AL
ing jockey, whose loyalty to a rae
ing stable by which he is EMPLOYED
is one OF the factors In his popu-
larity, is signed by a rival stable
with the understanding that he
will not be required to enter a GER
tain race against the owner with
which he has been associated. At
the last moment it is represented
to him that certain leading Jockey
has had a sudden attack of illness
and that he must ride instead, con-
trary to the terms of his under
standing. He Is later informed by
friend that the whole matter is a
piece OF deception, so when the race
Is run he permits his opponent to
win. The judges take action and
bar him from the track. This black
mark stands in the way of his
further employment.
Uniform lack of success induces
him to decide that he will never
ride again, and he goes to one of the
remote tracks, where he serves as a
waiter and entertainer in a cafe.
Friends find him there, buy a win
ming horse with which he has pre-
viously been associated, form a part
nership, making him one of the
owners, ana plead in vain for him
to ride the horse. Finally the young
woman whom he had hoped to wed
arrives on the scene and succeeds
in showing him that it is his duty
to ride again and restore himself
to good standing. He goes into a
hard race, gains brilliant victory
and the young woman shares in his
ultimate success.
1t is simple story, but one that
has more than the usual dramatic
quality to be found at the race
tracks. The pictures are recorded
with notable skill. There is con-
tinuous action. and the whole is
excellent entertainment. Marion

only a conventional share in the
story, but Is nevertheless effective in

have been prorated between the two
governmental units.
