McGinnis," who borrowed $100 from
his friend, ex-Sheriff Buttling, won
$4,000 at roulette, married a society
girl, and went in for racing horses on
his own account. His first attempt as
an owner was with a most unlikely
horse, which he had gratefully named
"Bhttling." No one will blame Nc
Ginnis for believing in Buttling, even
at this stage of mere expectation. Aft

a passionate faith, for "Buttling" was
hundred to one shot, and came in
first. McGinnis believes that anything
named Buttling will bring luck in

astonished to hear that he had ap-

Stories from the race tracks-the
true stories-seem to show that for

on the speed Of various birds and in

the throttle and races with them. He
