Did You Ever Bet a Hundred-to-One Shot? Continued from Fifteenth Page boss and killed Wedge on the spot. He was arrested and lodged in jail at Upper Marlboro, charged with murder. It took more than prison bars, however, to kill the love the little rider had for McFonso. Even with the specter of the gallows staring him in the face, he was sclici- tous for the racer, as can be seen in the fol- lowing letter written by him to Mrs. Keys from the Upper Marlboro jail, in August, 1897: “Dear Boss Lady.—I will write to you to let you kncw that I am well. You must excuse me for not writing sooner, because I had no money to buy paper with. I am sorry that I am in Jail. It was done in self-defense, and I hopes to come out all right. Yoy must send me some - thing good from the farm. Give my regards to Miss Lizzie. Tell Mr. Enie to watch Ike Moore, and when he is riding McFonso not to let those Baltimore people get near him.

He was ably defended. but the jury held him responsible for the killing and he was sent to the Maryland Penitentiary for 10 years. He died in prison. McFonso lived to be 24 years old and seemed to improve with age, a proof of which lies in the fact that at 20 he won a huge silver cup ac the Colesville, Md., horse show by finishing first in a hurdle race which included among its en- trants several fairly fast youngsters. This race, run in the Summer of 1914, was the old geld- ing's last, and the ovation accorded him when he galloped back to the judges will be told ang retold for generations among racing folks of Maryland. Ben Ray, on whose farm the horse show was held, and Fred Page, gentleman rider who piloted the old hurdler to victory, were so car- . ried away with his performance that they actually hugged and kissed the horse after the race, much to the delight of the monster crowd in attendance. And when “Ma” Keys, accom- panied by her daughter, Miss Lizzie, her son Enie and her four grandchildren, bundled into the old family carry-all and started back to Linden, leading their much-beloved thorough- bred by the halter, the entire assemblage arose en masse and, in one mighty chorus, sang: “Put on your old gray bon-net, With the blue ribbons on it, And we'll hitch Mc—Fonso to the shay, Through the fields of clo-ver We wiil ride to Dc-ver On our golden wed-ding day!"” Worlds Gold Production. F all th: gold produced in the world since Columbus set forth on his voyage more than four centuries ago were cast into a solid cube it would be only 38.5 feet each way, according to estimates by the Bureau of Mines. This would repres:nt only slightly more than a billion ounces, which, at the prevailing price of $20 an ounce, would make a sum not beyond .the purchasing power of a mere handful of the richest men in the world. More than half of the total of gold produced was mined in the first 27 years of the present century.
