"YOu know as well as | do, Pat" she
said slowly, "that there never was one of
the boys who thought of the rainy day.
Joe never saved any money He didn't

It's such little while, Pat, and you know
I've never had any one else. Amt you

old times?"
"Sure." His keen eyes shifted away
from her face, overfushed beneath the
rouge, and stealthily viewed the ring

Mangan's eyebrows lifted "He ought

"Nose. He's sure thing, Pat"
"Maybe," said Pat Mangan
The doubt in his tone struck her for an
instant, but under cover of her purse she
slipped her money into his hand.
"Here goes for luck, she tried to laugh,
but the laugh quavered perilously near to
sob.

of the last time she had wagered with
Pat, the May-time afternoon at Churchill
Downs when Joe, victorious from his New
Orleans encounter with O'Malley, had
played like boy out of school. The
thought of Joe Gates as the vivid eager,
restless champion of that time-the man
whom she had loved in spite of all his faults,
perhaps because of some of them-blotted
out the newer picture of him that she had
been striving to draw from her knowledge
of his weakness and his WEAKNESS. The
memory filmed Sallys eyes with hot tears
of sorrow. Lest any one might glimpse
her emotion, she slipped into the nearest
seat to the stairway and gazed outward
over the track.
Like an ochre ribbon it girdled the
green, an oval of promise that set her
heart beating faster and dried her brim-
ming tears as she stared upon it's smooth
surface. Dimly she grew aware of the
thrill of excitement that permeated the
crowd. Bit by bit she began to pick out
the familiar spots and the familiar faces

pages had been wont to stand; but, scat

silenced her. Her hands clutched at her
purse until her knuckles stood out white
against the redness of the skin. Her ewes.
straining over the field, grew dark as the
blue of Sir Johns rider crept up on
the darker colors of Lenox's boy. At the
quarter-mile they were abreast
"Sir John-oh, Sir John!" May Durgan
gasped.
"For Gods sake, shut up!" SALLY
snapped at her.
Over beyond the green swept the horses,
so close together that no one on the stand
might distinguish the leader until the turn
suddenly disclosed Lenox near the fence,
with Sir John and Wickiup crowding be-
side him. Outside them bay horse, with
rider in cherry and white, took a swift
squirt that turned the screws on the
breathless waiting of the Watchers
"Burnaby!" some one on the stand
shouted. "Come on, Burnaby!'
ooh, no, no, MOI" Sally moaned. Her
lips moved voiceessly as the cherry and
white spurred up toward the blue and
orange, toward the green and black. A
ong-forgotten phrase of Joe's about
Ellis--"He'd steer his own mother
crooked d"-came to her, dragging with it
gnawing fear of the treachery of the
mans advice. Under its presence her
need of success became whip that beat
upon her brain. Sharpened by May Dur
gan's words, by all the old recolections
of Joe Gates, her desire for the man who
had been her own through the days of her
youth became a physical pain. Il must
win, her spirit groaned. 81 must win
for Joe." From some long-locked closet
of her heart she lifted prayer:
"Oh, God, let me win, and III be good!7
DOWN the last stretch came the riders,
the blue just ahead of the black and
green, the orange of Wickiup abreast
Tenner, and little away from them,
and just before them, the cherry and
white of Burnaby Confused cries
smote Sally's ears. A roar of anger,
sweeping over the crowd caught her
on its crest, only to leave her stranded
on a coast of fear. Blank terror rose like
a wall before her vision as the riders went
by. Blindly she strove to see the finish,
sighting nothing but straining backs and
flying heels. But she heard the cry of the
crowd, "Burnaby!' and went down under
it, not knowing or caring that she sobbed
like child.
SALLY May Durgans sharp call
brought her back to realization. "How
much did you lose?"
"Oh, not so very much, she lied
bravely, intuition and experience inform-
ing her that May Durgan would insist
upon trying to lend her money unless she
forced her to believe she didn't need it.
"Im all right now"
She braced herself to meet Mays in
sistent questions, holding up beneath the
trying good-bys the stout woman forced
upon her. But her carmined face was
drawn with the pain of despair as she
went down the steps, stumbling through
the betting-ring toward the train-shed
Once she thought that she heard some
one say her name; but she hastened
from possible speech with any one who
knew her.
Underneath the sign that proclaimed
the evenings dance she saw Ellis, goating

had man@uvered for Burnaby An inn

some thought of the time when she and
Joe had led the riotous crowd of youthful
dare-devils. Her very nearness to them,
beyond the gulf of failure and poverty
that she might not bridge emphasized her
misery and kept her obivious of the races
before the Merchants.
The raucous cry of vender of ginger
pop, pausing in front of her, reused her
from her memories. She looked up to
deny his plea, then laughed sharply.
"Well, of all things!' she gave him
greeting "If it amt Kennedy"
The vender touched his cap with ges-
ture that suggested the touch of whip
against tall hat

said. "1t's fifteen years since | used to

FROM one of the upper rows stout
woman waddled down toward them. At
her coming the ginger-pop vender de-
parted with another lifting of his forefinger
to his cap-brim.
The stout woman, painting little from
her haste, held out her hands to Sally,
and kissed her on both cheeks before she
spoke. Her worldly-wise eyes appraised
Sally swiftly, then smiled with flash of
something like fun.
"You must have come out of the attic
closet" she said.
For moment Sally could not speak.
Then, "May Durgan," she said, and
patted the stout womans bejeweled hand
as if to assure herself of the reality.
She moved over to give the other place,
staring at her the while as if she feared her
disappearance should she let her go from
sight. The stout woman gave her one
sided grin.
"How's the luck, Sally?" she asked,
with an odd infection of kindliness.
"Rotten,' said Sally.
"Thats what l was afraid of when |
