"Well, what does this mean? Run away
from all the glory and applause"
"We've run away for good, SAM" l
told him. Mrs. Herman has begun to
sense the fact that racing to-day is built
upon rotten foundation; she sees it
must totter and fall. We're through"
4You mean Vivandiere-"
4She doesn't race again-until racing
is cleansed.
"Give you fifty thousand for her!
Write the check now," snorted Sam.
l shook my head.
"She's not for sale. Some day, when
racing comes back, Sam, you'll have the
privilege of watching her run; but-not
now"
"Gone crazy?" he snapped.
Become sane, said |. "Sam, all my
folks spent their lives raising thorough
bred racers, useless for anything save
sport I'm going back to Kentucky and
raise animals that are useful. Racing is
great sport, but-no business. It's hard
for Kentuckian to admit that; but
it's So"
"And we're going back to Kernan's
Farm, cried Roberta
"Where the folks is honest and the
horses is honest and the grass is honest
and the trees is honest and the liquor
glory be!-but the liquor is honest!" cried
Jerry.
For, of course, he knew that he'd go
with us. Sam stared at us.
"Sale," said he, "for pudd headed
jay that'd throw away chance to make
a fortune with the best race-mare in
trainin'-I say, for pudd'n headed
chump, you sure have brains Or your
wife has. Racing-it's at it's glory now;
but the handwriting is on the wall, and
you are wise to read it,.
He rose and walked to the telephone.
@May I?' he asked.

Younger Brother Held Down
BY Attitude of His Elders

If younger brother ever amounts
to anything it is in spite of his older
brothers. The treatment he receives
at their hands while he is young
makes it almost impossible for him to
meet and talk to people when he Is
grown. They find fault with every
thing he does, and bring their com.
bined influence to bear in an effort
to get him to run away from home.
The result is that he keeps out of
their presence, and since they are so
down on him he presumes that other
people are also down on him, says a
writer.
He gets to looking and acting like
a homeless hound that is hated by
everybody in the neighborhood. The
poor hound has had so many rocks
thrown at him by men, women and
children that he has quit looking foI
n friend. When he sees anyone com.
ing he goes off at full speed, and gives
a yelp, as if he had already been hit.
When the younger brother sees one or
more of his older brothers he turns
off and goes in another direction.
The oldest boy in the family de-
serves little credit even if he wins
wealth and fame, but If the younger
brother ever reaches the point where
he can earn a dollar a day, he should
be crowned with bays.

Emergence Of Arabia as a
Separate Nation Is Climax
OF a Century of RevoIts

The sudden emergence of Arabia as
separate unit in the great war is Il
continuation of a series of revOlts
against Turkish control since 1878,
when it was annexed by that nation
for the second time in its uneasy his
tory. From 1882 to 1908 there have
been eight revOlts. Its happiest days
were those of the pre-Islalnic period
during which it was powerful enough
to defeat the Romans in 24 Il. c., and
to resist all other foreign invasion un-
til 522 A. D., when it was conquered by
the Abyssinians.
Mecca was compared by Burton to
Bath, but has been likened by other
writer's to "Florence without beauty"
1t has had full share of flood, fire
and sword, but is said never to have
suffered from any serious epidemic.
This seems the more remarkable be-
cause the city lies at the lowest level
of a valley which must be a ccsspOOl,
and the sewage, having no outlet, per-
cOlateS into the wells. The immunity,
ascribed by Mohammedans to miracu-
lous interposition of providence on be-
half Cf "Mecca the InviolabIe," is due
to the dry climate, the fact that most
of the inhabitants have the fine physi-
cal vigor needed for a long journey,
and the absence of destitutiOn. The
thousands seen begging are "beggarS
1T a fair" reaping the harvest of
wealth brought by pilgrims.-London

spoonfuls of sugar and very little

this difficulty is overcome.
