"An" the little girls you're talkin' about where are they? D'yuh nteaa them two queens arer there with the Goldilocks, hair? Little gi ' like so much say, they're grand ladies, hiu'kol I'm tellin' ynh, see, and I'm watt-limight call a connysoor of feminine puicreetood, I am ! I know class when I iee it." Jim, gritting his teeth, notified him that be would show him some class that he knew nothing about and jumped the fence. But in less .than fen seconds, Jim Elwell realized perfectly ' that he was up against a proposition that bad toughness Spelled all over it. Tlings weren't running true to prescribed form. The fellow was only a shade larger than himself a matter of only a few pounds but something was wrong. It occurred to Jim that when M lashed out with his fist he should cave connected somewhere. But he didn't. His little playmate merely 'ducked andin the language of commercialized fighting socked him in the eye. Tim was going1' to get tossed around a bit, lie knew that,. and right' bef ore his adntirerv too. For this "bum" he had tackled handled bin fists in a way- that. Jim, pretty handy with his, own, had never seen befwe. And the stranger's wallops seemed to explode when they landed., Within a minute Jim s right eye closed and a red stream was pouring from his nose. But he bored hi, Jiutrt-ano quitter and he waaJ mad clear through. A swift uppercut that came all tlie way up from the hip caught Jim Elwell on the point of. the Jaw and spun him around twice.' But he wasn't .through yet He was still on his feet, he told himself, and Then something happened. His ouff seeing eye caught the flash of a bright object. He hear a dull smack like wood striking bone and the face In front of him, the face that was grinning and dancing iiboutr 'dropped from his line-- of vision. He looked down. His mist-- t touched gaze took in the form of his late adversary "stretched out still on . the ground. As he stared in astonishment at what he saw, glance stopped on the" bright object 'that he had glimpsed as it flashed through d the air. It was croquet ball. He looked up and around and across the fence, Rusty and Betty stood there, their hands gripping the top board, their lips parted and their eyes wide-- In a fascinated stare: And then,' all of a sudden, the truth hit Jim with a jolt mat made him gasp. . It was not for nothing, he reflect- ed.1 that he had trained those kid pals of his In the way he thought kid pabTVbould-go- . It was just s well that he had taught them how to throw a baseball. Rusty, especially, cojiiQ nave made a big leaguer look serious when she put it across mi ' I - I s It was all clear to Jim now. Ob- vionsly the two had observed how the! trend of battle was going against them. So Rusty had jnnireHl into action with a croquet ball She had contributed something of her owa to the battle. A gasping .grunt came from the the vanground again quished stranger struggling to a sit ting position. In one hand he held the croquet ball.. Slowly his head lifted and he looked at Jim. Then his gaze shifted to the "girls, on" the other side of the fence. The expression in his eyes was still a little uncertain and he befuddled but . his mouth began to spread 1n a grin, and with that ease of action that murks, the trained athlete he rose to his feet and held out his hand. "I know when I'm licked," hejsaid and he spoke with a little (Jra,wl that carried a. tonch of tlie south. 'I apologize, to the er little girls an' yourself. You put up a good scrap an' I like a game fighter any place I fiud him. Lcniuie introduce myself. Here's my Tallin' card." He reached into an inner pocket and drew out an envelope. "Look at the name ou that," he said. "It's niuie." Jim accepted .the envelope and read: "Battling Kid McCarthy, Champion . of Mis Heavyweight good-nature- d J" souri"1 . Elwell glancing up, remarked that he had heurd quite a lot about the "Battling Kid". "They tell me Jim's-rollin- lr . Owens Realty Co. M tJse4GafsCheaiWhv'W Batteries 1 ...... ...... . .1. ap.
