been too unbridled to be resisted. Half
unconsciously his fingers were crum-
ping and creasing ten dollar bill in
his peck et-all the money he owned.
Should he let the opportunity pass
by? Dicly Saddlers tip-it had come
like command. Dicky ought to know.
He was inveterate at the races, and he
always won-that is, nearly always
Mastered by an impulse to venture as
far as he dared he elbowed a path to a
spot whence he could read the figures
chalked on the board beside book
makers box. Seven Up was selling at
odds of to 2.
What chance! With his $40 he could
gain $50. He would use the money to
start a savings bank account for him
self and Alice. He had tried his best
to save, but had been unable. Surely
in such a cause betting was not wicked.
Thus he reasoned.
If only he had more money available.
But the $40 was the extent. OF course
there in his hip pocket reposed the $500
that he had received just as he had
been closing the Office for the half holt
day. It was part payment on a piece
of real estate Mr.. Benthorne, his en-
ployer, had gone, and the safe was
locked, SO Harold had placed the five
twenty dollar bills securely in his
pocket until the next day.
Now, not for an instant did he con-
slider intrenehing upon this sum. No,
he was sane even if he was excited.
And he was honest.
Suddenly he cast hesitation to the
winds. He stepped forward and hand
ed his bill to the bookmaker.
ION Seven Up" he said.
In exchange he received a bit of gray
card, like a ticket, with hieroglyphics
on it which signified that he had wa
gered with bookmaker No. 8 $40 to $25
that Seven Up would pass the wire
first.
AS he was pocketing the ticket and
taking refuge in the thought that if he
lost "'twould all be the same in hun
bred years his eyes encountered the
eyes of Mr. Benthorne, who was but a
few yards distant in the crowd. Mr..
Benthorne smiled and shook his head.
He must have witnessed the transac-
ton Harold, with a guilty sensation,
he knew not why, smiled in return and
sought a place in the amphitheater
above
Hardly had he seated himself ere the
race was called. The horses gathered
at the post In the amphitheater some
body stood the better to see. Then the
movement spread like a wave, and the
whole amphitheater was on its feet.
Somebody brazenly climbed upon a
chair Immediately the brazen throng
climbed upon its chairs also.
The horses fidgeted. A wait, shift
ing of positions, a warning from the
starter down they came; a cheer they
were off! And very pretty start it
was.
Imp! Imp! Go it, Imp!'
"Seven Up! Seven Upr'
"MascotT'
Voices shouted and shrieked in exul-
tation, entreaty and encouragement.
Hubbub reigned, engulfing alike the
frenzied and the self possessed. Just

case. He was disgraced. One hundred
dollars was not much, but it was more
than he could restore. To some it
would mean nothing; to him it meant
ruin. What fool he had been!
And so his hopes of Alice We're now
as worthless as those bits of gray paste
board underfoot, where disappointed
holders had contemporary thrown
them No doubt it was just as we'll
Alice must be learning to forget him
very likely, among her gay compan-
ions, already had forgotten him.
He pulled himself together with a
jerk and hurriedly made for an exit.
When he arrived at his room he had
of courses was limited. 1t was an ex-
PLANTATION with his employer face to
face or a note that would explain when
the writer was far away. The latter
he would accept the latter. 1t was the
easier solution.
They would not pursue him, TO APP
prehend him, defaulter though he might
be styled. He would quietly drop from
view, and obloquy, denunciation and
sermon would not reach him. Alice
would be rid Of him, probably gladly
after her father had in glee borne to
her the news upon hearing it.
An envelope lying upon the table at
tracted his glance, blue envelope, adj
dressed to him in her handwriting, a
handwriting every dot and curve dear
to him, treasured on many scrap
locked within his trunk. With devour-
ing eyes he scanned the contents:
Dearest Harold-Papa has relented
Come quick, quick, quick! All is arrang-
ed. It's perfectly lovely. Come quick,
right after dinner tonight. can hardly
wait. Lovingly ALICE.
p. S.-Isn't it grand?
Brave little sweetheart! He had done
her wrong. She had not forgotten him;
she had not wayered. Resisting bride
and derision, she had chung steadfastly
to him, week after week, and now she
had conquered.
Too late? Should he say, "Too late?''
Should he be the deserter? Should he
fail her? No, and again no! Her words
had restored his courage. She loved
him; she had rallied to his side just in
this hour of need, and no longer was he
a craven. He would not flee his re-
sponsibilities, by his action acknowl-
edge his guilt and abandon her to the
graceless task of defending the name
of recreant. He would remain and
defend his own name. Alice would be-
Ieye in him and would not cast him
off.
He drew long breath and squared
his shoulders. He would go to Mr..
Benthorne's house and await him and
tell him ALL Mr.. Benthorne might be
charitable; if not charitable, merciful.
He ought to have told Mr.. Benthorne
in the grand stand. 1t was to be a
hard confession, but confess he would
and meet the issues.
And after Mr.. Bent1orne he would
tell Alice.
He reread the note, kissed it and ten
derby placed it in the inside pocket of
his coat; then, strangely buoyant, he
went out of the door bent upon his mis-
sion.
