Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch-
ison a young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad-
mired. She married fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchison
(Kan.) Globe.

his prediction, the new partnership
book had put up 2 to on Applejack
while the other books were laying a
shade less than that price. A moment
afterwards he noticed that the part
nership bookmaker rubbed out the
price against Applejack, announcing
that he had all he wanted of it. Floyd
knew by this sign that Camp had bet
enough of his own money to win out
the money that was in the book. Walk
ing quietly through the ring, he
stopped long enough before number
of books to make several good-sized
wagers on Lemon Squeezer. He al
ready had given Tony $1,000 to wager
on the same horse.
Thomas Camp, besides getting all
the money to be had in his own book,
also had wagered hundreds on Apple
jack in other books about the ring, and
was surprised to note when he re-
turned from the paddock, where he had
just saddled his horse and given final
instructions to the jockey, that the
price against Lemon Squeezer, his own
horse, had not gone up in the betting.
He was unaware that large amount
of money bet by Floyd had forced the
price down. He had no time to inves-
tigate, however, as the horses already
were at the post, ard he hurried to a
point of vantage from which he could
view the race.
Across the track in the infield Tony
the Tout and Hank Harlin, owner of
Applejack, stood talking together. Doc
Floyd, watching the pair through his
fieldglasses from the grandstand, saw
Tony pass u small package OF book
makers tickets 20 Harlin.
They're OFF" came the buzzing cry
of the crowd in chorus as the barrier
over at the three-quarter pole whizzed
up and field of eight horses leaped
forward. The blue and white striped

front, while next in order and close
behind came Lemon Squeezer. both
horses running easily. Before they
had gone a quarter OF the distance it
could be seen that the race was be-
tween the first two horses, and the
others were strung out in single file.
In the stretch came Applejack, run
ming without effort, with Lemon
Squeezer within safe call. A smile of
contentment rested upon the face of
Tom Camp, down at the end Of the
grandstand, while Floyd's counten-
ance wore worried look and young
Hopkins was shivering in the excite
ment of lost hope.
There, and 1 listened to you and
your tout he said to Floyd as he saw
Applejack winning easily.
why, it's nothing more than pro-
cession," muttered Floyd. And /
would have staked my right eye on
Tony. Why, that boy on Applejaok is
racing him to death to win and the
other fellow don't seem to be trying"
"Applejack wins!" shouted the
croWu as tne piue anu Wnite SlrlpOs
passed under the wire good length
in front of Lemon Squeezer.
That's one time that I'm the goat,
muttered Doc Floyd to Hopkins. I'm
sorry steered you wrong, and will get
you even. Although l guess I'm in a
few thousand deeper than you are,

am sorrier for that than losing my

The two men, drinking large glasses
of wine at the bar, paid slight atten-
tion to a sudden cheering and commo-
tion on the outside.

Floyd looked around upon the
smiling face of Tony.

break your head with this bottle" he
said in low but dangerously threaten
ing tones.
whats the matter, pal? Amt you
wise to what's happened?"
mo, what is it?" broke in young
Hopkins, anxiously.
why, Applejack was disqualified
for not having up enough weight.
Somehow or other Hank Harlin was
careless in putting his lead pads to
make the extra weight along with the
saddle, and the jockey lost ten pounds
of lead while he was at the post. Care
less of Hank, wasn't it? He's been
looking for chance to double cross
Camp and fell for my little scheme
when told him how much money we
would bet for him on the other horse" "
"And then we've won in the book be-
sides the outside bets?" exclaimed
young Hopkins, suddenly realizing that
Tony the Tout had made good.

To Tony Floyd told the proposition
of Camp as Hopkins had told 1t to
him, and upon hearing the proposition
Tony let out long laugh.
why, it's just a plain game OF
double cross" asserted Tony. He'll
break the book and get your $4,000
in one race and then tell you it was all
a mistake and make you believe it,
and then he'll ask you to dig up anoth-
er $4,000 to get even with. Why my
kid brother wouldn't bite on that old
hook"
"Yes, do you suppose l didn't know
all that?" broke in Floyd with mo-
ton for the talkative Tony to shut up.

can turn the tables and get Camps

times this season and always gets
away with it. He's got regular crew

agreed to meet in q secluded spot on
the grounds Just before the race in
which Camp had announced that q trick
was to be turned.
Are you sure OF that tout?" was the
anxious inquiry of Hopkins when he
and Floyd finally met in consultation,
Yes, he'd lose both legs sooner than
throw me down." was the reply. Now,
what does Camp say?"
HE says he has instructed the book
to take in all the bets they can get on
Applejack. He has arranged with the
owner of that one to lose and he will
win with his own horse, Lemon
Squeezer. He explains that it might
be suspicious to the judges if he didn't
win this race"

that he intends that Applejack is to
win and his horse will be beaten out

"Yes, he said l could do that" as
