R. ! jeers and hisses fell upon Cardiff's as long as John. Findlay can keep on his logs. Look out—he's coming." With a deceptively swift sidestep Wil- son was far to one side. 'Twice more the big woodsman lung- ed at his shadowy foe, freeing blows that fairly landed would have dropped any mat'on earth, each time missing the loosely hung figure by a few scant inches and wrenching his muscles from the very violence of the unstopped swings. • And as the last attempt hit but unresisting air. a • sharp yelp of derision arose from somewhere in the crowd, and under that wordless taunt the rage of the attacking one grew into the unreasoning fury of a bull who closes his eyes and charges blind- ly. Head held low and right .fist drawn back for a far-reaching swing that would reach this elusive enemy of his who would not fight but ever retreated crab -like' as he advanced, Cardiff rushed. Then the unexpected happened. Like the , snap of a whip the loose- jointed figure grew rigid and instead of a backward leap there was a swift step forward and a hard fist at the end of a stiffened arm met the on - comer in the middle of his rush, the whole weight of a heavy body back of it. And Cardiff, stopped in his tracks as though he had run against a .wall, wheeled and dropped in a heap. From the audience there arosea yell of ap- plause, sharp and explosive, followed by a silence that was only broken by the ringing voice of Findlay as he ut- tered tersesentences of encourage- ment. Stepping to the far side of the ring Stoddard stood at rest again as his enemy, dazed and bleeding staggered to his feet. Then he ••cau- tiously advanced. Befudglled • of brain by the terrific jar of the blow and the fumes of the whisky, and having learned a great lesson at great cost, the giant's reck- lessness vanished and wariness took its place. Instead of .rushing blindly he began to spar at arm's length, only quickly to learn that at this; the real science of the game, he was absolutely' at his opponent's mercy: For Wilson, working with baffling ease about him, With lightning feints and puzzling sidesteps stung him with snapping left hand blows that dazed and blind- ed him, until rage at his impotence once.more overcame Mtn and he again leaped forward. And the other, .at- tempting to spring aside, slipped up- on the greasy under side of a strip of bark and went down upon his hands and knees. The next instant Cardiff's boot landing terrifically against his ribs bowled him fiat .upon his ° back where he lay gasping for breath and with a sharp pain : stabbing him through the body like the thrust of a sword. And at that act of cowardice° nervous con ition with headaches, back- ache, irritability and depression -- and soon more serious ailments develop. It is at such periods in.life that Lydia E. Pinkham'e Vegetable Compound will restore a. normal healthy condition, as it did to Mrs. Worthline. human question 'mark. And it's all because you are so infernally myster- ious about it. Time come .for you to tell yet?" I • Stoddard painfullyturned himself over until he faced the speaker and began. Slowly but unsparingly ° he went over his life from its beginning to the hour of the fight, omtting only the incident of the intende transfer- ring of his fortune, while t e listener with his pipe held dead and smoke - 1 less between his lips listened like a 1 man carved from wood. But when the narrator had finished and turned up- ,on his back again the wooden man be- came flesh and blood once more. "Boy," said he ' gravely, "I have listened to your eyery word and tried to give each act you related its proper ' •significances ,as you went along. I think I understand you. I have no ' criticism to make of your life except those things that arose directly from the drink curse. But that vice you have conquered and I know you have manhood -enough to remain a teetotaler to the last day of your life. As far as numbers and hurled himself. upon the giant had :not the latter realized that the anger of the crowd was upon him and walked sullenly to the opposite side of the 'ring. For half •a dozen seconds Stoddard lay:; gasping, and then with the sharpness of . the pain gone and a Throbbing ache in its place he got upon his feet. Desperate though he was, he was deadly calm now. He had to be, for the quickness had been kicked but of him and: sudden movements caused him almost unendurable pain. He could no longer evade his foe, nor on the other hand could he compete with him in brute strength. Superior skill alone was iD his favor. Yet what he was to do he must do quickly and with all his remaining strength, trusting to luck to its being decisive. As Cardiff came forward to meet hint Wilson noted the position of his arms, decided upon his course and took it instantly. Fairly within reach of the ,other's right arm he placed himself as he courted a 'blow' that should it land would leave him senseless upon *the ground; saw the