"Time," screeched the excited young timekeeper. 5 Breathing with heaving breasts, the boxers dropped their arms and walked back wearily to their chairs. There they were fallen upon by their agitated young seconds.

The methods of these were strictly professional. Each of the young fighters ducked back in alarm from a mouthful of water that came spurting Into his countenance from the mouth of one of his faithful seconds. Each was dragged into his chair. In front of each an enthusiastic young man planted himself with a long wet bath towel which he flapped in long-armed sweeps 1 so that the resting fighter was fanned with spray-laden puffs of wind.

"The question at Issue Is: Shall ths public buildings of this city be grouped? able Chinaman in California, has Just A dashing romance, splce-flavored and nurtured in the flowering gardens of the Sacred Heart Convent at Paris which blossomed on the boulevards of the French capital and came to speedy fruition in an imposing state wedding in a palace of old Madrid, was rudely snapped in twain yesterday afternoon In Judge Traak's court, when decree of divorce was handed down In favor of Sefiora la Marchesa, Baroness de las Torres Guillen, a chinning young American girl who resides at Pasadena. And it all came about because Baron the Marquis de las Torres Guillen wouldn't clerk In pupa's office in Chicago and learn the woolen business! It was while attending school in Paris seven years ago that Halite Cunningham, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Michael Cunningham, a wealthy woolen merchant of Chicago, met the scion of nobility Whose name she rid herself of yesterday. Under the pretense that he was as wealthy as he was noble, the good-looking but Impecunious young Marquis de las Torres wooed the romantic girl, and finally obtained to their marriage the consent of the mother, who was with her daughters abroad. Shortly thereafter they were wedded with great pomp and ceremony by the ArchblshOD of Madrid In one of A Mine of Music There is a pleasure in selling a Steinway that is entirely out of proportion to the profit involved in the transaction. In fact, Steinway Pianos are sold upon a very narrow margin.

But when we sell a Steinway Piano, there js a finality, a com-pleteness about the transaction, that is a source of deep satisfaction. In the sale of a Steinway we receive a few hundred dollars. Now what does the purchaser get? You get a piano that will prove not only a source of ex- quisite delight to you as long as you live, but also a musical pleasure to your children during their lifetime. This 'is tthe gist of the whole matter, is the succinct manner In which Has-come Stephens of the Buena Vista Improvement Association stated the case.

Mesmer detailed the various moves of the promoters and said the Miyor had given members of the committee assurance that he would do everything In his power to carry the plans ''hrough to success.

S. McCahlll was stopped because it was getting too fierce and hot and someone was in danger of getting hurt. The referee of tnis scrap was "Bill" Kuehn, who "mingles" In the "Upper Ten." It started out In a bit of a frolic at a social "smoker" at the law college. Third and Broadway. There was a mock trial at which two of the star students paraded their forenslcs.

There was an address or two. Around the room sat the students listening very politely: but It was plain that they had not come there to hear oratorical stunts or learned dissertations on the law. FROM ORATORY TO SCRAP. They were waiting for the scrap. There were more eyes cast upon the expectant figure of "Jack" Summer-fleM than upon the soaring orators.

When the last rounded period soared" up and popped in a shower of stars, the master of ceremonies looked around the ring of students who sat with their chairs tilted back against the wall. "Fellows, we will have a little boxing match of ten rounds." He was greeted by a burst of applause. Wilson, the crack football man, arid young Kelch slipped Into an adjoining room and came back stripped to their undershirts with their voluminous college trousers rolled up at the bottom. They were both grinning each carried in his wake a trail of professional-looking seconds with water palls. Amid the Ironical cheers of the students.

Jack Summerfield peeled off his own coat and took his place in the middle of the recitation room, which had been cleared of chairs and furniture. The two college boys took their seats in their corners, grinning at each other, while their seconds hovered about them with the solicitude of an old hen with ducklings. Jack announced impresveiy that there would be no hitting in the clinohes and that the fighters would "break" at the command of the" referee. "TIME" AND THE BATTLE.

SECOND AND THIRD. The second round was announced by the youthful timekeeper with a voice like the crack of Doom.

Half-dressed, soppy with water and mauled half to pieces by the efforts of their trainers, the fighters stepped Into the ring again. This round was brisker and quicker and more exciting with furious rallies; the men had "found" each other's The third was a little slower. They were getting tired. No one who has not tried It knows the strain that is on a fighter. Kelch came dancing into the ring full of confidence for the fourth round.

He was winning the fight He could hit the football man almost where he would. The sound of the students' voices crying his name was ringing in his ears like an intoxication. He doubled himself up into a turtle back and came ait the football hero like a raging fury. His arms were going like mill wheels. His fists beat a rataplan on the football hero's ribs.

FIST AND STOMACH COLLIDE. But all of a sudden, something happened. Some one carelessly turned off the sunshine and the birds, became caroling at dawn. The winti rustled sweetly through the trees. Kelch was in far-off land.

One of the fooitbaJl halfback's fists had collided with the stomach portion of his anatomy. Hla arms dropped limply at his sides. He swayed unsteadily on his feet. His eyes closed and he fell fainting Into the arms of his repentent antagonist. They carried him out lmto the hall and -a ecured group worked over him.

It was to have gone ten rounds, but the referee. Bill Kuehn stopped It at the end of the third, when McCahlll had acquired two black eyes.
