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.

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.

' 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.

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. The contrast between the simplicity or the gaekwar in this country rnd his Splendor at 'home is astonishing. 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.

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: '■RosieP’ 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'» —been bettlnig." “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.
