 Allis. ready dressed in the Porter colors, had been driven to the course half an hour before, the time. set for the Derby. Her face was as satisfac- tor1ly disguised with dust as though she had ridden three races.
 Mike assiduously attended to every de tail; even the weighing, thanks to his Ofacious care, was matter of not more than one minute. The girls weight was one hundred and ten pounds. The sad de brought it up to one hundred and thirteen. She would have to ride at least two pounds overweight, for the horses tmpost was one hundred and eleven. Lauzanne was being led in 8 circle by boy, so Allis shielded her self from the general gaze in his empty stall. fF
 At last there was the summons to saddle, and I.auzanne was brought into the stall by Dixon. Then the door was shrouded by an ever-changing semi circle of curious observers. Allis gave a little start and turned her head agay as Crane, pushing through the others, stood just Inside the stall and spoke to
 
 Dixon. y-5..
 .'Is Miss Porter here?" Crane asked. quite in the tone of casually interested friend
 "She may be in the stand" Dixon an- swered, without turning his head, and to the girls relief, without further com ment, Crane quietly moved away.
 Dixon had never taken so much care over the preparation of horse, and at last everything was as perfect as it could possibly be made. Lauzanne's be- havior gladdened the girls heart; he was as supremely indifferent to the sad ding, to the staring of the people, as though he were in his own stable at home. Not a muscle of his huge flank trembled. Once. as the bridle rein was loosened for an instant, he half turned in the stall, curved his neck and stretched his golden nozzle toward the small figure in blue silk, as though he fain would make sure by scent that one of his natural enemies, man jockey, had not been thrust upon him. Allis understood this questioning movement and, reaching out. her hand, rubbed the gray velvet Of his nose.
 saThey understand each other" said Dixon to Mike, in an undertone.
 Dixon stepped back to the corneu where Allis was and said: T guess

AN EVENING PRAYER.

. God. this day has fed apace,
bringing me nearer to Thy face;
Help me. Father. to live to Thee,
That i. In peace, Thy face may see.
Curtain my bed night after night;
Wake me each morn with Thy sunlight;
Shed Thy bright beams upon my day:
Direct In all Go or say.
Forgive the evil have done.
I ask In honor of Thy Son;
Cleanse me, pray on Bonded knee.
Let not one stain dishonor Thee.
4 would not plead for self alone.
But all for whom Christ did atone;
May every dear one yield to Thee,
That all In Heaven may dwell with me-
Refresh my body with sweet sleep.
Under Thy wings my soul do keep:
That when i wake my powers may DO
Better prepared TO work for Thee
TO render praise to Thee. Most High,
And to enjoy Thee when die;
All this ask In His great name.
Who Is eternally the same.

| attention to him. and he walked up to
the pile OF hay and began eating.
There was a sudden fash of hind feet,
and Proteus found himself In a heap,
| not hit by the feet-he was too quick
for that-but tumbling there In his
jump to get out of the way.
From that moment there was war.
| Proteus was back at the unfriendly DON
key with his head lowered prepared to
butt her through the side of the barn.
The trainer interviewed and the goat was
led away.
The goat kept to a discreet distance
for several weeks. He hustled past the
vicinity Of Valentines hind feet, but
he might have been observed frequently
| standing at little distance from her,
eying her pensively as IL considering
just where 1t would be best to plant his
head. Each time he would shake his
| head and move away. Therefore the
trainer thought there would be no diff
ficulty with Proteus.
The goat in reality was nursing deep
laid plan for revenge His chance came
| last week. Valentine was suffering from
a slight indisposition-a fact that
seemed known to the goat The lot in
which the animals had been turned
loose was covered with ice. This was
| another fact which the goat seemed to
realize was to his advantage.
He took poor Miss Valentine all of a
sudden. She probably had just been
thinking to herself how she had that
poor goat scared to death. He dashed at
her suddenly from an unexpected quar-
ter, and the donkey's feet flew up in the
air. BY the time she had scrambled up
Proteus had launched himself again.
The lot, says the Chicago Tribune,
was filled with scattering animals. The
trainer was absent, but his assistant
came running TO the field of battle with a
lash. This he laid over the back of the
goat, which paid no attention to him or
to It,
AS rapidly as the i'll fated donkey could
reach her feet Proteus hit her. He landed
at will Time and time again Valentine
went to the mat, getting weaker every
time. She was unable to find an opening
for her hoofs. The ice gave her poor
footing, and before she could wheel
on the bs-tering ram that was launched
at her it had struck her and she was
stretched out again.
For a half hour the assistant tried to
beat off the goat. The duel ended when
Valentine mortally injured and too weak
to rise, gave up the fight. Then Proteus
walked contentedly away.
A half hour after Valentine had given
up the fight she gave up the ghost, in
spite OF everything that could be done
for her. The only marks on the goat
were those of the lash

ssGIVING THANKS ALWAYS"
uven I'm Times of Adversely There In
Great Deal for Which to BE
Grateful to God.

Give thanks even In hardship. One Of
cur hymns sings
Il thank Thee more that all our Joy
Is touched with pain;
THAT shadows fan on brightest hours,
That thorns remain;
80 that earth's bliss may be our guide.
And not our chain
Give thanks even when We think that
we have absolutely nothing for which to
be thankful; for IL we look about, or
better, up, we shall find that we have
something, says Wellspring.
Return thanks even though our bless
fngs seem to be very small. The way to
deserve the larger blessings is to feel
gratitude for those which are received.
You would not feel much like giving
more TO boy who feels grudge against
you because you didn't give him a dollar
instead of a dime.
And We should give thanks also for
Dressings yet to be-because we trust
God so. An earnest Christian wife
thanked God Tor the conversion OF her
husband. although he had not yet found
the light With God promises are as
good as payments. Let us rejoice as
we'll In that which Is coming from the
Giver OF every good gift as well as in that
which we already hold in our hands.
Let us give thanks also for the good
that comes to the other fellow. In the
backyard the boys were gathered and 1t

The goat which "is' was the cause Of

the sorrow of her owner, John f. Will

has troupe of performing animals
goats, donkeys and dogs. Miss Valen-
tine was the star. She was cake walk

The family was happy one until a
couple of months ago, when two new
goats were added to 1t. Proteus was one
OF the two. He made friends with all the

he had done wrong in permitting cold

beard good naturally.
To this salute Valentine made no re-

assemblage he solemnly baptized a cat
An altar to Odin was set up in the
dining-saloon and the cat was taken
there In basket
The priest Of Odin then appeared, clad
In white. A glare of electric light made
the scene most impressive. He offered
horn to the god-mother, who sounded
note on 1t, which caused the cat to
spring from its basket Then it was
baptized according to the Scandinavian
rites. Verses composed by Lott for the
occasion being recited in the service.
I'm the name of CATS" chanted the
priest, Il baptize thee Beikes, and thou
shall know, l hope, the honor that thy
name confers upon thee"
Beikes signifies handsome girl" The
cat was given the following command:
BE implacable to rats, gentle to
humans and preserve the opalescent
splendor Of thine eyes. Above all be a
cat and under our hands show how thou
canst curve thy dorsal spine"
