LUCULLITE MAKES GOOD

Nor did LucIllte do much in his 3-year- old trials. In fact he was something of a flivver. But Hildreath was patient with him-and in. 1913 the brown colt took rank as one of the great horses in America if not the greatest
 Nine first, three seconds and two thirds were Lucillites portion-and in his tri- umphs he took tie measure of the great est horses in training and cracked or tied one track record after another. All through the summer he was unbeatable and continued so until early in the fall, when he was kicked at the post and in jured to such an extent that it affected him in his later engagements.
 Hildreath paid $l2.O0O for Purchase, a most cratic performer as 2-year-old. Every enc thought Sam had blundered horribly in Judgment. But in 1919 the 3-year-o1d Purchase won nine victories Tn Il starts, and added nearly sS3,000 worth of purses tc the Hildreth bank roll.
 So great a horse did Purchase become that S30C, ,0O0 was bid for hin-the greatest sum Of money ever offered for a horse in the history of the world. But Hildreth to the amazemcnt of the thoroughbred followers, refused because he figured that Purchase in future winnings and stud fees would earn even more for him. Mad Halter, the S-year-old son of Fair
 Play-Madcap was practically unheard of

 he turned him loose-and Mad Halter

apologized for lending him less than

times of such frantic needs. He could
not do any of the honorable, pleasant
things that one can do with money.
He had to do many of the dishonor-
able. loathsome things one without
money must do.
In his desperation Bayard's thoughts
reverted to his original rescuer, his
father. He never appealed to the old
man in vain. Bayard had often prom
ised himself the delight of sending
home big check as subtraction
from his venerable debt. But it was
promise easy to defer, in the face of
all the other temptations and oppor-
tunities. His father never pressed
him, never expected return of the
money he had been investing in the
boy. For a child is piece Of furni-

Daphne had watched Leila's little

an to woman, but no more than Il
healthy amount. for she liked Leila
and she was grateful to Leila for be-

being willing to. 1t was fine thing
for Leila to strip herself of her last
splendor to help an old father-in-law
pay the interest on mortgage on
house in another town. Daphne gave
Leila full need of applause for that.
What embitter' Daphne was that
it had to be Leila and not herself that
saved her father, and that Leila had
to do the deed by spending things she
had not paid for herself-ornaments

Leila had collected from life perhaps

was in lieu of work. AS soon as she
remembered that check she ran up to
her room and took it down from the
wall, ripped off the back of the frame
and removed the check from the mat.
She studied it and thought, "The
first money and the last" Then a
vigor and determination clenched all
her muscles in kind of lockjaw. She
came out of the spasm in tremor Of
hysterical faith. She spoke her
thought aloud in fury: 1T sha'n't be

was on his way to the pawnbroker's.
Leila was in his room. Old Wesley

him and put the check in his hand, ex-
planning what it was.
'It's all I ever earned, daddy, and I
want you to have it,"
He looked at it and smiled and tears
fairly shot out of his eyes. He patted
her hand between his and said:
"Why, honey, couldn't take your

When Lump-O Sugar heard this she a little hurt
for she and Peter Sweet Chocolate had always great

instead of Rose Bonbor, who had many Dcaux. And
indeed, that is exactly what Peter had to d. but
Rose had met him at the door and whcedled him into
asking her instead
