the building man in shirt sleeves,
with pencil resting behind his ear in
business fashion, got into the same
car. The shirt-sleeved and hatless per-
son got OF the car at top floor, where
Danny and the professor also left it..
With a warning gesture. the shirt
sleeved and hatless one motioned the
other two to a distant corner of the
hall There he was introduced to the
professor by Danny as an old friend

rooms throughout the middle west.

LAS right as a compass. Does your

mo, 1 haven't had time to explain to

The flattered professor beamed at
Danny's enthusiastic words of indorse-
ment, and then 1t was explained to
him that Mr.. Brown, the Western
Union race wire manager, could with
hold the result Of each race after it
came in until he had telephoned Danny
and given him time to get down good
bet in the pool room before they knew
that the race was of. Danny promised
to explain matters more fully to the be-
fuddled professor on their way to the
pool room. AS soon as they had taken
leave of the fictitious Manager Brown,
the latter walked downstairs to the
second floor, where he had left boy
holding his hat and coat. and donning
these he was out and away from the
building five minutes behind Danny
and the professor.

Herr Oberman wiped his perspiring
brow and fat neck, too dazed to speak.
He did, however, hear what Danny
said, and took bit of fresh courage.
The two waited for ten minutes, after
which time the operator announced
that the finish of the fourth race at
Los Angeles was o. K, and Danny
dragged the professor downstairs and
to the bar. Before they had taken
their drink Jack Cleland, alias Brown
of the Western Union, hurriedly en-
tered the bar.
Give me my part Of the money,
quick!" he demanded.
My heavens, man, what have you
done?" exploded Danny. The horses
didn't finish as you gave them to the
professor" And then he explained
that the horse they had played to win
had run second.
Why, you fat-headed Dutchman, l
ought to break your head!" was the in
dignant response Of Cleland as he
glowered at the still dazed Oberman.

And there Danny Roberts and Jack
Cleland lec Tim alone in his grief. BY
this time there was not soul left in
the supposed pool room. Even the fake
wires had been torn out and the place
was deserted.

he glowed all over in anticipation Of
, such wealth easily acquired from the
pool room men. He thought this about
the cleverest scheme he had ever
heard Of and SO expressed himself with
much show of enthusiasm. The two
conspirators had Just finished a drink
when the telephone bell rang and. ex-

him to it.

Oberman saw that the place was fire.
quented by much smaller though a
more select crowd of patrons than the
ordinary pool room. Danny whispered
to him that Military Man was the horse
in the fifth race, but that the odds
were only even money. He rendered a
hundred dollar bill to a prosperous
looking person to bet on the horse in
the fifth race at Los Angeles.
The operator called of the descrip-
ten Of the running of the race from
start to finish, and Military Man was
not heard from until the stretch was
reached; then he was making one Of
his famous home-stretch runs, and as
was expected by Danny and the pro-
fessor, Military Man was announced as
the winner.
That night Danny Roberts reported
still further progress to Doc Floyd
and Jack Cleland. He had parted with
Herr Oberman with the understanding
that they were to meet at the lunch
hour on the morrow and pick out
race that gave promise Of paying big
odds for the winner. Accordingly the
appointment was kept and the fourth
race on the Los Angeles track was
selected as the one giving greatest
promises to the conspirators.

ONLY ONE OF HIS KIND.

Former RaiIroader Is Now "Trav-
cling Man" for Buffalo Hotel.
l.. Q. Clarke, the "only one of his
kind" is in New York.
Mr.. Clarke was formerly passen-
ger brakeman on the New York Central.
Now he Is something different and there
ls no name for him yet. His vocation
Is an entirely new one.
The liveliest hotel in Buffalo fur
nishes free electric cab service for its
guests to and from depots, wharves or
wherever else they may land or wish
to depart from, and also around the
city. Now it has added Mr.. Clark, says
the New York Morning Telegraph.
1t Is Mr. Clarke's business to travel,
mostly to New York, but Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Chicago and several other
big cities are in his line. All he has
to do Is drop in on transportation
agents, hotel clerks and folks like that
and get acquainted.
If any person Is leaving a New York
hotel and going to Buffalo it is Mr..
Clarke's business to know it. He gets
acquainted, tells him all about the hotel
he represents and assures him of per<
sonal attention If he will only come.
Mr.. Clarke's efforts have resulted in
from fifteen to fifty people going to the
house that employs him every day since
he has been on the job. He does not
know what to call himself. but 1t was
suggested that he be christened "the
smiling 'front.' he is certainly there
with that good-natured smile of his.
ITS easy" Mr.. Clarke said, when
asked how he worked. "When a guest
comes with my card he always hunts
me up. OF course ] look after him,
see he Is satisfied and that he has a
good time while in Buffalo. | never
thought Of going out as travelling repre-
sentative of hotel before, but like
1t. 1t certainly is something new.
They'll all be doing 1t SOON"
