has advised with her as to the placing
Of some Of his earnings, and she IL -
happy as the boy that he has shown
good judgment and business intelli-
gence In suggesting where certain
sums could be invested to good advan-
tage. There isN little reason to doubt
that his ambition to acquire q for
tune by his efforts in the saddle viii
be realized and realized handsomely.
Scores of boys try every year to be-
come successful jockeys. Most OF
them fail. Why is 1t. then, that Miller
Is a success? Is It because OF his seat
in the saddle, his short stirrups, or
some other typical accessory to the
equipment of his mount? This ques-
ton has been asked time and again.
tom" WEIGH places little credit In
any of these details.
Advantage In Method.
Miller says he perches himself well
up on horses neck and rides with
short stirrups because he has a great
er leverage on the horses head and
can guide him more perfectly.
81 can feel the temper of the horse
through his mouth when have q stiff
rein on him over his neck" said the
Jockey. IF were to ride in the old
fashioned English seat the horses
head would get away from me, and
the chances are that I would miss
some good opportunities In the race
to gain distance"
It was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea of riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries II more to an extreme
than some jockeys, but he 10 light,
strong and has perfect confidence In
himself.
For two years there has been
great rivalry between Miller and
Radtke. The latter has been less sue
cessful, but Is nevertheless considered
to be one of the best boys who ride
professionally in the United States.
Radtke is Of different temperament
than Miller. He Is somewhat fiery
little chap and rather self-willed. His
sharp replies earned him punishment
in 1906, but this year he has exer-
cised better control over himself and
fewer words of caution have had to be
administered to him. He Is consid-
cred to be very clever In making
a strong finish. Like Miller. he Is
possessed of much physical power in
his arms, and when horse is firing
In the last strides of a hard-fought
race, Radtke fairly lifts him along. as
he holds up his head and gives him
encouragement to make the three
or four final leaps that may win q
stake worth thousands of dollars.
Good Judges Of Pace.
Koerner and E. Dugan are two
clever lightweights who are skilful In
Judging pace and placing their horses
to good advantage in field of many
starters. Both are able to rate the
speed at which they are moving by
constant association of intervals of

little trouble In obtaining employment
A number Of them are abroad this
year. There is Danny" Maher. for
instance. in England. He II one Of the
best American Jockeys who ever left
his native land to ride for foreign
stables. He has been phenomenally
successful in Englapd-so much 30
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He IL riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher Is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. OF itself that ID
a feat of sufficient importance to estab.
lish his reputation in the turf world.
It Is estimated that he will earn $780,
900 In the saddle this year. He COM
mands high price, and owners are
as willing to pay 1t to him as they are
to Miller, for they know that they are
securing a competent boy and one
upon whom every reliance may be
placed.
Other Successful Jockeys.
Lucien Lyme. a jockey much ad-
mired in New York when he was In
the heydey of his success. is riding in
England. Possibly his earnings will
amount to $4,000. The English turf
men are willing to pay handsomely q
smart American boy.
Fred" Taral, whom everybody
knows In America who Knows about
race horses, has been riding In Austria
with remarkable success for the last
three or four years. and is over ther"
again.
Sheets" Martin rides in Hungary
with a probable income Of $4,000 for
the year, and Tommy" Burns has
been engaged by a German stable anC
is likely to receive not less than $751;

THE STORY.

TN ALL Israel 1t would have been
/ hard to have found a more lily
matched couple than that OF the
wealthy Nabal Of Carmel and the fair,
young Abigail. He was misery, with
a greed for gold that stifed every
other impulse and desire, and 1t had
created no small amount OF wonder
when he had suddenly decided to
marry. People marveled that he
should be able to turn his thoughts
from his fields and his focks and his
herds long enough to take a wife.
His neighbors and friends knew that
sentiment had little to do with the
marriage, and much was the specula-
ton as to what had prompted the
move.
At any rate, whatever the motive
-that stirred within his selfish old
heart, he had sought out the parents
of the fair Abigail and then had come
the announcement that she was to
become his wife.
Y Never before had there been such
q splendid wedding feast as that
which Nabal provided, and II the an
nouncement of the coming marriage
of Nabal had caused surprise, the
bountiful hand with which he had ar
ranged for the celebration created
greater surprise. for never before had
he been known to open his heart or
his hand to anyone or for any occas-
Ion.
And Abigail-while her heart had
not been won, she gave herself freely
and frankly into the keeping Of the
man who had pledged his troth to her,
for duty and obedience to parents
stood far above any other thing In
life and their wishes In the matter
were law for her. Fortunately she
was heart-free,. 80 that there was no
sitting Of other affections. She was
too true and puro woman to enter
the, solemn Relationship with other
than the highest motives, and after
the ceremonies were over and the
guests had departed she took her
place In the home of Nabal and strove
earnestly to be to him all that . wife
should.
But It was not long after the mar
risAe vows had been taken when the

"For the Lord will certainly
make my lord a sure house;
because my lord fighteth the
battles Of the lord."-A good
woman's testimony to a good
reputation. Abigail had heard
Of David and evidently held an
opinion concerning him which
was entirely opposite to that
held by her evil-hearted hus-
band. She was a Cody woman
and a believer In the ultimate
triumph of Righteousness, else
could she not have 90 confident
ly spoken of the certainty Of
David's future.
How splendid to be known as
a man who "flghteth the bat

tween himself and the threaten

must realize that the final tri-

may fight, no matter what tenn
porary victories may be won.
Through all those long, weary
years Of struggle, when II
seemed az though his best and
noblest efforts were Of no
avail, David never forgot that
God was faithful and that ulti-
mately he would be indicated
and would be established In the
kingdom as God had promised.
Faint heart take courage from
this noble example, and know
that he who patiently and faith
fully fights the battles Of the
Lord to him will the Lord give
certain victory.
