has advised with her as to the placing
OF some Of his earnings, and sac is as
happy as the boy that he has shown
good judgment and business intelli-
gcnce in suggesting where certain
sums could be invested to good advan-
tage. There is little reason to doubt
that his ambition to acquire for
tune by his efforts in the saddle will
be realized and realized handsomely.
Scores of boys try every year to be-
come successful Jockeys. Most Of
them fail Why is it, then, that Miller
Is a success? Is 1t 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 stlrrups because he has 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 a stiff
rein on him over his neck" said the
jockey. IF i were to ride in the old
fashioned English seat the horse
head would get away from me, and
the chances are that / would miss
some good opportunities in the race
to gain distance"
1t was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea Of riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries 1t more to an extreme
than some Jockeys. but he is 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 a 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
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 a
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
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-08-22

time with the distance posts on the
track. There have been harness
horse drivers who were able to tell
almost to the fraction OF a second
the speed at which they were driving.
30 1t is with some of the Jockeys.
Constant devotion to their work has
enabled them to gather relative ideas
OF time and motion, and 1t is a great
aid to Jockey tc be able so to rate
his horse as to have some reserve
strength and power left for the finish.
Heavyweights Go Abroad.
Lightweight jockeys are so much
more in demand in the United States
than they are abroad that it is usually
a matter of but few years before the
poor wight gives up in despair, as he
finds that nature has insisted upon i'm
posing more flesh over his skeleton
than he can possibly rid himself of.
When that happens many OF the best
American jockeys go to the tracks of
foreign lands, where the weight i'm.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-08-22

posts are heavier. They usually find
little trouble in obtaining employment
A number Of them are abroad this
year. There is Danny" Maher, for
instance, in England. He is one Of the
best American Jockeys who ever left
his native land to ride for foreign
stables. He has been phenomenally
successful in England--so much so
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He is riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher Is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. OF itself that Is
a feat OF suffl Client Importance to estab.
lish his reputation in the turf world
1t 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 a
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 there
again.
"Skeets" Martin rides in Hungary
with probable income of $4,000 for
the year, and Tommy" Burns has
been engaged by German stable and
Is likely to receive not less than $751;
900 for the seasons work
France has a fine lot of American

O'Connor, Johnny" Reiff, Cormack,
Henry, Shields. Mcintyre and Wiley.

1t was the night of the ball, and
Miss Timmons sat in her room read
ing, when a servant came to say that
a gentleman in the parlor was waiting
to speak with her.
She went down to find Jack Thomp-
son in his evening suit, looking his
happiest and best. He came forward
to meet her, saying eagerly: Now,
Miss Timmons, | want you to go over

She came back to the parlor in a

her chin and a pink flush on her
cheeks that made Jack wonder why
he had never before noticed that she
was really pretty.
1t is more than likely that not one
Of the young girls there enjoyed that
evening more than did Miss Timmons.
Her life had held but little playtime,
for all of her younger years had been
full of care for an invalid father, and
now that she was alone, it had gotten
to be an accepted fact that she went
nowhere but to church; and yet, If
there was extra sewing to be done, II
there was sickness or death in fam
lily, Miss Timmons was the first to be
sent for.
She sat tonight, gazing down on
the gay throng below, with happy,
smiling eyes,
Jack left her presently, but she did
not feel in the least alone. He soon
returned with another gentleman.

There, that is perfect" said little
Miss Timmons, as she took the pins
from her mouth and Strengthened up
to survey her work.
She was putting the last touches to
the drapery of party-dress for the
eldest Miss Thompson.
AS she turned, her eyes caught in
the mirror the reflection of her own
plain, brown figure in striking con-
trast to that of the stately girl in
white beside her, and for just one min
ute there came into her heart a sense
of loss and discomfort, but 1t was gone
in a moment, for Miss Timmons was
very practical little woman, and be.
side this, she was quite plain looking,
and was almost 33, and she had never
had any use for a party-dress in all her
busy life.
Miss Thompson looked with delight
at her own graceful reflection, for she
had all young girls pardonable pleas
ure in looking her best.

said her sister Alice, who was leaning
against the door, watching with ad-
miration the dressmaker's deft touches
and waiting her turn to be fitted. Il
only hope mine will be as pretty, and
l know there won't be two sweeter
dresses there"
Miss Timmons looked gratified, for
she was an artist in her way, and had
an artists pleasure in success.
These dresses were, besides, to be
worn to the great event of the season,
a ball to be given by the Masons, and,
as is always the case in a small town,
nothing else had been thought of or
talked of for weeks among the young
people; and little Miss Timmons had
had her skill and ingenuity taxed to
the utmost to provide pleasing and
suitable costumes for all those who
had required her aid.

The heavy, strained breathing Of the

and a half smile Of bitter contempt
curled Hampton's lips, as he swept
over them a last defiant glance.
