Mrs. harrington tried to peer over his
shoulder to catch glimpse of the
horses who were nearing the stretch.
Its very kind of you, indeed she
answered him alsentmindedly

She offered no resistance. She was

husband during life under the name

after comforting with Mat Donovan,
the trainer. decides to secretly con-
tinue ownership of the stable under
the old name and live near the track.
Her sister. Myrtle, and her tiance,
Ralph Woodhurst, whose father Is OPP
posed to the race track, are interrupt
ed in their lovemaking by Janet Stir
ling, who annoys Ralph by referring to
him as model young man. Donovan
arrives in quest of Mrs Darlington
and BERTHE Ainsworth tries unsuccess-
fully to humiliate him. Mrs. Barring
ton returns from an auto ride with
Mr. Sanderson. John Garrison. a rich
miner, a friend of two weeks standing.
proposes to the widow. Wildtire's
chances Of winning the Ocean stakes
on the morrow are being discussed
when Or. Woodhurst. the race track
reformer. joins them unexpectedly. and
Mrs. harrington has nm uncomfortable
time getting rid of him. Chappy Ras-
ter. the eS9tistic jockey who is to ride
Wildfre, calls on Mrs. harrington to
see 1.-THE owner of the John Duffy sta
ble." John Duffy, bookmaker. who
is believed by most people TO be the
owner of the stable, has won the en-
nifty Of Garrison. who threatens to
"break" him. Ralph secretly stakes il
large sum on Wildtire and while at the
track is met-by Myrtle Mrs. Barring
ton puts in an appearance after they
leave and tells Chappy Raster how to
run winning race. The jockey then
meets Duffy. whom he thinks is the
real owner of Wildfire. and agrees to
win only II a handkerchief Is waved
from the stable window. Bud, the sta.
bic boy. overhcars these instructions
and informs the widow, who decides
to defeat Duffy's object. When the
race starts she manages to keep his at
tention away from it.

fash it came to her how she might
save the race. Deity, almost blindly,
she snatched the handkerchief from
his pocket and waved it wildly over
the booklets shoulder, who. with low
cred face ana eyes. was searching for
her lips.
A roar from the crowd told her that
Chappy had seen the signal and WAS
urging Wildlire to win. For the brief
est space she remained quietly in the
arms Of the dcluded bookmukcr.
With sudden strength born Of anger
and insulted w0munhoOd she fought
herself free from his loathSome en-
brace and with all her might struck
him full in the face with clinched fist.
You beast, You brute" she Shrieked.
The force of the blow had staggered
Duffy. Breathlcss with fear and anger
he cried, What do You meant"
In widest exuliation she faced him
and in voice pitched high with emo
ton she cried: "Wildtirc wins. That's
what mean. And you didn't kiss me
you didn't. you didn't
Then the StTuln sHdppcu anu SUE
sank into the chair by the desk and
laying her lead on her arms, cried us
only happy woman can cry for joy.
Duffy sneaked out of the stable with
or. looking back.
The winning Of the Ocean stakes by
Wildfre was one of the most popular
victories of the season. Chappy was
highly elatCd over his success. Dressed

cording to instructions he had bet 81

With her winnings he sent her note
transmitting the startling information
that Mrs Darlington owned Wildiirc.
Bud had met Chuppy after the race
to tell him what lie thought Of him for
being party to the plot. They com.
pared notes and began an investigation
OH their own account. 1t was not long

before they heard the story which
Duffy was spreading industriously that
Mrs. harrington owned the Duffy
stable.
Duffy. foled and beaten, had left the
stable vowing vengeance upon the
widow for the loss of his small for
tune and the blow which she had
given him. He realized that IL DR..
Woodhurst ever knew that Mrs Bar
rington was interested in racing sta
BILE he would break the match at once.
Duffy tried to reach the doctor at his
home by telephone. but received no
reply to n constant ringing Of the bell.
At the dinner table TO his companions
he related the story Of Garrison being
i'm love with her and buying n horse
to beat the favorite, which she owned.
BY hints and innuendoes he started
the news, but did not tell why Garri-
son had bought the horse and that he
had schcmcd to have the race thrown.
Mrs. Darlington appeared at the din
ner table that evening rs serene and
beautiful MS ever. She had hurried
home Immediately after the episode in
the trainers quarters and locked her
self in her room for an hour. When
she rejoined her friends she was in
full command of herself, as she
thought, for any emergency. However,
many incidents were to happen in the
few short hours before the lights of
her; home would be turned out
After dinner Bud brought Mrs. Bar
ringtDn Il note from Donovan.
Seating herself ut her desk, Mrs. Bar
rlrgton read: -
Have Il swell offer for Wildfire, but
must see you before closing sale. That
race today has sent our prices up to
the rafterS. VIII be over To see you

