BIRDS CAUSE HORSES' DEATH
Veterinarian Explains a Trypanosyo-
mla Epidemic In Kentucky-
Is Like Pellagra.
Louisville, Ky.—Blackbirds carrying
Infection from the south are respon-
sible for the death of great numbers
of Kentucky horses from a disease
akin to pellagra, in the opinion of As-
sistant State Veterinarian M. A. l'ur-
tly, who is analyzing the brains of
dead horses In an effort to II nd traces
of the germs. The disease is trypan-
osyomia, and Dr. Purdy's theory Is
that the birds Infected with it are hit-
ten by mosquitoes, which either bite
the horses, thus conveying the Infec-
tion, o^ lay their eggs in the damp
fodder eaten by the horses. Moldy
feed was at tlrst held responsible lor
the epidemics, which have been prev-
alent since last spring, but that theoiy
has been discarded.

DRUCILLA AND
THE WAGER

; Drucilla cast a furtive glance at
the toe of her shabby little loot, In
I order to make sure that It was not
protruding beyond the hem of her
i skirt.
1 An envelope was lying on the floor
I of the subway car at her feet. Dru-
cilla stooped and picked it up. The
envelope war. sealed and not empty.
There were few persons in the car
and Drucilla ielt herself unobserved.
She turned the envelope over and
over in her hands, then she slipped
her linger under the Hat and peered
Druciila's wide, brooding eyes lit
up, startled out of their habitual
vague dreams. There was money In
the envelope. She cast a Surreptitious
glance at the numbers in the corners
t of the bills. There were two tens and
one five. Drucilla closed the envelope
and thrust it well within her own
pocketbook and gave herself up to
multitudinous thoughts.
Elation, quickly followed by probes
from her conscience and a quick suc-
j cession of the urgent needs she had
j for the money, chased through the
girl's mind.
Down deep in her consciousness
there was the certain knowledge that
she would seek to find the owner of
the money, but for the present that
truth was swamped in the joy of hav-
ing twenty-five dollars in her hands.
She dreamed first of the much
needed lessons in sight-reading that
she could now have. Her glorious
voice, the training for which she
went without many lunches, was lit-
tle good to her from a monetary
standpoint until she could read music.
And a position wns essential within
the next year or so. Until then, with
overzealous saving, she could eke out
her tuition.
She had just passed a window iu
■which was displayed a beautiful set of
red fox furs. Drucilla realized, with-
out conceit, that with her face framed

