Mr. Major, the famous cement man of
New York. explains some very interesting
facts about Major Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard ar

better than other Cements for which similar
claims are made. out great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them. because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits Mr. Major tells
US that one of the elements Of his cement
costs g. % pound. and another costs 81 80
a gallon. while large share of the So-Called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than a SiXteen-Cent glue.

Majors cement retails 81 fifteen cents and

| to be doubted as an old sport. Would
| anybody but an old sport have put up
clean 500 on a horse race? Didn't
| that bet mark him as dead game?
Hadn't he studied the programme till
he could name every horse in the races
and give the colors worn by the jock
eyS? Instead of giving the man the
| tip he put on an air of dignified reserve
and had nothing further to say. He
| hadn't thought of taking a drink in
connection with the races; but, as all
| the other old sports appeared to be
| nipping. he followed suit until buzz
zing in the head warned him to let up.
When the 80 to l race was called,
Mr.. Bowser and his friend were mel
low and bland and cOmplacent. They
smiled at each other as the horses came
out They poked each other in the ribs
as several false starts We're made.
When the horses finally got off, the
two stood up and clapped each other
on the back and hurrahed their loud
est. The horse which came in first
amid cloud of dust was not the 80 to
L; neither was the second nor third
galloped in. their tip was still lingering
down at the turn and evidently delay
ed by circumstances over which he had
no control
Mr.. Bowser had lost his 500. He,
was stunned for a moment. Then he
began to shout Cheat and "Fakew
and declare that it was a skin game.
He was given about a minute, and
then the police got hold of him. Tn
der such circumstances they hustle a
man. Mr.. Bowser was hustled. He
lost his hat, had his collar and necktie
pulled off and his coat ripped, and as
he reached the gate he was given
highland fling that rolled him through
the burdocks into the ditch. 1t was
an hour after dark when he reached
home. He had walked five miles in
order to have room to swear. lie had
left the house an old sport in his sun
day clothes. He returned to it a dilap-
idated victim of misplaced confidence.
The cat and Mrs. BOwser We're in the
hall to welcome him. but be desired no
welcome He looked at the cat in a
way to make her legs wabble, and he
looked at Mrs. Bowser as an Indian
with his scalping knife regards his
victim.
well. you are home" she finally
said.
.Yes-I-am-home" he slowly and
huskily replied, Eodding his head at
every word.
"And you'll have dinnerT
No answer.

No answer.

"Up-go up" shouted Mr.. Bowser as
he pointed up the stairs.
Mrs. Bowser and the cat assembled
Then they heard him pick up the hall
tree and slam II down. break two UNI
brellas by pounding on the wall. and
after smashing the stand and jardiniere
and kicking the palm sky high he
passed into the back parlor and flung
himself down on the lounge. The old
sport had been beaten. VI. QUAD.

eying. hui you'l come home 500 out

may think yourself an old sport. but
you'll discover your mistake That's

your back up over nothing. It's my
first tlier for l. years. and it won't
make me fool. shan't probably
play another race for ten years. Have
dinner an hour late"
Nothing further was said. When
Mr.. BowSer reached the corner. he
picked up the other man who had been
tipped, and they boarded the car for
the race track. When they reached it,
he quietly took 4 seat in the grand
stand and lei the other man place the
bets. 1t Was two hours before that
particular race was run. Mr.. Bowser
heard men soothing ut the 50 to l horse
and declaring that he couldn't gallop
40 rods, but he smiled in knowing
way and pitied their ignorance. In
one instance he was about to give a
man the tip and enable him to carry
home $1,000 to his needy family, but
the man spoiled it all by growing:
$50 you think you are an old sport
and know all about horses. eh? Well,
l don't believe you can tell a horse
from mule"
1t really hurt Mr.. Bowser's feelings

you don't mean to tell me that you
are going to bet on the horses! You
can't mean that when you are almost
a deacon of the church and won't
drink beer or bet on an election"
Look here, little woman" said Mr.
Bowser as he laughed and chucked her
under the chin. I've had a good thing
flung at me and don't propose to miss
It. I'm no gambler. but there's nothing
out of the way in taking little flier
on a horse race once in awhile If
eau make $4,000 out of 500, I'd be a
fool not to do it,"
But how on earth can you do it?
she demanded.
That's what I'm going to tell you If
you'll cool down a little You may
have read or heard that the best horse
does not always win the race-in 9th
er words, there's jockeying going on.
A horse which seems TO have no show
at all will often come in ahead. When
such IN event has been planned for,
few individuals get the tip. You know
what tip is, don't you:"
They are told about it,
That's it. They are told about it,
and they quietly invest their money on
the horse. The horse which is going to
win today is a 80 to l shot"

UPPER-TENS ON THE RACK.
Mexican Princes Book Exposing
Washington Society.

New York, Sept. 14.-Acute interest,
not t. say fear, exists among those
who are members of the social sets
III New York and official circles at
Washington. 1t has been learned that
one who says he knows the weaken
ness and faults of many topnotchers
has out of revenge written a society
novel of life in Washington in which
he sets forth some c%aricatures and ex-
poses some of the finest scandals yer
whispered.
The author of the much avoided book
which is forthcoming is Prince Au-
gustin de Yterbide, a Mexican, who
was for a time a fervent member OF
the sets whereof he writes. The pop
ularity of the prince did not last for
story. For improprieties he was ruled
out of society.
The young Mexican vowed ven-
geance against those who had accom-
plished his social downfall and set
about gathering material for a book
which would startle the world.
Two years ago he began the real
writing of the book, and has worked
on it daily, ever since. He announced
saturday that it was complete and
would be handed to the printer in a
few days.
Now that it is known that the book
will appear there is fear and indigna-
ton and several of those most deep,
ly interested are preparing to flee
from Washington. The latest episode
in connection with the matter is the
declaration made by an official in the
war department, who is a member of
the Metropolitan club and who had
much to do with getting Yturbide
thrown out.
This man, who holds the rank of
general, has already stated that if lne
book contains any mention of his name
in connection with those certain wo.
men who may De characters in the
book, he will shoot the author at the
first opportunity.
A young widow who has little rea
son to cast any reflections has obtain
ed a promise from her latest admirer
a legation official, that he will cut out
the life of the prince if her name be
mentioned. These are only instances
and there are hundreds who fear tC
fee and dread to remain. Yturbide
was certainly in a position to obtain
the inside scandals of the real upper
set, and he must be a condenser if he
has them all in one book.

