ant mouth under the black mustache
was not smiling SO agreeably now, and
the frank blue eyes, usually merry, were
darkened till they seemed almost black.
"You are a fool, Julian King" he said
to himself. candidly.
And he had thought the same thing
last year, also.
AS time passed, Julian King was one
day presented to Miss Dane. He had
not sought an introduction-had rather
tried to avoid 1t, n while they met
occasionally there was q peculiar chilli
ness about the manner of each, an In
tultive recognition OF aversion, though
he treated her with no discourtesy nor
in any manner unbecoming a gentleman.
The hotel was ringing with the gossip
Of Miss Helen Danes beauty, her sweet
ness, her grace and gowns. Money in
pl erty was the accompaniment of this
Western beauty. An mi from Bos-
ton. intellectual and also wealthy, chape-
roned her lovely niece. Julian King
heard the gossip whispered by the
breezes. A favorite at the hotel, his
yacht, his horses and his good nature
were usually TO be depended on. The
girls all liked him, and the match-mak-
ing were extremely affable.
But. while his amiability was UNMARRIED,
his susceptibility seemed n~on-existent,
Beyond a genial friendliness his man
ner fatty declined to be coaxed.
There was one day in each week which

then she stayed tin l got off ter sleep

King told him some stories OF sailors
content. For the slightest favor, he was
always grateful; the wistful look in the
big blue eyes went to Kings heart. King
did not forget his new protege; he saw
him often. But he did not chance TO
meet Miss Dane again at he hospital.
Once he came In while she was singing,
but believed she had not seen him.
"An'ain't she pretty, Mr.. kinG?" asked
Patsy.
Yes" assented King, as one always
agrees with d sick child.
Patsy did not grow stronger. 1t was
n Autumn day when Julian King went
up to see him. He was alone, ana lay
with closed eyes, looking very weak, in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-There will
be no racing at Ivy City to-day or to-
morrow. Perhaps the gates will not be
reopened again this Winter. Horsemcn
are feeling blue over the outlook and
many believe that racing will not be

that racing viii he resumed On Wednes-

In New York, but will be back this even

MIR. Engeman will consult the best
legal advice as to the position the Jockey
club occupies. II his attorneys advise
him that he is violating no law, racing
will be conducted as usual on Wednes-
day.
Raids may be made by the authorities,
and the matter will then be fought in
the courts If, however. MIR. lcngeman
is advised that racing is illegal, the track
will be closed at once. Mr.. Engeman's
experience at Clifton makes hin wary
of the strong arm of the law. There Is
a growing feeling, however, that racing
will not be resumed.

At A SACRIFICE.

now you comet"
His thin lips parted in a wide grin of
pleasure.
King talked awhile and then went
away to join the party waiting for him
at the West Wharf.
He did not return to the hotel that
night. There was Il large reception to
be given the following evening. He had
intended being present, and a thought
passed through his mind of the cool
breezes. the dreamy music. the beauty
of the women; but it was not a longing
thought.
"Miss Il will hold her usual court:
there will be the usual crowd. M 1
do not care about it," he unused.
He spent the day with Patsy. 1t was
a morning OF happiness to the poor
child. He forgot his pain listening 10

him beautiful fruit. and 'o!d him about
the trip they would take on the water
when Patsy became well again.
AN thatll be pretty soon, ! guess"
said Patsy. wistfuIIy watching his WIS.,
itor's face.
When King returned to Patsy in the
afternoon some one was nj the bed

wish TO intgude, SO he stood beside Il
window. and presently the lady. rose
and passed to the other end Of the dormi-

waist, she was "A Gar sweeter vision thar

he spent in town on plea Of business.
Nothing would induce him to forego
this, nor to put off his affairs till next
day. Thursdays were Julian Kings
town days.
One of the last yachting parties Of the
season was got up by Mrs. Burton,
Kings especial friend, who called her
self his chaperon. 1t was to be par
| ticularly pleasant and was as well
planned as usual. But alas! on the
Wednesday appointed a storm came up
in the morning and prevented the party.
Great was the discontinue OF the would

"And you will be here?" asked Mrs.

Only Helen Dane gazed seward, quietly,
Indifferent as to his going or staying
though she herself was included In Mrs.
Burton's party.
So the next day the gay yachting party
went without him, and they enjoyed
themselves very much. in spite of his
absence,
IN the train speeding to town Julian
King was reading a newspaper. 1ndif-

The happiness OF the yachting party
from the hotel was surely not equal to
the happiness of Julian Kings party.
There was one mother who was worry

A face rising from the mists of yellow
gauze, a sweet, proud face, was framed
upon the background of the woman in
black. When the train reached the sta
ton he pulled himself up with a jerk.
Shallow" he had been thinking.
"And frivolous?'
The throng at the station, and the
practicability of edging his way through

thoughts and visions speedily out of his
10 o'clock. they would perhaps hav won
dered at his business engagement. For
that hour found him passing towards
the noisy alleys and byways of the poor
est part of the great city, touching
shoulders with a Keeling drunkard at
times, past ribaldry and vice and wretch
edness.
Down by the West Wharf there was
a little throng waiting for him, a little
throng Of especially invited guests. who
were to be taken on the river TO the bay,
where the noise and heat Of the city
were left far behind. and the infinite
calm of the great ocean brought Il days
bliss-a day all too short. His guests
were not those in elegant yachting cos
tunes, such as he had left that day at
the hotel; but were meanly clad. and
many women carried babies In their
arms. and there were ragged children
clinging to the ragged skirts of the
mothers.
But the rapturous respect and admira-
ton Wit which they all greeted Julian
, King was marvellous. To them he was
the magician who was to give them the
days outing. to give their starved souls
a taste of Gods beauty on earth. His
group of my invited guests at the weekly
boating party was always varied; but
the 1--we with which each group greeted
him never was lacking. This was the
important business which called him
to the city each week, and nothing ever
came before it or was permitted TO IN
terfere with the pleasure Of his West
! Wharf guests.
