N failing to appear at the New York Athletic Club, Sam Mossberg, metropolitan amateur 135-pound champion, lost whatever chance he might have had to accompany the Olympic boxing team to Antwerp. The New York boy,+ who has been fighting in wonderful form during the recent National tryouts, was slated to box Ben Ponteau, the dusky lightweight from the St. Chris- topher Club, the winner to be chosen as the second man in the 135-pound class, Frank Cassidy having won the final bout the night previous, But he did not make an appearance at the club house, neither did he 4nform the A.

HE guards now ted the girl through a series of corridors and apartments to a narrow stone stairway which led to the floor above, finally stopping be- fore a emall door where stood a naked negro armed with a spear, At a word from one of her guards the negro opened the door and the party passed into a low-celled apartment, the win- dows of which immediately caught the girl's attention through the fact that they were heavily barred, The room ‘was furnished elmilarly ta those that ehe had seen tn other parts of the ‘building; the sume carved tables and benches, the rugs upon the floor, the decorations upon the walls, although in every respect it was simpler than anything she had seen on the floor be- low. In one corner was a low couch covered with a rug similar to those on ‘the Noor except that it was of a lighter texture, and upon this sat a woman, , As Bertha Kircher’s eyes alighted upon the occupant of the room the girl gave a little gasp vf astonish- ment, for recognized Immediately that here was a creature more nearly ot her own kind than ahy she had ween within the city’s walls. An old woman it was who looked at her through faded blue eyes, sunken decp in a wrinkled and toothless face, But the eyes were those of a sane and {1- telligent creature, and the wrinkled face was the face of a white woman, At sight of the girl the woman rose and came’ forward, her gait so feeble and unsteady that she was forced to support herself with a long staff which she grasped in both her hands. One of the guards spoke a few words to her and then the men turned and left the apartment. The girl stood just within the door waiting In s lJenod for what might next befall her. The old woman crossed the room and stopped before her, raising her weak and watery eyes to the fresh young fac# of the noweomer. Then she ecanned her from head to foot and once again the old eyes returned to the girl's face. Bertha Kircher on her part was not less frank in her survey of the little ola woman. It was the latter who spoke first. In a thin, cracked voice she spoke, henitatingly, falteringly, as though she were using unfamiliar words and speaking a strange tongue. “You are from the outer world?” she asked in English, “God grant that you may epeak and understand this tongue.” “English?” the girl exclaimed. “Yes, of course, I speak English.’ “Thank God!" cried the little old woman, ‘1 did not know whether I myself might speak it #o that another could understand, For sixty years L have spoken only their accursed gib- berish. For sixty years I have not heard @ word in my native language. Poor creature! Poor creature!" she mumbled. “What accursed misfor- tuné threw you into their hands?” “You are an English woman?" asked Bertha Kircher. “Did I under- stand you aright that you are an English woman and have been here for sixty years?” The old woman nodded her head affirmatively. “For sixty years I have never been outside of this pal- ace. Come," she said, stretching forth a bony hand, “{ am very old and cannot stand long, Come and sit with me on my couch.” The girl took the proffered hand and assisted the old lady back to the opposite side of the room and when she was seated the girl sat down be- side her. “Poor child! enila:” Poor moaned the old woman. “Far better to have died than to them bring you here, At first | might have de- stroyed myself but there was always the hope that some one would come who would take me away, but none ever comes. ‘Tell me how they got you.” Very briefly the girl narrated the principal incidents which led up to her capture by some of the creatures | of the city “Who are they,” asked Bertha Kircher, “what kind of people?
