About o'clock yesterday morning John
Callan put on his good clothes, cantered
up and down the paddock time or
and made a public announcement that he
was off to town to decorate graves. He
then sought out Decker, the Maui mag
nate" and soicitously enquired if 1t was
not about time that individual went to
breakfast. Mr. Decker remained wrapt
in thought for a few seconds and then
an idea seemed to strike him and he re-
piled that he guessed it was about feed
ing time and that he would drift down
to Long Branch right away. This APP
pedred to satisfy Callan and, after in
structing his stable lads to take Agra
walton and Amarino out on the road,
presumably to exercise them, the willy
John winked at himself twice and
Stra1ghtWay vamoosed.
Every one else, thinking the mornings
work was through with, set about get
ting breakfast ready. There was one ex-
ception, though. The man from Maui
smelt a rat in Callan's honied solicitude;
he saw it floating in the air, and made
up his mind to nip it in the bud. To ac-
complish this design he hied him to the
grand stand, lit his corncob aud awaited
developments.
His waiting was not in vain. Presently
the two horses emerged from the back
stretch entrance to the track and were
soon negotiating a mile journey.
Callan had managed to hoodwink most
of the wise ones, but Decker euchered
him to the old refrain of We've Both
Been There Before"
