By Damon Runyan. ON a bright moonlight Saturday night in later summer Chief of Police Boh Griffin stood in front of Pete Reilley’s. combing his gray whiskers with bls finger?. Be fore hitn lay the main channel of Pueblo's activity—this was in Pueblo, Colo., understand, and the time some twelve years ago. The eye of the good old c'h|ff— peace to his ashes! —rested meditatively upon the shifting throngs of steel workers and smelter hands, and recalling that ft had been pay day at the mills, the chief was consid ering whether he should send fif teen officers, or the entire force of sixteen, down into the "Grove” against the exigencies of the eve. As he debated this important matter In his mind, and listened to the polygot voices, his gaze gathered up in the moving film of folks the figure of young Mr. An drew Chlarigllone--broad of beam, and careless of manner and attire. Young Mr. Chlarigllone was shoul dering his way through th» throng without reference to any human obstructions in his path. The brow of the chief clouded He searched his memory swiftly, and brought to light a recollection of -ertaln Chiariglione peccadilloes of the past—only in Pueblo they don’t cal! 'em that. He raised a beckoning finger •'One moment, there, Andrew!” he called Mr. <'hrlariglione looked around. A moonbeam fell upon the chiefs golden shield, and glanced off into Mr. Chlariglione’s eye. An alley way yawned conveniently close at band Without waiting to hold converse with Chief Griffin. Mr Chlarigllone dived Into the alley as a rabbit dives in the whins. Such was the custom tn our—in that—day. Any time the chief of police, or any person associated with him in an official capacity, bespoke a youth runnings free, it was no occasion to wait to ascer tain their capricious desires. Flynn Obeys Instinct and Runs What Chief wanted of Mr. Chlarigllone will probably nev er be known. Whatever he. want ed, Mr. Chiariglione lingered not. He obeyed instinct and was gone As Mr Chiariglione fled Into the darkness of the alleyway. Chief Griffin drew a long, blue-beaked revolver from his waistband, where he wore it hooked to a suspender ■ button, and raising the nose of the gun toward the moon, he fired two separate and distinct shots— b'ooie! blooie! This was merely to accelerate the departure of Mr. <'hl <' igllone. and < a rled no in'en* to barm. Had Chief Griffin not fired any -h o- whatever. Mr ''hia• iglione would have paused at the city lim it > The first blast decided him to keep moving until he reached the state line; the second shot nerved him tn keep going until he ar rived. a bit breathless, in Salt Lake City.

In this corner-—Jim Flynn, the Pueblo Fightirfg Fireman! I know what you are going to say—but never mind that.

Prior to his precipitate departure to Salt Lake City, Flynn had been doing a little organized fighting around his home town, along with a great deal of loose, unrestrained milling of one kind and another, but he rode on the zizz of th° chiefs skyward shots into a real pugilistic career. Where they'used to go to see him fight in the hope of also seeing him licked. hFs home town people are now preparing to cheer for the railroad man. And. to my prejudiceo—for —Pueblo manner of thinking, that is support tb be desired above championship belts and all such trivialities. Has Traveled Tough Trails. To what slight eminence he has won Jim Flynn traveled tough trails There never was a time in his life when he wouldn't fight anybody, anywhere, and the size of the man and the size of the purse were the last things that entered into his calculations. Surely that is something In a day of great pu gilistic quibble over a pound of flesh. And. too, whenever Jim ' Flynn dipped his brow- beneath the ropes the audience could settle back feeling that whatever the outcome it would see a fight, for he has a lion's courage in a small sized frame. Had he ridden around instead of trying to ride over such obstacles as Tommy Burns. Jack Johnson — both the heavyweight champions when Flynn fought them —and Sam Langford: did he stand today upon his record, with those fights omit ted. he would have to be conceded a chance of defeating the cham pion Jack Twin Sullivan.

Billy Papke Philadelphia Jack" '' Brien Malaria-Blood Poverty Malaria is a species of blood poverty known as Anaemia; the circulation becomes so weak and impure that it is unable to supply the system with sufficient nourishment and strength to preserve ordinary health. In the 1 first stages of Malaria the complexion grows pale and sallow, the appetite i is affected, the system grows bilious, and there is ageneral feeling of weak- I ness. As the circulation becomes more thoroughly saturated with the ma larial infection, the digestion is deranged' chills and fever come and go, skin diseases, boils, sores and ulcers break out, and the entire health becomes impaired. Malaria can only be cured by removing A the germs from the blood. S. S. S. destroys every I particle of malarial infection and builds up the J olocwl to a strong nourishing condition. Then the system receives its proper amount of nutriment. ; sallow complexions grow ruddy and healthful, the | liver and digestion are righted and every symptom k of Malaria passes away. S. S. S. cures in every case because it purities the blood. S. S. S. is a safe and pleasant remedy ; as well as ati efficient one. Bonk on the blood and anv medical advice fiee. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. —how many of the "white hopes” of today would care to take that same route before clamoring for a little tilt? Not many. I wot and ween. Flynn's first fight with Johnson was in 1907 at San Francisco, and he renfained upright, or nearly so. for eleven rounds. Then he be came conversational with the Gal veston black and cast aspersions upon the Johnsonian ancestry. Whereupon. Johnson knocked him over. Afterward Jim remarked: "The only time I put a glove on him was when we shook hands." Jim Flynn is np spring chicken, as we reckon pugilistic springers He is nearly 33 years old. .In sport ing circles this is considered bor dering upon senility. Somehow, age never seemed to rest very heavily upon the shoulders of Jim Flynn. With all his 33 hard win ters. and equally adamant sum mers. he will weigh around 190 with his diamonds off.