ha no writing-
in the shade so nearly resembling her
hair, and her eyes only the shadows
in the color scheme, it would be hard
for either choirmaster or manager to
turn her away.
She smiled whimsically. Appear-
ance was a valuable asset.
On her way from the subway to the
small room that Drucilla called home
she was haunted by the fear that she
was being followed and that the
precious money would be taken from
her, and by the more terrible feeling
that she was fleeing from capture
with stolen money In her hands.
In the privacy of her room she took
out the bills and made an examina-
tion of the envelope. There seemed
to bo no writing—nothing upon which
to bang an identification clew.
Yes! Drucilla wns guilty of sudden
irritation. There was writing on the
flap of the envelope.
"Property of C. Drayton, OO'.t Clalr-
mont avenue,'1 Drucilla read. She
sighed, but smile! whiaw.!again.
"My dream were v'n.r< :v . in 1 he-
cause they were :'.o v ;d I ha.I lieiter
go immediately to Clalrmont avenue,
before they become realities."
She donned her coat without stop-
ping to make a much needed cup of
tea.
Druciila's heart was lighted as she;
made her way to the heights by the
Hudson. Her dreams had been pleas-
ant while they lasted.
Upon arriving at No. 009, Drucilla
inquired of the elevator boy and
learned that O. Drayton was on the
ninth floor. She sent up word over
the 'phone that she was in possession
of a package, and was shown up.
A maid ushered her into the draw-
ing room, and the girl was obliged to
sit and gaze at the luxurious sur-
roundings until Mrs. Drayton made
her appearance.
Drucilla arose when a sweet, moth-
erly looking woman entered.
"Have you found that foolish en-
velope?" she asked kindly, and Dru-
cilla liked her the moment, she spoke.
Her startled eyes, however, made the
older woman continue in a depreca-
ting voice: "The dropping or that
money in the subway was the result
ol a wager made between my hus-
band and my son. My son, Carroll,
nnde the statement that he would
like to see the person who would re-
tun. money that had been found, and
my husband took him up on a
wager that nine persons out ol ten
would return it-" Drai-tw*
turned toward the door. "Here is my
foolish boy now." she said fondly, and
rose to greet <a tall, laughing niao
whose look betokened frank admira-
tion for his mother's guest.
"Oh, 1 see!" he laughed, "some oue
hiiH found—"
"And returned," supplemented Mrs.
Drayton. "Miss—Verney—1 think 1
caught the name- my son."
Oddly enough, both Drayton aud
. iruetlla were rons< lous of being hap-
py when their hands clasped. Neither
was embarrassed.
"Then you made me lose my wag-
er?" Drayton chlded her.
"1 came very near—not—doing so,"
Drucilla laughed. "You have no Idea
what dreadful temptations 1 threw
off."
Drayton and his mother exchanged
glances, and for the lirst time each
noticed the shabby little brown suit
and the brave but rather wan smllo
that struggled behind the line eyes.
And because they seemed to want
it, the girl told them her story of
study and ambitions and of the strug-
gles. Iler smile was wistful when she
finished. „
"Could you sing us one little song?
Mrs. Drayton asked, and in her ques-
tion voiced her son's desire.
Drucilla cast a startled glance at p.
the grand piano and Its distance lrom | |jy
her chair. She felt strangely weak
about the knees. It only she had
taken time to have her tea she could
have sung for these two friendly peo-
ple. As it was, she only gazed hesi-
tatingly at the piano.
That blessed sixth sense-—intuition
—gave Carroll his words.
Mother, perhaps If we had teft
first Miss Verney could give us more
VoiC6." a
Druciila's heavy eyelids lifted and
ehe gave Drayton one fleeting, grate-
ful glance. . . . „
"I have to "fess up,'" she laughed a
trifle unsteadily, "that I foolishly went
without my lunch for the joy ol
new opera score."
Ominous shadows darkened in ta -
roll Drayton's eyes, and Mrs. Drayton
swept a hand across ner own as she
rang the bell for tea.
"Miss Verney," she said, as she re-
turned to the girl's side, "If jou "WW
let me I will take pleasure In intro-
ducing you to the musical coterie that
we have gathered about us. It may
perhaps help you in your work."
A sunny smile that eclipsed all oth-
er light, to at least one pair of eyes,
swept Druciila's face. ,
"You are very, very kind—to an ab-
solute stranger. I—1—" She broke off.
because she felt suddenly like run-
ning over to Mrs. Drayton and having,
a good cry In those motherly arms.
She felt little and crumpled up ana
very tired, but happier than she Qpuld
remember having been. In one blind-
ing moment she knew that her strug-
gles were over; she would no longer
have to battle lone-handed In a world
where no one cared or watched Tor
her coming. Here were two Persons
wbo would herald her approach Into
a world where she knew she could
play a vital part-the world of music.
"But it is strange," Mrs. Drayton
was saying, while she busied herself
with tea, "how our friends are given
t0 us—sometimes through a trivial lit-
tle happening." She glanced uu at.
ker big son who stood waiting for a
cup for Drucilla. "I seem to feel that
Miss Verney has walked into our lives
t0 Carroll took a cup of tea and some
sandwiches to Drucilla. „
"The whole thing Is very sudden,
he said hair to himself, then an
swered his mother's questioning eyes,
"I know she is going to stay."
Drucilla smiled.
