Agreed" said Perkins. "Here
! is form drawn up granting the
firm of Perkins & Blackler the
option for one month. Only your
signature is necessary
The paper was signed, and Per-
kins rose to leave. eff nothing
comes of it, no one will be one
cent the poorer" he said.
"That's all right" said Thomp-
son.
Perkins hurried 10 the rotunda,
where he found Blackler waiting
for him. "We've got it all right,
all right" he chuckled. 'Now
there is some tall hustling to be
done in the next four weeks"
There were many more conf
dental talks, between the men,
bers of the firm, as the plan of
campaign was mapped out. And
before a week was over Blackler
left for st. Paul.
Arriving there in the morning,
he went to a hotel, and took a
room. After making careful tot
let, and breakfasting, he spent the
morning in renewing some old
acquaintance and, after luncheon,
he strolled to the Office Of one of
the best known men of money in
the city. He sent in a card and
was admitted.
John Warner, in whose presence
he found himself, was a man of
middle age and medium height,
with business written all over him.
He shook hands with his visitor
and invited him to be seated.
"Well. Mr.. Blackler,' he said,
"what can I do for your
"Mr. Warner, I have come to
offer you chance to make a pay
ing investment. ;"
ooh really! Well, I might say,
in the first place, am very con-
sentative in my enterprises. Any
thing of a doubtful nature will
hardly appeal to me-"
'There is nothing doubtful
about this I assure you," said
Blackler. cit is bound to pay
from the outset"
"Well, what is it?'' asked the
man of money.
Blackler explained. II have
just come from Winnipeg. That
city, as you know, is growing at
an enormous rate. There is a
great scarcity of houses, and the
hotels are crowded. These latter
are charging extortionate rates,
and turn people away daily. There
is literally no limit to the posi-
bilities in the hotel business in
that city. My partner, Mr.. Per.
kins, and I, have been offered the
largest hotel in the city. and in the
best location, at a price. We con-
slider the price reasonable, but are
unable to raise the money to close
the deal. So we are constrained
to find a purchaser at a price
which will leave us fair commits
sion. We have the option on the
hotel for one month, and hope to
sell it before that time is up. The
price we ask is two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Are you
interested?'
II am not sure" said Mr.. Warn
er. II never was in the hotel
business"
"That property will be worth
five hundred thousand dollars in
five years." said Blackler.
"Well, TIL think about it. Come
and see me tomorrow"
He dismissed Blackler, and sat
down to mediate.

Kansas City Times. A carload of them
We're turned loose recently on a piece
Of ground on the Branham- Hearn farm
for the purpose Of exterminating rat
tlesnakes. The plot of ground is thick
ly covered with underground, and
there are SO many rattlesnakes on it
that workmen are afraid to enter it to
clear it up. Goats were suggested, and
Hewitt Bros, the proprietors of the
farm, ordered carload at once. The
experiment is being watched with much
interest. Goats on the state farm at
Columbia have proved their efficiency
In the clearing of thickly covered
ground, but some doubt II they will be
able to exterminate the snakes as well.

ORMOND, Fla. Jan. 81. - Ii. W.
Fletcher in an eighty horsepower ma
chine won the hundred mile race over
the OrInond-Daytona Beach course i'll
IS minutes 81 seconds. The course had
seven turns, and it is believed the time
made will stand as a worlds record for
some time to come. The winner was
not picked out by the crowd as likely
to head three or four of the other start
ers.
There were Il number of accidents to
machines, trifing for the time being,
but of sufficient importance to put
them out Of the running.
The cars were started one minute
apart, leaving in the following ORDER
Arthur L. Macdonald. driving his nine
ty horsepower; A. LIE Blanc, driving Z.

After going about sixty miles Mac
Donald stopped some distance from the
clubhouse. He was then in the lead.

-ured tire. 1t then looked as though
II. Wallace would win, the only other
nan pushing him being Mr.. Fletcher
Il his big car, yet there was plenty of
'emaining distance to he run.
During the latter half of the race ac-
idents happened 10 most of the ma
hines. Mr.. Macdonald punctured a
ire, as stated; Mr.. Stevens scared a
nut, Mr.. Sartori opened Il leak in his
iaSoiine tank and had to stop long
nough to plug it up, and there were
ther minor troubles. Meantime Mr..
Wallace and Mr.. Fletcher were plug
ring along smoothly and swiftly, with
8ernin and Sartori close in the rear.
Mr.. Wallace got into trouble with on
" sixteen miles to go. He burst an in
ner tube in his left front tire, yet he
Kept pluckily at it, made the turn at
the sixteen mile post and finished sixth
instead of first or second. with only
three tires IN. When Mr.. Fletcher
saw the Wallace machine hopping
along on three legs he realized that
Bernin and Sartori were his closest
competitors. AT the same time Mr..
Christie and lie Blanc in Mr.. Shanley's
'ar were pegging along in good shape,
Ill having had an uninterrupted run
Except Mr.. Sartori, who had to stop

.Sartori, with seven and eight miles
cad over Fletcher in the order of get
ing away at the start. finished the
ace first, but there was Fletcher peg
