IU roily of n t'wfkf y Threw Away For tune nt the it. A number of racing men wcro chatting lunn uptown liotcl on Itroad way a few evculng since, sujs tho 'cw York Sun, iindonu o( the party, who had been abroad In cutupauy with Walton, tho famous plunder, when that heavy speulator tuado his second trip to Knitland, told how near tho American came to creating a sensation which would have made tho country ring from one end to tho other. "The vanity of n Jockey," said this man, 'Yost Walton and his friends SI,U00,0U0.and this Is how It all hap pened. Walton had In his stable among other horses Mr. l'lckwlck, .sutler and the U-ycar-old Hopeful, which he still owns and has In tho stud somewhere near New YorK. Wo had been winning our share of tho money, both on our own horses and on those of other owners and the sea sun had opened up In tho most propitious fashion. All of the Amer ican contingent took ndvlro from 'l'ctle,' as we called Walton, and wo had matte the ting wlnco several times on settling day. Sherwood, who trained for Walton, had a very hlah opinion of Hopeful, uud wanted to run him In a stako race, but wo bi-irttca him to hold otTand pick out a sell 1 11 l' event Instead, and prepared to make a coup that would be talked about for months to come. Attcr seeing the City and the Suburban run we ran back to London, nnci from there took tho train to Kpsoui, where our horses were quartered. It was our purpose to deceive cerybody as to our Intentions and that morning the noise were brought out, trotted and centered, uud carefully put away, us though they had had all their work for that day. lu the urtcrnoon, whoti the Downs wcro deserted, Hopeful and Sutler wcro brought out in company with lUchtuond, n high chts horse, then trained by Sher wood but afterward bought by Walton and brought to this country, running third lu i'ont lac's Suburban. The trial was a great success and showed us that Ilorctul was a grand .".rear-old, of quality suiticlontly high to win many stakes for raco horses of his age. Itlchiuond beat him about u length, uud the 3-ycur-old beat but jr away off; in fact we were In high feather and considered the money we intended 'to place on Hopeful in the ctuing raco as good as won. "Racing In England Is vastly dif ferent from the sport In this country, .and the great public knows tr less ubout tho merits of the horses than they do in America. Horses run tower races, are trained privately, and some times nro not seen in public for months together. As a consequence form is much harder to follow, und those, who have u bottlcd-up gocd thing and know how to guurd their secret get a price that is at times as tonishingly good. We were amazed to get as good at 10 to I against Hopeful, und the strangest part or it ull was that the more we bet tho more tho ring seemed apable of ubsorbing. Wo told our Jockey (I won't mention his name, but ho wus a good ouo in his day, and most of you know him) that we stood to win a fortune and to take no chances. From tho start lloi-eful was In a good position, and after making a splendid turn at Tottenham Corner wo began to cheer, for our chestnut beauty was striding along In front and moving over tho turf in magnlUcent stylo. A hun dred yards from tho llnlsh ire were exulting In our triumph, Ufty yards from the line nothing but a ailraclo could keep us from getting tho money. Whips ,wcro living behind us and our colt was still in hand. When 1 think of what happened thon 1 grow faint und want to swear. Our .Jockey, with tho Insane deilro ot hhowing whut a good thing It was, t ok a pull at Hopeful's hoad, tho .great, long-trldlug c.lt became tangled and wus thrown olt his str'do. Wobb was on the nearest of hit competitors, und he hud ull but given up ridlug, but, like tho great liorncmun that ho is, he gatheied his .horse, by ouo of the grandest efforts I've ever seen, milled Hopeful uud beat him on the post. I wont hroko over tho race, but nothing could slay Walton's luck that day, for dcsplto his losics on the race ho quit tho day :)rt,oao to tho good. What would lie havo won it our jockey hadu't blun dered? Full $1,000,000; and the entire story of his life might have been, changed. Hud he got that much money together t'.iey never could have mudo him surrender. I'll never for get whit Webb said after the race. It was this.

