CHAPTER VII.

have now come to the period i'm
mediately preceding the running of
the Derby, and upon the events of
that day must dwell with some par
ticularity for the reason that they
form very important part of this
narrative. Mrs. Dace was to go with me.
After torturing me by week of 81
lence and suspense, l had been
received back first upon probation,
and soon later. more or less uncondi-
tionally. 1t would do no good to go
into the details of our readjustment Of
our former relations. There are some
things which may be expressed by
cold Ink, but you have to see the hui
man countenance with its lightning
play of expression, and hear the hui
man voice in all its wondrous infiec-
tions in order to form correct mental
picture of certain scenes. But on the
whole her restoration of me was both
womanly and gracious. I came to her
a kneeling and penitent sufferer; she
touched me upon the forehead and |
arose healed My spirits revived in
stantly in the sunshine OF her forgive
ness and l renewed my worship.
The race was to be the out-of-doors
social as well as sporting event of the
season. I was an admirer of the beau
tiful. Next to a beautiful woman, a
thoroughbred horse appealed to me
as the most perfect of the worlds
creatures. And although ! had never
bet upon them. l had kept myself
well posted upon their performances
through the medium OF the press.
Bruce, however, was an enthusiast.
Coming in contact as he did with
many of the more prominent horse
owners and turfmen, he generally had
store Of more or less reliable In
side information as to both the run
ners and the imps who rode them.
Consequently I was not surprised
when upon the second day before the
great race was to be run he came to
me In state of whispering excite
ment.
Say, old man, l have got the best
thing that is ever going to happen
In this world, and of course I want
you to be in on 1t. l wouldn't trade
1t for Aladdin's lamp. You know that
Eagle Boy horse that we have been
watching for the last year? Well,
he has developed into simon pure
world beater. ! got this on the dead
Q. T. from his owner who would break
his arm to do me favor. That horse
is smashing all records by moonlight,
and even the railbirds haven't got on
to it yet He is going TO run away
from that bunch like a locomotive
leaves a mud turtle. And the odds
will be long against him. I am going
to plunge, and advise you to do the
same. But If you dare breath 1t I'll
poison you"
| was not startled. AS matter of
fact for some time past | had had my
eyes on this great son of Black Eagle
as much the best horse of the lot;
therefore the news of his midnight
performances merely corroborated my
own Judgment. l answered in an off
hand manner:
81 rather look to see him win my
self. But you know l do not bet and
therefore cannot take advantage of
the opportunity. But / thank you just
the same for the information"
Bruce's countenance fell That's

CHAPTER Viii.

I know of few things more uncom-
Portable than for a man to pose be-
fore the woman he loves in the garb
Of sage. and being suddenly I'M
yelled to realize that he stands re-
vealed to her as naked fool. That
had been asinine enough to air my
opinions to her as self-styled expert
upon such an impossible proposition
as the winner of horse race CALLED
me to the marrow. My humiliation
was all the more complete for the
reason that in this. the first financial
transaction in which l had advised
her, she had come to grief. No one
knew better than | the unforgivable-
ness of my offense. Man may lead
woman astray in love and be wept
over through the darkness of many
a night; he may counsel her out OF
her hope of hereafter and yet die
with her arms around his neck; he
may separate her from the world and
still reign as her king, but when he
separates her from her pocket-book
he becomes rascal or a clown in her
eyes. Just how Mrs. Dace made me
know that / had lost caste in her
analysed, but in some mysterious way
she saw to 1t that knew it. Perhaps
it was by the almost imperceptible
arching of her eyebrows when
CHANGED to express my views upon
some matter; perhaps it was in the
occult way some women have of max
ing you uncomfortable when they
wish you to be SO without discernable
physical manifestations on their part.
and perhaps 1t was partially due to
my own sensitiveness upon the sub
ject. More than likely 1t was COM
pound of the three. Be that as 1t may.
I became almost timid in her pres
ence; and knowing that this would
never do, grow desperate. I had never
believed that man could retain
woman's love unless he could com
mand her respect as to his mentality,
and l, therefore. determined to rein
state myself to my former position at
any cost. Clearly the only way I
could do this would be to reimburse
her for her loss in so delicate man
ner that she could neither take offense
nor refuse. ! pondered over the mat
ter for about ten days and determined
to take a plunge. sink or swim.
transferred what money had in the
savings bank to my overdrawn check
ing account.
had been watching the steady rise
of a certain stock upon the exchange
for some months with secret covetous-
ness. 1t pertained to a vast system Of
underground railways which were to
honeycomb the depths beneath the
city. The franchise had been secured
through political sorceries. and the
capital to float the enterprise was be
ing raised by public investment. AS
steadily as the mercury mounts under
a summer sun the stock had advanced
point by point from a merely nominal
sum until it had reached thirty cents
on the dollar. The more l pondered
upon the yearly increasing value OF
such a system as the overhead streets
became more congested, the more
became convinced that public rumor
would be verified and that the stock
would soon be at par. Without con-
flding in any one except my broker,
and binding him to secrecy, l mar
gined a considerable quantity of it and
watched its daily rise with heart
that mounted as steadily as my for
tunes. A week later ! strolled over
to see Mrs. Dace.
