realistic situations. Joshua Paynton, the
preacher who has developed penchant
fof the raceeourse, becomes much in

with Instantly that be succeeds in souar-
ing himself for having entered his black
colt in handicap. Even this is not
done until the news comes that the colt
had won the race, together with a big
purse. Upon the assuranc that money
will be pleDtif as a result of the race his
family becomes reconciled.
