The mnn sillh the gamecock, who has
been winning all colors of money from

at last come to grief, nnd so has his
wonderful gamecock. It Is a sad, pad
slorj', for the gamecock sslll never fight
again, and his master still never ngaln
rake In tho shekels from his opponents'
Jackpots.
Every time this proud owner of the
wonderful gamecock heard of u man
who owned a fast gamecock and
thought he could whip uny other game
cock In the country lie sought out this

nnd every time tho mnn with
tho wonderful gamecock won the

could not win. Sn the man with the
wonderful gumecock waxed fat In the
pit nnd his monej' bigs grew In weight
and he beenmo posltlsely defiant. Ho
thought that his bird stas the only bird
thnt eser roosted high.
One day one of the men ssho had lost
much money nnd sshnko birds had been
whipped esery time they stent ngnlnst
tho wonderful gamecock, went Into the
mountains nnd thero ran Into a nest
of eagles. lie captured one of tile young
eagles nnd took It home stlth him. He
raised the wild bird nnd fed lt on the
