But this night the stake was bigger. "Hello, Mr. Stoddard." Mr. For-sythe's For-sythe's words were stamped indelibly indel-ibly in Jeff's mind. "Helene's told me of you. I don't like the business you're in, but my daughter and you are in love, she says, so the business busi-ness doesn't matter. But what does matter is, what sort of a life can you offer her?" Jeff felt the warm blood rise to his face and ears as it had done that night at his blurted, idiotic, "She won't starve."

Jeff tried a long left and landed,, land-ed,, lightly. They came together and Jeff, felt a jar on his chin, another and yet another. Stinging blows they were, delivered with amazing speed and with deception. The boy had something. They exchanged blows and again that short, jolting left found Jeff's face. He'd have to do something about that. Jefl turned to hi corner at the bell. A trickle of blood flowed from the cor ner of his mouth and over his chin. "You gotta do something about that left, Jeff," whispered Jerry. "He'll claw you to ribbons." Jeff, stepped forward briskly at the bell for round two. He boxed, he slugged, but that tearing left kept reaching his face. Something warm streamed "down his cheek. Jeff realized his eye was cut He brushed the eye with his right glove and gave ground slowly, drawing Yancey toward him. Jeff's right dropped into position at his chest, he feinted with his left and there was the opening he sought His right fist shot out, the weight of his powerful shoulders driving it home. It landed and at the impact Jefl felt a searing pain shoot up his arm to the shoulder. For a fraction of a second he felt dizzy and then a nauseous nau-seous feeling hit toe middle of his stomach. His eyes cleared and he saw Yancey getting off the floor. The punch must have landed high, thought Jeff. His only hope now was a quick left hook. He stepped forward, for-ward, ignoring the pain in his right hand, feinted for an opening, saw il and punched. He missed. His last chance gone. The belL He sank heavily on the stool.

"Keep quiet" said Jeff, and as the bell rang for round three he rose to meet Yancey. - Earlier that evening, at the For-sythe For-sythe home, Helene faced her father fa-ther across the dinner table.

He laid his hand on Jeffs shoulder. "That was a magnificent stand you made out there.
