Pearl Ho11yhock was IS.
Over her young life no sorrow had come, save
tue occasional parting OF a corsct-strng when
she was in hurry, or the Strengthening out Of
her crimps while sitting On the front stops With
Agcruon.
She loved Algcrpon. >.
His real name was Jim, but soon after they
first met Pearl had insisted upon giving him an
other. She said Algernon was more romantic.
He was poor, but not proud. Pearl was tho
only daughter Of a rich merchant. Everybody
who got good look at her said the old man was
in great luck not to have another. Pearl could
not be called pretty. unless man wanted to be
arrested for unnatural lying.
Jim knew this. He also knew that old Holly
hook was we'll fixed. Hence he had asked for
the daughters hand with considerable conf
dence. The father looked at him steadily, and
then said: "BrinI me 1900 to show that you
hnve energy, and she shall be yours" This was
in December. By July Jim had saved $50 out
of poker game. which he kept away from. BE
had great scheme by which Pearl was to be
won.
1t WIS race week.
Jim had bet his $50 On horse that was to trot
that day, and should the animal win he would
have the 81, GOO for old Hollyhock's inspection.
Feverlsh with excitement he hired rig and
started With Pearl for the track. But SO grant
was his anxiety regarding the race that he drove
nmlesly around the city until late in the after
noon. When he reached the course = man told
him that Belle Of Pumpkinville had won the
hr6t two heats and Sandy Creek Maid {Ji1n's
horse) the next two. 1t certainly looked soft
for Jim. In the excitement of the moment h8
deliberately drove lis buggy up 10 the very edge
Of the course, and, while the horses were scoring
Tor the fifth heat told Penrl Of what ho had done,
and how, when the race was over, he would .ap-
proach her parent with bis future bride on one
arm and bundle Of pool-tickets under the
other. Tears suGused her eyes Us she listened,
but they we're easily wiped away With a corner
Of her dustcr.
At Inst the horses we're of. Pearl stood up In
the buggy, her golden rnglets tossed carelesly
around by the breeze and her eyes fixed On
Sandy Creek Maid. Ere long the noble animal
shot to the fore, and entered the homestretch
fur ahead Of the rest.
"Darling, " cried Pearl, Ia au ecstasy Of Joy,
" that dear, sweet horscy will surely VIM
II reckon" said Jim. He was cool, but it
looked like q dead sure thing. In came the
Maid. AS she neared the buggy in which the
lovers were seated, Pearl smiled Unfortunate
" the horse looked that way. It was already
tired, but that smile settled things. Making q
Wild break the anima! Started for tha other
fence, thereby violating Que Of the plaluest
rules Of trottne, and being distanced.
Pearl never knew why Jim left for LeadviIio
that night. The driver Of Sandy CrceK Maid said
be never knew her to have ft before. Pearl |
stts alone in the turret Of her pas house on Cal

is also Of ore, and II his mine pans out we'll will
