PATTYS FAYOEITB. s rra - _ _ \ HOSE of us who go racing ( either for L a living or to be lively ) hear a large V number ol good f stories during our travels , and laugh at them in proportion tion to their merit > . and piquancy. Few ( } can be retold in discriminately. As l rule , they are libelous or demoraliz ing or both. It is not prudent to re tail them in the family circle before viators of more or less strong re ligious convictions. Happily , the story of "Fatty's" vorite may be told without fear of bringing a blush to the cheek of the youngest or most foolish person. "Who is he ? " was the question people ple asked in wonder , as they and he went on the course probably with a common purpose ( to "get a bit , " as the mission is called by those who fol low it ) ; and the reply was invariably the same , "Fatty. " That was was all. "Fatty , " pure and simple ; this seemed to satisfy pubiic curiosity. Further interrogation was considered adventurous , in view of the startling facts it might reveal. To look at him was enough , especially when he was hacking losers. Truly , "Fatty" was a remarkable character , unconventional in his life and customs , also in his ideas as to the rights of individuals , so far as per sonal property was concerned. What he wished to have he thought he was entitled to take , if the owner's atten tion was diverted ; and no man was cleverer than he in diverting owners' attention when there was anything to be taken by doing so. Not a person of high principle , he could afford -purchase the luxuries of the season in sufficient abundance to gratify his appetite , Which was im mense. To many persons of the high est principle such luxuries are un known. When in his best form "Fatty" ac complished notable feats. His favorite maneuvers were executed on the race course. He was quite at home there , and moved about , both in the ring and paddock , with immunity from assault. A friend told me this story about "Fatty" in confidence hence I pass it on in the same spirit. We were return ing from Camptown steeplechases after a bad day , and were bemoaning our anaemic condition. "This is no game , " I remarked , "for honest , well-meaning men ; " and I vainly hunted for the remnants of a cheap cigaret which I hoped had not been thrown away in better times. "Yes , it's a poor game , " said my companion/'when one loses one's mon ey in order to maintain one's rectitude cf purpose. Now look at 'Fatty , ' " he added , after p pause , rather inconsequentially quentially ; "you never hear him com plain of his bad luck. It is those who have been playing with him who lift up their voices. - He knows very well that luck wouldn't keep him in grease for his moustache and boots. " "But some of us are afraid of prison , " I murmured regretfully. "Well , just listen to a short account of what 'Fatty' did the other day , and then talk about prisons if you like. Of course , you know that at one time he kept a small coffee shop in the east end of London , and now bets in thou sands. That denotes the master mind. He is called 'Fatty * because of his stomachic protuberance , not in refer ence to any other personal distention. W ! HIHIH IIIIIIJlV RODE A FINISH. Pie looks at you , as it were , from be hind a flour-hag , especially when wear ing a white waistcoat , and he talks to you as though he would fall backwards if you pushed against it O , yes ! he's very hot , is 'Fatty. ' He's had his ups and downs , and has always faced the music bravely , whether he'd a shirt on his hack or a scarf round his neck. He's made money , too , by backing 'em on the course. " From personal experience I knew that was true , and I could not help re flecting that a man must be clever to make money at a sport by which most of us lose our little all and what we are able to borrow. Yet such a man is , no doubt , more than clever ; he does not mind what he does. My idea is that the wealthy punters are those who , if they cannot find win ners , find something else of value , and do not necessarily wait until it is lost. But the last paragraph may be treat ed as a philosophical digression , hav ing no relation to the story , which was continued by my friend as follows : "Then 'Fatty , ' after a brilliant coup , got some racehorses of his own. He was tired of backing other people's gee-gees , and wished to try how he could work them under his own pro prietorship and supervision. He had no desire to own high-class horses. He knew that money could be made out of little races as well as out of big , only with greater certainty. He had not a soul above platers ; his argument was that you can win as much with a bad horse as with a good one if you can back him with confidence to beat worse. " "Incontrovertible , " I remarked , in terrupting the story for a moment ; i "but I never could find worse than _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fg J. , - - k.i . " ! _ _ ' ii mine. Nobody ever had such bad onea as those which I collected with great care at a small expense. " "No one ever accused you of know ing the game , " said my friend , severe ly. "You should only go out with a barrel organ and a monkey , being tied to its tail. You might be clever enough to take the pennies if the donors placed them in your hand , closed it over them tenderly , and swore you to secrecy. But 'Fatty' was a perfect tradesman. He was after the nimble ninepenco every time. He used to back his platers when it was good enough to dose so ; when not , he used to let other peo- ' pie back them , and invest his money on something else. It is a beautifuf game so long as you can play it with ' out danger from the mob or from the ' stewards. " "Who was 'Fatty's' trainer ? " I asked , ' feeling confident that position was not a sinecure. "Why , surely you know , " retorted the historian. " 'Fatty' v/ould , of course' only have one sort of trainer a man who would do a3 he was told without asking questions. Old Jerry Smiggins , " of Ripston , realized his ideal of that' character. You remember Jerry he always seemed to be trying to 'best ! somebody , and was generally in debt. Talk about the very 'warm' members , he could give most of them a start over what is called 'a rogue's course , ' and make