TO give him the wrong steer. but he
wouldn't stand for it. Look out for

I'LL smiled in self flattery.
E,sa6z You're right" answered
CYS2YS Duffy, turning his head to
catch glimpse of the horses still ut
the post. Come over here, won't
you:" he begged
"Oh, Mr. Duffy" she futtered.
Just to oblige me. got Il splendid
reason" he urged, with smile.
"Oh, very WELL" she acquiesced,
moving to his side. "And now WHAT"
she begged. leaning toward him.
locking into her eyes and in Il voice
laden with the deepest meaning. he
answered her. Anything you like"
Then tell me who is going to win
this racer" she asked, anxiety almost
betraying her.
The query was not what Duffy )had
expected, but he felt that he would
have to humor her. She had under
stood what he intended to convey and
was only playing with him
There's nothing to it but Jackdaw,"
he told her.
II thought Wildfre was the favor
ite"
'She is, but Jackdaw will wine just
the same" .
This was the last blow to SKATER her
hopes What Bud had told her was all
true. The favorite was to be beaten,
not because she was not the best entry.
but In the interests of blacklegging
bookmakers. And John Garrison was
one Of them. 1t could not be true. lie,
Of all men, to associate with such Il
degrading crew as, she thought. were
leagued against her.
rs Mr.. Garrison as sure as you
are?" she almost whispered.
Duffy was standing with his back to
the window with his arms out
stretched. his palms resting OH the sill.
He appeared to be hiding the racers
from her. At her question she realized
that he could implicate her friend in
the deal and pay OFF the score of the
last encounter. He felt that she would
never speak to Garrison again after
hearing Of his crookedness. Had she
glanced into his face or caught sight
of him biting his lips To keep himself
from betrayal she would have realized
that he was lying.
Elated at his success. he answered
81 should say he is! Why, he's got 1t
all framed up. That's the reason he
bought Jackdaw this morning. lie
can't lose. | tell you"
Mrs. harrington grew faint when she
heard Of the treachery Of Garrison ms
narrated by nuify. Again she heard
the cry, They're Off, A mutlled roar
swept over the field from the grand
stand. Steadily 1t grew into cheers as
Jackdaw swept TO the front.
:They're Off this time for fair" cried
Duffy. "ln less than couple Of min
utes II will be all over" lie watched
the horses for a moment kecnly, His
plans were worked out to perfection.
Chappy was riding according to the or
ders he had received.

The Change-of- Date Resolution.

1t Is to be hoped that the proposal Of
six-year presidential term will not
actually block the final consideration
at this session of the joint resolution
changing the date of the Inauguration
There is no likelihood that Congress will
seriously entertain at this time the single
six-year term proposition. The coun-
try Is In the midst of a presidential
campaign unparalleled for factioual
intensity. and an attempt to begin the
process of changing the Constitution
on so vitality important a matter as the
presidential tenure and right Of re-
election would be stubbornly resisted,
with the result of indefinitely pro-
longing the session of Congress There
Is. however. no such opposition to the
change-of-date proposal 1t is popular
with very large majority Of the
members OF both houses, and II brought
to q vote today would undoubtedly be
passed far beyond the two-thirds point
required In the case Of a constitutional
amendment. and would receive the rati-
flying votes of a SUFFICIENT number Of
state legislatures in time to affect the
next presidential change. II would be
possible to follow the change-o date
amendments later with another short

gress, addressed itself at once to the
Investigation of the whole wool question.
and its report is now in the hands OF
Congress. 1t does not, Of course, bind
Congress, which may accept or reject 1t
deal Of important information as to the
wool industry everywhere. and on that
account is entitled to consideration.
The democratic leaders, after assisting
in the creation of the tariff board, turned
against IT, They refused TO take It's
work into account in the preparation OF
the wool schedule for which they are
now responsible. They used their own
figures. which they considered SUFFICIENT.
The source of those figures Is not known
to the public.
1t is for the republicans to give some
expression to the tariff boards work. not
by permitting the board to name new
wool rates, for that is the province OF
Congress alone. but by citing the board 8
investigations, and drawing upon them IN
debate so that the country may be ad-
vised of their full scope and value.
This is the proper course, even II de-
bate is all that may be expected from
this Congress. 1t looks now as If the
Payne law. unchanged, might be a lead
ing issue in the presidential campaign
Two years ago the country in the con-
gressional elections voted for revision,
not of the wool schedule alone, but Of
other schedules. The Payne law was
condemned all along the line. But the
wool schedule, for the reasons given, Is
now in the forefront of the tariff agta-
ton and the republicans In Congress
should show their hands by bill dealing
with 1T in the light of their fullest in
formation.
