 His brain was dazed. but his heart seethed with bitter resentment. He knew that Clarence Fox had profited largely and had swindled him out of his just share. He walked slowly bitterly regretting the generosity of the morning, but for which he still would have had enough money to reach the race-track. He went hum- bly, back to the St. Charles baths and petitioned to be restored to his posi- ton. That night, while working upon the super-fattened carcasses of patrons, thoughts of Clarence Fox and his perfidy came 10 his mind, and he struck hard, eliciting howls of protest. And during that long night his brain slowly evolved plan Of vengeance.
 Three days later Clarence Fox. ar rayed in glory which neither Solo, mon nor the lilies ever could have rivaled, descended into the St. Charles baths.
 Why. howdy. Pro-" he exclaimed, with well simulated surprise. "Ah thought .oh done gone Baltimo"

 Clarence FoH's manner changed with startling suddenness. From a patronizing familiarity and superior condenseension, he descended in stantly to solicitous friendship.

 Instead of retiring for the day, Pro promenaded, ostensibly for pleasure, but always with view of borrowing capital to wager. Several times he tentatively opened negotia : tions, but, meeting with scant eB- couragement, he contented himself with remarkins airily that he had remained in New Orleans to consunl mate betting commission for an owner, and was leaving to join the horses that evening, after the kill ing.

 With light heart and faith in Miss Luck restored, he went forth to the Royal Crcscen. Palace barber shop by devious route. At his first stop he remarked casually that he would nit he surprised if he and Mr. Fox had cleaned up five hundred dollars. at the second stop he opined he and Mir. Fox had won seven hundred and by the time he reached Canal Street his estimate Of prob1ble win nings had passed twelve hundred dollars and his cash capital had dwindled to eight dollars. due to sud den generosity in lending and to purchasing cigars for less fortunate acquaintances.
 His mental estimate oi the amount won exceeded the figures he dared express openly. There Was no limit to his imagination. MT. Fox had money A hundred dollars should yield fifteen hundred a proper pool room odds, MT. Fox rated himself sport. Pro calculated that prop CT sport, with money, would bet at least five hundred dollars on tin straight from an owner, which at twelve 10 one--the lowest possible odds he figured MT. Fox would ac- cept--would be six thousand dollars

 His plot was working.
 That evening he sat in the bath house, his mind concentrated upon the racing form. He was busy pick ing losers. instead of winners, and even the unmuffied snores of the sleepers failed to dlstact his atten- tion.

Chicken left The other ultraviolet product,
ing reared unde fuzed quart

Quoted by DR.. C. c. Little, presi-
dent of the university, and DR.. w.
T. Bowie, of Harvard University,
convinces many scientists that rick
cts and other child diseases caused
by lack of sunlight, soon will be
conquered.
The first ultraviolet ray nurcery
for American children will be eatab-
lished at the John Hopkins Hospital,
Baltimore, where a sheet Of fuzed
quartz glass soon will be installed
Dr. Bowie explains that health rec
ords of cold countries show that 95
per cent of the children forced to
remain indoors a grea1 deal Of the
time in winter have ricketts, when
spring comes. This is due to the
fact that the suns life giving ultra
violet rays cannot penetrate ordina
ry glass used in home windows.
DR.. Bowie expects the same sue.
cess in treating children that has
followed the experiments upol
chicks.
The new glass is expected t,
prove a great benefit to poultr!
raisers. It's use will eliminate til,

WASHINGTON, Oct 28.--Am-

for the persistent aecidents on Uni

latest was the cr4s-r Trent2r's

Much navy work consists in tire

Just what ought to be done to re-
