I stationed myself In a saloon from where I could command, a view of .hit 1' hotel..and there 1 wulteO. . I was beginning be-ginning to Uiink he must have evaded me, when suddenly coming fortt alone from the hotel I saw my man. ,-. lie was walking swiftly and he took a path that skirted the swamp behind the town. ' I had no doubt of his mission. mis-sion. My heart began to beat, with excitement, I followed breathlessly. There were few cabins hereabouts; It was a lonely plat to be so near to town, very quiet and thickly screened from sight "Suddenly e seemedto disappear... and fearing, my pursuit .was going to be futile, I rushed tor-ward. tor-ward. I came to dead stop. There was no onetobeeen; llerhadvunlshed completely,- Blindly 1 blundered for ' ward. Then t came to a place where 'the trail forked, ranting for breath I hesitated which way to take, and it was In that moment of hesitation that a heavy hand was laid on my shoulder. "Whfite awuy. my young friend?" It was Locasto. Ills face wa9 Mephls-topliclian, Mephls-topliclian, his voice edged with irony.L. 1,. was.. startled. I admit, but I tried to put a good f ice on it "Hello," 1 said; ."I'm Just taking a stroll" , Ills black eyes pierced me, his black brows met savrr: 'y. The heavy Jnw shot forward. u:it for a moment the man, menacing und terrible, seemed to. tower above me. , "You lie!" like explosive steam came Iho words, and woif'llke his lips parted, showing his powerful teeth. Ton lie!" he reiterated, "lou followed fol-lowed me. Didn't I see you from the hotel I Didn't I determine to decoy you away. You would try to cross me, wouli you? You would champion damsels In distress? You pretty fool, you idmpletoiv you meddler" Suddenly, without warning, he struck me square on the face, a blinding, blind-ing, staggering blow that brought me to my.kuecs as falls a pole-axed stc-er. I-was stunned, swaying weakly,' trying vainly to get on my feet. Then he "struck me agalnTa b!tler7felllng trtow: I was-completely at his mercy now and he showed me none. He was like a fiend, Kage seemed to rend him. Time and again be kicked me, brutal-; ly, relentlessly, on the ribs, on the chest, on the head. Was the man going go-ing to do me to death? I shielded my head. I moaned in agony. Would he nerer -stop? Then -I became unconscious, uncon-scious, knowing that he was still kicking kick-ing me, and wondering If I would ever open my eyes again.: .

As we walked along, Jim did most of the talking In his favorite morality ;veln. The Jum-wagon puffed sltently , at his briar pipe, while I, very listless .and downhearted, thought! largely of ; my own troubles. Then, In the middle j of the block, where most of the music j halls were slto.atedrauddenIy .we met Locasto. j. . , - - I had thought'.much over this meet-J,lng, meet-J,lng, Rnd.had dreaded it There are things which no, man can overlook, and, if it meant "death to me, I must 'againtry conclusions with the brute. " He was accompanied by a little t bald-headed Jew named Spltzsteln, and ; wewere aliiiost abreast of them when I stepped forward and arrested them. rMy4eetltwere - - clenchedTI wos"alt ! a-qulver with passion ; my.Jheart beat violently. . v j' He was dressed in that miner's cos-Iturae cos-Iturae In which he alwars looked so fjstriklngr iIts-Tnouthwai"grlraast ji granite, and his black eyes hard and repellent as those of a toad.

Once more before I could guard he landed on, me with that terrible rightv arm swing, atfd down I went as if a Sledge" liammer" had struck me. But instantly I was on my feet, a thing of blind passion, of desperate fight 1 1 made one rush to throw myself on 'this human tower of brawn and muscle, mus-cle, when some one pinioned me from 'behind. It was Jim. , - "Easy, boy," he was saying; "you .'can't fight this-big fallow." ' Spltzsteln was looking on curiously. (There was a breathless pause, then. wagon intervened. -- Tbe smoldering fife in his eye had .brightened into a fierce joy ; his twitch-jlng twitch-jlng mouth was now grim and stern as a prison door. For days he bad been "fighting a dim Intangible foe. Here at last was something human and definite. He advanced to Locasto. "Why don't you strike some one nearer your own size?" he demanded. "You're a brute, a cowardly brute." Black Jack's face grew dark and terrible. His eyes glinted sparks of fire. ' - - "See here, Englishman," he said, "this isn't your scrap. What are you butting In cbout?" ; , "It Isn't," said the Jam-wagon, and ,1 could see the flame of fight brighten Joyously In him. "It isn't but 111 soon akelt minel" T Quick as a flash he dealt the other a blow on the cheek, an open-handed blow that stung a like a whiplash. "Now, fight me, you coward There and then Loeast seemed about to spring on his challenger. With hands clenched and teeth bared, he half bent as If for a charge. Then, suddenly, lie straightened up. "All right," he said softly; "Spitz-stein, "Spitz-stein, can we have the opera house?" "Yes, 1 guess so. We can clear away the benches." "Then "tell the crowd to come along ; we'll give them a free show." '. I think there must .have, been five hundred men around that ring. A big . Australiun. pugilist. was umpire. . iSi'me. one suggested gloves, but Locasto would not hear of It "No," he said, "I want to mark the son of a dog so his mother will never know him again." , He had become frankly brutal, and prepared for the fray exultantly. Both men fought in their underclothing. .Strlrei Jo.WTU.the . Jam-wagon was seen to be much the smaller man, not only in height, but in breadth and weight - Yet he was a beautiful figure L of a fighter, clean, well-poised, free-limbed, free-limbed, with a body ' that seemed to taper from the shoulders down. ' Locasto looked almost too massive. His muscles bulged out The veins In his forearms were cordlike. His great . chest seemed ns broad as n door. His legs were statuesque In their size and strength. In that camp of strong men probably he wns the most powerful. And nowhere in the world could a -fight imTe been awaited -with greater zest These men, miners, gamblers, -adventurersof all kludav- pushed aud, struggled for a place., A great J"y surged through them at the thought of the approaching combat Keen-eyed, Keen-eyed, hard-breathing, a-tbritl with' ex-pectatlon. ex-pectatlon. tlw crowd packed closer and closer.
