the bets over a score of cities and get better odds. Such bets as he made at the tracks were for his own account. and generally he lost so that the small bettors who spied upon him. hoping to learn which horses the company were backing. suspected that he bet to blind them to the real identity of the horses the killings" were made on. They believed that the Long Investment Company was winning vast sums. As a matter of fact the Long h. vestment Company did not bet at all. kirtin did not believe in gani- bling. Yet, oddly enough, Big Jim Long believed firmly and unshak- ably that, if he had complete con- trol of the finances of the company, he could beat the races. He was convinced that with the capital of the Long Investment Company he could corrupt enough jockeys and owners to pay dividends legitimate ly and make a fortune for himself. Long would have been an easy vic- tim of the game he WAS helping perpetrate upon the public. Kirtin had no such illusions, Long had once argued the point with Kirtin in the privacy of the back room in New York. and Kirtin had called him a fool with variations. prefix and addenda. And, as Kirtin sent him five thousand dollars a week with which to keep up the front of the Long Investment Company, Long had not pressed the point. Neither had he been convinced.
 It was against Big Jim Long that Hardshell Gaines cherished the one hatred of his life. It had started

Hawthorne track when the barrier, a band of elastic, was broken by the lunging of another colt. The elastic band struck Sword of Gideon in the eye and maddened him with fright and pain. The accident seemed trivial. but the effect was the destruction of Hardshelrs life dream. Never thereafter would Sword Of Gideon face the barrier without a fight. The memory of the stinging agony of that flying elastic was not to be effaced A dozen times exasperated starters ordered him out S races and sent him back for further schooling at the barrier. Schooling was useless, He refused to face the thing which had hurt him. The only way in which he could be handled at the start of race was for the jockey to turn his head away from the barrier. wait until the oth 1T horses started then throw him around and send him after the flying field. Occasionally when the jockey swung him at the right second he had chance to win. The majority of times he was handicapped five or six lengths on every start, md not infrequently when he heard the swish of the bar rier he bolted the wrong way of the track. Look in the guide and after his name in many races you will find the brief record of tragedy in the words. Left at post"
 The champion was ruined. But in the heart of Hardshell Gaines sword of Gideon still was the cham pion. He worked over him as ten derly as a mother over a crippled child. and for him he sang his favorite hymns, as if striving to comfort the horse when he had be- haved badly at the post. The news papers, on account of his bad act ing at the start. wrote of him as "Swored at Gideon,"
 Big Jim Long had called the Sword hound" and thereafter Hardshell. never spoke to him but passed him unseeing. At the bar one day Big Jim had noisily invited everyone to drink with him. and Hardslsell had thrown away his beer

 That evening Margery's mother went into a long and earnest consult tatiOn with her husband, the result being several telephone calls. one of which was the ticket office at the station. where three berths were re- served on the Montreal express.

and spat before walking away--and the open insult stung even Big Jim Long.
 All this was three years prior to the day when the affairs of the Long Investment Company reached their climax. Tn his New York offices. Kirtin realized that the finish was at hand. The )ags filled with money had been removed from the safe in the luxurious offices of the Long 1n- vestment Company. carried through the door connectinp them with the little office of Thos. J. Kirtin. In- vestments, and the door locked on both sides. Then Kirtin did the one decent thing of his career. He sent a code telegram to Long and Co every agent of the company over the ganglia of leased wires. warning them that the jig was up and it was time 10 disappear.
 Probably if was not until he read that message that Big Jim Long understood the full significance Of the situation He never had stop ped 10 ask himself why kirtin had bestowed rank and titles upon him, why he had elected him president. and why all the ornate stationery and the many messages bore his name. or even shy he had been paid five thousand dollars a week. Per haps he thought he earned it by vir- tue of his influence among racing people. He understood now that he. Jim Long, would he held account able to the law, that he would be fugitive or prisoner. while Kirtin. with inc milli ms of dollars footed from inc public. could not be con- nected with the swindle and would be safe in Europe.
 He cursed kirtin, and. strangely. not because Kirtin was thief and worse. He cursed him because he considered Kirtin 2 fool. Had Kir-

mathematics.
 The chief obstacle to his plan was lack of time, and he knew he must act rapidly. Already the rumors that the Long Investment Company was in trouble had spread through | the uneasy ranks of the gamblers, and Long knew tho first one who informed a distric- attorney Of the affairs of the company would bring the avalanche. By rapid work he completed his preliminary plans during the races that afternoon. An overnight handicap was carded for the next days races, and Long selected eight owners whose morals he knew were bel1w the par even of racing and eacn agreed to enter a horse in the race. The chief problem was to prevent other own CTS from naming their horses to start, and to avoid this one owner agreed to enter Attorney Jackson, a hish-class racer. 10 frighten owners Of slower horses ont.
 That evening caucus was held. Besides Long, eight owners were  present. It was agreed that with Attorney Jackson the favorite. the odds against Mildred Rogers would be at least ffteen to one. therefore by simple arithmetic Mildred Rogers should win, because fifteen times one is fifteen. whereas two times one is two. Long intended 10 bet the remnants of tho capital of the investment company. and, figuring the price would recede from fifteen or twenty to one 10 ten to one be- fore the money was placed. he esti- mated that he would win close to five million dollars. Not a cent was to be wagered at the track.