hacks of 'em when it came to pure thieving. I should not like to be a dying man engaged in cuddling my money-bags for the * last time if Jerry were in the sick chamber watching my struggles. He would accelerate my doom to obtain the treasure. " "And how did his employer trust him ? " I inquired , for I had a little knowledge of the Ripston trainer , and recognized that the elegant simile as to the peril of the moribund person toying with his cash deposits was not an exaggeration. Indeed , Jerry would no doubt have also removed any false teeth that might have been in the un fortunate person's jaws , so as to get the gold to bet with. "Trust him , " replied my informant ; "well , you know how far such men trust each other. Like one hungry dog trusts a hungrier one in sight of an odorous bone. So long as both could get a bite they do not worry each other as to which secured the most pestifer ous portion. They went on well for a time , and 'Fatty's' nose reflected his prosperity to a marked extent ; it beamed upon us in the paddock and as sumed more colossal proportions and brighter tints as its owner put on flesh and added to his balance at the bank. Then came the picturesque in cident at Camptown Park previously hinted at. " Here the orator took breath and ex panded his chest before embarking on the more exciting part of his recital. Refreshed by the rest , he continued : " 'Fatty' had one of his platers in a selling race at Camptown , and on the book it had a great chance. According ly , the public made his horse favorite , and backed it down to even money in a large field of runners. 'Fatty' could not stand that ; he did not care for even money chances. So , after confer ring with his trainer , he gave him in structions to the effect that the favor ite need not exert himself unduly in the race , and that precautionary meas ures might wisely be adopted with that end ( the wrong end ) in view. Having arranged matters to his satisfaction , the astute owner of the favorite went into the ring and backed a horse which he believed was a certainty while his candidate enacted the part of spectator. A jockey who would listen to reason when it took the form of ready money was riding the favorite. Therefore it was that when the horse cantered to the post 'Fatty' felt slightly above him self his usual sensation when he con sidered that he was backing one cer tainty in a race , and laying against another certain not to win. "The result of the race , however , was not what he desired. The favorite had more in hand than his owner or train er thought. His jockey could not quite hold him ; thus he found himself near home in view of the public before he was able to get a pull. It was then too late , pull as hard as he could. People would see him ; he might be warned off. Naturally fearing that disaster , he sat down and rode a finish of con siderable merit , making a dead heat of it. You may imagine his employ er's awful sensations. He had backed one of the dead-heaters to win a large stake ; he had laid against the other to lose a lot of money ! "Then Jerry Smiggins appeared in the paddock , and held conference with his patron. The result seemed satis factory to the latter ; he whispered a few words to his trainer , and Jerry hurried away again as though on a mission of importance. It was so , for that dead heat was never run off ! " "They agreed to divide ? " I asked , in nocently , having no idea at that time what bad men will do to get money. "Agreed to divide ! " repeated my friend , with scornful emphasis. "Fancy 'Fatty' dividing anything with any body when he had a chance of collaring the lot ! When the time arrived for running off the dead heat the favorite could not be found. Jerry had been to the stables surreptitiously and lost him ! " This , like other things , is , I am in formed , easily done when you know how to do it. "Fatty" still goes racing , and is far fatter than ever , especially underneath his white waistcoat. But the public do not rush after his hot favorites now ; and some of the punt ers those who bet for a living and live well at times declare that they can afford to lose when "Fatty" wins. In Town.

A few months ago ho was a i'om- plete physical wreck , from kidney trouble and diarrhoja , almost unable to get around atall. Yourcorrcspondent , who hud learned he had found relief , meeting him on the street recently , asked if he wouldn 't give him all the facts , as he was iutercstcd , as were also all his friends. Mr. Risk said he was only too plad to let the people in gen eral and his old comrades In particular ( who he knew were suffering from complaints similar to hisknow what had benefited him. He then made the following statement : "I had been suffering for years from a complication of diseases , among ( them kid ney and liver troubloand chronic diarrhoea. The greatest trouble of all , however , was the complete wreck of my nervous system , resulting from my service in the army. I was , in fact , in a most terrible and deplor able condition. 1 tried every remedy I could hear of without the least beneficial results , until I saw a testimonial of an "old veteran" who was in the sime regiment with me durinir the war ( with whoin I was well acquainted ) , stating that he had been ctfred of a similar complaint by the use of Dr. Williams'Pink Pills. 1 hada lmostgivcn up hope , but concluded at last to give Pink Pills a trial , as they might possibly help me. I began using them and soon com menced to fed slightly better : my improve ment was very slow , howcver , but still it was noticeable , and this was encouraging. In the course of about three weeks my con dition was vastly improved. To the present time 1 have taken 13 boxes of Pink Pills , aird can truthfully say 1 believe I am en tirely cured of nry kidney and liver trouble and nearly so of my diarrhoea. My nerv ous trouble , too , is so much better that I am sure a cure will be entirely perfected in a short time. "My wife also used the Pink Pills with great benefit. Her blood was in an ex tremely bad condition. Since using the pills , however , this condition has entirely disappeared. 1 consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the most marvelous discovery of the age.
