"No; you might start him on three leSs-

not starting but here's 1000 to / 900 he
don't win, once more"
Sam Pearman shook his head. and, az
all events for once in his life, walked out
CT Tattersalls thoroughly puzzled. He
knew his horse to be perfectly well, be
had scen him that morning Az far as be
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 a 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 FIVE to one had been offered
against the crack Of forty-eight hours ago.
Ife thought OF it all the way home, and
felt more utterly bewildered than he had
ever done before in the whole of his turf
experience.
Could Sam Pearman have been present
at conference held in Silky Dallson's
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 1t had apparently been
consulted and thrown aside.
"Rumford says the deed is perfectly
good and Mr.. Denison is quite certain
there has been no acknowledgements. That's
the case, Gren, isn't it?''
Rose nodded, and Mr.. Dallison for a
few minutes pulled meditatively at his
cigar
''Well," he continued, "the law part I
leave to you. l presume that is all right.
Rumford's opinion is quite good enough
20 20 on and old Denison, you say, was
quite clear there has never been an en-
franchsement. 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-
n,ent "He wasn't the man to leave such
blot in his game if he knew it. Though

so long as he lived. Now, look here,
l must trust to you for the legal work
ing Of this affair; the racing part I can
manage We've got Sam Pearman In a
regular hole, and, better still, he doesn't
know it. l can make probably good
| bit OF money out OF this, both for you and
myself, without any risk whatever; but
Interior events must decide that. Mr..
Denison, at all events, must make a good
bit but without hurting his interests, In
fact rather furthering them, you and l
might pick up some five thousand pounds
apiece. Do you understands
mot In the least" replied Granville.
"Well, there's not much necessity you
should. Leave that to me; but you must
work the legal machinery as l direct.
Can you put it in motion by Wednesday
| or Thursday
Lets say Thursday, certain" rejoin-
ed Rose.
Every good, that win do; but don't
let's have any mistakes about It,"
-All right" nodded the other. "I1l
guarantee that, and go down myself"
"Good You told me the stake you were
playing for, to start with, and an you
are in real earnest about winning a wife,
l think one may trust you. l shall com
mence operations at once. I'll see Plyart
the bookmaker tomorrow, and put the
first part Of the program in his hands.
We're going. you and 1, to lay about a
couple of thousand each against Corr
ander and I'm going to give him free
license to do as much as he likes for him
self"
