Perhaps so, sir-perhaps so; but I'll
bet you an even hundred he don't start
Done and I'll make it 5000, if you
like"
No; you might start him on three legs.
Won't risk more than a hundred on his
not starting; but here's 1000 to 1000 he
cont win, once more"
sam Pearman shook his head, and, at
all events for once in his life, walked out
CT IattersalPs thoroughly puzzled. He
knew his horse to be perfectly well, he
naa seen him that morning. AS far as he
mad tried him, he had never tried a three
Fear-old better. What were these ring
men going on?

ally get the worst of it also; but, as
rule, either hackers or shareholders are
Justlhed IN feeling alarm st a persistent
assault on what their money may be in
vested in. The decline of the favorite for
o!g race in the market is hardly so dis
astrous to the world in general as bank
snares dropping twenty per cent below
premium. Before Pearman left London
the next day, he was aware, from various
sources, that Corianders 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
He 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

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. Grenville 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 it?"
Rose nodded, and Mr.. Dallison for
few minutes pulled meditatively at his
cigar.
WELL he continued, ''the law part l
leave to you. l presume that is all right.
Rumford's opinion is quite good enough
to go 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-

for the matter of that it was no blot
so long as he lived. Now, look here,
I must trust to you for the legal work
ing of this affair; the racing part [ can
manage. We've got Sam Pearman IN
regular hole, and, better still, he doesn't
know it. | can make probably a 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 understand!
Not in the least" replied Granville.
"WelI, 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 will do; but don't
let's have any mistakes about it."
"All right" nodded the other. I'll
guarantee that, and go down myself.
Good. You told me the stake you were
,,1ov;nr for TO start with and as YOU
are in real earnest about winning a wife,
I think one may trust you. [ 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

license to do as much as he likes for him
