"lth . Green Tiger and . Green Tailyho
At tn. Bennlnon RACES,


At DehninEs had just boon run when Their
was seen crossing the lava a man who
Sartonally speaking. vas certainly a lovely
pieoe OF work.
He wore a hunters green cutawsy sui
Of clothes, closely buttored, one Of thos,
green Alpine dent in the centre soft hats
all the same King Edward; green eathel
low cut shoes 10 match, hunters green hC
gloves, and flung over his shoulder vas I
pair Of green leather covered hsld glASsei
encasod In . green leather holder
Anybody ~notauHsring from paralysis Of tb'
optic nerve could SEE that this psrOon was
decorating swell ell proper enough. The
coarse ~gTOundlingS through and among
whom he strollsd nudgSd one another and
pointed him out With their thumbs.
Huh, that for me- q squash nosed regu-
lar muttered. looking up from his dope
charts as the reverberAting tof swung by.
4 don't see how l can lose after gettin' a
peek at that
Other cracks OF that sort followed tho
man as no mado HE way toward the tallyho
anchorage. Grouped close 10 the gate
leading to thlsenolosure were a LOT Of own
ers and trainers and grooms and wise
regulars and Truw chewing stable hands.
They surveyed the orescendo apnarition
IN the all green shades and thoy all broke
into grius.
The bored looking emerald diked swell
halted at that gate and pulled a tiny silver
whistle from one OF his tapped cutaWay
coat pockets. Placing the cunning little
silver whistle to his lips, he blew a Sbrill
bo's'n's blast upon the pipe.
Then a tiger seated on the hack Of a dark
green painted tallyho. hearing the blast
on the silver pipe, hoped down from the
wagon and hustled over 10 the man sum
monins him. The tiger woTe q green coat,
with double rows Of silver buttons, whits
brooches, topboots, and a green cockade 10
his plug dicsr.
When he reached his summoning boss
be saluted him with the abjsct obseouious-
ness Of all tigers and stood at attention,
bis hands glued to bis sides.
-Oh, ! say, me man, said the resplendent
boss 10 the waiting tiger, get me a hand
kerchiei. y'khAw. It's in the breast pocket
OF me paddock coat, on the inside scat OF
the drag, me good fellow
The stunned crowd saw the tiger salute
and then canter back to the tallyho with
all bis might. The tiger lifted a coat from
inside the drag, pulled a handkerchief with
q green border from tho breast pocket.
redepoSted the GOAT in the coach and
raced back to the gate, where he handed
the handk erchief to the glad spectacle
in the green things.
All, thank you. me good man. draWled
the greeniSh delight. and then he wheeled
and began his stroll back.
RigN then the bunch Of onlookers
grouped around the gate awoke from their
rapt revere.
Curse his handsome face" groaned
one Of them, out loud, Twas him that
forged the will TO me fathers estate
Give me back them papers or I'll tear
up the che-ild, . Missed another Of the bunch,
melodramatically.
Now il that comes back here again
another Of them said, I'm going to clip
him the sAssieet spank on the ulna bone
that was ever pulled or
-0h, fury. the dissipated devil' said still
another OF them.
And all like that. The green ~spparelled
article OF splendor heard these cracks. He
couldn't help but hear them. II was meant
that he should hear them.
Well. he turned around slowly. Then the
kidders observed for the first time that he
had q square Jaw and that there was a
hard, penetrating look In hls eyes.
Looking again when he turned that way
they noticed that he was a mighty big,
outstanding. powerful looking person in
green. After turning he slowly walked
back TO where the now silent group Of men
we're standing. They weren't saying a
just then.
'Lemme tell you pin oonks something.'
said the appahtion in green then without
any preliminaries Whatever, and his six
foot two inches looked mighty looming
~ he started to talk. The next greasy
mutt thet opens his chops about me, either
here or anywhere else on thess grounds,
ID going TO be staked to = couple Of floating
ribs. Oct me right, I'm not Topping
around with any Clipped fragments Of
cordwOOd OF Ey shoulders, hpt I'm getting
some peeved over the gum mumbllngs
you chin testers around here. The
hrst one Of you crabs that unpeels his trap
about me again Is going to the rug for the
Munich on that q minute
Then the green one turned around and
slowly started again for the clubhouse
Not . maj In the crowd opened HE
lace. They had all become suddenly busy
up TO sse II there were any heecy
clouds overhead.
Then . Baltimore horSeman who had
been taking II all in with keen amusement
went over to the group and explained
hat the bowling toh In the green stuI
was not only enc Of the miEhtisSt nobs Of
Baltimore but the champion amateur heavy
weight boxer Of Baltimore. /
You can't dope 'em by their shells.
