It, haven't you?" we asked, and he
nodded disconsolately as he climbed
aboard a homebound car. He must
have felt a premonition as he
mourned, for it is unlike Mr. Travers
to regret his losses and when he ar

evening's conversation covered topics
wholly foreign to prize fights. At Ihe
breakfast table next morning Mr.
Travers had no taste for anything the
morning paper might have to say, and
Mrs. Travers gained possession of it
without the usual contest. Glancing
through the paper rapidly Mrs. Tra
