EORGE. It's time you
started tor town, dear, and
here's a flower for your
buttonhole.”
Pretty Mrs. Dice selected
a bright blossom from the
modest little Wimble* on
cottige garden patch, and
regarded her husband as
he stood brushing his hot.
“Why am I to be hon
ored with a buttonhole for
my coat this mcrhtng, lit
tle woman?" Inquired her
hudband.
“Well, I am making an exception be
cause It la Derby Day."
"Good gracious, so It Is! I had for
gotten all about K!” exclaimed George
Price. “Anyway, what horae are you
booking. Rosier’ Inquired her husband
Jocularly.
The bright smile faded from Mrs.
Price's sunny face, and a troubled ex
pression took its place.
“Nothing would indtWie me to go to
the raws, George, end «s for betting,
you know my opinion about that, and I
consider that one example in th e family
is sufficient.”
“Oh, yes, of course. I had forgotten
about that block sheep of a brother of
yours. Never mind, dearest," added
George Price, as he gave his wife a kiss;
“he may always have behaved like a bit
of an outsider, but you make up for
the one blot upon the family escutcheon
over and over again, don't you?
The good-by caresa was hvternipted by-
George's father, who regarded the couple
with pride.
“Anything I can do for you. dad?'
“Yes. my boy. Pact is. I am simply
eaten nip with rheumatism. I want you

“Cl; course, I will. dad. Wim pleasure;

"Yes, but be careful of it. George, my
boy." explained the old man. "It 8 a
•biggish sum—some forty pounds exact
and it's the entire savings for the holi
day outing fund. I am the treasurer,
anil If anything should happen to It I
am responsible, and I should have to
make it good.”
"All rlight, dad, hand It over; nothing
will happen to It.” And MT. Price. Jr.,
complacently thrust the bag of gold into
an inner pocket.
"Besides, dad," addtd Mrs. Price, “the
three of us don’t possess anything like
forty pounds in the world, do we? '
George Price considered himself a
level 'headed, sensible man. He was not
gifted with imagination, only a good
clerk living upon a hundred Bind fifty
a year.
The unexpected happened that morn
ing two hours after George Price had
couimenred to work in the office. Y'oung
Mr. Eamb, the firm’s Junior partner,
called the clerk Into nts mom. "You
have been working very hard lately, and
a little holiday would not do you nnjr
harm. I am driving down in my cousin’s
dogcart to see the Deitby, and I have de

George noticed that the bookmaker ini-

gence in the midst of conditions, all ol
which were unfamiliar to him.
A DARING CIIAUFEEUR
In the capital ho strolled around alone,
forming his own impressions. Among
other places he visited was a great gath
erlng where t<
en in evening dress produced a scene of
splendor. Both the prince and the maiu-
ranee looked askance at the display of
bare shoulders, lint made no comment.
A wealthy Washingtonian took the
maharajah out for a spin in his auto,
expecting him to be bewildered at the
speedy flight of tho machine, but on the
return trip the ruler askej to be permit
ted to allow his skill as a chauffeur, and
to the amazement of 'iiis host drove the
car at high speed with a judgment and
daring Ihai showed his familiarity with
the sport. As a matter of fact, the prince
has fourteen motor cars.

mediately facing them, a Jovial, good-
looking young fellow, whose face some
how seemed strangely familiar to George,
always seemed to be giving out large
sums in notes and gold from the eapa-
n thousand men and worn- clous depth of a big leather bag which
was slung at his side. The more this
individual loft the more lie shouted.
"Ten-to-one bar twol Put all your
money on with Dicky Dent the Dasher!”
was the burden of his perpetual shout,
■ A bad day for thr bookmakers. Price, ’
remarked the junior partner.
At this moment Mr. Iitimb was trie, re
cipient of a mysterious note, deliv.red by
a dirty Individual, who received slxpem-o
by way of payment.
‘“By Jove!" whispered Mr. Ramb ex
citedly—toy Jove, Price! It's tbe chance
of a lifetime. A friend of mine, who Is a
trainer, lias just giv. n me the tip to put
all my money on Wild Duck. He de-

