She was at the neck of Marigold, crack
FLY of the year and best horse on the
track to-day, SO wiseacres said. But the
real wise ones-the handicappers-they
knew. They had not known quite how
good Marigold was going to be, or they'd
have given her more weight As it was,
she carried five pounds less than VIVIAN
deere and A hundred yards from the
wire Vivandiere caught her.
SIDE by side, neck and neck, they
spurned the earth in the final dash for

Thirty yards from the wire Marigold

jock had her in hand. But The race was

sported the blood of all the Waters and
the blood of mighty Lexington could not
be denied By an eyelash. perhaps! But
still-a winner! The blue and gold of the
Leland stable had won its first big race
in half dozen years! Vivandiere ruled
off the track, had been reinstated and
come back. l, ruled off the track had

My eyes were misty as l saw Murphy

Past the outstretched hands that would

Vivandiere- past old Soren who from

well done!"-past every one that knew

NO; it's truth, and you know it.
Think Of Grantham-thin of all the
crookedness that the greed for sudden
riches caused there Think of all--Sale,

Well, there was reason. l didn't want
my husband to be known merely as the
owner of string of horses. / didn't

pleasure-at first. When he ceased to

him He bet on horses, then on stocks

betting was Indifferent to him. He was

1T was right that Vivandiere should be

above all this right looms the figure of

the suspicious, the rumors, the lies, the
receptions of it ALL Racing without bet

my head. Later, perhaps; but first
racing must cease. My wife had many
times limited her feelings to me, but never
had she spoken out before. And never
before had l let myself listen to the word
of truth that spoke in my own heart, that

faced what had always known: the fact
that without racing there would be no
race gambling. The sport of kings had
