Pickwickan, a so to 1 shot, short neck in
a driving finish, and in the last race the Z
to D favorite, Charentus, beat Sidney Lucas
in drive.
But three horses started in the first race,
First Whip, at to 20, winning easily. In
the second. Vouch, a two-year-old from
the Walden stable. and an even-money
favorite, had no trouble in winning. The
third race was a maiden hurdle event at
one and half miles, being easily won by
Gould the to 1 second choice.
Junius Slack, the well-known steeple-
chase jockey while schooling a horse at the
track yesterday, had his collar bone broken,
the horse falling and rolling him. After

All of the patrons of the lunch room
liked little Maggie She darted about like
a will-o'-the-wisp in checked lawn dress
and the whtest of spick-and-span aprons
Her hair was always neatly arranged,
and the butterfly black ribbon bow she
wore around her neck was never askew.
She had smile for all, and cheerful word
with her regular patrons. which made her a
favorite. and her side of the restaurant
was always taken at lunch hour.
The young lady in the cafe lait col
ored silk waist was the one patron who
did not fathom the rccesses of little Mag
gIe!s good nature This young person was
a saleslady in department store near the
lunch room, and was one of the many
clerks who We're its regular patrons. She
had no use for the trim, dminutive wait
ress- Once Maggie had stepped on the
trail of her long skirt and had torn the
gatherings Again. the waitress had spilled
q few drops of the drip on the sales

least that is what she had told the proprie-

tate those of their sex toward whom they
conceive enmity. and the young lady,
her long train. her cafe au lait colored

There had been a time. however when
Maggie had secretly admired the object of
her wrath. She envied this beautiful crea-

Maggie had glanced covetously at her as
she would sweep in the restaurant in all
the magnitude of her glory and forty-five

innocent little heart Maggie aspired to the
time when she, too. might become sales
lady and wear fine clothes and have forty
fve minutes for lunch.
But this was before she had torn the

Maggie felt sick and i'll one day last
week and with the concomitant weakness

she did not move about with her accus-

from inward burning, and her hands were
unsteady. But she kept up, for she earns
her own living. and 1t was keep up or

too long.
She tried to wait on the naughty young
lady, however, as skillfully as ever. But
she forgot the butter Then she stepped on

beneath the edge of that fateful skirt.
She also forgot the Japanese napkin, and,
as the young lady has pretty red lips, which
were not improved by crumbs Of bread and
the stain of coffee. the look she gave and
the words she spoke to the sick little wait

check for 81 cents
When the young lady handed the check
