Acting it was. and it was well acted. He seemed to-have become a thing of steel, as hard and pitiless as steel. The effect was apparent on Cannam, who redoubled his caution. Glendon quickly worked him into a corner and herded and held him there. Still he struck no blow nor attempted to strike, and the suspense on Canuam's part grew painful. In vain he tried to work out of the corner, while he could not summon resolution to rush upon his opponent in an attempt to gain the respite of a clinch. Then it came—a swift series of simple feints that were muscle flashes. Cannam was dazzled. So was the audience. No two of the onlookers could agree afterward as to what t6bk place. Cannam ducked one feint and at the same time threw up his face guard to meet another feint for his jaw. He also attempted to change i»ositiou with his legs. Ringside witnesses swore that they saw Glendon start the blow from his right hip and leap forward like a tiger to add the weight of his body to it. Be that as it may. the blow caught Cannam on the point of the chin at the moment of his shift of position. And, like Hanford, he was unconscious in the air before he struck the ropes aiyl fell through on the heads of the reporters. Os what happened afterward that night in the Golden Gate arena columns in the newspapers were unable adequately to describe. The police kept the ring clear, bub they could not save the arena. It was not a riot; it was an orgy. Not a seat was left standing. All over the great hall by main strength, crowding and jostling to lay hands on the beams and boards, the crowd uprooted and overturned. Prizefighters sought protection of the police. But there were not enough police to escort them out. and fighter’s, managers and promoters were beaten and battered. Jim Hanford alone was spared. His jaw, prodigiously swollen, earned him Jhis mercy. Outside, when finally driven from (he building, the crowd fell upon a new $7,000 motorcar belonging to a well known fight promoter and reduced it to scrap iron and kindling wood. Glendon, unable to dress amid the wreckage of dressing rooms, gained his automobile, still in his ring costume and wrapped in a bath robe, but failed to escape. By weight of numbers the crowd eaught and held his machine. The police were too busy to rescue him, and In the end a compromise was effected whereby the car was permitted to proceed at a walk, escorted by 5,000 cheering madmen. It was midnight when this storm swept past Union square and down upon the St. Francis. Cries for a speech went up. and. though at the hotel entrance, Glendon.was good naturedly restrained from escaping. He even tried leaping out upon the heads of the enthusiasts, but his feet never touched the pavement. On 1 1/ wlil-sWill The Car Was Permitted to Proceed. heads and shoulders, clutched at and uplifted by every hand that could touch his body, he went back through the air to the machine. Then he gave his speech, and Maud Glendon, looking down from an upper window at her young Hercules towering on the seat of the automobile, knew, as she always knew, that he meant it when he repeated that he had fought his last fight and retired from the ring forever.

A Tale of the Vanishing People By REX BEACH Copyright by Rex Beach

UP from the valley below came the throb of war drums, the faint rattle of shots and the distant cries of painted horsemen charging. From my hard won vantage on the ridge I had an unobstructed view of the encampment, a great circle of tepees and tents three miles in circumference, cradled in a sag of the timberless hills. Five thousand Sioux were here in all their martial splendor, painted and decked and trapped for war, living anew their tales of might and repeating in mimicry their greatest battles. Five days the feasting had continued. Five mornings had I been awakened at dawn to see a thousand ochered, feathered horsemen pour out of tin gullies upon the camp, thqir horse# rearing and plunging, their rifles snapping and spitting, while the valley rocked to their battlecries and to the answering clamor of the army which met them. The odors of a savage people had begun to pall on me. the sound of a strange language had begun to annoy me, and I longed for another white man or a word in my own tongue. Next to my tent was another one which had been erected during my absence, and through the flap was thrust the head of my friend, the government doctor. “Gee. I’m glad to see you!” I said as I shook his hand. “I’m as lonesome as a deaf mute at a song