tin followed his plan and advice, the scheme would have worked. With that almost unlimited capital behind him he could have fixed enough races and won enough money to pay the dividends.
 Long knew that within a day or two, three al the longest. the au- thorities would descend upon the company offices. With a sudden determination, Long sent code or der to every agent Of the company to ignore Kirtin's message and pre- pare for killing.
 Let kirtin go his cowardly way. He. Big Jim Long. would face the situation. pay the dividends. and handle the big money himself. He knew that at least half million dollars remained in the hands of the agents of the company In differ ent cities--tEe gleanings which Kir- tin had not considered worth the risk to remain and collect.

Investments, and the Long Investment Company, heard the news and shrugged his shoulders He had tried to save the fools, and if they refused 10 be saved it was none of his affair. An hour later he and his suitcases were in the stateroom of a liner.
 At the Fair Grounds track in St. Louis, Big Jim Long set to work hastily to stave off disaster and re- vive the investment company. He had considered telegraphing the au- thorities to hold Kirtin, but had re- iected the plan as unbecomins one in his profession. Longs plan of procedure was simple and direct. He would fix a race, pay the horse owners well, and win enough money to declare another dividend, restor- ing the faith of the investors, who already had begun to show signs Of uneaslness as rumors spread. It was not a problem of morals but of

when Long sought 10 amuse himself and his friends by ridiculing Gaines and his stable. He had ioked at the old mans clothes, at his stable, his colors, and his jockey--and then had made the fatal blunder of ridiculing Sword of Gideon, calling him a hound"
 Perhaps nothing else would have aroused vengeful hate in the bosom of Hardshell, but Co speak cornfully of sword Of Gideon was the unbear- able insult. The sword was Hard shells weakness, the consummation of his life's ambition gone wrong 1t was as if he had reared a strong, handsome son and seen him crippled and then laughed at.
 Hardshell had bred and reared the colt and named him. as he did all his other colts. from the Bible As a two-year- old. racing against the best of the baby thorouehbreds of the West. the Sword had shown stamina, gameness. a racing in- stinct, and dazzling burst of speed He was royalty bred. and even the millionaire owners agreed that Hardshell had at last produced great colt. Tn mid-seasou he was rated as one of the two best two- year. olds of tho year, and offers of large sums were made for him. He was elieihle to race in all the big three year old stake races the next sason. and lIardHhell had refused to listen 10 any offer or set any price. He had get out 10 develop a cham pion racer down there on the little farm in the Big Bend of the Ten nessee. a champion which would outrun and outgame the best of the country and win the American derby then the grestesr of all turf prizes.
 Late in August the thing hap- pened. The colt was at the starting post in a six-furlong dash on the

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By 8 " STRAUS
resident Of AuericsE Society for Thrift

Few Of US realize, perhaps, that
our nation is today at war with IN
enemy as relentless as any human
foe could be. This condition of
warfare costs Us $4,000 900, 600
annually. Between 10 and 20 per
cent Of our crops are destroyed by
insects. Each of as pays q tribute
Of nearly $50 year to these pests.
And the menace is steadily in
creasing!
70 less an authority than I. o.
Howard, Chief Of the Bureau of
Entomology, Department of Agricul-
ture, frankly states that damage by
insects is growing greater"
What has been called officially a
"Hindenburg Line" has been es-
tablished from Long Island to
Canada as part of the effort to check
the Westward march of the gypsy
moth.
Equally vigorous defensive war
fare is being carried on in the
Central States 20 prevent the corn
borer from reaching the great corn
belt Of America. This pest, which
came originally from Hungary and
Southern Russia, has reached the
lake borders of Ohio and Michigan.
In New Jersey and Eastern Pennsy-
lvania, the japanese beetle has laid
waste fruit, vegetables and forests
in an area of no square miles.
Relentless warfare, costing millions
of dollars, alone can prevent its
spread to other sections.
Since 1898 the South has fought
the boll-weevil, but happily the tide
of battle has at last been turned
against this invader of our cotton
fields.
The San Jose scale, Hessian fly,
Mediterranean fruit-fly, green bug,
chlnch bug, cloverseed nudge and
hundred other species of destructive
insects exist in this country each of
which, we are told, causes a damage
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually. Moreover, each of these
species may become the source of
incalculable loss if not held in check
through incessant vigilance
We owe a greater debt to our
government and to the chronological
bureaus of our various states than
we appreciate.
There is a glorious lesson in citizen
ship to be learned from this situa-
ton. Were it not for the solid and
orderly organization Of government
and its attendant scientific activities,
these insects would destroy our food
supply and force us to fight for life
itself
