Wooden Lea convicts Him.

Springfeld.-Charles Duke was SEN
fenced by Judge Page in the Criminal
Court to three years in prison for
stealing $57 from a Christian County
farmer. A wooden leg is responsible
for Dukes downfall.
Three or four months ago he
robbed a grocery. The police found
him near the scene Of the crime, and
he volunteered to aid the officers In
searching for the culprit. The police
discovered the man who entered the
grocery had a wooden leg. Tracks Of
the stub" in the mud near a window
OF the grocery led to Dukes arrest.

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
c%onspirators had Just finished a drink
when the telephone bell rang and, ex-
planning to the bartender that he was
expecting a call, Danny rushed into the
booth before anyone else could beat
him to it.
Hello! Yes; this is me. You say it's

Danny hung up the receiver and, mo-
tioning for the professor, he mounted

to a carefully guarded room in the rear
of the rickety old-time building. Herr
Oberman saw that the place was fire.

more select crowd of patrons than the

to him that Military Man was the horse

hundred dollar bill to a prosperous
looking person to bet on the horse in
the fifth race at Los Angeles.
The operator called off the descrip-
ton 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
vas expected by Danny and the pro-
lessor. 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 O
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 az the n giving greatest
promises to the conspirators.

cause the manufacturer had not com

The court evidently considered this a
proper punishment for ~violators of the

and the Holsters thought about being

II tidn't, l tidn't," moaned Oberman.
Pm ruined!"
Herr Oberman wiped his perspiring
brow and fat neck, too dazed to speak.
He did, however, hear what Danny
said, and took a 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.j 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,
ought to break your head!" was the In
dignant response of Cleland as he
glowered at the still dazed Oberman.
Serves me right for doing business
with a f~at-headed Dutch fiddler"
But" broke in Danny, Lets buck

Mine Gott!" groaned the professor
as he sunk into a chair beside a beer
stained table.
And there Danny Roberts and Jaci
Cleland left him alone in his grief. BY
this tim0 there was not a soul left II
the supposed pool room. Even the fake
wires had been torn out and the place
was deserted.
