sweet faced girl, in whose eye tear
had stood so close behind the laugh she
had given Jack at parting. And it all
tempted me forward. Still it would be
I a foolish thing to ruin all so near my
journeys end by letting my now suf-
fering horse go off from her feet for
want of few minutes rest.
Corenca stood quiet enough now,
| with head down and heaving sides, but
with the fire still unquenched in her
flashing eyes. Reluctantly dismount-
ed and loosened the saddle girth a lit
tle Then a sight met my eyes that
stayed my hand at the fasteningy
while I looked again, to bring me a
moment later back into my seat. For
the first time that day urged Corenca
beyond the limit of her chosen speed,
and right nobly did she struggle to re-
spond. But the heaving sides told
their own story of a conquered body
still Keeling forward under the impetus
of an unyielding will. Poor. faithful
servant! 1t was, then, to be a race
to the death-of my horse or my friend
and in that choice Of course the
dumb brute had to lose.
Now that the decision had been Fore
ed upon me, spared the use of neither
whip nor spur upon Corenca-Corenca
to whom no one had ever before dared
to teach the use of either. No more
thought Of trying to save her-just to
get the last ounce out of her before she
fell. Far ahead, just leaving Halsey-

rushing toward us, which realized to
be the mayors automobile, bearing
town. For a few miles his route lay
straight toward me, but presently the
road forked, and the red spot would
bear out of reach the one man whose
presence would awe Jacks pursuers
into submission at word. If I could
me smart little ride to the town. If
I failed 1 feared me much that all my
efforts were doomed to failure-that
the game was up. Well, it would never
be Corenca's fault. AS / noted her
and unsteady gait I could
not but hope that when she did go
down she would be out of her misery
soon. Again and again 1 urged her on,
heartsick as I felt the futile struggle
she was making under me. 1t was a
losing race. Still, she lost it, by so
narrow margin that she won for me.
Already the electric steed was about
to swing around the curve and leave
me such a few rods behind when Co

will, plunged wildly into
the air and sank dying to the earth.
Her race was over, but she had been

pair of sharp eyes, not the mayors,
saw the accident and gave in quick
report. So it happened that instead of
leaving me helpless they presently
drew up by my side and looked down
on me crouching by the dumb brute's
head.

pretended the story tried to tell
them of Jack, and it wasn't his voice

sign now told me that she had made
her run at an awful expense to her
self. Once she began to show fatigue
it seemed as if her dissolution was to
be as rapid as her flight had been.
The willful flirt of her head she had
left miles behind, and she stumbled a
little sometimes as she still galloped
faithfully on. Each breath was d
heave and gasp now, and the white
foam that fell from her mouth was oc-
casionally colored with red. Should

crowd her through? Back among the

rushing ahead at a speed that was ter
rifle, but felt impatient that it was not
greater still The breath of the whirl-
wind might have been tame to my
quivering, overweight nerves. Shut
out of the material world by this cloud
wall, longed for a thrill of expectant
danger to break up the depressing
sense Of isolation. It wasn't the call
for haste so much as the call of impa-
tience-a mind taken entirely out of its
realm of accustomed comparisons and
clamoring for sensation rather than ac-
complishment.
Such were some Of my chaotic Inn
pressions when suddenly became con-
scious of objects about me and realized
that we were slowing down. The green
gray ribbons took on a spotted aspect
which gradually expanded into some OF
scious of sudden relief to get back

flying belt of the morning, then grad

mountains, trees and human forms and

"Jack!" came feminine scream from
the front seat Of our vehicle. Then
noticed for the first time my friend in
the midst Of the group of men, still on
his feet, but with telltale rope dam
Cling from limb directly over his
head.
We carried him back with US pres

seat beside the feminine voice, while
the mayor and /, as befitted our official
rank, rode in front. Thus we proceed

now anxious to do homage to the man
they meant to have slain in the name
of the law. In a little real haste and a
good bit of spite we hit up their gait
quite briskly ere they finally parted
company with us after many goodly
wish and shake of Jacks hand; then
away like the wind for Halseyville.
Faster and faster over the road that
Corenca had galloped SO we'll till the
ribbons swung up to their old place
again and cut off our view of the
plains, on past where the avengers
that morning had thought they would
stop me and while getting their lesson
in thoroughbred temper lost just the
small margin of time that saved Jack
until our return, on splash through
the ford where my horse slaked her
thirst just before rushing on to her
death, on past where l held up to rest
and to feed her-a brief rest it proved
and the last she was ever to have-on
past where she fell and doubtless now
made up her part in the greenisfl gray
ribbon which unrolled beside us. Then
we rolled into Halseyvilie and found
some unusual excitement ahead, where
group of rough men were attempting
to corral a game little mare whose
speed. they declared, was as swift as
the wind and who still held the devils
own temper.

Jacks horse, we headed her off across
the country toward her old home

at Corenca, paving impatiently at the

to bring an avenging posse down on

Bill Morgan brought the word. It

hunted life led him to pity in his I'M

out warning, or possibly he had some
personal memories to be avenged. Any

Jack. 1t seemed that was not con-

Tarpon's skillful planning, or perhaps

Vengeance was to be taken upon Jack

SLY TRICKS OF THE
VETERAN WREsTLERs.

A well known grappler was telling
some quaint stories about knights OF
the mat the other night, and he said.
among other things:
whenever was about to engage In
a. contest saw to 1t that my man was
thoroughly examined before I went
against him. always made 1t my duty
to look out for that grease gag II
could, because knew that It was de-
cided factor in aiding any person who
INDUCED in 1t. II found that he was
creased appealed to the referee at
once and insisted upon the man being
thoroughly washed with alcohol and
cleaned up. If wanted to stretch a
point could then and there have him
disqualified. There are forty kinds OF
grease a person can use In such tricks.
Take cold cream. cocoa butter and a lot
of others. Rub in right and the stuff
will never come out or show until you
have worked hard enough to make the
sweat appear.
Charley wittmer, the clever Greco
Roman athlete from Cincinnati, had q
great experience in this direction when
he met the late Yousouf. The pair put
up great struggle, the affair going for
three hours, the result being q draw.
Yousouf was creased to the limit, so to
speak, and it was herculean task to
keep hold, no matter how firm 1t was
applied, for more than few seconds at
best. AS soon as Wittmer locked his
man his hands would become full Of
grease and slip off.
George Bothner came near being the
victim Of one Of the foulest tricks play
ed on the mat to my knowledge. II
was many years ago, and George was
just budding as a professional wrestler.
Every time Bothner came in contact
with the top of his adversary's head
feeling of nausea stole over him, and he
got sick at his stomach. But, az fortune
would have 1t, Bothner threw his man
for the first fall with scissors hold.
When Bothner got to his chair he stag
gered, but he had presence OF mind to
say to his seconds:
"eExamine that fellows head before
he gets to his dressing ROOM
1.-THE examination was promptly
made, and it was discovered that the .
fellows. head was saturated with g
drug, the fumes of which would cause
in the course Of time.
The trick cost Bothner's opponent the
match then and there. That he did not
receive severe drubbing, too, was be-
cause the police saved him by hustling
him out of the building.
s'The worst dose Wittmer ever got in
the way of trick was when he met
Sebastian Miller, the stone crusher
and all round strong man. Miller had
powdered rosin on the soles Of his
shoes. Every now and then he would
get behind Wilmer when the latter
was on the floor, and rub his hands
against his soles, and then secure .
body lock. In this way he was able to
rub the stuff on Wittmer's body from
the waist to the chin. Wittmer thought
that some one was saving his bones
when the rosin came III contact with
his skin and suffered considerably
while the contest was in progress.
