"Why don't I run?" Now he was quite sure he heard footsteps again---following the same path he had taken to the 'corner. 'He waited, scarcely breathing, and then he saw a figuré round the dor 'I ner of the building and emerge from the Shadows into the light cast by the street lamp. The man was looking--looking in the diréction of Jimmy's rooming house. The light revealed his burly frame and, although a cap was : pulled well down over his head and eyes, Jimmy got a clear view of the lower part of his face, the heavy chin and jaw. He stood still for several seconds, looking and listening, and then he moved. As he drew abreast of the grocery store Jimmy stepped out in- to the light. "You seem to be look- ing tor something," ha suggested. The othet, startled at Rand's sud- den appearance, jumped back. Re- covering quickly, hé muttered a re- ply 'and started to pass on. "Come on, you were following me. What's the game?" Jimmy had moved 'quickly to block the man's path, his eyes glowing with hot anger. . "Out of the way, you--"' With an oath the man in the cap suddenly ---- He would have fallen if he had not backed into the brick wall of the building. He sprang away from the building and to one side just as the other came boring in with a bull-like rush. But another thing became apparent, too, as. they maneuvered back and forth, the bigger man ever plungitig forward and Jimmy retreating in a circle. That was this: In giviig ground as' he did, Jimmy not only managéd to keep out of reach of the other's swings but also to keep to his opponent's right. Consequent- ly the man was forced to. tufn slightly toward Jimmy before start- ting one of those right-hand '"'hay- makers"--and he seerfied to be us- ing his right hand two to one in pres ference to his left. Invariabiv, every time he made the shift Jimmy would dart in with a stinging punch to head or body and béck again in time to avoid the return, There was anotner marked differ- ence between the two. Whereas hig opponent's attack was confined to those. mighty wide-arced swings, Jimmy was punching straight Jami rt the shoulder or snapping little & b from the wrist. It is an axiom in scientific fighting, just as it is in mathematics, that a straight line is the shortest distance between points, and in countering as he did with those swift lance-like thrusts Jimmy was not only beating his antagonist to the punch every time, but he' was astonishingly accurate. Besides this there was a deceptive power in those straight, snappy jolts that 'were raining a on the the other's face and body. "Come on and fight like a man." |" He snarled at Jimmy through lips that were puffed and bleeding. His breath was coming in short, jerky gasps, the effect of those telling body punches. "You damn dancin' master, you, let me get my hands on you and I'l! break you in halt." Jimmy pulled up short, well out of the other's range, and dropped his hands.
