Each realized that\nthere were to be no preliminaries In\nthia  fight, and no quarter,\n$nd suddenly Tommy lunged out\nwith his fist. He had put all, his\nfotfee behind it and it caught Darien\non* the jaw. He reeled under U and\nToinmy drew back for a second\nblow, but before he could deliver it\nDarien   had   plunged   at   him.\nThere were no words in the mysterious and silent old garden, nothing\nbut the short, uneven breathing of\ntwb active, angry men, Bhort grunts,\nthe thud of clenched fists upon flesh\nand the grate of sliding feet upon\ngravel  and  Bod.\nAfter a very few moment^ Tommy\nrealized that this was to be no easy\ntask. Darien was fully hla equal In\nstrength   and    training.\n\u2022\u2022I'll let him hit me till he gets\ntired out,\" he told himself. Hie time\nwould   come   then.\nBut it seemed to him that Darien\ngrew fresher moment by moment.\nAhd try as he would he was tiring.\nNdw and again he reeled under a\nbldw. Blood was dripping from a\nplace on his cheek-bone and drops of\nit slid slowly into his mouth as he\ngasped for breath. The salty taste of\nit   was   sickening-\n\"Keep your head! Keep your\nheid!\" he cautioned himself dumbly,1\nh\\\\{ his brain did not respond as\nqutckly as it had been doing. His\nfeet seemed a long distance from\nhim and the ground tilted.\niVas he going to fall? If he fell\nhe Would be at Jack Darien's mercy!\nEm must not fall. The entire struggle\nn6*f resolved itself merely into an\nattempt to keep his feet!\nOne or two blows he managed to\nget home to Darien, but moBt of them\nwent wild and he realized that his\ncontrol  was  going.\nHe began to bore home upon Darien with the desperation born of\nstark fear. They came to grips, it\ncepsed to be a battle of blows.\nLofcked In each other's arms they\nstruggled like wild beasts toward the\ntaut flesh  of the throat!\nDarien's hand found his throat\nfirst. It was a cruel hand and lt\nclosed. He struggled back from\nihe death-grip, tore himself madly\nfroVn lt. Reeled as he fell away free.\nClosed his eyes for an instant to\nclear them of the darkness that\nstrangulation  had brought to them.\nAad lu UuU instfint felt a crashing\nsensation go through him. From\nsomewhere way back In the caverns\nof his soul a small voice pried to\nhim. \"Tou have lost Judy!\" and\nthen there was darkness!\nAfter a while he came back painfully to a strange, flickering place.\nWhere was he? He put up a sore,\naching arm, touched his head. His\nhead' was wet, cold.\n*1Damn\/you!\" Tommy cried. \"Tou\nmay have licked me but that doesn't make you any better than I am.\nWe've fought over a girl. It happens\nto be the girl I'm engaged to. Tou\nhad no right to fight over her. Tou're\nnothing but a man gone mad with\nmoney. I know because I'm the same\nsort. But we had\u2014we had\u2014\u2014\" he\npaused uncertainly, put his hand to\nhis head as though to brush away a\nmist, \"we had no business to drag\nJudy into this! We're both curs!\nHounds!\"\nDarien's voice cool, clear. \"Gentlemen do not bring ladles' names Into\ndiscussions. This was merely a discussion about a painting!\"\nTommy staggered away toward the\ngate.\nHe rallied hia sqattered thoughts.\nShe was ln his debt! Hadn't she said\nthat a debt was the most binding\nthing in the world to her? And he\nhad put her in his debt! He had\ngiven her mother the exhibition she\nwanted! Judy couldn't send him\naway! He had only to let her know\nabout the exhibition!\nHe stopped suddenly in the middle\nof the pavement as though an abyss\nhad opened before him. What was\nthis thing he was planning to do?\nWhy, he couldn't do that! He must\nbe mad! He must make the greatest\neffort of his life to keep Judy from\never knowing that he had had anything to do with the exhibition. How\nhad he come to dream of doing anything   else?\nHe wished, with a childish yearning, that he could go to Judy with\na clean, clear, eager young soul and\nsay: \"Judy, I love you! I always will!\nLook into my eyes! Tou will see\ntruth  there!\"\nHe wasn't worthy of her! He never\nwould be! He couldn't bring her anything untarnished! No man was good\nenough for her who couldn't lay\nillusions and young love at her\nfeet! He felt suddenly old and tired.\nHe   got   Into   the   cab.\nWould he release her? How could\nhe bear to do it? Perhaps, after a\nwhile, when he had been away from\nher in the war he would find courage to write her and say, \"Judy, you\nare free!\" Let things go along as\nthey were for Just a little while longer! He couldn't lose her yet! He\nwouldn't!\n.(To Pe Coettnu\u00a7d.)\nTRAIL, B.C., Dec. 28.\u2014With 32\nrinks entered, Trail curlers opened\nplay on the President's competition,\nthe first \"knockout\" competition of\nthe season, today when 12 rinks were\neliminated in the first round, and\nautomatically became eligible to enter for the subsequent \"knockout\"\ncompetition,  the Patrons.\nFollowing are the match results of\nthe  first round.\nLavama beat J.