vent to a gratified whistle. "Why. nan
it's ten to one! It means a for-
tay here. Price. I am off to Tat-
Ring. I mean to make lnln-
day. Anyway, it was no use thinking
of it; he had no money.
So with a mild growl of resignation
George thrust his hands into his pockets,
and lo! the whole thing suddenly hap
pened!
His 'hand touched t'h« little canvas bag
containing the money which his father
toad given him that morning, and which
had remained In his pocket. For a mo
ment the course scented io swim before
his eyes. Why should he not have an j
■equal chance with his employer? Why
ehcuM he not make a fortune?
For a few momenta George feebly en
deavored to fight down the mad Im
pulses which were making him dlzsy.
“Back Wild Duck,” he heard a man say
distinctly.
That decided George. He clambered,
down from the dog cart, and with flushed
face he Walked to the wooden aland of
Dlckieiy Dent the Dasher.
“I wont to put forty pounds on Wild
Puck!" stammered George.
The “Dakher” eyed him wltto outward
serenity, but the pupils of his cheerful
•blue eyes dilated slightly.
“Whore's your money?" he asked, with
iti;siness.ltke promptitude.
"Here!" gasped George, ns he handed
over the canvas l*ag containing the wtoore-
witl-a! belonging to the unconscious mem
bers of the Holiday Outing Club.
The Dasher counted the nior y.
“I suppose it Is sure to wih?" inquired
Ptcrgu in a whisp.=r Intended to be pri
vate and confidential.
“Certain to,” replied I he Dasher equa
bly. "Herct's your ticket.”
Then a toell clang, and a tumultuous
roar arose from a million tliToats. |
“They're off!"
George scrambled back to his seat on j
• he dogcart, and with trembling fingers'
ser.TCtood the card for the colors worn ;
1'V the Jockey riding Wild Duck. Then
ho eagerly s<-tinned the faint ridge of
dus; which seemed to be still miles away,
for purple and orange.
Had George's attention not been so
absorbed, he would have seen Dicky Dent
the Dasher giving rapid instructions to
hi-, partner and general help;
"Put the lot on Rosie for the last race
ir.slde riding. You understand?"
Where wore the purple and orange ? •
Above ‘ all, where was Wild Duck?
George's eyes nearly ..started out of his
head. Not second, not third, not even in :
the first five. Then the cry went up: i
‘‘Tlie favorite's won!" And a cry went !
up also from George's very nc-art. He
brew he was a dishonored man, and Ms
face was white with tlhe shock.
To (the utterly miserable George it
seemed hours before Mr. Lamb rejoined
bini and the races were over.
II.
Aire. Price was considerably astonished
when her husband arrived from town
two hours later than usual.
"George, dear, what has happened?"
she exclaimed, as sho noted tih'e intense
pallor of her husband’s face.
For the first time in his life George
Price did not answer his wife, neither !id
he look In her face, but piece by piece
he told her the whole story of his temp
tation and the 'duy's utter calamity. 3he
said no word, but tears were rolling
down her cheeks, and sobs were being
bravely stifled when an hour later she
left the little Wimbledon cottage upon
the dread errand of breaking the news to
Mr. Price senior.
“Twice in miy life," sobbed Rosie Price,
"has It brought shame upon two of tho3e
I love: first my mother, and now my—'"
■Her thoughts went, no further, for at
that moment she ran headlong Into a
goocJ-hrjmored looking man who was
swinging along toward her.
It may have been the tear-stained face
which arrest'd the man’s attention, or
perhaps a long-forgotten memory of a
once familiar figure, but as he looked
sharply at the girlish form h<*. suddenly
stopped and exdlaitned:

Mrs. Price gave one look of astonish
ment, then she faintly said. "Fred—oh,
Fred!" and burst into tears.
"Now. little sister." he said cheerily,
"perhaps you will tell your black sheep
of a brother, whom you haven’t seen for
ten years, what happens to be troubling
you 7”
"It’s—it s my husband,” sobbed RoSie.
“Has he been beating you?” exclaimed
the cheerful Fred. “If so, I’ll break
every bone in his body!"
“No—er—no.” sobb'd Rosie; “hs—ho'»

“Billy f6ol!" remarked Fred compla
cently.
“But you—you don't urfderstano.”
ROsle. "He—lie did what you did. Frol
those ten years ago—he took money
which didn’t belong to him.”
The man had b-come strangely silent.
“Only," continued Rosie, “there is this
difference. The money you took was
what father meant to start me in life; it
didn't much matter; it was not public
disgrace. But George-oh. how can I
tell you! He—lie took forty pounds which
father held in tr st for the Holiday
Outing fund, and—and he lost it to a
man called Dlelsy Dent the Dasher."
The man beside her suddenly gave a
loud laugh
