The Western Wonder has been beating everything in his home section from a feather to a heavy; and clippings (fake) are exhibited, telling how he knocked out the hardest men of the West in this or that town, and on certain dates. The Colonel, who privately is m backer of the Wesiern Wonder, is bringing him on for a match with the Eastern Pug. The Baltimore folk don't know anything about the Westerner, and even if they did they would be blinded by prejudice in favor of their local man, Nnow— The Colonel doesn't want to appear in the open as backing the Westerner, as it would shorten the odds, The Colonel has commissioned the Busini Man to place his bets for him at the ringside. But the Business Man needs stance, for the thing must be done quickly. Will Mr. Bates pl much possible? The Business Man will supply the money and, in addition, give Mr, Bates a percentage of what he handles. This looks pretty good to Mr. Bates, He is not asked to risk a cent of his own, He is asked only to perform a friendly office for a good fellow—and be paid for doing it.. He promptly agrees, determining at the same time to be there with a roll in his own behalf, The Business Man and My. Bates go to Baltimore and meet the Colonel and the Westerner, who are quartered in a private car backed into a siding. ‘There is much elegance, champagne, bag-punching, bag-bursting, &c. The bout is to be private, and word as to the clubhouse where it is to come off is passed around to the faithful. The Business Man gives Mr. Bates $10,000 tn cash to het on the Westerner at the ringside. The Colonel carelessly remarks that he has $100,000 to bet if he can find takers. Mr, Bates, after the proper @pur by the Business Man, draws out from the bank as much as he can stand, nd everything is ready for the frameup. ® The clubhouse is carefuly staged, Well-dressed men are in the ringside seats, most of them waving huge bunches of bills and calling out their chotce, 8 Cetin Savon ar t ers who had held him at bay for days, fighting over every inch of his retreat and exacting frightful toll before he had finally been brought down with « riffle bullet.
