"Well, however hard he liits trie, he can't lick me!" "All right, tough guy," Pat said, as the bell'rang, "get out in front!" , Groggily, but with renewed courage now that he had Pat with him as well as Mike, Danny stepped forward to meet 'his enemy, evaded a terrific left intended to "put him out for good and nil, and changed over from defence to attack. ■But most of his punches were aimed at Delancy's face and chest, and Pat yelled : "Not there, Danny—below!" "Don't get excited!" Mike rebuked. "This isn't a fire." retorted Pat, turn iijg to scowl. "It's a fight!" Danny had heard, and he obeyed his brother's behest. Guarding his own face ttnd body better than he bad done before, he aimed all his blows lower, achieved a solar plexus punch thai' sent Delancy temporarily against the ropes, and, after a clinch broken by the referee, pot in a thump to the heart that sent the champion down on his knees. - That round went distinctly in Danny's favour, and the crowd roared. But Danny was glad of tbe stool and of his brother's attentions. " iSo I was gonna kiss the canvas, eh?" he said, breathing heavily. "Shut up!" snapped Pat.

BOY'S CINEMA breath and listen! He's as open as the hunting season! Play him low down- play the body!" A towel was vigorously applied. "D'you get it? D'you hear me?" "Yeah," muttered Danny. "I hear you." "Well, listen, Danny, this is the round! End it this round! See? You can't expect a dame to think you're a hero for ever!" Danny had closed his eyes, but be opened them very widely at that state- ment. "What dame?" he asked blankly. "Lucille." "Oh, no, not me I" He shook his aching head. He was not going to be taken in by that sort, of talk. But Pat was in dead earnest, and time was short. "Look, look, look, Danny," be said urgently. "I've stepped out! D'you get it? D'you understand, or do I have to slug you, too?" Danny was convinced in spite of him- self. "Oh, Pat " The hell went, and he got to his feet. "Remember what I told you," ex- horted Pat. "Down below!" Danny almost* heaved himself forward towards the' advancing champion, and there was a strange light in his blood- shot eyes. "Down below, Danny!" vociferated Mike. "In the kitchen, Danny!" yelled Pat. "In the kitchen !" Danny sparred, smote, and received a whack in the ribs that would.have sent him reeling in any of the earlier rounds, hut in this one it seemed not even to concern him. He parried a right sweep with a. swing of bis right, and then, with his left, he drove straight at Delancy's solar plexus. The whole weight of his body was be- hind that blow, and the thud of it was heard all over the stadium. Joe Delancy went down like a log, and the referee stood over him and began to count. "One—two—three—four " "Come on, Joe!" shouted Doc Mullins. "Come on!" Delancy rose by easy stages to his knees and then to his feet, and he faced Danny again. But all the fight had been knocked out of him, and two swift jabs between his ribs put him down again—to stay down. "Oh, Danny!" shrilled Mrs. O'Hara, above all the uproar of the crowd. Ev V Tuesday The referee counted; the fatal ten was reached without any sign oftnoyement on the part of the defeated champion, and Mike scrambled up into the ring, crying: "That's my brother! That's my brother!" "Oli, Danny!" Mrs: O'Hara turned triumphantly to Lucille, who was on her feet like practically everybody else. "Now what do you think of him?" A policeman tried to prevent her from climbing into the ring. "You can't go in there!" he rapped. "Who says 1 can't?" she defied him. "It'll take more than you to stop me!" Joe Delancy, inert and unconscious, was being carried away by some first aid men. Captain Jackson thrust the policeman aside. "It's all right, Collins," he said; and he helped Mrs. O'Hara up under the - ropes and his daughter after her. "Hallo, ma!" said Danny feebly, but happily, hanging on to Pat. "Hallo, darling!" ^. The ring became filled with excited people. Danny flung his free arm round Lucille and kissed her, and then a micro- phone was held in front of his mouth. "Just a word, please," insisted the wireless commentator who had thus intruded. Danny nodded happily and spoke. "Folks," he said, "I want you I . meet the champion of the world—my mother!" He beckoned with his gloved hand. "Say something, ma!" "What'll I say?" asked Mrs. O'Hara! viewing the microphone with dismay. "Say—say ' Hallo 1 '^L suggested Danny; and he hugged^Twcille again while his mother stammered that word into the instrument.
