fication and repeat my words" Here
Mr.. Whinridge brought his fist down upon
the board with defiant vigor that made
the glasses jingle again. "Why. gem
tlemen, at equitable weights this patched
up crock of a leather-fapper would not
have the least chance against an honest
hunter over fair line of country"
''He can be matched against anything
You have got in your stable, when and

Squire. "Then you are on, sir. Hang

gy. "Catch weights. Name your time. "

loud shout of There To be sure he will.

left the room, taking Hartbrook with him.
Dykely followed their example, with a
grave air of deliberation that betrayed
his awakened concern. He already re-
pented him of his rashness. He felt, to
quote the language of the turf. that "he
had been rushed" into making the wager
by the exasperating taunts of the Squire,
and looking at the arrangement" from
sporting point of view, he began to have
grave doubts of the issue. His own horse
