I >r o o much popularity may affect the turf career of Black Gold, as it i finally ruined famous Old Rose bud, ten years ago, in the opinion j o f Kentucky turf experts who see in the public clamor for the Hoots ! colt many of the possibilities which i brought destiny to Old Rosebud. L jjot since 1914, wb.cn Old Rost ik jU "d won the Kentucky Derby and set the record for the race at 2:03 2-5, has there been a racer held so high in public esteem. Lovers of horseflesh are showering their affections on this black son of Black Tony and the little Indian pony, Useeit. Old Rosebud, after winning tile Derby in 1914, was sent East and broke down during a race at Bel mont. His owners sent him to Texas and three- years later he came back and beat Roamer and other leaders. He was so popular he was “raced to death” and was destroyed two years ago. For several years no horse re ceived the admiration that was Old Rosebud’s. Black Gold made a bid for it last winter when he won the Louisiana Derby at New Orleans. He was the favorite in th-' Kentucky- Derby and came from behind to win the fiftieth renewal of that classic. Unjikg- famous thoroughbreds of old, Stack Gold -was pot bred in the purple. There is some doubt as to his mother’s blue blood. Useeit be longed to an Indian, Al Hoots. When Hoots died his wife carried out her husband’s wish and mated Useeit with Black Tony, E. R.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The “Nervous Wreck,” an eccen tric young easterner, is driving Sal ly Morgan from her father’s ranch to the railroad station when they run out of gasoline: The occupants of a passing car refuse to lend them any, and the Wreck takes five gal lons at the point of a gun. Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way because the foreman, Charlie McSween, needs a cook, and Sally fills that need. They discover that the wealthy owner vs the ranch, Mr. Underwood, is the owner of the- car which they held up. Underwood and his boy and girl are expected to stay at. the ranch for several weeks. At the risk of being recognized, the Wreck wait.-: on them in the dining room, and overhears their discussion of the highway robbery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “I don’t see why you can’t have Charley call in the man and start them out on the road,” observed the youth. '“They’ve got work to do here,” growled his father, as ha spread a napkin. “And it’s not thei r job, any how. It’s a sheriff’s job.” The Wreck, who was ladling soup at the serving table, never spilled a drop. H e merely prolonged the task as he listened. “It seems to me he ought to have some deputy you could get hold of,” suggested Harriet Underwood. “I don’t want his deputy. I don’t do business with deputies. I want the man in charge. Lord knows, I pay enough taxes in this county to. get a sheriff when I want one. He must be a fine sheriff to let a state of affairslliek e this go on.” “Well, I guess you could get an other one elected, if you wanted to,” remarked the yong man, with an effort at lightness. His father glared at him. “Don’t be an ass, Chester. What we waht now is a sheriff—on the job. We’re not running next year’s election.” The Wreck, having ladled soup info three plates picked on e of them up and turned toward the table. This was the crisis, and theie was no longer any use in trying to post pone it. He laid the plate in front of Miss Underwood, and ' then, for the first time since he had entered the room, he seemed to attract family attention.

Ser vants were a matter of no great interest, either to himself or his sister. But the scrutiny of Jerome Underwood was more prolonged. The wreck minked painfully and wished that he had his glasses; he. wanted to read the big man c ex pression more accurately. He had fetched a second plate of soup and laid it before the ranch owner before a word was addressed to him. “You didn’t work here last sum mer,” announced Underwood. “No, sir.” It was a bitter wrench, but the Wreck kept his voice low and re spectful. “What’s your name?” “Williams.” “Where are you from?” “Pittsburg, sir.” “Just working here for the sum mer?” “Yes, sir.” Underwood nodded and picked up his spoon. The Wrecw moved off toward the serving table and got an other plate of soup. He felt as though he were treading on air. He did not believe he was going to mind waiting on the hog, after all;,it was so much satisfaction to fool him. The head of the ranch ate his soup with purposeful speed, pushed back the plate and began drumming on the table with the tips of his thick fingers. “It’s a fine telephone service we get out here,” he grumbled. “I sup pose that girl hasn’t bothered her head about it since.” “But of course it may take time to locate him, father,” said Miss Underwood. “It ought not to. What’s a sheriff for? He’s supposed to be within call, if I know anything about his busi ness. Here’s a bunch of highway robbers running around the country and I dare say he’s never heard about it. And they talk about im proving the roads for tourists!” Jerome Underwood’s voice trailed off in a low growl and he continued to drum with his fingers. “Well, I wanted to take a shot at the one in the road and you would not let me,” complained Chester. ‘That would have been fine busi ness, wouldn’t it?” observed his father. “He’d have shot every last one of us before you could lift your finger. You never had a chance af ter you got out of the car. If you wanted to take a shot at him, why didn’t you do it before vou climbed out?” “But it was just a bit unexpect ed, father. We didn’t think—” Underwood silenced his son with a gesture. “Os course we didn’t think. We didn’t think that the country was running wild, with a lot of despera does doing as they damn please. But we found out differently, didn’t we? You shoot at him! Why, there were three more of them up by “In buying a piece of jewelry I had an interesting experience. After asking prices in various second rate shops, I summoned courage to step into a store whose name is famous around, the world. To my surprise, the price was actually lower—and there was no suspicion about the quality.” Our store is not known around the world, but—lt does stand for highest quality.

