He invested five cents in one and glanc-
ing down the list of events saw that a
bay colt, named Savarin, was entered in
the name OF j. W. Rogers in the autumn
stakes. 1t was strange coincidence that
the anvil that had fallen through the CELL
ing OF his store was of Rogers make;
that Mr.. Barrett made il rule to take
lunch at the Savarin whenever he was in
New York at the lunch hour. Still
further, the conductor on the car from
which Mr.. Barrett had fallen had given
his name al Clayton, while IN the card
the jockey billed to ride Savarin was also
named Clayton. Mr.. Barrett pondered on
all these strange condolences and finally
concluded that it could do no harm II he
backed Savarin to the amount OF $50.
Even IL he lost, as he expected to, he
could afford 1t, and thus reasoning he
made bet Of $50, at odds of 10 to 1. His
luck followed him all right for Savarin
won by neck, ana Mr.. Barrett went
home that evening $500 richer than he
was in the morning.

Men may differ in their opinions ss to
wbether or not there is such a thing as

In the smoker OF the mail train from New
York the other night would go far to
convince the skeptioal that IL there isn't

good fortune to escape death twice within
few hours, and who wound up the day
by playing tho horses and winning a
ten to one shot. 1t is no fancy tafe, that
the Gossiper's informant assured him,
but an actual fact that can be substan-
tiated by Grocer Barrett who crowded ali
those thrilling experiences into compar-
atively small part Of single day.
For 20 years Mr.. Barrett has been in
the habit OF taking his seat at his desk at
a certain hour in the morning. Five
minutes before that time on the day
