Floyd looked around upon the

Hopkins, anxiously.
"Why, Applejack was disqualified

Applejack, stood talking together, Doc
Floyd, watching the pair through his
fieldglasses from the grandstand. saw
Tony pass small package of book
makers tickets to Harlin.
They're Off" came the buzzing cry
Of the crowd in chorus as the barrier
over at the three-Quarter pole whizsed
up and field of eight horses leaped
forward. The blue and white striped
jacket and cap of Appleiack showed in
front, while next in order and close
behind came Lemon SQueezer, both
horses running easily. Before they
had gone q quarter of the distance it
could be seen that the race was be-
tween the first two horses, and the
others were strung out in single file
In the stretch came Applejack, run
ming without effort, with Lemon
SQueezer within safe call. A smile of
contentment rested upon the face of
Tom Camp, down at the end of the
grandstand, while Floyds counter
ance wore a worried look and young
Hopkins was shivering in the excite.
ment of lost hope.
There, and listened to you and
your tout" he said to Floyd as he saw
Applejack winning easily.
why, it's nothing more than pro.
cession," muttered Floyd. And
would have staked my right eye on
Tony. Why, that boy on Applejack Is
racing him to death to win and the
other fellow don't seem to be trying"
"Applejack wins!" shouted the
crowd as the blue and white stripes
passed under the wire good length
in front of Lemon Squeezer.
That's one time that I'm the goat"

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 it might
be suspicious to the judges if he didn't
win this race"
That means" explained Floyd,
chat he intends that Applejack is to
win and his horse will be beaten out
How much money have you got in
your pocket?"
"Oh, about $780,"
We'll, go in the ring and make five
800 bets on Lemon Squeezer, but
don't betTit in our book. Camp has
given: instructions to, his bookmakers
to give 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 $4,000" -
The two separated and entered the
betting ringifrom different ends of that
Enclosure. Floyd noticed that. true to
his prediction, the new partnership
book had put up q to on Applejack
while the other books were laying a
shade less than that price. A moment
afterwards he noticed that the part
nership bookmaker rubbed out the
price, against Applejack, announcing
that he had all he wanted of it. Floyd
knew by this sign that Camp had bet
enough of his own money to win out
the money that was in the book. Walk.
ing quietly through the ring, he
stopped long enough before a number
Of books to make several good-sized
wagers on Lemon Squeezer. He al.
ready had given Tony $1,000 to wager
on the same horse.
Thomas Camp, besides getting all
the money to be had in his own book,
also had wagered hundreds on Apple
jack in other books about the ring, and
was surprised to note when he re-
turned from the paddock, where he had
just saddled his horse and given final
instructions to the jockey, that the
price against Lemon Squcezer, lliE own
horse, had not gone up in the betting.
He was unaware that large amount
of money bet by Floyd had forced the
price down. He had no time to inves-
tigate, however, as the horses already
were at the post, and he hurried to a
point of vantage from which he could
view the race. !.

away with the bank roll, and after that
race We'll have old Camp ready to take
the high dive from the top of the ferry
boat"
What is it you're going to do?" was
the suspicious inquiry of Hopkins.
Never mind what I'm going to do;
the Big Doctor will stand for what
say won't you, Doc?"
Yes. don't know what it is, but
If you are sure you can put it through
I'll take all. or half, of Hopkins end
of the $4,000. I'll give Hopkins $4,000
in the morning for a half of his inter-
est and he needn't let Camp know
there is any one else in on the deal.
Jack Cleland can be the man in the
box as lookout"
When Floyd arrived at the race
track on the day following his talk
with Hopkins and Tony he saw new
bookmaker's stand in the line under
the shed of the betting ring. In this
stand was seated Jack Cleland, who
was supposed to be there as an as.
slstant to the cashier. but. no glance
of recognition passed between the
two. Floyd and Hopkins also kept
apart during the afternoon, having
agreed to meet in secluded spot on
the grounds just before the race in
which Camp had announced that trick
was to 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