I say there were three men, lined up at the side of the road—with guns. VV hy, if it hadn't been for them I’d have had the other one.” The Wreck collected the soup plates and piled them carefully. “You could have jump* d on him while he was trying to get his car started,” observed Miss Underwood, with a nod. Her father mumbled something that did not appear to be a reply. The Wreck was feeling jubilant. He would not have missed waiting on table for the world. Now he knew how deeply he had bitten into the pride of Jerome Underwood; for even in the intimacy of the family circle Underwood had not confess ed his humiliation at the crank of th e flivver. He had been hidden from the family sight as he toiled, and now he was hiding the story. Too bad, thought the Wreck, that he had not marched the whole family up where they could see. He carried the soup-plates back to the kitchen, where "he found Sally standing in the middle of the floor, her hands clasped and an anxious look on her face. “Is it all right?” she whispered. “Sure it is,” he said. The grin on his face meant more than his words. Sally breathed deep ly and exhaled a long sigh. “I was getting anxious,” she said. “You were gone so terribly long. Didn’t they ask you a lot of ques tions, or anything?” “They’re too busy telling each other how they were held up by four men,” he observed. “Four?” “Yes—the liars. Four despera does, Underwood says. Me—” The Wreck peered down at his white jacket and apron and smiled wryly. “Me—l’m four desperadoes.” Sally did not join the smile. She was ready to admit that he was one desperado, at the very least. “Tell me everything they said, Henry.” “I’ve got to go baci. Give me the next tray full. I’ll tell you about it afterward. I’m getting some infor mation now.” Sally hurried with the tray and the Wreck went back to the dining room. Underwood was still drum ming on the table. He glanced at th e t ra y as it passed him, ceased drumming and riveted his eye on ’■he omelette. Even a dyspeptic, which the boss of the ranch was not would have viewed it with attention. The Wreck was actually proud to carry it, for not only was it an ob ject of beauty in itself, but Sally had found things to garnishh it with so that it was art in a frame. Two minutes late Underwood looked up from his plate and fixed his glance on the Wreck. | “Say, who made this omelette?” he demanded. “The cook, sir.” “Biscuits, too?” “Yes, sir.” “And th e coffee?” “Yes, sjr.” The large man helped himself to another mouthful and lingered over it. “Not the same cook who was here last summer,” he announced. “No, sir.” “Who is he?” “It’s a lady, sir-- my yvife,.” The Underwood family sighed comfortably, in ujiison.. “At last, father, we’ve got some body who can cook,’’ said Harriet. “Remember how awful “it was last’ summer!” The boss of the ranch nodded and reached for the omelette plattet. Tell your wife that she’s a good cook,” he said. “Tell her to keep it? up. Tels her to have fried chicken tonight, and browned ■ potatoes, ami beans, and corn, if site’s got anj and more biscuits. Understand? More biscuits. Coffee, too, And I want her to make some pie. If a ht hasn’t got stuff to make nie out qf, we’ll send for it. And tell her to cook a lof of everything.” Harriet Underwood frowned and glanced at her brother. I "Remember, father, the doctor I said—” “The doctor’s in New York,” in terrupted Underwood. “What he doesn’t know will never .get into his bili. Don’t forget, Williams—what ever you said your name was—hav: your wife keep rght on cookng.” The Wreck passing th e biscuits again, acknowledged the command with a nod. He was hungry him self and he hoped there would be •something left of thfe omelette, al though he could se<; that the chances were against him.

PROTEST PARIS WOMEN SMOKING ON STREETS PARIS, August 18.—A protest is being raised in the Paris press against smoking by women in the streets. ‘'After the theatre,” expostulates one writer; “it has mucome an ordi nary sight to see a woman produce her cigarette and puff away as she strolls homeward, just like the men. It is mostly foreign women, how ever, who set this far from graceful example, and. we hope they will not find many followers among their French sisters.” When You Drive East Spend a night on Lake Erie.

CLERGYMAN’S WORK ‘DULL AND TRIVIAL’ LONDON, August 18.—The rea son for the shortage of clergymen in the Church of England was de scribed in what he called “plain, blunt and even brutal language” by the Rev. N. P. Williams during a sermon he preached recently at Hol born. “The work of a clergyman is in. a great part, of a dull, tr'val kind,” h e said. “It consists mainly in the singing of choral offices which could be well rendered by a moderately efficient gramophone. The person ality of the typical clergyman, de veloped by exclusive association with women and children, the sort of thing that no self-re specting boy wants to grow into.” Mountain Excursion Friday, August 22 ROUND TRIP FARES FROM AMERICUS Asheville, N.