Wiey\nare called the bacteriophage.\nDr. D, Heralle ls the discoverer of\nthese organisms, and in his latest\nbook he tells us something about their\nbehavior ln the body.\nHe makes the statement that the\nbeneficial action of the bacteriophage\ncan be lessened if conditions in the\nIntestine of the patient are not as\nthey ahould be. In other words, If\nthere is sluggishness of intestine with\nconstipation, then the bacteriophage\nls thereby weakened and cannot attack the ailment with full force.\nHe juts the mattef In very simple\nform by showing that one of five\nthings ls going to happen when a\nserious ailment attacks the body.\nFirst, If all conditions ln the body\nare favorable, the bacteriophage attacks these organisms and they never\nget a chance to multiply or to manufacture these poisonous products. The\npatient ls thus not ill and knows\nnothing about the ailment that attacked him.\nSecond, if the Invading organisms\nget off to a good start because they\nare unusually strong or in great numbers and the bacteriophage Is late in\nattacking, there are a few mild symptoms but the patient is better and\nthe ailment doesn't get a real hold.\nThird, If the delay in attacking ls\nstill longer, the ailment takes some\nhold, the patient goes downhill for a\nlittle while, but his bacteriophage\ngradually overcomes the organisms\nand he recovers. Fouith, If his bacteriophage Is low to begin with, and\nis slow ln building Itself up to fight\ntbe Invading organisms, then there\nwill be ups and downs in the patient's\ncondition, leaving Hu outcome of the\nfight ln doubt.\nFifth, when the bacteriophage never\nreally puts up any fight, the Invading\nAfter Cancer Cure\n\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0\u2022}:\nWS\n[*]\nl9 P.

Selling ordera\napparently were for both the long and\nshort accounts and spread over a\nrather broad list, final quotations disclosing a long list of declines ranging\nfrom 1 to nearly 7 points.\nSpeculative disappointment over the\nfailure of the Allied .Chemical directors to make a more liberal dividend\ndistribution, and the declaration of\nonly the regular dividend on American\nCan was the chief influence behind the\nreaction.\nAllied Chemical, which touched the\nrecord high of 148% a week ago Monday, and closed last night at 141%,\nwas hammered down to 184-%, closing\nslightly ahove that level. The increase in the annual dividend rate\nfrom $4 to $6 was not very cheering\nto those who had looked for a big\nsplit up with the maintenance of the\n$4 dividend on the new stock.\nWeakness of American Smelting and\nthe Pan-American Issues which have\nlarge Interests in Mexico, was tca.ee-\nable to disquieting rumors from that\ncountry.\nRecessions of 1 to S points took\nplace ln United States Steel common\nand Baldwin and other  Industrials.\nCall money again held steady at r,u\nper cent all day, although banks called\nabout $20,006,01)0 m loans to strengthen their reserves.\nTime money rates were unchanged.\nTotal  sales\u20141,996,600   shares.\n.

Considerable other work\nhas been carried out, while financially the city is in a\nsplendid position.\nFor 1927 I am in favor of undertaking a definite\nprogram of permanent street construction, of either\ncement or asphalt.\nI am also in favor of constructing a city warehouse, and of laying new water mains in connection\nwith the permanent street program.\nI believe that a bylaw should be submitted to the\npeople to provide for the proposed new arena.\nIn general, my policy is to support economical and\nbusinesslike methods and at the same time to carry\nout the progressive and constructive developments\nwhich are necessary to the continued progress of\nNelson.\nJ.
