Quinn did not realize until yesterday
the condition of affairs and he at once
made an assignment.
The liabilities are not far from $15, Co.,

Mr.. Quinn owns two or three houses,
worth perhaps $1,000 each. All this prop

ly, has no property, ct least none of any

creditors through the exertion of his
caustic wit. One day he sat in the

Reuben Tires when he greeted his
nephew on the following morning and
cbeerily bade him prepare to accom-
pany him to the scene of the great
race, since he wished his dear George
to witness his triumph over the bla'
tant Springer. Van Spoke obeyed the
command. BY tan o'clock the two
were spinning to The scene of the con
test.
They reached the starting point al
Speckled Trout inn some minutes be
fore the time agreed upon. The other
contestant, with anumber of his grand
children, was already on the ground
as were several neighbors, who were
to act as referees and officers. The CON
ditions were amicably settled-twc

ers to have minute start.
A boy arrived to announce that the
judges were at their post at the end OF
the course. All was in readiness.
George held his uncle's sweater when
the time came for the old man to go to
the mark. The signal was given and
away went Mr.. Springer, his venera.
BILE head bent low over the handle bar,
hidden from view by his back,
which was raised like the hump of q
camel A minute. Then off shot Reu-
ben Tires, his eyes fixed on the ground
just ahead, every muscle and nerve
strained for the trial to come.
The others followed, pedaling their
fastest to keep the racers in view. Van
Spoke took the lead, and soon left them
far behind With beating heart he spun
along, striving to keep in sight of his
uncle. He could see his red jersey
plainly. Tires was gaining. Then the
old man disappeared over the brow of
little hill. Harder and harder Van
Spoke pedaled on.
They were in view again, spinning
along the level stretch below MIN.
They were abreast now, tire to tire,
putting forth superhuman efforts.
Slowly but surely the red jersey was
going ahead of the blue and white. A
thrill of family pride shot through Van
Spoke, for his uncle was leading by
two lengths, when the contestants dis
appeared over the brow of the next hill.
Tires was leading; Tires would win.
In the elation of the moment George
forgot his treacherous scheme of the
night before. Then it came back to
him with the thought Of what might
have been. But all was we'll. His uncle
was on n peerless buster. With light
ened heart the young man pedaled on,
striving to be in sight of the finish, just
beyond the next hill.
Fast and furious he flew up the long
incline, over the brow. He looked
ahead. There was the blue and white,
alone, just crossing the finish line.
And at the foot of the long slope he
saw girls figure bending over some
thing. He sped on and in moment
was at the fateful gutter. Bleeding
and unconscious, his limbs entangled
in the wreck of his wheel, lay Reuben
Tires. Bending over him, untwisting
the spo!kes from his legs, was Ethel
Wheeling. Her Whizzer was leaning
against the fence.
