Jannulce, carefully nldlng ms cougn, rode forth for the first time in four years wearing the colors of his old stable.
 The bookmakers were laying thir- ty to one against Doc Grausman, and a wit in the ring said it was ten to 0ne the colt, twenty to one | the boy. What was not known was that JauDdice had taken the money that had been contributed to bury Lord James and wagered it three ways. straight, place. and show, on Doc Grausman. A Rew generation of jockeys faced the start, a gen eration that knew nothing of the skill of the boy who had ridden champions. The new boys, with the contempt that youth holds for the "has-becns,' jeered at Jaundice, and 1 hurled insulting epithets at him as ' NfF W ilt'i'-ii anu l'I the advantage of the break. Jaun- dice did not retort with oaths and vilificatious as he would have done in other days. He was afraid he would start to cough.
 The barrier flashed. Jaundice had been holding Doc Grausman steady during the milling of the others. Out of the corner of the eye he had caught the betraying arm movement of the starter an instant before the barrier flashed upward. had shot Doc Grausman at the starting line just the instant it fickered past his nose, had beaten the start a length and a half while the others were taking the first jump and sent him roaring down the long straight away for four and half furlongs. Riding him out desperately at the end. he held the lead by half length over the favorite.
 As the horses paraded back past the stands he held his lips tightly pressed together. He staggered little as he weighed out, and in the paddock his lips were reddened. Tho strain of the ride had opened the old wounds in his lungs.
 An hour later he ordered tho un- dertaker to give Lord James the best funeral he could for one thou sand two hundred dollars and paid over tho money. There remained for his share of the victory just twenty dollars.
 The news spread around the track that evening that Jaundice was to give Lord James swell funeral" Curiosity was aroused. Touts, stable- boys, bookmakers' helpers, few jockeys, attended. II happened that Jaundice came to me to consult as to the minister, and I had secured the services of wonderful little rector who Is much interested in all human beings.
 The funeral was the strangest one ever attended. The little min ister was doing his best to comfort the mourners, but plainly was at disadvantage because Jaundice was the only mourner. Jaundiee. through some instinctive sense of respect for tho dead. was standing very awkwardly and tears were rolling down his cheeks. He was weeping for the second time in his life. Finally the little rector read from tho service: "IIo is not dead, but sleeping"
 Jaundice' started. then stared. reached instinctively for his pocket. and sobbed in a whisper: "Ten dol- lars will win vou twenty seven fl you think old Lord James is only sleeping" His reversion to instinct raised laugh. For the first time the assem- blaFe was getting its moneys worth. The little rector was very much shocked. He could not understand that Jaundice meant no 1isrespect. He argued that no man could live in the United states and be so com pletely ignorant of religion. soid that Jaundice thought Jesus Christ was cuss word and that his only
