PLUMMER. %E { THE DEACCAS z i 3 Deacon Job PPotier entered his kitch- ¢n and seated himsell with a deep sigh on the bench. i “What's the matter, Job?" asked Mrs. Potter. “I'm concarned, Hannah, I'm con-; carned. My sperrit is as clar as spring water, but I'm concarned about what these hyar carnal minded people will! say.” “What's happened?” inquired Mrs. Potter, anxiously. ! “1 was drivin' to hum this afternoon when who should come up to me but Mordecai Pratt a drivin’ that there two hundred dollar critter he bought irn York, hitched to his buggy. I had wagon and when she heard that crit- bit in her teeth and Mordecai wasn't nowhere ‘cept kivered with dust. Now, all these people will think I was racin’.” “Eat your supper, Job,” said Mrs. raceafter the way you've talked agin | | A ripple of laughter came from the | parlor. ‘Who's in thar?" asked the Deacon. “\Why," replied Mrs, Potter, celor-| ing, “Fred Carey walked hum with | Sarah, and he's not gone yet." | The Deacon thumped his fist on the table, | “1 won't have that man a goin’ with Sarah,” he snarled “he's a worldlin’ and sells feed to those unreginerate critters that have race horses at the | track.” “Jedge Grimes says Fred's doin' a nice business and is goin' to be a rich | man some day,” put in Mrs. Potter, “Who's Jedge Grimes?" retorted the | Deacon, disdainfully, “don’t he play | cyards?” But Mrs, Potter went up stairs be- | fore the sins of the judge were fully proclaimed, After she had gone the Deacon emp- tied his pockets of some old papers, | lack throwing theia into the stove, “Mordecai wasn't nowhere,” le chuckled and then looked at a square | picce of eardboerd among the papers It read as foliows: “Internaticial Turf Club, New York Play or Pay. 1000 Saracen Atlantic Handicap.” “I picked this hyar thing up on the | road in front of the house,” muttered the Deacon; “some carnal idjut been betting his money and a scorchin’ himself with Hell fire. I'll talk about this hyar paper at Sunday school,” | aud he replaced it in his pocket. The horses were gathering for the spring races near the village, and Fred Carey was doing a large busi- ness with the horsemen. If it were not for the Deacon's savage 0pposi- tion to his suit for his daughter's hand he would have been entirely happy. The village, being right in the shad- | ow of the great race course, naturally, ! contained some ungodly souls who | were interested in the sport, and & few evenings later the Deacon, car- | rying home a half-soled pair of boots | from the shoemaker, found them wrapped in a sporting paper. The Deacon eyed it with a hostile gleam as he unwrapped the boots in the pri- vacy of his kitchen and then his eye | caught an item in the paper: “Public interest on the winner of the Atlantic Handicap now centers on Saracen. Opening at 100 to 1 in the winter betting, his odds have dropped to five to one with ‘wise’ money going on fast at that.” | The Deacon dropped the paper and felt in his pocket. He drew forth the pasteboard card. *A thousand to ten,” he murmured, “and this hyar card belongs to the one who has it.” When the day of the race dawned the Deacon wandered about the house as a perturbed spirit. The handicap was to be run about four o'clock and by that time the Deacon was slinking about the entrance to the course in an . agony lest he be recognized and lest | Saracen should lose. | back at { | cashier at tl | men, were s He heard the cheers and shouts whick heralded the finish and a cold sweat came out over | him. Men began to come out of the entrance and seek the cars, but he | dared not ask who had won. Firally, | i ndesperation, he approached a sport- ive looking 'van and asked quavering- ly who had won the handicap. “Why, Saracen,” replied the man, “hands down und the jock looking the other skates.” “Is this your ticket?" Turf club. ed the Deacon. | The man caied to someone in the office, and in a mcment the Deacon and Fred C.orey, two very surprised ving at each other. “This "uan has the ticket you stop- asked the o L1 Pl ped,” said the cashier, “I fouzd it i front of my house,” i the Deacon. “By George!” exclaimed Carey, “I must have lled it out of my pocket when 1 was zoing to see your daugh- ter. As long as you found it, why, half of it goes to you and the other half will help to pay for the house Sarah and 1 will live in next month.” (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Japan Honors Pioneer.
