Falsetto horse had turned a mile and a quar-

cause 10 had been conclusively shown in
previous races at a mile and over that the

but receded to 4, as the really big money
was not placed on him. Miller, who is a
popular idol, and has a large following, had
held a half a point below Dandelion in the
speculation. James McLaughlin's Oxford
was figured to have Il chance and his hackers
snapped up 10 to ! GA gerly, but Toka lon went
to 80 to l before those who had the tip
began to get their money on. Security, the

While the horses were being groomed
and Raddled the paddock was alive with
notables of the turf. Nearly all of them
figured the race between Dandelion and
Lark, whose stalls were surrounded
while the trainers were giving the final
Instructions to the jockeys. But nobody
took any notice of Tokalon. Owner Fuller,
with several stable hands, got the mare
ready, and when Bedell was about to climb
into the stirrups he was told to secure "a
nice position II possible, rate the mare
along for about n mile and then ride her out
for all that was in her.
I'll come home with the money" said
Bedel to Fuller. Don't worry about it;
The race is in now"
Il only wish it was, y replied Fuller, with a
grim smile, "for you bet I need the money,
and l need 1t badly. Do your best"
The sharp notes Of the bugle now rang

thousands of men with battered
hats, rumpled clothing, yet all good ma

he pressure of their weight. They rushed
into the grand stand, which was top

most uncomfortable place inside the fence,
