UMBER 17 would hrve flipped through the small Wyo- ming town with- out as much as & toot had it not been for the water tank at the farther side. As the train’ groaned to a stop & man slid from behind the tender and made his fur- tive way back to- ward the town. He Jooked fagged and hungry. His clothes had a slept-in ap- pearance, a five- day stubble dark- ened his lean face. His shifty - eyes spotted Tom's res- taurant and he made a shambling bee-line toward it. Three loungers in front of the Palace saloon ex- ohanged significant glances as the stranger emerged from the restaurant with a haste which bespoke none too gentle persuasion. Interestedly they watched him try his luck at the Chink’s; gleefully they chuckled as he instantly reappeared. One of the onlookers was Kid Haw- ley, the acknowledged bad boy of the small Wyoming town, the local pug, Ppromoter of boxing matches in which he always carried off the laurels. In short, the leader of the tough ele- ment. His companions were his loyal henchmen. As the tramp stood uncertainly on the sidewalk and gazed with hopeless eyes along the row of one-story build- ings Kid Hawley uttered a command from behind a drooping cigarette. Immediately a rat-faced youth sepa- rated himself from the group and| leisurely approached the stranger. “Howdy,” he said affably. The hobo started. “Howdy.” “Lissen, fella, kin you fight?” “Naw,” backing off in alarm, “I ean't fight.” “Kin you fight fer 50 bucks?” * Xk ¥ X 'A HUNGRY glint lighted the tramp’s eyes. “There ain't' nothin’ I wouldn’t do fer 50 bucks.” The rat-faced boy nodded. “Come “Howdy,” he " he invited, “while yer eatin’ a coupla meals I'll give ya my proposi- tion.” Twenty minutes later the new ar- rival, somewhat bolstered by food and many cups of strong coffee, was tri- umphantly ushered into the barnlike structure known as Kid Hawley’s ing of rancor in their tones.

Frank Sta- ples’ expression re- sembled that of the cat which had shed a sickly light over the town's prominent citizens and tough element alike. about. In opposite corners of the ring they placed stools and buckets of water. * x % said affably. BE'I'I‘ING became spirited after Frank Staples ended an argument with the rat-faced youth by brazenly placing $10 on Battling Benny. The white-collar - boys followed Frank’s lead; the tough element rubbed their hands and jubilantly spat. Odds were 10 to 1 in favor of Kid. Then a cheer arose. Kid Hawley, attired in a dirty bathrobe, entered the ring. He raised a hand to salute and sat on his stool. Another figure slid like a shadow to the opposite stool. His trunks were grotesquely large. He wore no robe. His eyes were no longer shifty. At the bell the combatants approached the center of the ring. Frank Staples moistened his dry lips. Quick steps. Short jabs with mit- tened hands. Kid took it easy. His expression said, “Give ’‘em their money’s worth.” Benny's activities seemed to be in the interest of self- protection. Suddenly a surprised murmur broke the silence. An easy jab of the Kid’s fist had failed to connect with the stranger's chin. Comical unbelief crossed Kid's face. | He moved more quickly. His power- ful hand shot for Benny's body. The blow glanced off. With the sounding of the gong a babble of voices arose. With the gong for the third round Kid Hawley and Battling Benny met in Kid's corner. Benny had been in & hurry. For 10 seconds the fight re- mained there, then it was over. Kid Hawley sagged inertly over the rope beside his stool. Happily he was un- gymnasium. Kid extended a hard hand. “Ben Johns,” his eyes shifting un- easily. “Battling Benny,” Kid shouted. He slapped Benny on the back with such | force that lhe embryo battler almost bit the du<t “Okay,” said Kid; “let's get going.” Followed two weeks of intensive | training for Benny. Followed also| three square meals a day and a bed in which to rest his aching bones. He said little, strove with awkward diligence to master the gentle nrt| of boxing. He seemed content. For | the sum of $50, also for the enter- ! tainment of the small Wyoming, town, he was to be knocked into temporary oblivion. After which he was free to be on his way to the tune of jingling coins in his pockets. Ben- ny was blissfully content. * x X X POSTERS appeared in the saloon | windows, the Racket store, in Tom's cafe and the Chink’s. They depicted two scantily clad men in| pugilistic attitudes. Black type made | known the fact that a boxing bout | o] would be held in Kid Hawley’s gym on Friday night at 8 o'clock. The contestants were Kid Hawley, cham- pion, and Battling Benny, feather- weight whirlwind of Denver. Price, $1. | Frank Staples, bank cashier and | despued by Kid Hawley’s gang for his | “white collar” tendencies, stood be- fore one of the posters with some of his friends, the postmaster, Judge Allen and young Dr. Frisbee. Their | remarks were not complimentary to’ Kid Hawley. How many times had they paid $1 to see him knock out a hungry tramp? But there was noth- aware that the two bustling boys dropped him to a cot in the back room. THE white- cullared boy.s collected, the tough gang sullenly paid. This satisfactorily accomplished, Frank and Judge Allen and young Doc Pris- | me hurried away to Benny's dressing room. Benny was resplendent, his shirt freshly laundered, his bright | blue tie dazzlingly new. His eyes | were no longer shifty. The rat-faced youth reverently held the coat of Benny's pressed and ‘spotless suit. Frank mede the introductions. “Meet my friend, John Bennison,” he said with bursting pride, “the best fighter and squarest guy west of the Mississippi.” With the magic name the rat-faced boy gulped, his eyes bulged. “When I hunted him up in Salt Lake City,” Frank con- tinued, “and told him our grievance he agreed to bum his wny into town and take Hawley on.” As Frank took & roll of bills from his pocket the rat-faced boy faded from the room. Hanging over Kid Hawley's cot he waited until one eye painfully pened “What happened?” muttered the Kid through swollen lips. His erstwhile henchman told him. He ended with, “And it serves ya | damn right, ya big bloke.” Then he made a dash for the night train. When his friends had seen John Bennison safely aboard his sleeper and been left to gloat over the eve- ning’s clean-up, moral as well as financial, the rat-faced youth lay contentedly behind the tender. He had attached himself to & new hero. (Copyright, 1936,) RINGLING MUSEUM LEFT TO FLORIDA | BY the Assoclatea Press. BARASOTA, Fla, December 14— The will of John Ringling, filed for probate, left his spacious home md, the Ringling Museum of Art to the State of Florida. The circus magnate, who died re- eently in New York, stipulated the res- idence should become a museum of Venetian art and be a part of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art—the name of wl'uch must remain unchanged. Should the State fail to accept the gift, valued as high as $20,000,000 and including many recognized art treas- ures, it would become the property of Sarasota. ‘The will gave $1 to Mrs. Emily Haag Ringling, his divorced wife. One-half of the estate, other than Ringling Circus Corp. stock, the value of which was not known here, went to Rlnsllnlo sister, Mrs. Ida R. North. ‘The remainder was bequeathed to John and Henry North, nephews, and Randolph Wadsworth, Cincinnati, husband of Salome North, a niece, to be held by them in trust to “pay over the net annual income therefrom in quarterly or other convenient pay- ments to the representatives of the st-u Clean False Teeth New, Magic Way No Brushing—Yet Polished Like New in 5 to 15 Minutes!
