Not all the h ss of the Exam- iner can keep him at the bottom of the bay, and he is seriously thinking of ask- ing police interference to prevent the yel. low journal from placing him there.

But th He is a too deep’y concerned in his pots and pans to feel the pangs of unrequited love. If he has ever | felt the uneasiness that sometimes is said to affiict love-sick swains he has attribu- | ted it to biliousness. As he told hls story yesterday he appeared to be a matter of fact young fellow, who has found his struggle in life difficult enough to prevent | him from being too particular in his oc- cupations. He says that he has been a prize fighter, a foot racer, a ball player and a cook, but it was not until the Ex- aminer interfered in his affairs that he became absolutely a dead one.

But he says it is an aw- ful shock to bump against stern reality | again and remember the jolts in the prize- ring and the smoke and heat of the oven. He would give what he has left, he says, to know the particular brand used in the Examiner office. | He declares, in passing, that it was un- | kind for the vellow sheet to refer to his | local acquaintance with a select circle, is he intends never to enter the ring again. It is in the love episode that he takes | most, interest, as it is practically an un- | known field to him. He assures the friends that he has left that his is not | a “strange tale,” nor has he a ‘“fatal | passion.” He read it in the yellow sheet, but it was not his dope.
