Imagine the feelings of Gallup. After making that throw Ephraim walked round and round in a circle for at least half a dozen times. "That's abaout the most expensive gol-darned fool thing I ever done!" he mumbled to himself. "Waal, by gum, I deserve it! Any man that's fool enough to bet every dollar he's gut in the world on a baseball game oughter lose.
And then the strangest thing of all happened: the forest faded away into its own shadowy distances, and in its place was a noisy, crowded, sun-baked street, and across the street was eagerly hurrying an anxious little girl, a frail little wisp of a girl who probably should not be crossing hot, noisy streets at all then a light in tired eyes, a smile upon a worn face, relief as from a cooling breeze and anyway, suddenly furious at the lady, furious at himself "he'd be gol-darned if it wasn't her picture!"

We put up the money; I turned and won.

I hear you say, "But that was an extreme case." Perhaps it was, but it supports the verdict of the old mountaineers who refuse to let any horse they prize be saddled with "those gol-darned woman fripperies."
