As It became apparent that Rod
had mad. what seemed lo bt- an al­
most miraculous recovery from what
appeared to be a ceitahi knockout,
the crowd settled down to watching
the contest, with only occasional
shouts fro»- those whe were disap­
pointed *ha* the proceedings had not
ended when Rod was on the canvas.
On-e alien the* clenched in Rod's
corner th » vouth looked dww-i to see
Kellv's face strained and pale while
tear.- franklv rolled down Kline's
cheeks, ¿¿'hough at the moment he
was smiling
He seemed to be cry­
ing and laughing all at the same
time
As nis glance met Rod s he
made a mot tor oI applause with hls
plump ha.ids and nodded encourag­
ingly
When ‘ he bell sounded and the
fighters sprang apart to return to
their corners. K lln gs voice, hoarse
with emotion came to Rod.
“ You're come fine Cowbov. Don't
let a little thing like a knockdown
faze you! You ran brat that guv!
Why. when vou got up ho couldn't
oven lav a glove on vou
But stay
a wav from him till vou feel all right.“
Rod nodded that he understood.
Kelly was workln i over him franti­
cally First he had doused the vouth
with cold water, wiped hls tongue
with a w-t sponge and now he was
busv massaging hls thighs and legs.
"Feel O K ?" he asked anxiously
"Y eah " Rod growled as he drew
deep lungfulls of the smoky air Into
hls lungs
The bell for the second round
clanged
Rod slipped off his stool
swtftlv and met his opponent In the
middle o ' Ihe ring Feinting rapidly,
he lander' 'w o solid punches to Lat-
ros body, then danced out of range
