, is fine type of Southern gentleman
who has inherited from his forebears
an instructive knowledge of and love
for the horse. Things have gone bad
ly with the major in recent years,
thru generosity and foolish invest
mcnts, but he has yet one hope OF
retrieving his fortunes-his peerless
thoroughbred, Miss Minta. AS the
time draws near for the race, the
major and his daughter, Betty, feel
more and more confident and happy.
Miss Minta is in the pink of condition.
And then, out Of a clear sky, comes a
bolt which threatens to destroy all
their hopes-a reform wave strikes
the Kentucky town, and racing is
among the objects Of attack. The
movement is headed by young min
lister, Rev. Thos. Hayden, pastor of
the majors church. He has lately ar
rived from New England with a Puri-
tan conscience and an utter inability
to adjust his ideas to the traditions
of an old and settled Southern COM
munitv. While mentally debating the
matter he gets an inspiration. AL
though racing is prohibited in the
state, it would be possible, he calcu-
lates, to enter Miss Minta in an East
ern event. Thinking much of Betty
who has ceased to speak to him, and
of the troubles of the major. who,
broken financially, is now his bitter
enemy, he draws his savings from
the bank. and, with the cid Of an old
friend Of the majors, sends Miss
Minta east. The major, however, is
unaware who furnished the money.
Miss Minta wins the big event. the
majors fortunes are re-established.
the minister wins Betty, and the
brings peace and recon-
Citation to the trio.

One of these villages is Roeux, on the

in the Hindenburg line, just to the
west of Queant.
AS a result Of steady fighting during

to two isolated posts, where bombing

similar situation exists in ROeuX.
