grip the floor hard, as though they
were depressing some dark emotion Of
evil thought.
Forty years ago this night Perry
was q happy man, for tomorrow be
was to marry the beautiful Miss Mel.
" Leroy, daughter Of the rector Of
st. Agnes.
But that great factor IN the events
Of a mans career, fate. willed other
wise, for only a few days before the
wedding was to take place the bride
to-be was stricken with fatal illness
and less than week later was laid
away in the village graveyard.
After the funeral Perry Fanchion
shut himself up, almost alone, in the
great house. Time moved on and PEG
pie forgot! One by one his friends
left him, until at last he stood alone, a
stranger in q stranger world!
About this time the poorer people,
the destitute Of the city. became aware
Of the fact that they had friend,
very good. mysterious friend, mys-
FERROUS because, try as they mights<and
did) they never could discover his
identity.
One time when a severe landlord
was about to turn q poor family out
Of the home they lived In, because
they were not able to pay the rent,
that family found the required amount
and q short note asking them to &C
cept the money as gift, by the fire
place. Several times incidents like
this occurred among the unfortunate,
but as to where these mysterious pres.
ents came from, or by whom present
ed, none could ever tell. But the chill
dren suspected Santa Claus Of having
d hand In the matter.
Tonight as Perry sat by the fire be
was very sad and very, very lonesome
The town clock struck ten. Perry
arose, donned a huge fur coat to
play his little act bravely. A worn
tired smile played around his usually
grim mouth as he thought Of the scenes
Of JOY and poverty he would witness
this night. He crossed the town WITH
rapid, nervous strides and entered I
little family burying ground. He was
gone for thirty minutes and when h
returned his face showed traces d
deep emotion.
'Good-night, sweetheart, I have wait
| ed forty years; surely the end canno
be tar distant |" he murmured as hl
softly closed the gate.

very secluded kind of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets of the
town, and attracted very little atten-

hardly ten people In the place that
knew the man or anything concerning

Yet there had been q time In the
life Of Perry Fanchion when he had
attracted great deal of attention,
and won the sympathy and pity Of
the whole town. That had been over

Harry Payne Whitney's light blue and
brown cap home in fourth place in the
Futurity last Saturday. won the Cham
payne Stakes. the feature OF tho pro-
gramme at the Belmont Park track yes
terday afternoon. lie was entered ut
the last minute. and after Straight For
ward n Mary Powell were scratched
he had little difficulty beating August
Belmont's Wood:rap. his only opponent.
The race was at seven furlongs and
the Whitney colt ran the distance In a
way that led hor.emen to declare he
would develop into a great distance
racer. He was much better than Wood
trap. and when the barrier went up
jumped into the lead. Jockey Schuttinger
gave him his head In the first furloig
and he opened up a gap OF a length.
From then until the finish he sped along
under a stout pull and maintained his
advantage until he had passed the
judges.
Although he did not do his best, he
travelled the course In 1 90 2-5. only
four-ffths Of a second behind the track
record established by John L. Madden's
Paris in 1914. After he had won ex-
perts declared that II he had been
pressed he would have beaten the old
figures.
