NEW' YORK. Sept. 21. "Look at the old
rogue ears pricked, tsll a-awishlng. and he
won't run fast enough to keep himself
warm, although everybody knowa that If
he'd try ho could beat anything now run
ning on theNew York tracks," observed a
keen trainer at the Bay the other after
noon when the once line thoroughbred
Cairngorm, now turned rogue, was clomp
ing along In the Bulks, far In the rear of
a very ordinary field of horses. "There's
a crackerjack that can't be figured on at
all any more now that he's' turned mean
and cunning and sour. He was meant for
one of tho clinkers of the game. But he
lias always been more or loss of a sulker.
' Mow he's gone completely Into the rogue
etass, and there's no curing that.
"Fortunately not ninny of them do go
cunning that way. Still It's easy to ro-
member plenty of instances of soured
horses. Ormonde's Right, for instance, was
meant for a topnoteher. But his disposi
tion wan always against him. He was a
maneater from an early age and had to be
muzilrd. He had the conformation and the
power to run fast and all day, but he
turned cranky and mean and crafty early
lu his career. He'd have been one of the
main ones If It hadn't been for that. To
ward his finish on the main tracks he'd
have a decent streak occasionally and then
something could be got out of him he'd
Just forget to sulk, that Is.
"Cnder. bamboozling and petting and ca
jolery he'd go out once In a great while
and put It all over the bert of them, but
even his trainer never could tell when that
one intended to run straight and true, and
usual things that are tried to nip tha
sulky bug In horses from the beginning.
But Sly Fox, a horse that possessed one
of the most dazxilng turns of speed ever
seen In an American thoroughbred, went
from bad to worse before being shipped
to England.
"He was all the greater rogue for the
fact thai he pretended In his work thst lie
was just crasy to race. He almost pulled
his exercise bay out of the saddle in taking
lils exercise gallops and atood willingly
and docilely at the webbing when being
schooled at (he barrier, thua deliberately,
it almost seemed, seeking to throw aut the
Impression among his hopeful handlers that
ha was aa awaet aa a aeasoned walnut.
And he'd keep up this mean deception
tight till post time In his regular races,
parading to the barrier with the others
with all the politeness of a dancing
master. '
"As soon aa ha faoed the flag In an actual
race, however, he'd begin to prop himself
i like a blllygoat that thinks he can stop a
' trolley car, and then the betters who'd gone
1 to the horss on the theory that he might
act as nloe 1n a race as in his gallops had
j to groan in spirit to see Sly Fox get left at
I the post almost every time.
"I waa one of the unwise ones always
taking a chance on Sly Fox In the days
when his temper was first beginning to
I sour, before he left this country for Eng
' land. The horse's price went up in every
I raoe, of course, when the layers saw what
' a cinch tt was that be wouldn't get off or
run anything like the raoe he was capable
I of running, but I always fell for the chance
'that some day old Sly. Fox would change
J bis mean mind and fool them all.
"I waa In that state or mind one day
when I dropped Into a poolroom In Chicago,
' where I was preparing a horse for the
I American Derby, Just to take a look at the
board, and saw Sly Fox's name chalked Up
among the starters In a stake race on a
j New York track.
I "When I noticed that they were offering
! JO to 1 against him I was particularly In
i mind to take a chance on the rogue. That
! struck me as being all out of line on the
j Sly Fox hcrse, no matter how badly he'd
been acting, and ao I dug Into the pa lams
and brought out a fifty to bet on him. A
I lumber of crordes who were with 'me Joshed
ne. but I shoved in the fifty and got a 11.009-
to-$50 ticket to hold in my hand while the
' agonliing calling off of the race was being
' done by the operator.
" 'There they go. at Oravesend!' the oper
ator sang out. 'Warrenton In the lead.'
hen naming a couple of others that were
! second and third at the quarter, and then
my pals In the room had their swell chance
to give me tho rib poke when the operator
gave the bawl. 'Sly Fox left at the post!'
"Unable to stand their rough guying In
those circumstances, especially as they had
all played Warrenton on cop and Warren
ton called out aa being away out in front
right Into the stretch I started for the
door, with my ticket In my mitt ready to
be torn up.
"Well. I leave it to you to figure out how
stunned I was when the operator, after
having, of course, made no mention what
ever of Sly Fox since the announcement
that he'd been left at the post, came out
with the whoop:
" 'Sly Fox wins, e-e-e-easy, by five
lengths!'
"Naturally enough, everybody In the
room took that for a mistake. But it
wasn't any mistake. It was simply an ex
ample of the ability of the Sly Fox rogue.
Sly Fox really had been left absolutely at
the post In that race. But when the field
was a good fifty yards in front Of him he
suddenly made up his mind that he didn't
care to be beaten that day and he set sail
for 'em. He caught them one by one
around the far turn, and he nailed War
renton, the leader, right within the six
teenth pole, breaking that one's heart, and
he romped down to the wire by the five
lengths mentioned by the . Chicago oper
ator. "Well, I got my $1,000 win, but I didn't
bet after that on any more notorious
rogues. I found It too exciting."