Upper-Tens on the Rack.

New York, Sept. 13.-Negotiations
in regard to the German loan assumed
more definite shape yesterday when
it was learned hat a prominent bank
ing house, with German connections,
had been sounding institutions as to
the probability Of their subscribing in
the event of the loan, or part of it. be-
ing offered in the United States. The
loan is for the purpose of defraying
the COST of fitting out the German ex-
petition to China, and probably will
be for $4,000, 900 bearing 4 per cent
interest. 1t is understood that the
large life insurance companies will de-
cline to have anything to do with the
loan because of the refusal of the Ger
man government to remove it's OBJ
structions to the operations of these
companies in Germany.

he thought the face of Winifred looked
over her sisters shoulder.
He began to falter, and a lunge
Dorothy made remained Impaired.
"Winnie," he cried. and as the cry
left his lips Dorothy pierced his heart.
He stumbled; then fell at her feet.
For a moment she stood aghast at the
fulfllment of her vow; then, flinging
away the foil, she knelt at his side.
His eyes opened and as they fell
upon Dorothy the hooking smile
struggled again to the white lips.
There was no sound but his gasping
breath. His eyes opened again.
"Forgive," he gasped.
His head fell back, and Sir Harry
Fortescue vas dead.
Dorothy flung herself on the body
and kissed the lips again and again,
weeping bitterly. Her maid tried to
draw her away.

be! o, my love, my love! / thought
there was room for nothing in my
heart but hate. and l killed him

ty. THE watch will be here with the
day."
Dorothy shuddered and allowed Betty
to wrap the cloak around her. The
Waiting woman gave a last searching
glance round to make sure that they
had left nothing to betray them, and
then with the foils hidden under her
cloak, led her mistress away. The
pride and fire that had sustained the
girl during the night had gone, and
she was now all weakness and timid-
ity, obliged to lean heavily on her
maids shoulder, and a brain numbei
to all but the n thought that, in
avenging her sisters wrongs, she had
killed her own lover. His death was
already avenged.-Penny Pictorial

Dorothy %Ingledew's
Revenge.

The harvest o climbed slowly up
the cloudless sky, shining white and
clear on the sleeping town at Tun-
bridge Wells. The silence of night was
on the sleeping town. Two women,
closely cloaked, crept s%tealthily along,
the elder demonstrating.
Its a great risk you run, mistress"
she whispered.
IF you fear to come with me-, Betty,
1 go alone"
Nay, madam, my fears are not for
myself. | know my place better than
to leave my mistress alone to meet
wild Sir Harry Fortescue."
Meanwhile pacing slowly backwards
and forwards in the shadow cast by
a man waited their approach. AS the
women came into sight he advanced
to meet them.
at is but five minutes by the clock
since l came, madam, yet l dare swear
that the moments have been leaden-
footed as so many hours. The post
chaise waits for us in yonder hollow,
and we have many miles to go before
dawn"
THE chaise can wait" she said. Il
seek a word with you first, sir"
"A thousand, as you will, sweet
heart! But can you not say them as
we driver"
The moonlight fell full on the group,
as the woman stopped and threw back
her hood. and it shone on her pale,
set face. Seeing it, Sir Harry faltered
and tapped uneasily on the lid of his
snuffbox. 1t did not seem much like
the look to be expected on the face of
a romantic girl who had so easily fall
en- in with his suggestion Of a runa-
way match.
Now she said. Il will tell you
why l let you think that l would
marry you in secret, and also why the
chaise will not be needed tonight. You
have known me as Dorothy March, sir;
know me now as Dorothy Ingledew-
sister to the man you ruined. and
whose patrimony you stole, and to the
woman whose heart you broke"
He scanned the eager face with some
curiosity now. So this explained the
haunting idea that there was some
thing forgotten which the sight OF
Dorothy stirred within him. He could
see now the resemblance between the
slender, f%air-haired Winifred Ingledew

found it SO easy to get the Ingledew
money from her weak spendthrift

81 stole nothing. Your brother-if
brother OF yours he was-lost it to me
In play. He lost and l won; it is the
way Of the world, Miss Dorothy"
HE was a boy. You took advantage
of his youthful folly. My sister loved
you; you forsook her when she no
longer had gold to tempt you. He lies
in his dishonored grave; she pined
away and died broken hearted. You
killed them both. and l vowed to kill
you in turn. That is why I came to
the Wells with my %godmother, whose
name l have borne since she took me
to live with her; and I let you think
that l would run away with you in or
der that I might be able to keep my
VOW"
Tragedy becomes you, madam" he
said, mockingly. But why talk OF
killing when you know that your eyes
have already MORALLY wounded me?"
will you cease this foolish talk?
Do o still think that love brought
me here tonight? have to avenge the
honor Of my name. 1t shall not suffer
for want Of female kin"
Madam. what folly is this? How can
l fight a woman"
She unclasped her cloak and threw
1t from her as the maid approached
and handed her two foils.
Il came prepared, you see, Sir
Harry" she said. as she carefully
measured the foils to see that they
were Of equal length. Now, sir.
