sighed, but thought little of his absence: then she wept and. as usual, began to grow piqued and irritable. What was left of her judgment told her it was better for them to remain > apart, but her longing to see Brandon grew stronger as the prospect of it grew- less, and she became angry that It could not be gratified. Jane was right: an unsatisfied desire with Mary was torture. Even her sense of the great distance lietween them liad begun to fade, ami when siie so wished for him and he did not come their positions seemed to be reversed. At the end of the third day she sent for him to come to her rooms, but he by a mighty effort sent back a brief note saying tbnt lie could not and ought not to go. This, of course, threw Mary into a. great passion, for she judged him by herself, a very common but dangerous method of judgment, and thought that If he felt at all as she did be would throw prudence to the winds and come to her. as she knew she would go to I him if she could. It did not occur to her that Brandon know himself well enough to be sure he would never go to Now Spain if he allowed another grain of temptation to fall into the balance against him. but would remain in ; London to love hopelessly, to try to win a hopeless cause and end it all by placing bis head upon the block. It required al! his strength even now to hold fast bis determination to go to New Spain. He had reached his limit. Ho liad a fund of that most use- ; ful of all wisdom, knowledge of self, and knew Ills limitations, a little matter concerning which nine men out of ten go all their lives in blissless ignorance. Mary, who was no more given to self , analysis tian her pet linnet, did not , appreciate Brandon's potent reasons and w a in a flaming passion when she r<s"iv<sl liis answer. Huge and humiliation completely smothered for the time her a&eetiou, and she said to herself over ami over again: "I hate the ‘ lowborn wretch. Oh. to think what 1 Live permitted!" It seemed only too j clear that she had been too quick to give, no very comforting thought to a proud girl even though a mistaken one. As the days went by and Brandon did not come her anger cooled as usual, ' and again her heart began to ache, but ■ her sense of injury grew stronger day by day ami she thought she was be--1 yond a doubt the most ill used of women. The negotiations for Mary's marriage with old Louis Nil. of France were l>eginning to Is- an o]>en secret about the court. The Due de Dmgueville, who had been held by Henry for some time as a sort of hostage from the French king, had o|wned negotiations by inflaming the flickering passions of old Louis with descriptions of Mary’s beauty. As there was a prosjieet of a new emperor soon and as the imperial bee had of late been making a most vehement buzzing in Henry's bonnet, he encouraged he Longuevilleand thought it would be a good time to purchase the help of Frame nt the cost of his beautiful sister ami a handsome dower. 1 I Mary of course had not lieeii consulted, arid although she had coaxed her brother out of other marriage projects Henry bud gone about thia as if be were iu earnest, and it wn* thought throughout the court that Mary's coaxings would lie nil in vain—a fear which - she herself had begun to share, nott withstanding her usual self confidence. She hated the thought of the mar- • riage and dreaded it as she would death itself, though site said nothing to any I one but Jane ami was bolding her I fori-os In reserve for a grand attack. , She was preparing the way by being verj' sweet and kind to Henry. I Now. nil of this, coming upon the heels „f h ( . r trouble with Brandon, made her most wretched indeed. For the first time in her life *he began to feel s offering that great brondener. in > fact maker, of human character. 1 Above all. there was an alarming , to'tise of uix-crtalnty In everything. She , oiuld hnnlly bring herself' to believe > that Brandon wvuld really go to New , Spain mid that »lw would actually | IM . P t him. although she did not want him a* ! Jet that is. as a prospective husband. I ■ ishea „f a || of wlld M ,. helnps bad begun to slusit through her auger and grief when she stared in the face the prospect of her double separation from hbn. her marriage to another and

the countless miles of fathomless sea that would be between them. Shecoold endure anything better than unce r . tainty. A menacing future is the keenest of all tortures for any of us to bear, but especially for a girl, like Mary’ Death itself is not so terrible as th,, fear of it. Now, about this time there lived over in Billingsgate Ward, the worst part of Ixindon, a Jewish soothsayer named Grouche. He was also an astrologer and bad of late grown into great fame as prophet of the future—a fortune teller. His fame rested on several remarkable predictions which had been fultilled to the letter, and I really think the man bad some wonderful powers. They said he was half Jew, half gyp. sy. and. if there is alchemy In the mixing of blood, that combination should surely produce something peculiar. The city folk were said to have visited him in great numbers, and. notwithstanding the priests and bishops all condemned him ns an imp of Satan and a follower of witchcraft, many tine peo pie. Including some court ladies, continued to go there by stealth In order to take a dangerous, inquisitive peep into the future. Mary bad long wanted to see this Grouche. at first out of mere curiosity, but Henry, who was very moral—with other people's consciences—would not think of permitting it. Two ladies. La dy Chesterfield and Lady Ormond, troth good and virtuous women, bad I een iL tected in such a visit and had been disgraced and expelled from court iu the most cruel manner by order of the king himself. Now. added to Mary’s old time desire to see Grouche. came a longing to know the outcome of the present momentous complication of affairs that touched her so closely. She could not wait for Time to unfold himself and drop bis budget of events ns lie traveled, but she must plunge ahead of him and know beforehand tinstores of the fates, an intrusion they usually resent. I need not tell you that was Mary’s only object in going, nor that her heart was as pure as a babe’s, quite as chaste and almost as innocent. It is equally true that the large proportion of persons who visited Grouche made bis soothsaying au ex i euse. The thought of how wretched life would l e with Louis bad put into Mary’s mind the thought of how sweet it would be with Brandon. 'Then came the wish that Brandon bad been a prince or even a great English noble uian. and then leaped up. all rainbow hued, the hope that he might yet. by reason of his own great virtues, rise to all of these and she become bis wife. But at the threshold of this fair castle came knocking the thought that perhaps he did not care for her and had deceived her to gain her favors Then she flushed with i.tiger and swore to herself she bated him and hoped never to see his face again. And the castle faded and was wafted away to the c ‘alms of airy nothingness. Ab, how pt'ople will sometimes lie to themselves, and sensible people at that So Mary wanted to see Grouche, first through curiosity, in itsvir a stronger motive than we give it credit for. sec oud. to learn if she would be able to dissuade Henry from the French mar riage and perhaps catch a hint how to do it. and last, lint by no means least, to discover the state of Brandous heart toward her. By this time the last named motive was strong enough to draw her any whither, although she would not in • knowledge it. even to herself, and in truth hardly know it. so full are we of things we know not of. So she determined to go to see Grom he secretly and was coniidei she could arrange the visit in such away that it would never be discovered. One morning I met Jane, who t"l'l me with troubled face that slie and Mary were going Io London to some purchases, would lodge at Bridewell House and go over to Billimr 1 gate that evening to consult Grom l"‘ Mary had taken the whim Into li<t willful head, and Jane could not dissuade her. The court was all at Greenwich, and nobody at Bridewell, so Mary though' they could disguise themselves n* orange girls und easily make the trip without anj’ one being the w iser It was then, as now, no safe matter for even a man to go unattended through the best parts of London af' ,,r dark, to say nothing of Billingsgate that neat of water rats and cutthroat* But Mary did not realize the full ger of the trip and would, as usual. « low iiolhnlv to tell her.
