he was well named Diablo, for he had
the temper of a fiend. 1t bothered
Capt. Frank not a little. That a man
of Maynard's cleverness should play
the fool was quite out of the question; !;
besides, Maynard could surely get
something that would go the distance
and have some chance of finishing with
the others. Then, when he found out
that Diablo's owner had taken a long
bet about Musket's winning, he COM
menced to do considerable thinking
suspicious thinking.
"Ill keep an eye on Maynard in the
race" he told Slade. "He played me
a bit of a trick once at Umballa, and
I shouldn't half mind wiping out the
score. Chang's pretty big horse and
between us we can take care of our
selves, and somebody else, too, if it's

What do you mean?" asked Slade
Nothing, only We'll sort of win the
Cup between US. You'll sort of ride
under my order. and when 1 give you
the word in the race do just as I say
even If it does seem bit queer
'Tll take your coaching, Frank, fol-

That was only two days before Cur

winning the Cup. When he had won il

he had not lost yet, anyway.
"There'll be some collar bones
cracked today" said Capt. Frank to
Slade, as they put on their silk colors
in the dressing room the day of the
race. "The top bamboos on all the
jumps are iron bound, and If. any horse
hits them hard, he'll come down for
keeps; and he'll stay down, too.''

Slade. Might upset our good thing

drawing twang; "somebody'n find

Slade.

replied Johnson. They're only out for
an airing. I've backed Goldfinder, for

The terms of the race were simple
enough. 1t was a gentleman's race;

simple arrangement that turned out
very complicated at the end.

had not thought that Douglas Slade
would take her banter so seriously.
Why had he bought a horse that really
had a good chance of winning the cup
for people were saying that he might
win? Good judges liked the big chest-
nut, and were, saying that he had a
great chance.
Beth kept asking herself a knotty
question. IF Douglas Slade won,
what then?" He had kept so quiet
about it that she thought he had for
gotten the whole thing. Surely he was
a valiant knight. 1t would almost be
too bad for him to be beaten now
The thought gave her start. What ii
he should be beaten-he had been sc
plucky about it, so determined?
And then there was the gage right
enough, straight in front of her eyes

A Fortunate Find

On a Christmas eve, not long ago, a
little boy about eleven years of age was
shouting out his wares to most unheed-
ing ears. He wanted to sell them because
of his mother who was at home sick in
the little trinkets for which he had paid
his last penny. He was running up and
down. almost crying now when he thought
of how his mother would feel. He began
losing hope as he saw the people leaving
the streets.
Suddenly his eyes fell on bright coin.
He eagerly picked it up and to his un-
dollar gold piece. Not being able to find
the owner, he brought it home and gave it
to his mother and they had a happy
Christmas. james Fleming.

The Hound and the Rabbit

Early one morning in the month of De-
cember, hunter with his hound went
out for days hunt. 1t was very cold
day. Although the rabbits were plentiful
the hunter reached the woods at the early
dawn. As he was coming on fast walk
he almost stepped on rabbit that sat
near itf hole. OF course, it was not long
before the hound was after the rabbit.
The rabbit ran into its hole, but the dog
kept after him until he got to the hole.
Then he started in digging.
This was only fun for the hunter to
see his dog was so anxious to get hold of
the rabbit. The dog, however, did not
succeed in getting hold of the rabbit for
the rabbit had another hole to get out.
When he did so, the dog got after him and
was soon close behind.
The hunter, on seeing the hound chas-
ing the rabbit, thought that he could save
the dogs chase. So he shot but missed
the rabbit, and killed the faithful hound
That was the last day of his hunting, for
he thought he could not get along without
his dog. Joseph Belka.