great fist leap for- ward, and slipping his head to one side threw his left leg back of his foe's heels and his left arm across his throat. It was the deadly "back heel" of the olden time prize ring, and properly executed no man could with- stand it. With his leg for the trip and his arm for the backward throw he launched his full strength, and Cardiff's feet flying up and hia head, flying down he landed with a crash upon his back, the full weight of Stoddard's body coming down upon him. A sharp explosion of breath came 'from the:, under man's lips and hedid not move as the other regained his feet. For ten seconds—twenty—a full half minute he lay motionless and pale, then slowly struggled to arise. Silently three of his friends raised him and carried him within the saloon,' bewildered and ;shaken to the marrow of his bones; while the remainder of the crowd urged forward by that fierce instinct that makes man and brute pay homage to the victor of bloody battles surged around ,the conquerer as they smote him upon the back with wild shoutings. Through the mob Findlay led him, bent forward some- what at the hips and suffering acutely, to the quiet of the nearest cheap hostelry, R. No. 1. " Orders left at The Huron Expositor Office, Seaforth, promptly at" - tended. head, and Findlay raging like a lion in the grasp of half a dozen men would have beaten. third off despite tkeir CHAPTER XXI One of Stoddard's ribs was broken, but outside of considerable pain and stiffness to be endured for a few weeks there was nothing to be dread- ed. Findlay sat beside him that night while a physician did' all that could be done, and after the departure of the medicine man he still remained in his chair by the bedside as he puffed at his pipe. "Hurt you to talk?" he inquired after fifteen minutes of sil- ence. , The one in the bed replied that it did not provided_ he talked slowly and between breaths. So Findlay got down to business. "I had been over to the house of a friend of mine—Ex-judge - Collins— "for an evening's visit and was coming home when I saw the crowd and knew there was a fight on. I asked some- body who were swapping licks and was told that it was Cardiff and you. .Well, I was surprised. Thought you ined At ken, the had gone for good and had ima you were a thousand miles away first I thought he must be mist then I got a peep of you again my respect for and confidence in you are concerned, neither has altered one whit `since I saw you last. And, here, is my hand on that. But now that your mind is free again and your future_ at your disposal, I want to know' what brought you back so soon to these- woods. Now you answer that," "One reason is this. As I told you once before 1 have grown to like them and have an idea I would like to be a successful lumberman. The busi- ness offers as good opportunities and, as many rewards as any other, and it ietthe only- occupation that I have even partly mastered. Now if I could only find a partner whom I could trust, a wise old head to advise and teach me, I would buy up _ that big tract of pine over on the Moose and start in on a liberal scale next fall. 'Hake you got such a party in mind?" "There's Kelly," suggested the other thoughtfully. "First rate business man, square, all kinds of. experience —made a fortune oiit of the business and got busted• playing the board of trade. But he has quit speculating and is attending strictly to his knit- ting—making money too. but a little cramped for capital. He might let you in." "How about yourself, Mr. Findlay," interjected Wilson with a quiet smile. «Hest:, "How about yourself ? I think we could pull together. The gray head of the elder man sank slowly into his palms and by the night lamp the patient saw two big tears roll from under them down the tanned Cheeks. • The next instant, however, Findlay had. whisked them p lin e t aside. impatiently asl • "We°wontttap$ak about that.to-night boy -there will be pletny of time when you are convalescing to talk matters over. Take my word for it when I say I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your confidence and offer.. And. I'll not deny that at first thought it tempts me sorely, for I've been in the harness so long as a job- ber and owner that it is a bitter pill to think of going back to work by the day as I did thirty years ago. But beyond all other reasons, I want to get into business and make money a- gain for my daughter's sake." "Which leads up to the strongest reason I had for returning in such haste. I love Barbara and I want to ask her to marry me, With your con- sent, I am going to do so." For the second time that night the gray head was bowed, and through a hundred tickings of the clock both men were lost in thought. Findlay arose. "I guess I'll let you and her fight that out between yourselves. 