LIE DID N HE
ii DIDN'T WANT TO BET.
Busy Afternoon the Resurrection
Horse Caused at It's Last
Temperance.

I'm Just through reading that The
Huguenot went the way Of all fertilizer
up in Seattle last week. observed Bob
McKeever, the horseman. Peace Il his
ashes or gluel He didn't owe me any
thing when he cashed in. But he gave me
q busy afternoon once.
They fell into the way Of calling him
the resurrection horse because he was
retired finally no less than three times
And after each Of these three times he
was brought back when forgotten and
won q cracking race on his first out.
Long before The Huguenot's almos,
forgotten name showed up among the
entries at the Gravesend track a couple
Of years ago the old fellows number had
been handed to me as something worth
Watching out for. But when his name
finally did pop up among the Gravesend
entries it happened that I was unable to 60
TO the track. SO l dug up a friend and
gave him 500 to be stuffed in on The Hugue-
not straight.
He laughed at me.
Into the kick for this he said, sticking
the 500 note in the watch pocket Of his
trousers as II be really meant 70 bury IL
Easiest piece Of the yellow pulp l ever
went South with
Newer mind about that I told him.
II you plant that hundred and don't get
It OF you'll have to move to Avenue A and
stay there till I've cashed In. The Hugue-
not's going to trudge.'
You can rave those trudgers,' he said.
4 saw The Huguenot yesterday. He looks
like q Chinese horse-enough wool on him

-four knees the size OF Hammerstein plug
hats. And a cough like Mike Clancy's
voice when he's roofing something homo.
And Q lot Of other things. D see where
that hundred is sunk, don't your pointing
TO the little pocket where he'd put ths note
away. Well, I'm on my way-here's
my oar
Take any PRICE I called after him,
and he grinned back on his lope for the
crosstown car, but made nc reply.
Half an hour later I was called up by q
trainer ! knew.
Say he said, NIX on The HuguenCt
to-day. He amt meant. He's going to
also tag for the end book, They a the
tip on him's all over the works, and the
fatheads II be slaughtering each other to
sledge the price down-and then maybe
the next time the old horsell fetch home
the pelts, but not to-day and he hung
the receiver before I had a chance to
ask him to dig up the outside man who
had my 800 for The HuguenOt, and TO flag
him on making the bet.
1T was then about time for tho races
to begin. I went out into the street, and
every oom player l met showed The
Huguenot at ME.
It's insky,' they all told me, and then
/ felt sure that my trainer friend had IL
hot word was out, the price
would be gnawed hike shrimp bait by a
school Of hardshell crabs, and The Huguenot
would get into a pocket or something and
finish up very also.
so l sent a hurry up wire to my betting
man at the track, telling him that The
Huguenot was going to pedal for Sweeney,
and b permit that hundred Of mine to
swelter in his nankeens.
'Id hardly got back to my room before
l was tinkled up at the phone by another
It's a Christmas box by express he
breathed panttngly through the phone.
You bOtter hustle 70 one Of the rooms and
