luck on this occasion. So in the pause
which followed the champions chal.
Icngc he stepped forward, and making
a stately bow, said quietly, II will take
your bet, thir >" The bully looked nj
him few moments in contemptuous

The rough and desperate men present
seemed to regard this as y very remark

challenger was nonpuSsed. He stealth
lily eyed the polite and we'll dressed

cant emphasis, "All right, old boy, but

you may know what to expect
Without further parley the colonel d.
vested himself OF coat, vest and hat, and
placed them with his cane upon the
grass, stepped out upon the road, and
put himself into position alongside the
champion. The spectators evinced the
iivllest interest in the race, and ranged
themselves along each side of the road.
Bets were freely offered at enormous
odds against the rash stranger, who GER
tainly did not look match for his
stalwart competitor; but there was few
OF these bets taken AT given signal
the men darted off amidst the wells of
the delighted crowd, For nearly the
whole distance the two contestants, who
seemed to be straning every nerve,
kept side by side, but when within about
twenty yards of the goal, the colonel.
by dnt Of extraordinary effort shot
ahead and won the race, He was now
the hero Of the hour, and as he walked
back to the starting point, exhausted
and almost brcathleSs, he was heartily
cheered by the excited spectators. His
opponent came up promptly and paid
him the fifty dollars, and at the same
time challenged him for another trial.
