the cup and his flngernails was pol

man. So I looked up, which never
do when I'm servin', and deluged him
with the steamin' coffee.
Damn you! Damn you, you old

His eyes looked like a dogs eyes do

though I'd been with Joe since he
was a little tyke, what's to prevent
his wife from givin' me my walkin'

About II that night I was just
finishin' the dishes when heard the

I stopped workin' for a minute
when heard snatches Of what Joe's
wife was sayin' to him.
Have I ever told you before, Joe,
that you not only stand head and
shoulders over any other man I've
met, but I think I'm darn lucky to
be your wife?"
I pushed the swingin' door open a
bit, and they was standin' in the hall
with their arms around each other.
Thinkin' it was great world to live
in, I started to put away the glasses,
when Joe and his wife walked into
the kitchen.

voice, have you ever in all the years

came to work for Joe. I liked Joe's
wife from the first. She never came
nosin' in the kitchen to see how I
kept it and she always talked to me
in quiet sort of way. She let me
have Wednesday off instead of Thurs
day when Pat was in the hospital
with visitin' hours on Wednesday
only.
They had been married about two
years when one night while I was
servin' dinner Joe's wife leaned over
and said, Joe, who do you thinks
come home?"
who, dear?" said Joe good-na-
turedly
DO you remember Dew bacon, my
old beau that you used to be so
Jealous about?" she asked.
And Joe replied sort of light-like,
swell, good for bacon. When did he
blow in?" But his face didn't look
at all like his lords sounded.
The first time MD eyes on bacon
I could see why joe was kinda wor-
ried. He came one afternoon, and
when I opened the door I thought one
of the men dressed up in Joe's fashion
magazine was walkin' out of the page.
He was sure handsome. But when
I saw his eyes I was thinkin' they
had an expression like the china cat
on the table in the hall.
I showed him into the living room
and took his hat and coat while he
looked around with his mouth down in
one corner like he didn't like what he
saw. Then I went to tell Joe's wife
that he was here.
~THERE'S a Mr.. Bacon askin' to
- see you. ma'am," I said.
She looks kinda excited and says,
"But Minnie, look hectic. Tell him
to wait just few moments. will you?"
And she brings her new $3.50 knit
suit out of the closet.
I was afraid then for Joe. Not
that she didn't still love Joe. knew
she did when she looked at him across
the dinner table kinda proud and
smilin' with little wrinkles in the
corner of her eyes. But bacon was
the kind of a man that would make
a body's heart beat fast just by>talkin'
to her. And you can't tell what might
happen with a man like that around.
So I watches close and wonders what's
goin' to happen.
Things began to move along fast
after Dacon's first visit He was calm
lot after that. The air was kinda
strained around the house, with Joe
actin like pup who couldn't find
a home and his wife hummin and
singin' with a far-off look in her eyes.
knew myself that things was goin'
from bad to worse. And then one
night couple of months after Bacon
came home he came to dinner
THEY was just the four of them
- Joe, his wife, Dacon and a friend
of Joe's wife, but they weren't payin'
much attention to her. Every time
I came out of the kitchen Bacon
would be leaning across the table
talkin' and laughin' with Joe's wife
He sure was handsome with his hair

without hesitation.

few are present to heed or cheer
still is a slim young man who must
be reckoned with around a race
track. Examine the list of winners
at the recently closed Hialeah meet
ing if you doubt that.
Sande brought seven horses to the
meeting. That was woefully small
number as compared to roles of
the mighty stables invited to try
their luck at this race emporium.
But Sande saddled fourteen winners,
most of them triunphing with wide
stretches of open daylight to spare.
This is a rare success for man who
took up a new job scarcely three
years ago. All the fingers of one
hand would not be needed to count
the veteran trainers, already wise
in the ways of their profession when
a slim Idaho kid was booting home
his first big-time winner in 1918,
who can boast of as much good
fortune.
How does this once greatest of
jockeys like the work to which he
now has turned? We sat on faded
old brocade sofa in front of his barn
door and talked about it, while
thorOughbreds craned their necks
out of nearby doors and his two
dogs, a police and a red setter,
clamored to divide Earle'S atten-
ton.
Eyes, training was lot different
from riding. You had to pay at
tention to lot of new things. Things
you might have noted before but
never had regarded as really i'm
portant."
What things, for instance? Sande
looked at his visitor, grinned, then
fondled the settlers ears. "Well, just
things"
The visitor changed the subject.
What would Sande rather do? Pre-
pare horses for some other jockey
to win with or boot them home him
self? There was a moments hest
tation, then earnest response.
"Why, ride them, of course. There
was nothing in life like that. One
of the hardest things to get over
was not even being able to straddle
some colt for morning gallop on
the track. But of course a fellow
with SO much weight couldn't do
that. 1t wouldn't be fair to the
horses"
Sande now weighs lbs as COM
pared to the lis or SO of his best
riding years. Was he training any
riders to follow in his own renown?
mo, not now. Most of the jocks
who rode for him were experienced
fellows. Still he would like to do it
some day. Real jockeys were born,
not made, even though experience
and training did smooth them out
What he would like to do was go
back home to Idaho some day, find
some little kid practically raised
in the saddle and see what could
be done with him."
Sceneshifter, winner several days
previously for the Maxwell Howard
stable for which Sande trains, was
whinnying from a nearby door.
Sande rose, patted the colt on the
nose several times, spoke to him
and then returned.
