This is a strange Rene De Vos's career.

De Vos, the middleweight cham- pion of Europe, who has defeated nave Shade. George Courtney. Cowboy Willis and Babe MeGreg- my since coming to this country in f|liCi$L of the undisputed middle- weight championship, faces K. O. Phil Kaplan tomorrow night. and when he stalks out to the middle of the ring you, who see him. will know that your eyes are resting on a lad, utterly unafraid. And I'll toll you why:

when the war broke out, Germ- any pounced on Belgium and made her citizens virtually prisoners of war. A Belgian lad, Francois Stey- uert by name, fourteen years old, was commissioned by the German officers in Belgium to carry mes- aluzcs through the wire entangle- ments to Holland when there was occasion to communicate with the outside world.

Alaision boy they called him. His

of the little fox.

He had no lovc for the Germans. Under Teuton rule, his heart was with the Allies. He got the German messages through the electrified barbed wire entang- lements but only because it was a German command. When he pass- ed through the barriers separating Belgium from Holland, the juice Wm shut off to allow the little fox to pass through unharmed. He knew thc key of the mesh and when he appeared, the sentry look- ed over his list, asked for the pass word and the fox slipped through to fulfill his German commands. He delivered these messages to a little tobacco store in Holland. and German secret service men did the rest.

But there canle a slip up. Strangely enough, when important plans for bombardments and at- tacks were sent through by the lit- tle fox, the Allies seemed to learn about it. ,

He always disappeared for ten oi’ fifteen minutes. Then the reason for the leak. He had a friend who could decipher German code messages. De Vos always saw to it that this friend got the mes- es before they were carried into Holland. ' The friend carefully cop- ied them on the thlnest sort of tis- sue, placed the duplicate in a little steel capsule, stuffed it down the throat of a homing pigeon and the Allies got all the information that the little fox was carrying to Ger- man ofllcials. it meant the life of a homing pigeon each time but it was big time information.

Every time the Germans sent out their plans, the Allies were there to block them and then it dawned on the German oflicers that some- body was tipping off theilnlnner- most secrets. But who? There were a dozen who might well be suspect- ed. The Germans had no illusions about the loyalty of Belgium sub- jects. They'd eliminate all the possible leaks until they got their man. Suspicion settled about the little fox. He was entrusted with another message. His friend got it as per schedule.

It read somewhat like this. "This boy is under suspicion. His mes- sages have been going wrong. He has been told that the juice will be shut off. It will be on when he goes through. If he is innocent he will approach the barbedwlre without suspicion. If he balks, than we know llc has been reading the code." .

The little fox, of course. couldn't read it, but his friend could. He saw the danger. "You're not going through the entanglement, Fran- cois," he said.

“Certainlyfl said the little fox.

"It's death, they're double cross- lng you, They've told you that the electricity will be turned off for your ten-minute trip through. It will be on and you will be killed on the spot."

He replied:

"Can't help means death. the wire."

His friend pleaded for him to bolt into hiding. He wouldn't lis- tcn to it. He would see the thing through. It was the firing squad or death by an electric shot, so after all, there wasn't much choice and the brave front was the better gamble.

SIRES OF WINNERS

by W. H. Gocher.

The uniformity with which the leading sires are being credited with winners each year shows that the breed of light harness horses has been established on a firm foundation and that the breeders are using the families which nre improving at each remove. In 1927 Peter V010 led with seventy win- ners. He was followed by Belwin with sixty-six, Guy Axworthy uvith forty-three, and San Francisco with forty. Their representatives also included the leading racing material on both the mile and half- mile tracks.

This year at the close of the Lexington meeting the first week in October Peter Volo again stood at the top of the list with sixty- five winners, Guy Axworthy, hts associate in the stud at Walnut Hull Farm, being in second place with fifty-four anti Belwin third with fifty-oils.

Peter Volo 1's now in his seven- teenth year. He was retired to the stud at the close of his fourth year when he trotted in 2.02. For o. time there was an active demand for his services even when he was over- shadowed by his sire at Patchen

lwilkes Farm. Then there was a

lull followed by a transfer to Wal- nut Hall Farm. This change did not ilnprovc matters until Peter‘ Maltby appeared in 1925. Since that time he has been leading the
