neck, which DR.. Holmes afterward de-
scribed as resem bling "the great ophid-

caused me to think her slightly de-
formed. But all was forgotten when
she began to talk. 1T was a long, low

use of words, and that Cambridge pro-

about your friends Interests, net your
own. -Sbe also said (and how good

How the plunger was Fooled.

about how noted Jockey gave a big

wife Of the Jockey had received in
structions from her husband how to
bet. and, getting an Introduction to
the lady, he became % sort of chapGrop,
always aftcrward occupying an adj
joining seat in the grand stand. Free
qucntly the plunger spoiled the odds
for the Jockey and his hackers, SO the
latter, after ascertaining the source of
the leak, set about TO set things
straight again.
One day the runner hastoned to the
stand and told the Jockeys wife her
husband said to put $500 on a certain
horse. Knowing her usual form Of
betting, the plunger was aware the
sum named was large sum for her TO
hazard, and when she sent the money
to The ring he followed and literally
smotherad the bookmakers with bills
on that particular performer. When
the race was over, however, that cor
ner of the stand was very quiet, as the
good thing failed TO get place. The
Jockey in question rode the winneraud
after DOMINIC his everyday clothes,
walked up TO whore his wife was seat

Thousand dollars, handed his wife two
