THE JOCKEYS MOTHER

Overcome by Excitement ut Monm outh
While Watching Her Boy Ride Arab.
New York SUM-
At Monmouth Park on Saturday neatly
dressed middle-aged-woman,w with mother
ly face, sat just behind the reporters stand.
She watched everything and everybody
closely, and seemed to be labori1g under
great excitement. As the horses were go
ing to the post for the sixth race, she stood
up and looked down the track anxiously.
Turning TO several men setting behind her
she asked with assumed composure, "Can
you tell me what horse the boy Decker is
riding?"
Arab" replied one of the men.
SIS he favorite?" she asked
"No," said the man. "Do you want to
make bet."
"Oh, no, don't care to make bet, she
replied, "but I'm interested in the race"
Just then the cry went up They're off,"
The woman stood on tip-toe and watched
them coming. As they entered the stretch
she clapped her hands and cried, "Come on,
Arab; come onl Good horse, good horser"
The horses were nearly at the wire when
her excitement overcame her and she sank
to the floor. She didn't swoon, but she
didn't have any strength left. When she
was lifted upon a chair her first question
was: "Did Arab win?'
She was told that he was beaten by a
head. She was terribly disappointed. As
soon as she had recovered sufficiently she
lett the track. A man who said he
knew her said she was the Jockey Decker's
mother. Decker had been jockey several
years, but that was the first time she had
seen him ride.

CHAPTER XII.

CONCLUDING WORDS BY DIR. BRANDT.
1 am a philosopher first and last. If,
through the stupidity of policeman, lost
the fair hand and the fair money of an es-
timable diseased and deceased lady, I can
still smile. Am 1 to blame? Ask the
happy husband of Bertha Glaye, who lives
in luxury on the money that might have
been mine. I plotted for money, but my
hands and soul are free from crime and
treachery. Can thousands and millions of
the worlds successful ones say as much?
My friend, have lost the monev 1 plotted
for, but are YOU sorry for Mrs Glaye? Dis
interested sorrow is ennobling; be sorry,
but rest consoled with the knowledge that
Mrs. Glaye escaped much future physical
agony by her wild act. The post mortem ex-
animation proved that fact Living, she
would have dragged on a few years, to be
racked by eIcruciating pain. She was bet
ter dead, although I am sorry to say that
Cyril Durand refused the money Bertha
begged him to accept. But his inven-
tions proved profitable at last, and he and
his vile live in very happy home. He is
still weak willed enough to allow his wife
to rule him; but that is the ordinary con-
comitant of marriage, although I am willing
authority with the most gentle and loving
hand. They have persuaded me to live
with them, and when I am not inventing
new dishes in the kitchen 1 am playing
with a very charming little, blue-eyed,
aaxen-haired girl, who is named Ella after
her mother, and who has been taught to call
me grandpa" Am I to blame? hold the
little child in my arms, feel her soft little
hands tearing at my spectacles and hair; 1
glance toward happy wife, made happy
through my exertions, and who has always
a loving smile for me on her face and low
ing place for me in her heart, and am con-
tent
can not help regretting my sad loss now
and then, but perhaps, after all, was cut
out for bachelor, and who knows ii had
wealth might not have turned into glut-
ton. I have made others happy. While
you blame me, remember that fact, and
profit by it in your own wiser way.

MACKENZIE A BUSY MAN.

How the Grent London Physician Utilizes
Every Minute of the Day.
| Boston Herald's London Letter.I
1t is said in the profession that no ply
sician in London receives so many patients
in his consulting room as Sir Morell
Mackenzie. They come, not only from
every part of England, but from every part
of the world, and the list includes royalties
and mobiles, as we'll as commoners. In ad-
| dition to the patients who call, there are the
| patients who must be called upon. And
then you may say the work is but begun.
For man whose working days are very
long, Sir Morell is an early riser. He has
breakfasted, read his mail and morning
papers, and is out of the house by 9
o'clock. He reserves the hour from Q to 10
for few urgent cases which require timely
morning visit. Returning home, he receives
patients in his consulting room for the next
four ours. All who call before 2 o'clock
may have audiences with him. At he
lunches with his family. But there may be
dozen persons waiting at that hour, and
they must be attended to after luncheon.
Then he enters his carriage and makes his
round of calls. If he reaches home by 7:3O
u
goes through his correspondence, and per-
haps finishes a scientific article or adds a
chapter to one of his medical works. He
rarely dismisses his secretary before II
o'clock, and he is generally at his own desk
until midnight.
I was much amused one day when he
showed me his arrangement" as he calls
it, His arrangement consists of two con-
sulting rooms connected by a narrow pas
sage, closed at each end BY swinging doors.
During "office hours" the reception room is
certain to be filled with patients. The caller,
in his order of arrival, is shown by polite
manservant into one of the consulting rooms
Presently Sir Morell enters, greets his pa
tient, discusses the lease" and, when the
discussion is at an end, touches hidden sig
nal, to which an attendant responds, as the
great physician bows cou. teousiy to the de-
parting visitor, and then disappears through
his "private exit" to the second consulting
room, where another patient is IN waiting.
When this lease has been disposed Of, Sir
Morell retreats again to the first room, to
which third visitor has meanwhile been
admitted, and during this interview fourth
caller is shown to an adjoining apartment.
Thus, Sir Morell is never kept 10 waiting,
and thus he saves his own time, as well as
the time of his patients. Like a panto-
mime, ISM L! Salu ne, as ne gave me prdc-
tical illustration of the efficacy OF his ''ar-
rangement." 81 am continually appearing
and disappearing through DOORS" But the
visiting patient sees no evidence of the
pressure that is always upon the genial doc
tor-the arrangement is so perfect, the polite
attendants are SO thoroughly trained, and
Sir Morell's manner is so cordial and atten-
tive. "This little passage saves me at least
an hour and half every day." said the
famous pysician, with merry twinkle in
his keen brown eyes.
