~DOneI Gnd I'll make it 5000, IL you

"No; you might start him on three legs,
won't risk more than hundred on his
not starting but here's 1000 to 1000 he
don't win, once more"
Sam Pearman shook his head, and, at
all events for once in his life, walked out
Of Tattersalls thoroughly puzzled. He
knew his horse to be perfectly well, he
had scen him that morning. AS far as he
had tried him, he had never tried three
year-old better. What were these ring
men going on?
They make great mistakes at times,
these members of the magic circle. Their
brethren of the Stock Exchange OCCASION
ally get the worst of it also; but, as
rule, either hackers or shareholders are
justified in feeling alarm at persistent
assault on what their money may be in
vested in. The decline of the favorite for
big race In the market Is hardly so dis
astrous to the world in general as bank
shares dropping twenty per cent below
| premium. Before Pearman left London
the next day, he was aware, from various
| sources, that Coriander's status in the
Letting was still further shaken, and that
as much as Eve to one had been offered
against the crack of forty-eight hours ago.
Efe thought of it all the way home, and
| felt more utterly bewidered than he had
ever done before in the whole of his turf
experience.
Could Sam Pearman have been present
| ok bal1 in SilxU IOalliSOO'a
rooms, between that astute gentleman and
Granville Rose, though he would have
been still long way from enlightened on
the subject, yet he would have learned
good deal. 1t was the Friday night before
that eventful Monday. Granville had re-
turned from Glinn the day previous. A
mouldy old parchment lay on the table
between them; it had apparently been
consulted and thrown aside.
"Rumford says the deed is perfectly
good, and Mr.. Denison Is quite certain
there has been no enfranchisement. That's
the case, Gren, isn't itT
Rose nodded, and Mr.. Dallison for a
few minutes pulled meditatively at his
cigar.
"Well," he continued, "the law part
leave to you. l presume that is all right
Eumford's opinion is quite good enough
to 70 on, and old Denison, you say, was
quite clear there has never been an en-
reimbursement Odd there should not
have been; but no doubt Pearman de-
funct was quite unaware Of the existence
of our friend here" and Dallison jerk
ed his head in the direction Of the parch'
, nent HE wasn't the man to leave such
blot In his game if he knew it. Though
for the matter of that it was no blot
!, SO long as he lived. Now, look here,
must trust to you for the legal work
ing of this affair; the racing part l can
manage. We've got Sam Pearman in a
regular hole, and, better still. he doesn't

bit of money out Of this, both foF you and
myself, without any risk whatever; but
Interior events must decide that. Mr.
Qsnison, at all events, must make good

fact rather furthering them, you and
might pick up some Ave thousand pounds
apiece. Do you understands"

"Well, there's not much necessity yor

S Good. You told me the stake you wer
