Haggard and hollow eyed. he rose for
breakfast and made a pretense of go

him thick letter from Ethel.
There was the promised post card
with the crowd as background. There
was also another card showing him
looking down with a tender smile into
the eyes OF a girl whose ardent glance
was even more fervid than his own.
The girl was an entire stranger to
him. and Jack wondered by what trick
about the result. He knew how she de-
lighted in performing the seemingly i'm
possible. He turned TO the letter for
explanation.

In an unlucky moment Jack had rem
dered Ethel and her latest adorer ride
ulous. Ethel had sworn TO be reveng-
ed, but Jack had paid little attention
TO the threats. Now he could under
stand what Agnes meant when she
said she knew him for what he really
was.
He hurried from the house to the
telephone station and called up Agnes

This is Jack" he explained over the
wire. did you get a letter from
Ethel?"

Ethel's kiss had been most fervent.

that she was only his sister and that

case.
There was no formal engagement be-
tween Jack and Agnes Weston, but an
understanding existed that when his
salary was increased there would be
an announcement. The raise had come
IN the shape of promotion while he was
on vacation. A letter had told him
that on his return he would sit at the
euperintendent's desk. he wanted to
start back at once and tell Agnes or
his good fortune, but he had sacrificed
his vacation last year In his struggle
for advancement, and he needed the
rest. Agnes had gone to visit relatives

Now he was on his way to town, and
I'm another week Agnes would join him.
He could then put the question, to
which the answer seemed assured.
II was a trying week. Had 1t not
been that Jack was busy getting the
angles of his new position he would
have Jumped on train and headed for
the west. as no letter had come from
Agnes during the latter part OF the
week. He telephoned her mother to
learn the time OF her expected arrival.

train rolled In, but the greeting chilled
him. In place OF the sunny smile the
eirl was coldly formal. She addressed
him as "Mr Deane" and insisted upon
going home alone In cab.
Deane was In despair. He could not
argue with her In the station, and not
until after dinner did he go TO the
house for an interview.
The explanation was simple IN the
extreme. Agnes declared that she no
longer loved him. that she was GLAD
she had discovered his true character
before II was too late. More than tnat
she would not say. After a brief half

All the turf world on both sides OF
the Atlantic Is interested In the result
OF the Suburban, as 1t is the greatest
race of the American turf today, ana
always brings out the highest class In
the 3-year-old and older divisions. Los
Angeles followers of the ponies are IN
terested more than ordinarily because
Montgomery, which won the Burns
and California handicaps last winter
and was raced It Santa Anita in the
closing weeks of the meeting, will go
to the post to try for glory and the
teed offering as the Hildreth candi-
date. Although Montgomery Is the
only Santa Anita racer named to go to
the post, half 81 dozen others are ell
gible and one or more may be added at
the last moment.
The Suburban has succeeded the
American Derby as the greatest race
of the year on the American turf. 1t
will have a guaranteed value of $25, 900
and will be worth $4,000 to the owner
of the winning horse. It Is one and one
quarter miles and is for 3-year-olds and
upwards. The stake was established
in 1884, when 1t was won by Gen. Mon
roe. Since then such great horses as
Pontias, Troubador, Raceland, Saliva
tor, Montana. Henry of Navarro, Ben
Brush, Imp, Kinley Mack, -lcedo. Gold
Heels, Africander, Hermis, Beldame,
Go Between and Nea1on have won 1t.
Go Between, the great horse that
John Shields brought to Los Angeles
last winter to prepare for a hard sum-
mer campaign at New York and after
wards sold to Phil Chinn, won the race
in 1906 Nealon, bred at Barney Schrie-
ber's stud in Missouri and raced as d
2-year-old and 3-year-old on the Pa
cific coast, won 1t last year, beating
Montgomery, which raced at Santa
Anita last winter. Nealon and Mont
gomery are eligible this year, but 1t Is
probable that Nealon will not start.

opponents, at which times his punch
has startled those at ringside, who pre-
viously had refused to credit him with
anything that resembled wallop.
He will have a distinct advantage
over Lauder in that he Is taller and has
longer reach, while his punch is
sitter and more in evidence. Few fans
will believe that Lauder has anything

while Lauder has whipped more promi-

to stay off of. as the boys are too evenly

Danny Webster always has been pop

months, and Is matched with a young
wonder from San Francisco whom re-
