track it can just as well legaze the faro table and SLOT

OF right and wrong matter of whether it is right to
legalize gambling. the breeding of race horses de-,
pends upon the egazation of gambling the rearing of
race horses ought to be abandoned The printing of pav

The millions that the Jocky Club gets from the race
track dupes used in part to prevent the growth of sent
ment against it. The thousands given to the State Fair
is in the nature of and intended for bribe Its lavish
expenditure for advertising bid for the silence of the
country press Its policy is to shut the mouths of those
who could raise such storm of protest that not even
legislator elected by the of their money would dare
vote to continue its gambling privilege

A SINISTER INFLUENCE.

The ministers Of Ashland waged hard fight to pre-
vent the location of track at that place by the Ken
lucky Jocky Club and succeeded in having them locate
it few miles from that city, just the line in Greenup
county But still it is close enough to bring to that city

One reason why the daily newspapers of the State
are not opposing the track gambling is that many
of the of the daies stockholders in the Jocy
Club. They financially interested in the gambling
and matter of selfishness will not lift their voice
against it. But the daily newspapers are not the big in
fuence in Kentucky If the country press were to unite
in fight against the track gambling they could so
expose the thing that it would be abolished I do not

Right may be long time in asserting ITSELF but
or later the idea Of right will conquer The ppetuity
of our rests not with the gamblers but with
the rightthnking people. The principle of govern
ment is involved in the question Of what element shall
control The fight against special privilege and rule by
the few is that has existed for centuries and the plain
people have that fight yet tomeet The greatest menace
to the State of Kentucky today is the attempt Of the
gamblers to get CONTROL and unless their hold is loosened
from the control of the State government the power of
he peopeis gone.

remain 50 long within. out OF sight and
bearing. He had been waiting now
for three-quarters Of an hour. He
opened the door Of the car and stepped
out upon the curb, almost tempted to
investigate the cause OF delay. As he
stood there undecided, the two
emetged from the cottage, and de-
scended the steps together. Through
the opened door he caught no glimpse
Of any one within. yet some unseen
hand closed 1t quickly behind them.
They came down the narrow board
walk together, Percival carefully hold
Ing the lady's arm to prevent her trip
ping over the loosened pfanks, but
neither exchanging a word. Natalie
appeared somewhat sobered by her
visit, and West noticed that she had
tied light veil over her face, which
slightly shadowed her features. 1t
was only MS they reached the curb
that she spoke, her voice rather low
and listless.
"Would you mind driving the car

mo. I wouldn't, Sexton" said West
quietly. "It would likely enough only
get you into trouble. Probably she
canpot sleep well, and SO walks In the
garden"
As West made no further effort to
continue the conversation, but began
to carelessly roll q cigarette, Sexton
slipped silently through the opening,
the valise In his hand. and closed the
door behind him.
This attempt to dig information out
OF servant was not a pleasant ex-
perience, yet West felt that In this
case 1t was fully justified. II he had
retained any lingering doubt to what
had occurred the previous night, this
doubt had entirely vanished In the
face Of Sections testimony. His visi-
tor, and the one who had ordered the
servant to leave the side door unlocked,
mad been the same-nOt Natalie Cool
idge. but strangely resembling her.
Whatever else her purpose would be,
one object was clearly connected with
the presence there Of Percival. Very
well this meant that he already had
two distinct lines of investigation
opened to him-the woman, and the
man. The first was like pursuing a
shadow, but Coolidge was real enough.
He determined to keep in touch with
the fellow, confident that he would
thus be eventually led to a discovery
Of his companion.

I feel quite unnerved."
mo WONDER" he returned sympa.
thetically, II have never witnessed q
sadder case; the conditions were even
worse than I imagined. I should never
have brought You with me, my dear"
"Oh, am not sorry came; but 1t
has been a lesson to me. do not
think ever before realized what such
poverty meant. 1t was most pitiful."
"Do not think of 1t any longer, Ma
talie," Coolidge insisted rather grufr-
ly. "They are all right now. shall
telephone for doctor as soon as we
get back, and attend to the rent the
first thing tomorrow"
Il know, Uncle, but cannot forget
so easily"
The returning ride seemed very
brief, and. almost before West re-
allied 1t, the car whirled in through
the Coolidge gate. and came to q stop
at the door. The party separated
pleasantly. Natalie disappeared some.
where within, while the two men
strolled out to the tennis court where
the guests were enjoying spirited
game. All met again at Iuncn, ana
then separated, some to motor over
to the lake, the others amusing them
selves as they saw fit. Both Coolidge
and Natalie vanished, while West,
finding himself alone, chose a book
from the library. and, solaced, by d
cigar. sought a shady nook on the
porch.
The book, however, was but a mark
for his thoughts, which continually re-
vOlved about the strange surroundings
in which he found himself He was
apparently making no progress, was no
nearer solution of the mystery con.
fronting him. Thus far, at least, no
direct clue had presented itself. Nu-
merous things had occurred to
strengthen suspicion, and to increase
interest in the quest. But beyond this
-nuthing. He liked the girl and was
completely enlisted in her service. He
disliked Percival, and was convinced
the fellow was planning evil. Several
Incidents had already strengthened
this belief; yet there was nothing posi-.
tive upon which to build; no path OF
adventure for him to follow. To spec.
ulate was easy enough, hut real facts
eluded him.
Sexton appeared In the door, evI.

man espied him there In the shadow
Of the vines, and came forward

gravely.
