the stable she had kept q secret, only
her trainer. Donovan. sharing il with
her Myrtles future father-in-law was
at that very moment fighting for the
passage of the anti-betting bill in the
Albany legislature. His son had been
reared in the strictest fashion. If the
elderly reformer learned that the sister
of his sons fiancee was the owner of a
racing stable he would never consent
to the marriage of his son.
The stable was now on paying basis
and the widow could indulge in the
love of such fnery as is dear to the
heart of every woman
Clasping Myrtle in her arms. she
kissed her fondly, saying:
THE house is simply lovely, my
DEAR
Sanderson and Garrison both seized
chair for her and placed them side by
side. Each hoped the widow would
favor him with smile and the ac-
ceptance of the particular piece of lawn
furniture he had selected.
Mrs. harrington laughed softly at
the apparent rivalry of the two men
and to show no discrimination took an
other seat
Fred Sanderson was great lover of
almost a mania Being a man of great
wealth, he could ride his hobby to its
limit Leaning over Mrs. Barrington's
shoulder, he said, looking at Garrison,
who stood on the opposite side of the
ehair:. j.
The ride blackwell, l guess 1t was
bad, Talk about your horses!'
I'm for horses every time" chal-
lenged Garrison.
Turning to Mrs. Darlington, Ralph
asked, (Which do you PREFER" 800.
From where 1 sit it looks like a dead
heat was her answer.
Undaunted, Garrison returned with
the question::
but, Mrs. Darlington, a country
road in the cool of a summer after
noon and two really good horses-could
anything be better than that?"
Lively chatter held the group, when
Hortense announced to Mrs. Barring
ton:
"A man am come who says he de-
sires to converse about the draperies
for der house at Allendale."
He wants to see me. I'm to choose
my own colors You'll excuse me, won't
you?" begged Myrtle. entering the
house.
Ralph joined her at the door.
! Me tooa I'm interested in this.
$50 am l." cried Janet
Mrs harrington nodded to the young
people and said. Don't decide finally
till I've seen them. will you, dear?'
Take my advice. Have the body a
deep red with maroon wheels and have
the bonnet harmonic with the ton
neau," laughed Sanderson.

Gee, I'd like to pass that guy one

BERTHE smiled at the recollection of

Sanderson had been trying to per-

The determination had aroused her

Donovan admired her grit. .Bue

At $3.50 in the afternoon a large

grounds to witness the ball game be-
tween teams representing the
Evansville Grange and the town of
Albion. Considerable rivalry has for
long time existed between these
teams and they came to Pullman
with the idea of having a scrap to a
finish. The game was disappointing
from the fact that the Changers were

pitching of Jennings, the Albion slab
artist, coupled with the air-tight
fielding Of the men behind him, made
the contest an interesting one from
the spectators standpoint.
Jennings pitched a game that
would do credit to a league team,
and shut the Changers out without a
hit or run, and only one man was al
lowed to reach first base, that being
due to an inexcusable error on the
part Of Albion's shortstop, the only
error made by that team Jennings
struck out II men and walked none.
Only two balls pitched by him were
batted out of the diamond and these
were both easy outs. Evansville
played fair baseball until the third
inning, when they became discour-
aged at the string of strikeouts reg
