SEEMED A MILDER EPlTHET
Small Boys Humorous Idea Of Toning
Down the Enormlty Of His
Offense.

The Youngest Teacher in certain
Brooklyn school felt that crisis had
arisen, when little Bobby, aged six,
called little Mary, aged five,
"dumbbell"-called her the impolite
name before witnesses and refused to
apologize.
Little Mary, being a bright child,
naturally resented the epithet, and
the rest of the class took sides. Feel
ing ran high, and discipline went by
the board.
In vain the Youngest Teacher tried
to impress on Bobby the enormity of
his offense. He refused to see that he
had done anything very terrible.

This was more serious. Bobby was
clearly aWed. However, having TAX

time later he came back, chastened In

after the apology. Il was afraid to

And the Youngest Teacher, wise
In the ways of children, realized that
Bobby had chosen fom his limited
vocabulary a word which he consid-
cred a shade more refined than the
one he had actually used.

10 Winners in Two Days


ri INCINNATI, Oct. 23.-In England when
y the great Donoghue is astride horse, the
stands ring with the cry "Come on, Steve In
Kentucky, especially Latonia, the cry is, 'tCome on
Ivan"
Steve Donoghue, as you know is the great
est rider in England. Ivan Parke, if you don't
know, seems destined to be the greatest rider in
America
Already Ivan has world record to his
credit and he is only 16 years old. Recently at
Latonia he rode ten winners in two days, per-
Torrance unequaled in the history of the turf.
Parke rode five one day and five the next.
Parke's amazing spur4 was the sensation of
the fall race meet, and many bettors cleaned up
handsomely on him.
Parke, who weighs scant "a pounds, and is
hardly larger than a whip socket, comes by his
riding genius naturally. On his fathers ranch
in Iowa he rode broncos and spirited, horses. At
the age of he was expert in the saddle.
Parke has been riding well all year and has
fine chance to lead all American jockeys for the
year. Only Earl Sande and Pete Walls stand in
front of him.
Nose Goldbatt well-known turfman who
holds the lads contract intends to pick his mounts
in the future with view of bringing Parke the
title the years leading jockey.

places, and were gone as quickly as
they came Mostly they wanted mon-
ey and arms, but they would steal any
thing, and unprotected women had suf-
fered at their hands.
Madeline, hurriedly collecting her
securities and the considerable money
she had In her desk, ran out, closed
and locked the door, crossed the patio
to the opposite side of the house, and,
entering again, went down long cor
ridor, trying to decide which Of the
many unused rooms would be best to
hide In. And before she made up her
mind she came to the last room. Just
then a battering on door or window in
the direction Of the kitchen and shrill
screams from the servant women In
creased Madeline's alarm.
She entered the last room. There
was no lock or bar upon the door. But
the room was large and dark, and it
was half full Of bales of alfalfa hay.
the house; at least time would be nec-
essary to find any one hidden there.
She dropped her valuables in a dark
corner and covered them with loose
hay. That done, she felt her way down
q narrow aisle between the piled-up
bales and presently crouched in a
niche.
With the necessity of action over for
the immediate present, Madeline be-
came conscious that she was quivering
and almost brcathless. Her skin felt
tight and cold There was weight
on her chest; her mouth was dry, and
she had strange tendency to swallow.
Dull sounds came from parts OF the
house remote from her. In the inter-
walls of silence between these sounds
she heard the squeaking and rustling
Of mice in the hay. A mouse ran over
her hand
She listened, waiting, hoping, yet
dreading to hear the clattering ap-
proach of her cowboys. There would
be fighting-blood-m injured, per-
haps killed. Even the thought Of vio-
lence of any kind hurt her But per-
haps the guerrillas would run in time
to avoid clash with her men. She
hoped for that, prayed for it. Through
her mind fitted what she knew of