"and getting younger every day, thank
you," as he cheerily says.
For nineteen yeara he lias been a familiar

He Is a typical down-east Yankee, and
the slight nasal drawl that characterizes
his every word fits In well with the red

jacket with the long lapels and the flag,
covered plug hat which he wears. Ills
long, thin white locks-and chin whiskers
and rugged features bronxed by the desert
suns complete the picture.
When asked why he dons his coaspicuous
garb and assumes his peculiar role, he re
pllea .only that he does It to ainu.se him
self, and provide, an occupation for his de
clining years. In Art son a, however, where
ho la well known, they tell & different
story. It is this:
Uke all New Englandere, 6mith was pa
triotlo and wanted to go to war. H made
two attempts to enlist, but owing to a
physical disability he was rejected.
Thoughtless ones twitted him upon re
maining behind while they were marching
to the front, and this aspersion on his
patriotism preyed on his mind.
Finally In desperation he resolved to
proposition. Ordinarily he'd stand stock
still at the barrier, or wheel when the bar
rier flew up, or If he got off he'd aulk if
the boy tiled to kick him a little to make
him overtake . his flying field, and then,

wife was suffering Intensely with a bad
sick headache and her hostess suggested J
that she should go to her dressing room '
and rest for a while. The darkened room
(only one gas jet by the dressing table
was lighted and turned half off) proved a
welcome refuge from the glare and heat
downstairs, and Mrs. Blank rested quietly
on the lounge In an alcove out of sight.
She had been there some time when the
door was pushed gently open and a young
girl came to the dressing table, and stood
arranging her hair. Just as Mrs. Blank
started to call her by name, the girl quietly
took up two very handsome, solitaire dia
mond stick pins from the jewel box on the
table and deliberately pinned them In her
dress. Mrs. Blank was too petrified to
speak and the girl glided out of the room
as quietly as she had entered. Mrs. Blank,
considerably frightened, sent for her
husband, and related what she had seen.
He at once called the hostess aside and told
her o this occurrence. As the guests were
leaving the young girl stepped up to her
hostess to say good night. The latter
smiled.
"Good night, my dear," she said soltly
"Pardon me, I think some of my Jewelry

she quickly leaned over and drew out the

HOW YARN CAN CUT STEEL'
Remarkable Experience of a . Per
teatlarr Convict to Gala "
Liberty.
When Warden McCIaughry of the United
States penitentiary at Leavenworth goes
to the National Prison congress In Chicago
this fall, he will take along something that
will set the prison men of the country to
thinking. It will be In the shape of a
piece of steel, about eight inohea in length
and of about the same thickness as a
broomstick.
This piece of steel was cut out of a cell
In the new United States penitentiary by
Bob Clark, one of the famous mutineers,
now serving a life sentence. This job was
done without the aid of a saw.
Clark cut the steel bar out of his cell
with the strings unraveled from his prison
Socks.
Many of the prison officials refused to
believe the story when tt came from
Clark's own Hps, but he "showed" them.
Warden MoClaughry gave Clark a string
and a piece of sandpaper and told him to
go to work on another bar. He wanted to
aee the work done with his own eyes. He
posted a guard to aee that Clark didu't
shirk In his work. Clark atarted In on
the Job at 10:30 o'clock In the morning and
at t o'clock in the afternoon he had lh
bar in two. He used only one string.
When he did the work on the sly he used
four or five strings out of his old socks.
He consumed eighteen hours when he
sawed the bar In an attempt to gain hla
freedom. Then ha had nothing but sand
to put a rutting edge on his strings. Whsa
he had aandpaper he naturally oould work
