They got off to a stragglin' start, with
Spendall dead last. They came into the

the strangest thing you ever dreamed Of
happened. Like a flying demon Spendall
came along, passed the whole bunch as

sir. He had speed for dozen races. an
he was goin' to use it up. Like streak
he went around the mile track again and

"Oh, the hush that came over the Gut
after that race Snyder almost tainted
when he remembered that the ring was
full of 100 to l against Spendall, an he
hadn't put up a dollar. The chance of a

then kicked that fellow half around the

What does Snyder do but get new ideas
Of SpendalPs speed, and run himself way

up against 1t, for Spendall never won an
other race. and here he is now. draggin'
this very milk wagon you're riding in UP

How did get Spendall again? Why,
Snyder turned him loose-threw him out
of the stable-and naturally he put right
over to my bin. where he'd had good