This Is a case that may nut b settled without reference to as astute mathematical and legal luminary. The Molting or Thieves. Thcro has surely been of late a very great and significant Increase In the number of child criminals that ure brought to our pollco courts. There are tuoro of them, and they are much younger than they used to be, and they are vastly "tougher." Their manner shows plalmy that the street has Lecn their teachers and that they havo been apt pupils. Its method is simple and vurlcs In Hell's Kitchen and In Jewtown only In the opportunities olTcrcd. To begin with the boy tdlor In the street during Rchool hours is there In dctlanco of law, whether tho fault Is his own or not, and he knows it. He is In tho attitude ot opposition, tho normal attitude of tho street. Tho policeman Is his cnouy and tho police man stands for the established order ot things. Thus tho ground work Is laid for whatever mischief comes along. It Is not long In coming, rarely longer than the dinner-hour of the tlrst day. Tho boy is hungry. Ho wants something to cat. A boy's hunger, is not llko a man's, which cuu be uppcaso with promises. Ho wants some thing at onco. It he is playing hookey, ho docs not want to go home to get It. Anyway, thero Is no noed to do so. The btrcotcau show him an easier way. The grocer's stand Is handy, or u pio wagon. Hotter still, a soda-water wagon; the bottlo Is worth to much cash at the Junk-shop. The driver's back is turned, tho boy "swl o" one. It Is not a very great crime, but it is tho stepplng-stono to many greater. A horsc-blan'kctor a copper-bottomed boiler may bo the not thing. It is tho lirst stop that costs an oiTort, uud that Is not u very ureal ono, with the clamor of a hungry stomach tr.uiown tho warning vol.o within him that whispers of the policeman and the inck-up. The friends ho makes in tlie street soon help him to contempt for the ono and a secret prldo for the other. Tho Century Mugazlne. reunion in ftetnnml. There's' a fresh young mnn who ionics In hero frequently," said the ticket ngont In tin uptown otatlon of tho Sixth avenue elovatcd road to a Now ork Sun man, "and ho seems to toko keen delight In giving me pennies. Everyone knows that ticket igcnts and street cur conductors also arc not permitted by their respective companies to turn in pennies when settling their accounts, and so many people who Imagine they have a grievanco against n ticket agent try tnsquareitby giving him pennies. This young mun 1 speak of bought live tickets thu other night and paid for them with tuciity-tlvc pennies. Then ho walked out onto tho plat form laughing with might and main. He comes in here a dozen times a week, and 1 can't remember a time that ho has paid for his ticket with anything but pennies. Ho scouts to think he Is making mo angry, but ho Isn't, and 1 can honestly say that I wish a doen people like him came In hero every day. It's tho same with most other ticket agents, and, although l'vo no doubt It will bo a blow to tho ponplo who seek amuse ment by trying to annoy ticket agents, I can't keep from letting them know that iLstcad of annoying they arc betiulltlng us.

In Helena recently tho pnsscsor ot s diamond ring re uested a frond to la l.o It to a reputable house und bor row 10 upon it. Tho friend com .plied and soon returned with tho money. Tho ring was placed In tho afe ly u man who furnished tho cash, thcro to icuiain until it snoulcl Ijo red eo mod. Later on No. l who pawned tho ring for No 1, concluded that ho would like to havo $i0, und as'tho Jewel was a valvuhlc ono, ho relumed to tbo man with the safo and asked for the money, which was readily furnished, the safe man sup posing tho ring belonged to So. :', ihu tnan,who pawned it. Nos. I und 'J now had sio each, provided they had not spent IL Later on' it happened that the safe man went home for the night und bis place was taken by another. The second safe man knew nothing, altout the transactions of the first safe mau concerning the diamond ring. When another man (No. U) presented hluuelt and courteously stated that be bad loft a ring In tho charee of the first safo man and de-' sired to get it, the second safe man be. ing convinced that tho ring belonged to So. 3 handed out the glittering circle of gold without unnecessary delay. No. ,' on obtaining i-osses. ion of tho ring, found that he also rtcoded some money and at once. He therefore lost no time In putting up the ring at bis uncle's for an equiva lent in coin of the realm. Tne result, says the Helena Inde pendent, Is the first safe man is out A Marbnriam In n Code. A curious caso Is reported In the law journal, New York Supplement, wblcb illustrates the hardship of an inflexible codo mado to order. Tho law of that State gives an attorney who appears for a party a leln upon his client's course of uction which can not be ulTcctcd by uny settlement be tween the litigants. This is to pro tect counsel who commence actions from being trozon outot their fco by tho parties to tho suit coming to gether und settling thulr dlsputo out of court It Is natural that lawyers should wish to protect themselves from this unpleusaut tendency of clients worn out with tho law's delay or lopcntant ot having rushed Into lltigatiou in advisedly. It was to be expected that u t odo made by curof ul lawyers should contain u provision to protect vested Interest In their clients' cases, but this Is how it works. A Mr. Crouch brought suit against Mr lloyt for $Ui',uuu damages for tho ullenutlun of tho affection of his tCiouch'sj wife. Hoyt wus arrested 'and Im prisoned, when Crouch repeated perhaps dls.ovcrcd that his suspicions wore 111 founded. At any rate lie oxocuted a uencrul release to tho de fendant and consented to his dis cbarge from Imprisonment.
