him, and upon hearing the proposition
Tony let out a long laugh.

he's told Mr.. Hopkins that he can put

interests?"
Yes, he said l could do that" as
sented the young mining man.

could fix for tomorrow" was the sud
den suggestion of Tony as he produced

tries for the next days races. oh,

about there being just two horses in
the race with a chance to win. Go on
and put in the $1,000 with him and I'll
attend TO the rest when / see you at

one in the box to see that no one runs
away with the bank roll, and after that
race Wen have old Camp ready to take

What is 1t you're going to do?" was
the suspicious inquiry of Hopkins.
Never mind what I'm going to do;

When Floyd arrived at the race

agreed TO meet In a secluded spot on
the grounds jast before the race in
was 20 be turned.
Are you sure Of that tout?" was the
anxious inquiry of Hopkins when he
and Floyd finally met in consultation.
Yes, he'd lose both legs sooner than
throw me down." was the reply. Now,
what does Camp say?"
He says he has instructed the book
TO take in all the bets they can get on
Applejack. He has arranged with the
owner of that one to lose and he will
win with his own horse, Lemon
Squeezer. He explains that 1t might
be suspicious to the judges If he didn't
win this race"
THAT means" explained Floyd,
that he intends that Applejack is to
win and his horse will be beaten out.
How much money have you got in
your pocket?"s.
"Oh, about $500"
We'll, go in the ring and make FIVE
500 bets on Lemon Squeezer, but
don't bet ii In our book. Camp has
given instructions to his bookmakers
TO give a shade the best price on the
other fellows horse. He will have
commissioners there to get his own
money down quick and bet enough to
win out the bank roll on that one race
That's the way he's got it fixed to win
our $1,000"
The two separated and entered the
betting ring from different ends of that
Enclosure. Floyd noticed that. true to

GSV EA, such course may bring us
ease and safety, but how could
we stand before God with such sin
upon our hearts?"
The speaker turned with earnest,
appealing look towards the small, mot
ley group gathered in the little, dimly-
lighted room. His voice was subdued
almost to a whisper, as though he
feared some eavesdropper on the out
side might overhear the conversation,
and ever and anon the different mem
bers of the group looked anxiously
towards the low door and started at
any unusual noise which broke the
night stiffness.
1t was evident there some question
was up for decision and some were in

afterwards he noticed that the part

price against Applejack, announcing

stopped long enough before number

wagers on Lemon Squeezer. He al

Thomas Camp, besides getting all
the money to be had in his own book,

Hopkins, anxiously.
why, Applejack was disqualified
for not having up enough weight.
Somehow or other Hank Harlin was
careless in putting his lead pads to