recital.” “What’s the matter? Won’t the Indians talk to you?” “1 guess they would if they, could, but they can’t. Out of these 5.00 C Sioux 1 haven’t found one who can understand a word 1 say, and I’ve tried some 4,980 of them.” The old gentleman laughed. “Your government schools have gone back in the betting with me, doc. You must keep your graduates under lock and key.” “They can all speak English if they want to—that is, the younger ones can. Some few of the old people are too proud to try, but the others can talk as well as we can until they forget.” “Do you mean to say these aborigines have been fooling me? I don’t believe it,” said 1. “There is oue that can’t talk English, and I’ll make a bet on it.” I indicated a passing brave with an eagle feather headdress reaching far down bis naked legs. He was a magnificent animal—young, lithe and as tall ans as a sapling—and was de<Med from head to teet in his gorgeous panoply. “I’ve ried him twice, and he simply doesn’t mderstand.” My friend called to the warrior: “Hey. Tom! Come here a minute.” The Indian came, and the doctor continued: “When do you hold the horse races, Thomas?’ “Tomorrow, 4 o’clock, unless it rains,” said the fellow. “Are you going to ride?” “No. My race horse is sick.” As the ocher daubed figure vanished into the dusk the old man turned to me, saying: “Yale.” “What?” “Yale; B. A. He’s a graduate.” “Impossible!” I declared. “Why. 1 could hardly understand him. He talks like a foreigner or as if he was just learning the language.” •‘Exactly. That halting unfamiliarity with English marks the death and decay of his learning. In three years more he’ll be an Indian again through and through. Oh, the reservation is full of fellows like that.” The doctor continued, with a sigh: “It’s a melancholy acknowledgment to make, but our work seems to count for nearly nothing. It’s their blood. “I’ve heard a graduating class read theses from a platform, sing cantatas in chorus and deliver orations. Then I have seen those same young fellows three months later squatting in tepees, grunting in their native tongues and eating with their fingers. “Sonft years ago I felt I was well on my way to success, for I found a youth who offered every promise of great manhood. 1 studied him until I knew his every trait and his every strength. He did not seem to have any weakness. I raised him under my own supervision into a tall, straight fellow as handsome as figured bronze and with a mind far in advance of his people and his years. He had the best blood of the nation in him, being the son of a war chief, and they called him Thomas Running Elk. He was educated at the agency school under me, and he went through his college course like a stag at the head of a great herd, a silent, dignified, shadowy figure, unapproachable and mysterious to his fellow students. In all things he excelled, but he was best perhaps in athletics, the credit for which I also took, feeling a godlike satisfaction in my work. “News came to me of his victories on track and field and gridiron, for his professors kept me posted, being likewise interested in my experiment, but as for him he never wrote. It was not his nature, nor did he communicate with his people. “It was in my protege’s senior year that the great thing entered his life, the thing I had craftily built upon fr.om the start and had well nigh despaired of. The girl entered, but instead of Running Elk being drawn to the woman, as I had planned, the woman went to him. “You’ve heard of old Henry Harman? Yes, the railroad king. It was his daughter Alicia. “In order to understand the story you’ll have to know something about oldHenry and believe in_heredity,.as

I ~307 He Is a seli Tiitule man. Tie came into the middle west as a poor boy and by force of his indomitable pluck, ability and doggedness became a captain of industry. He is the same now as when he was a section boss, and his daughter Alicia is another Henry Harman feminized. Her mother was a pampered child of Fifth avenue, born to money and a slave to her own whims, and Alicia grew up more effectively spoiled than her mother, combining the traits of both parents. “Well, when I got a panicky letter from one of Running Elk’s professors, coupling her name vaguely with that of my Indian, 1 wavered in my determination to see* this experiment out. But the mind of the analyst is unsentimental, and one who sets out to untangle the skein of the gods must pay the price, so I waited. “As if fate had really taken a part In the affair, I found a long distance ?all from old Henry Harman when 1 returned to my hotel. lie had win'd me here at the agency and. finding 1 was in Washington, had called me from New York. He didn't tell me much over the phone, except that he must see me at once, and as my work was finished I took the train in the morning, going straight to his office. “ ‘Doc. I’m in an awful hole,’ he declared, ‘and you're the only man who can pull me out. It’s about Alicia and that savage of yours.’ “‘I know something about it,’ said I, ‘and I feel rather to blame, for it was 1 who sent him to college.’ “ ‘I won’t be defied by my own flesh and blood! I won’t! I won’t! I’m the master of my own family! Why, the thing’s so absurd it’s almost unbelievable, and yet it’s terrible—terrible! Heavens! What would her mother say if she were alive?’ “‘Have you talked with Alicia?’ “‘Not with her, to her. She’s like a mule. Yes. sir, just like a mule. 1 never saw such a will in a woman. I—l’ve fought her until I’m as weak as a cat. 1 don’t know where she got her temper!’ He collapsed feebly, and I had to smile, for there’s only one thing strong and stubborn enough to overcome a Harman’s resistance, and that is a Harman’s desire. “‘What does she say?’ My interest in the affair was increasing. “ ‘Nothing, except to agree that I'm right in the abstract and then to inform me that the abstract problems go to pieces ©nee in awhile. She says this—this Galloping Moose, this yelping ghost dancer of yours, is the only rteal man she ever met.’ “ ‘What does he have to say?’ “‘Humph!’ grunted Harman. ’All he does is to listen.’ “ ‘How old is Alicia ?’ “ ‘Nineteen. Oh. I’ve hurled that at her, too, but she says she’ll wait! You know she has her own money from her mother.’ ” ‘Does Running Elk come to your house?’ “At this my old friend roared so fiercely that I hastened to say: ‘l’ll see him at once. I have more influence than anybody else with him.’ “ ‘I hope you can show him how impossible, how criminal it is to ruin my girl’s life. Yes, and mine too. Suppose the yellow papers got hold of this thing!’ Harman shuddered. ‘Doe, 1 love that girl so well I’d kill her with my own hands rather than face her disgrace and see her ridiculed. “ ‘She could marry a duke if one happened to come along, and I’d buy her one, too, if she wanted him, but I won’t stand for this dirty, low browed Injun.’ “ ‘He’s not dirty,’ I declared, ‘and he’s not as low browed as some degenerate foreigner you’d be glad to pick out for her.’ “ ‘Well, he’s an Injun,’ retorted Harman. ‘an’ It’ll come out on him. We’ve both seen ’em tried. They all drop back where they started from. You know that as well as I do.’ “ ‘I don’t know it,’ said I, thinking of my experiment, which had gone so badly askew, ‘but we’ve got to put a stop to this affair in one way or another. I’ll see the young man right away.’ “ ‘Tomorrow is Thanksgiving,’ said Henry. ‘Wait over and go up wlth'us and see the Yale-Princeton football game. 1 understand Running Elk plays fullback. We’ll pick you up at your hotel in the morning and drive up in the car. It’s the big game of the year, and you’ll enjoy it. I don’t expect to, however.’ “You have seen similar games, so there is no need of my describing this one, even if I could. As it was my first experience it impressed me, greatly. When the teams appeared 1 recognized Running Elk at a distance, as did the hordes of madmen behind us, and I began to understand what the old man in the seat next mine was combating. (To be continued—) INDIGESTION OVERCOME Overcome by Simple Remedy. Hurried and careless habits of eating, irregular meals and foods that do not harmonize, tend to weaken the digestive organs and result in different forms of stomach trouble. If you are one of the unfortunates who have drifted into this condition, eat simple foods only, slowly, regularly and take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ga.» says: “I suffered from a stomach trouble, was tired, worn out and nervous. A friend advised me to take Vinol. My stomach trouble soon disappeared and now I eat heartily and have a perfect digestion and I wish every tired, weak woman could have Vinol, for I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good.” The recovery of Mrs. Smith was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods’ livers —aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained in Vinol. We will return the purchase money every time Vinol fails to benefit. Quality Drug Store, Syracuse