ner ana the ridge there was not
horse, man, or anything living. She
wheeled to look back on the other
side, down the valley slope.
The sight of Florence riding g'Majesty
in zigzag flight before whole troop of
vaqueros blanched Madeline's cheek
and made her grip the pOmmel Of her
saddle in terror. That strange gait
OF her roam was not his wonderful
stride. Could Majesty be running
wild? 1t flashed over Madeline that
Florence was putting the horse to
some such awkward flight as might
have been expected Of an eastern girl
frightened out of her wits. Madeline
made sure Of this when, after looking
again, she saw that Florence, in spite
Of the horses breaking gait and the
irregular course, was drawing slowly
and surely down the valley.
Madeline had not lost her head
to the extent Of forgetting her own
mount and the nature of the ground In
front. When, presently, she turned
again to watch Florence, uncertainty
ceased in her mind. The strange fea-
lures Of that race between girl and
vaqueros were no longer in evidence.
Majesty was in his beautiful. wonder
full stride, low down along the ground,
stretching, with his nose level and
straight for the valley. Between him
and the lean horses in pursuit lay an
ever-increasing space. He was running
away from the vaquerOs. Florence was
indeed riding the wind," as Stewart
had aptly expressed his idea Of fight
upon the fleet roam.
A dimness came over Madeline's
eyes, and it was not all owing to the
sting Of the wind. She rubbed it away,
seeing Florence as a flying dot In q
strange blur. What a daring, intrepid
girl This kind Of strengthened aye,
splendid thought for weaker sister
was what the West inculcated in q
woman.
The next time Madeline looked back
Florence was far ahead of her pur-
suers and going out of sight behind a
low knoll. Assured Of Florence's safe
ty, Madeline put her mind to her own
ride and the possibilities awaiting at
the ranch. She remembered the fail
ure to get any Of her servants or cow
boys on the telephone. To be sure, a
windstorm had once broken the wire.
But she had little real hope Of such
being the case in this instance. She
rode on, pulling the black as She
neared the ranch.
1t was perhaps fortunate for her,
she thought, that the climb up the
slope cut the blacks speed so she could
manage him. He was not very hard
to stop. The moment she dismounted,
| however, he jumped and trotted off.
At the edge Of the slope, facing the
corrals, he halted to lift his head and
shoot up his ears. Then he let out a
piercing whistle and dashed down the
| lane.
| Madeline, prepared by that warning
| whistle, tried to fortify herself for a
new and unexpected situation; but as
she espied an unfamiliar company of
borsemen rapidly riding down hollow
leading from the foothills she felt the
return of fears gripping at her like
cold hands, and she fled precipitously
into the house.

tnat obstinate door and Heard the
quick, harsh voices Of men and the
sounds of a hurried search she sud-
denly felt sure that they were hunting
for her. She knew 1t. She did not
wonder at it. But she wondered IL
she were really Madeline Hammond,
and If it were possible that brutal men
would harm her. Then the tramping
of heavy feet on the floor Of the ad-
Joining room lent her the last strength
Of fear Pushing with hands and
shoulders, she moved the door far
enough to permit the passage Of her
body. Then she stepped upon the
sill and slipped through the aperture.
She saw no one. Lightly she jumped
down and ran In among the bushes.
But these did not afford her the cover
she needed. She stole from one clump
to another, finding too late that she
had chosen with poor judgment. The
position Of the bushes had drawn her
closer to the front Of the house rather
than away from it, and just before her
were horses, and beyond a group of
excited men. With her heart In her
throat Madeline crouched down.
A shrill yell, followed by running and
mounting guerrillas, reused her hope.
They had sighted the cowboys and were
In flight. Rapid humping Of boots on
the porch told Of men hurrying from
the house. Several horses dashed past
her, not ten feet distant. One rider
saw her, for he turned to shout back.
This drove Madeline into a panic.
Hardly knowing what she did, she be-
gan to run away from the house. Her
feet seemed leaden. She felt the same
horrible powerlessness that sometimes
came over her when she dreamed Of
being pursued. Horses with shouting
riders streaked past her in the shrub
berry. There was thunder Of hoofs
behind her. She turned aside, but the
laundering grew nearer. She was be-
ing run down.

Waiting, listening increased all her

She doubted it; she knew 1t could not
be true. Nevertheless, the strain Of
uncertainty was torturing.
Suddenly the bang of the corridor
door pierced her through and through
with the dread Of uncertainty. Some
of the guerrillas had entered the east
wing of the house. She heard babel
of jabbering voices, the shuffiing Of
boots and clinking of spurs, the slam
ming Of doors and ransacking Of
rooms.
Madeline lost faith in her hiding

sible to take the chance. The idea Of
being caught in that dark room by
those ruffians filled her with horror.
She must get out into the light. Swift
ly she rose and went to the window.
It was rather more of a door than
window, being large aperture closed
by two wooden doors on hinges. The
iron hook yielded readily to her grasp,
and one door stuck fast, while the
other opened few inches. She looked
out upon a green slope covered with
| flowers and buncf1es of sage and
bushes. Neither man nor horse showed
in the narrow field Of her vision. She
| believed she would be safer hidden
out there In the shrubbery than in
the house. The jump from the win
dow would be easy for her.
She pulled at the door. 1t did not
bulge. 1t had caught at the bottom.
Pulling with all her might proved to
be In vain. Pausing, with palms hot
and bruised, she heard louder, closer
approach Of the invaders Of her home.
Fear, wrath, and impotence contested
! for supremacy over her and drove her
to desperation. She was alone here,
and she must rely on herself. And as
she strained every muscle to move
