DIXON DEFEATS PLUTO.
Tho Colored Pugilist Sustains His
Reputation for Skill.
New York, Jan. 17. Once more George
Dixon proved his cleverness and hard
hitting ability tonight at the Lenox
Athletic club, where he met und de
feated Young Pluto, of South Aft lea,
In the tenth round of what was to have
been a twent Mound bout.
Tin- knockout came In the shnoe of
a left swing in the ptomnch, which
etushed the wind out of the latest ai
riwil among the short-haired fiatein
ity In this country. Pluto was herald
ed us a u mid-heater by his fi lends,
hut although he Is very clever In de
fensive work and undoubtedly game,
he was neei dangeious. Dixon soon
battered down the African's guaid and
eaily In the fight demonstrated that
he was Pluto'p master
As the rounds passed, Pluto's strength
was fast ebbing, While Dixon .showed
no signs of distress, but on the con
trol j seemed to gain lenewed energy
and fenced his opponent all over the
ring. He mined left and lights on
head and both, receiving only an oc
casional blow in return. In the ninth
round he should have knocked his man
out, as the opportunity presented ItFelf
for a light swing to the Jaw. Dixon
did not tiy to take advantage of this
chance, as he plainly saw that Pluto
could not go much further, and he was
light In so Judging. Although Dixon
cannot hit as hard as formeilj, his
wonderful cleverness Ft 111 stands to
him, and it looks now as If he will be
able to hold his own against all corners
for a long time to come.

TRAGEDY OR COMEDY,
1 know George Aibuthnot pretty well
for two years ever Mncu he had bpcn
married, In lnct and considered liin:
a llslng fellow in the llteiiuy woild.
He hadn't done nnythlng very grcit,
but his woik was distinctly promising,
and his name was giadually maltlnt;
Itself known. Unluckily, he hid mar
ried the wiong woman.
Put my f i lend wasn't like some men
he didn't whine nnd trj, he made the
best of It. He didn't go out and scaich
for n "twin soul" to whom he might
confide his mniltnl sufferings though.
Phoebus knows, he had enough to put
up with. It was not bad tompet. It
was pealousy bitter, nitan, Incessant
Jeasousy that grudged him even lil-s
literary fame. Agatha Arbuthnot wai
not one of thoso little, pale blue-eed
women, with a spiteful tongue nnd n
narrow heait, who have ruined the
career of many a sensitive man. She
hated to hear her husland's praises
sou n (ltd in her ears.
One aftei noon Agatha was slanglni,
Arbuthnot because aome women, who
had happened to cull tho day befote.
hnd gushed, and told her how foitu
nato she wan to be the wife of such n
rlsins genius. Her face was crimson
with anger, and her voice was veiy
sin 111 an shi mimicked her callers.
"Dear Mis. Arbuthnot! How pioud
you must bo of your clever husbmdl
He's quite a genius! How I envv 'on
living1 wl h the man who can wilto
such exqllhUe stoiles'"
Then she stamped her foot, and turn
ed savagely cm Arbuthnot.
'Clever' Exquisite! A genius' I
never saw any genius In your sillv
tales. Beastly rot I call them. I w Ish
to goodness I'd married Hairy Jen
kins instead of you. t am late, peo
ple wouldn't have praised him up Just
to inn me down. I know what they
mean Of course I'm stupid, and
bialnless, and sillj not good enough
foi you to wipe you boot3 on "
And then Arbuthnot did the most
sensible thing possible. He walked out
of tho dining room and locked himself
up in his studv. Agatha, on seeing the
lines of his mouth more llimly set than
usual, and guessing nothing of the
tempest that suigtd In his mind, Im
mediately went olT Into u. violent fit
of hysteric?, and called the sympathet
ic houseimld to witness that "Geoige
was a perfect brute It would scive
him light if she ran away with some
one else.'
Geoige's den wan't much of a
"study," meicly n smoke-begi lined
den. furnished v 1th a second-hand
burtnu, two or thiee chaiis, and some
shelves of books. Agatha culled it
"Geoige's sulklng-rooin," but I knew
that It was the only haven of refuge
Aibuthnot could Hnd In his own house.
"A man must diee his own weird,"
Aibuthnot said, as he sat down war
ily at the buieau and looked at the
sheets of piper littered over his desk.
"I'm not the only fool w ho's found
maiilage a failure, and, after all, I've
got a brain as well as a heart. Ill
give mj self tip to work, and waste
no time In morbid self-pity. That's a
foim of cowaidico that bads to the
cutting of one's throat; and If I've ex
hausted the possibilities of marilag3
1 11 be hanged II I've exhausted the
possibilities or life."
He smiled grimly, and taking' from
one of the pigton holes a note-book,
laid It on his desk and began to lead
Its contents.
From that day ibuthnot piogiess-
ed swiftly tluougli the book that was
to make his name. This was to be his
masterpiece wheiein lie would show
his best of biain and heait; and, as
the weeks lolled on and the novel
neared its end, Arbuthnot realized his
woik was good, and in that knowledge
could affoul tcj live, and did live, with
out love and sympathj
In truth, he needed the suppoit that
woik and philosophy could give a man.
Agatha's conduct grew dally moie
shrewish and violent, and her tongue
less lastidloiis In Its choice of word".
"So you've taken to locking vouielf
up In oui sulking loom," she eiiel
one when Arbuthniu had peifoiee been
compelled to answer her heavy bang
lug on his study door. "It's a nlc
thing when a husband coiries to lock
himself up fiom his wife. I suppose
mv society's not good enough for such
a i level man ns Vou."
rbuthnnt saw that she was in op
ot her paioyjsms of lage and unsolv
ed to control hl own feelings,
'I wanted to finish som( woik." h"
said calmh, looking at the llnoi. llt
teicMl with loose sheets of papei. And
this loom Is baldly lit for u ladj's so
ciety. You sre I have books."
"Yes. it's ,i hoi i id hole." said Aga
tha, curtly, "but you men who wiite
ue mine like pigs than human be
ings. Just look at the dust en that
desk; it's shameful And Sat ah sajs
vou won't Jit her touch your papeis.
I'm nshained of having such a dirty
hole In my house. I'll eome and dust it
myself tomonow."
At these woids ihuthnot or.t his
philosophical sell -cunt l ol.
"I must ask you not to touch the
papens on m desk," he said hastily.
I allow Saiah to biuh nnd dust ev.
eiythlng In the loom but my desk, and
that I attend to myself "
"Of couise, you fly at my throat
when I offer to do anything foi yai,"
-aid Agatha nngiilv, letting her hand
tall on the desk and (rumpling seveial
loose sheets together "I -an't speak
to you but what I do wiong. That

