CHAPTER xxi.

We must now revert to what Mrs
Hudson did upon receipt Of her telegram

great events from trivial causes spranx.'
That lady is destined to be as much dis
turbed In monetary point Of view as
Mrs Bardell: but infinitely more to her
own advantage.
Mrs. Hudson was lounging pleasantly
enough In an armchair, reading the dur
nal literature Of her country In that
abode Of comfort, bliss, and intelligence.

domestic Of kilograms reached her. That
she was attired In morning coat, near
trousers, unimpeachable boots, and had a
cigar in her mouth, will scarcely astonfsh
the reader, who has probably already sur
missed that Silky Dallison represented that
lady.

His conference with the bookmaker was
short, and then they separated, both to

on the Two Thousand that afternoon /
was the extraordinary advance Of Corr

against him, be rose In the course Of the
day to be once more first favorite; reach
Ing very nearly 20 his original price Of

rooms Dallison was very eager In his
oilers to back the horse, while II might

RACE WAGERs IN INDIA
Natives Distinctly Novel Method OF
Choosing a Winner and
Making Bets.

The native of India wagers his
money according to the colors worn
by the jockeys and takes no heed of
the merits of the horses, or he will
back a horse ridden by his favorite
Jockey, no matter whether the ami
NAL is rank outsider or not.
His ideas of gambling, in fact,
are distinctly novel. Some of the
more wealthy Indians form rings
and back every horse in the race,
thus gaining the satisfaction of get
ting winner every time. 1t is
really only of late years that the ma
tive of India has become an habitual
gambler on the turf, and nowadays
the bulk of the betting of the vari-
Gus racing centers in India is done
by natives. Indeed, the authorities
are becoming somewhat concerned
about the growth of the betting
which takes place among Indian ma
tives, it being asserted that as many
as 30 lacs of rupees (about $780,
O00) is lost and won in the course Of
a season.
The ignorant masses have not a
great deal of actual money to wager,
but SO badly bitten are many of them
with the craze for betting at race
meetings that they frequently wager
what little property they possess on
a horse, and if they lose they simply
replace their loss b. stealing a
neighbours goods. The consequence
is that when the racing season comes
around the police are kept very busy
dealing with cases of petty larceny
and other crimes involving loss of
property.

WON'T BUY CHINESE PORK.

The complete failure to sell in

explanations from correspondents Of
the English newspapers. Says one
of them in the London Express: 81
have seen the conditions under
which pigs are bred in China. They
in semi-wild state, and, with the
chow-dogs they act as scavengers
not only in the filthy streets with
which China abounds, but along the
riverside and seashore. They live
on the rotten seaweed and on the
dead bodies of animals and human
beings which are frequently to be
seen floating down the rivers. l

China eating pork and l know for
fact that the men of the China
fleet would as soon eat the flesh OF
the chow-doys as that Of the pigs"

dixie AND THE WATERMAN.

Sir Charles Dixie, the English
statesman, is still one of the best
oarsmen to be found. He is very
popular at the riverside at Walton
and Shepperton and there is one
waterman who never forgets his
birthday. Regularly on the fourth
of September he manages to meet
Sir Charles somewhere or other and
wish him many happy returns of the
day. Sir Charles Dixie asked him
once how he came to have such a
wonderful memory for dates. The
man grinned. Eight years ago, sir,
when it was your birthday you gave
me a shilling to get drink with, so
l made note of it on the kitchen
nantelpiece, and" added the man
rehectively, ''now | come to think of
it, you have done the same thing

ScoLDED THE WRONG MAN.

A married couple stood looking
into shop window. A handsome
tailor-made dress took the ladyAs
fancy, and she left her husbands
side to examine it more closely.
Then she went back, to where he
had been standing and took his arm.
"You never look at anything l
want to look atp' she exclaimed.
"You don't care how | dress! You
don't care for me now! Why, you
haven't kissed me for three weeks 7"
Indeed, l am sorry. 1t is not
my fault, but my misfortunev!' said
the man.
Turning round, she looked at him
and gasped. She had taken the arm
of the wrong man.
