TRIO OF RUMJAHN'S SUCCESSFUL.

Bad as it was then it was a mighty lot worse now, He was told} bluntly to get out of the places where men met. Even in the by- way's of Shoreditch pavement urchins shouted after him and he went his way with bowed head and face. flushed with shame.

Away from Shoreditch. There was precedent for the man to drown his shame and misery in the false panacea of alcohol, but Mace was not rated to fall into the thickest of the mire so that he could not rise again. His mind worked the other way. He would conquer this strange mental kink that, hitherto, had made useless the splendidness of his body.

And so for some months he dis- from his Shoreditch appeared haunts and many of her erstwhile friends, not sa wise in the ways of men as they thought, opined that Jem Mace, in deserting Shoreditch, had deserted 'pugilism.

Bottom Rung Again. But he had set out grimly to re- habilitate himself. He began again at the bottom rung of the ladder, taking on all who were pre- pared to battle with him for any sum they cared to table. He fought for fivers with the ability that de- served the richest prizes the ring had to offer.

But that smug grin soon disap- peared. Jem started off as he hat dune at the previous meeting, and

he carried on in the second round. There was no lying down this time, no desperate attempt to run away from the ring. Instead, a whirling cyclone that beeded ng obstruction but was intended only on destruc- tion.

After three rounds, Bob wa showing visible signs of distress, and his face bore ample evidence of dem's ability as a portrait painter.

Dramatic Interruption.

Came the seventh round, and it took Brettle, game as a fighting cock, all his time to stagger to scratch. It seemed only a matter of minutes before he would be punched into insensibility, but Jem WAY cheated. Just when Brettle was being battered all over the ring a large posse of police, headed by Magistrates, arrived on the scene and put a stop to the proceedings.

The two principals with their backers and supportera entrained for London and arrangements were completed for carrying on the fight the following day.

Dodging the Law.

That night word of Mace's won- derful display had travelled round London town, and when the two camps met at Euston next morning they were joined by a sprinkling of Corinthians. A special train was requisitioned to take the party to Southend where it was met by two river tugs who anchored at a quiet spot on the Thames estuary, where there was no fear of unwelcome Interruption.

And in course of time the East Jem started where he had left off Enders of London began to talk the previous day, and with a terrific about forgiveness. They recognised right he had the Brum's head bob- the spirit behind Jem's action, and bing like an obsequious commoner like true sports they decided to give meeting royalty for the first time. him another chance. The reports But Brettle shock off the sleeping- received in Shoreditch about Jem's draught effects of the blow, and fights were most favourable, and no went for his opponent like a mad one having as yet replaced him, he bull.

told that approached And money in big enough amounts could be found to back him against any opponent he wished to meet.

was.

The Arch Enemy.

Jem Mace had no hesitation in naming the man he wanted to fight. "Get me a match with Bob Brettle," he answered. "I'll beat him, or die in the attempt," writes J. S. Barron in the Glasgow Evening News.

Brettle, now a prosperous inn- keeper in his native town, intimated that it would not be worth his while training for a fight unless the stakes were £200 a-side.

The Cockneys had not bargained on such a big side-stake, but never- theless they put it up, and Jem went into the strictest training.

Though Mace had regained the affections, to a certain degree (for after all he was still on trust) of the East End of London division, the Corinthians had neither for- gotten nor forgiven, and it was a purely local crowd that accompanied Jem to Wallingford Road, where the battle was to take place.

The two sides met, and after the usual polite preliminaries, Jem and Bob faced up, nothing that matter-

The Coup de Grace. It was toe-to-toe stuff, and fist met flesh with many a dull thud. The tight could not possibly last long.

The fifth round proved the last, and the final blows were delivered by Mace, a left and right to the middle of the head that sunk Brettle to his knees as if he had been struck with a battering ram.

·

Mace had come back with a ven- geance. And such was the merit of his win that he was now in line for a fight with Sam Hurst for tho championship itself.

Sul Sceptic. Shoreditch was a place for merry- making that night. Jem had re- gained the pedestal, and three years after he had shirked Mike Madden, from which time his name had been associated with that fearsome word found his way cowardice, he had back to the hearts of men.

But though his East-End follow- ing were satisfied that there was no weakness in Jem, the sports of the West-End still had their doubts. They continued to think that there was a white feather in the plumage of Mace, and that Sam Hurst, the reigning champion, would reveal it.
