By this time King's supporters were cock-a-whoop, and their rush with more money had resulted in the odds veering round in favour of their man, Jem's friends were not aufficiently well endowed with the product of His Majesty's mint to meet all the clamours for bets, and in addition, they were not exactly chirpy about the way the battle was progressing.

King, plucky fellow, taking his medicine, and it was dis- pensed to him as only Professor lace knew how, but at the call of ench round ha pluckily still went after Mace, desperately hoping that his physical atributes would carry the day. Jem didn't run away now. He stood up to his man and flayed him until King looked as if he had been lashed with the cat-o-nine- talis.
So severe were Jem'a punches that his hands became sore and puffed up. Word of this reached Tom's corner. King took more heart, and, thinking that Mace daren't put all his weight Into his blows, took every-risk that was going, and went for Jem without

There is no doubt that before Mace overcame his opponent he took a tanning. He suffered most aevere punishment, and many a man would have gladly sought the sanctuary of the referee's count rather than face the ferce on- slaughts of King.
There is no doubt also that King, less clever though he was, came very near to victory.
