Robert had taken the stool in the corner nearest to his friends. He turned his head, saw them, and sm . Prunella was nearly as white-faced as he, biting at her underllp and looking nlraid. Her nerves were jumping.

Daniel was cnaiing Robert's limbs, giving him water to rinse out his inoutn—and talking again.

"'l‘i'iey're nearly ready, Remember TOm Shelton and the way he stop- ped the Nonpareil. This is your first ngnt that matters, Bob, but it looks good for me."

"Seconds out, - Time." A bell rang loudly.

Rooert sprang from his stool as his seconds swung 1t away and drop- ped to the iloor and moved to meet his op onent. The glare of the ans above iis head blinded him. Slavin was a. big man, tall and wide of shoulder.

They broke and got away, then Slavin came in hitting low.

hert's feet were like lead. He was slow, stupid. If only the atmos- phere would clear and let him see his man. A flying glove caught him on the chin and a. white flash seared his brain. What was the matter with him? 1r only the crowd would stop shouting._ Suddenly he saw Daniel crouching below the r.ng, with his chin resting almost on the floor. Daniel was makm signs to him to push Slavin away. is Rob- ert did and at that moment the film of smoke seemed to roll aways. S.avin took definite shape in h proper proportions, not a giant but an ordinary big man. And with n b and a jab one two, as Slavin came in grinning. Robert stopped him short.

The next moment Robert was crowding Slavin on the ropes and Just as he was preparing to deal out mischief, the bell rang and the round was over.

Robert dropped on to his stool and grinned stupidly at Daniel. Shelton grinned back. '1'he boxers eyes were not filmed over now. Daniel nodded bnghtiy. “Beginning to like it?"

"i haven't begun yet, Daniel," ans- wered Robert as he spread his arms wide and filled his lungs with air driven b flapping toweis.

Then e was up on his feet and fighting.

The ieft was going nicely now. Robert could see the target he had to hit. Derlsive cheers were changed into a roar of surprise.