Her scornful emphasis only biought
a smile to Arbuthnot's fate.
"I don't know nbout that," ho wild,
good-teniptrcdly, "hut it's the best
work I've done yet. And If It's success
ful, Agatha, I shall be able to buy
you that diamond bangle you coveted

Hut even the lefercnce to the dla
mond bangle failed to move Agatha.
"How long will It take you to finish
If" she nskeel, slowly, looking down
at the untidy desk.
"I hope to finish It by next week,"
said Arbuthnot, triumphantly. "I've al
lowed Lorrlmer, tho Weekly ltevlew
man, to pee some parts of it, nnd he's
expressed a very favorable opinion and
thinks It's bound to be a success."
Agatha's eyes narrowed at the cor
ners.
"Lorrimer's n fool." she said, angrily.
"I wonder you swallow nil that fat,
hulking thlngn tells jou. I know I
should be ashamed of myself If I were
as greedy for a bit of pialse as some
men I know."
It was one cold afternoon, ten days
later, that Arbuthnot stood on his door
step In the act of Inserting his latch
key, smiling at some pleasing reminis
cences of his lecent talk with his pub
lisher. Suddenly a wild, tet rifled cry bioke
from the house, followed by scream af
ter scream, reiterated with such Intens
ity of ungulsh that Arbuthnot himself
caught the Infection of terror and
fumbled with trembling hands at the
latchkey.
At last he managed to open the door
and run Into the hall. A fearful sight
met hid eye. Fiom his study door flew
something an object enveloped In
wilthlng flames, and fiom It there
came piercing, agonized shrieks. As
the di aught from the open door blew
fiercely down the couidor the flames
leaped highei and higher around their
living piey, until Arbuthnot's sickened
gaze saw nothing but a brilliant hall
of flie.
nod! It was Agatha' Mad with tor
tin e, the naming figure rushed toward
him and threw out Its aims In agony.
Aibuthnot caught It In a tight em
brace, and with all his stiength bulled
himself and the shileklng flgum on to
the carpeted floor and lolled oven and
over until at last the flames weie
beaten out and he knew the 111 c was
loneiueied.
Three houis after the doctor came
sottly downstairs. He had used all his
skill to biing life back to the disfigur
ed body that now lay motionless on the
bed. It was all In vain. Agatha's Injur
les vveie beyond all help, and she had
lived only thiee hours after aibuth
not had can led her upsttilis.
Her husband had neve-r left her side.
and. though badly burnt about the
hands and lace, had scaicol leallzed
his own Injuries. As he looked at that
ciuelly dls'ilguied face, now swathed
and hidden In bandages, a tush of tears
blinded his eyes, and he knew that
all past dlffeiences were swept away,
and that Agatha would live henceforth
in his memoiy only as the woman
whom he had once loved with all his
heait. ISefoio life flickered out In that
suffering body Agatha opened her eyes
once and met her husband's gaze fixed
with Intense pity and love upon her
face. To Arbuthnot It seemed that she
pleaded dumbl for foigiveness, but
even ns he looked the lids closed again,
nnd In n few moments Agatha's spirit
had slipped Into the gieat silence.
When all was over Arbuthnot stoop
ed and kissed the pale, cold lips. As
he bent down the remembiance of s.ome
w oi els he had written only that morn
ing came back to him, and he stood for
a moment In silence.
"Death Is the atonement lor all In
juries, It Is the sponge that eiases the
lemeinbiancp of all tiaut-giesslons "
Later In the evening he went dow ti
bialis to his study. As lie enteied tlie
loom a slimier inn thiough his body.
He ltniemboied the figuio of flame that
had leaped Into his amis but a few
houis ago, and his heait wns torn at
the thought of Agatha's .sufferingn.
As et It was a mystety how she had
caught fire. Piesumnbly she had been
warming herself In his study, nnd her
thin gieiiadlne dinner dtess had swept
too near the flamei. A few dull ied

a deep sigh, "At least I can foi get for