easy it will be for him to break the
book and get your $4,000 on one race.
Come on up to my rooms and I'll in
itiate you into the art of beating the
double cross, if there's any chance to
do it; and if there isn't then you'd bet
ter keep your $4,000 in the bank, or
have a trustee appointed to look after
it for you. You may be all right on a
mining proposition, but there are a lot
of other things you've got to learn"
Within Is minutes Floyd, with the
aid of the telephone, had located Tony
the Tout, and in another half hour
! that wise bug of the turf had arrived
at Floyd's rooms, wondering for what
he was wanted, and pleased all over to
be summoned into the presence of SO
august parsonage.
To Tony Floyd told the proposition
of Camp as Hopkins had told it to
him, and upon hearing the proposition
Tony let out long laugh.
why, it's just a plain game of
double cross" asserted Tony. He'll
break the book and get your $4,000
in one race and then tell you it was all
a mistake and make you believe it.
and then he'll ask you to dig up anoth-
er $4,000 to get even with. Why, my
kid brother wouldn't bite on that old
hook" ~
ayes, do you suppose didn't know
all that?" broke in Floyd with a mo-
ton for the laxative Tony to shut up.
What l want you for is to see if we
can turn the tables and get Camps
end of the bank roll"
I'm afraid not" answered Tony.
He's worked that game four or five
times this season and always gets
away with it. He's get regular crew
to go on and make the book and they
all stand in with ths play. suppose
he's told Mr.. Hopkins that he can put
a man in the box to look out for his
interests?"
Eyes, he said I could do that" as
sented the young mining man.
Lets look over that race he said he
could fix for tomorrow" was the sud
den suggestion of Tony as he produced
a paper in which was list of the en-
tries for the next days races. "Oh,
I've got the old badger!" was the sud.
den, gleeful outburst. He was right
about there being just two horses in
the race with chance to win. Go on
and put in the $4,000 with him and III

The Ever Changing Waist Line.

The Ever Changing Waist Line.
Consider the mental agility it takes
to keep up with ones waist line. One
goes to bed at night in the sweet as
surance that it will be under the arms
for the next two or three months at
any rate, and awakes to learn from the
headlines in the morning papers the
waist line is positively at the knees.
There is absolutely no use in prognos-
ticating anything about it any longer.
That the waist line occurred at the
waist was an axiom accepted as I'M
questionably as that the earth re-

of higher criticism it is likely to be
anywhere. 1t bloweth where it list

have wanted to know since the ad-

August is that the administration will

business interests of the country de-
manded through the Indianapolis con

Washington, Dec. S.-Wnile the adj
lninistration does not intend To pat
any obstacle in the way of the effort
which certain senators and represen-
tstiyes intend to make to obtain lesis-
IL ton establishing permanent thrift
board. it can be said authoritatively
that the president and the meuaers
1t his cabinet feel that there is al
ready ample authority to direct the
present tariff board to perform al
most any function which might be as
signed to a new board, or a recrgdnlz-
ed board. President Taft has large
board as it is now made up. For some
time to come the board will necessar-
lily be engaged in advising the presi-
cent as to whether the maximuI n or
minimum rates of the new tariff law
shaI! be applied to any country. With
this work off his hands, the board
will be directed by the presiden. to
undertake a general study of the tar
if, with the view of discovering, if
possible. whether there are any real
inequalities in the present law, AMI to
suggest changes wherever they are
deemed necessary.
They Did Not Understand.
The standpatters in congress who
thought they were creating a tariff
board of restricted authority win I'M
doubtedly take note of the various
significant remarks which Secretary
MacVeagh, of the treasury, makes in
his annual report. The tariff BOARD
is attached to the treasury depart
ment, and it is the duty of the sec
rotary of the treasury. acting under
directions from the president, to as
sign duties to the board. Secretary
MacVeagh has evidently received his
instructions from the president, for
he says in his report: "The board has
most ample authority, and look for
ward with great confidence to most
important results in both branches It
the boards work." The stand oatters
in congress did not understand that
there were to be two branches Of the
boards work. They supposed they
| were authorizing board whose work
would be confined to assisting the
president in the application of the
maximum and minimum rates.
At Home and Abroad.
1t is very well understood here that
Secretary MacVeagh when he refers
to two branches of the boards work
has in mind the very important bust
ness of making a complete study of
the tariff. including the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad. with the
view of correcting inequalities in the
present law il the board decides tha.t
