Months afterwards the Millers arrested.
Charles turned states evidence and swore that
he and Commodore were the burglars. He
not only made a full confession, but told the
officers where they would find the box-in a well
on vacant lot on Bryan street. Sheriff Lewis

a WH1M OF FORTUNE.
The Little Black Filly that Won Henry
Warnke $4,000.

ETOM OftAtfeT.
Probably the most striking illustration of
the whims of fortune in connection with the
turf is the story of the Warnke family and
their beautiful FLY. Reclare. Henry
Warnke was switch-tender on one of the
small roads that run to Coney Island at
salary that was little more than sufficient to
keep himself and family. His eldest son
was of small stature, and with the hope that
he would make good jockey the boy was
sent to Jimmy Shields, at Sheepshead Bay.
He made some progress and rode in
a few races, but nature 5000 clamored for
her rights, and the young Warnke found
that he was much too big and heavy to ride
any longer without weakening himself by
reducing. About this time the father, who
had put by couple of hundred dollars,
dubbed his savings with the earnings Of his
son, and set off for the sale of Commodore
Kittson's yearlings at Erdenheim. A hand
some black FLY, by Reform out Of imported
Clara, caught their eyes, aud when she was
put up at auction they went their limit and
secured her for 1926. The filly was brought
to Brighton Beach and a stable con-
structed for her near the little cottage
where the switch-tender made his home.
Reclare was the name bestowed upon
the FLY by Mrs. Warnke, and, as
the winter passed. the young miss
uLLll SUS was tl6
finest looking youngster around the
Brighton Beacn track. When spring came
and Reclare began to take her gallops,
young Warnke, now trainer AMI exercise
boy combined, found that the black FLY
had world of speed, and visions Of big
winnings at Gravesend aud Sheepshead
Bay filed his mind. The first time RecIare
ran was at Sheepshead Bay in a big field.
She was a very long shot in she betting,
and every member of the Warnke family
was there 10 see her debut. Johnny
Regain had the mount. and after
the first furlong there was nothing in it but
Reclare, the FLY winning under a double
pull Mutual tickets costing So yielded a
dividend Of S195 on the race. From that
time forward Reclare was the champion of
her age and sex, suffering defeat but three
times, her earnings in stakes and purses
alone footing up close to So, 900. 1t is a
modest estimate to place Mr.. Warnke's
fortune at $50 600, besides which he still
owns Reclare, and should she train on as a
3-vear-old and retain her form Of last
season. he can with perfect safety write
down his winnings at S2S,O0O-perhaps
double that sum.

The Blessing of Strong Nerves

Is recoverable. not by the use of mineral soda
tives, but by a recourse to effectual tonic treat
ment. Opiates andthe like should only be used
as auxlaries and then as sparingly as possible.
Vigorous nerves are quiet ones. and the most
direct way to render them so is to reinforce the
vital energies. That sterling invigorant Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will be found all
sufficient for this purpose since it entirely re-
moves impediments to thorough digestion and
assimilation of the food, SO that the body is in
sured its due amount OF nourishment, Ind con
sequenty of stamina. Rheumatic tendencies
and affections of the kidneys and bladder are
also counteracted by the Bitters, which is be-
sides pleasant medicinal sumulant, infinitely
purer than the raw excitants of commerce,
which react injuriously upon the nervous sys.