'Fraid to get mixed up in it: Sleepy ?" "Not in the least." "Then take this. The medicine man said you ought to have sleep and told me to give it to you when I' left. I'll tell Barbara in the morning that you are here. Send word if you need me during the night." He closed the door quietly and was gone, his foot- falls echoing faintly down the bare hall. The early forenoon sunlight peeping into the injured man's room • saw him bolstered up in bed with a litter of - empty breabfast dishes on the table beside him. The physician had gone a few moments before with a smile up- on his face at the havoc that the in- valid had wrought, upon .the morning meal. A light knOck sounded on the pine panel and Wilson bade the visit$r enter. light` and knew that his talk was the straight goods. I bucked and kicked my way through, for after the way Cardiff left you and Barbara for the fire to et up I didn't know but he might do you some dirt and I wanted to be there to rub his nose in it in case he did. Also, I wanted to see him licked to a frazzle, and if he had got the better of you he'd had to whale me in the same ring. You just wait until the news of how he cut out from. Archer without telling anyone that he had got wind of the fire gets around and see what happens to him! They'll ride him out of the country on a rail sure as taxes unless he gets wise and beats them out. I told Meyer about it the other day, and what do 'you suppose the old skinflint did? Took down his shotgun and told Cardiff if he ever showed his nose around the place again he'll. fill him full of birdshot. That's the reas- on .Cardiff got on a drunk—because he lost his job. Old Meyer surprised me. I didn't suppose he had a human instinct in him. *Say, what brought you back so soon? More bad luck?" "No. As great , good fortune as fate ever showed a. man. The trouble I spoke to you about is all oyer and I am a free -man again." "Free!" Findlay removed kis pipe The door opened and Barbara stood before him pale but clear of complex- ion, the ineffable tenderness of • her woman's heart mirrored in her softly sympathetic eyes, and in the sweet- ness of the smile about her lips. Slowly she advanced, sinking upbn the chair by the bedside at his no- tion. He took her 'Band and for a long minute they looked into each others' faces with no word spoken. "Bar- bara," he whispered at last. "Yes," she answered very lo'v. "I. have come back to ,tell you.."' "And I have come to listen. But my ears hear little."' "Has your father told you why I went away as I did?" "He told me some things. Tliey were sufficient, I do .riot ask for more." "But did he tell you why I had re- turned ?" "Yes. To go into business." "Nothing more?" "Nothing more." "Then listen and hear the rest. Come closer: please -loud talking hurts my Iside," He drew her towards him un- til het ear was at his lips which whispered into it. And as the whis- perings grew and grew, slowly herr form relaxed until her face was buried 'upon his shoulder, one white forearm stealing softly around his neck. And it was thus that John Findlay entering live minutes later, found them. The End. 2.5i% BEER_' the Beerof # Fe Bailot_- is not Intoxacating Adetermination as to whether or not a'particular beer is intoxicating can be reached only by a proper understanding and analysis of the manner in which the alcohol in such beer affects the human organism. Beer containing 2.51% alcohol by weight has been proven non -intoxicating by actual experiments, scientific tests, thorough research. - Fourteen specially qualified experts, testifying before the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals, were unanimous ih agreeing that beer containing even as • high as 2.75% alcohol by weight (or .24;X, stronger than the beer of the Referen- dum Ballot) was non -intoxicating. These experts were Professors of Chemistry, Toxicology, Therapeutics, Nerve Specialists, Physical Training Instructors, Medical Doctors sad specialists in charge of city depsftments where alcoholics were -cared for. Experiments were conducted upon twenty-four ren cho=en from various walks of life—medical students, laborers, mechanics, busin ss executives, clerk s is banks and 'brokers'. o 'ces, ;artists, writers and professional men. The experiments proved c nclusively that beer of 2.75% alcoholic content strength could not possibly be intoxicating—not the slightest signs of intoxication were shown by any of the subjects. .In view of,the sworn statements of these ex- perts, zperts, based Upon the results of their experi- ment,;, to it beer containing 2.75% alcohol by wei ;'ret is non -intoxicating, it must follow that 2.51% beer, ,the Beer of the Ballot, is non- intoxicating.1 It is the st:°ong conviction of the Citizens' Liberty League that—es no harmful results can possibly come from drinking 2.51% beer —then there is no fair of just reason why the general sale of beer of this• quality should not be permitted, Unite with the Citizens' Liberty League is its earnest, sincere endeavor to obtain iasii- erate Temperance Legislation.
