Looks awkward, don't it?"

Why, you were as bad as me. I think
we had better go home, Gren we are not
fit to 60 racing. We haven't the requi-

see THE Guineas run for once more,
I determined to risk my pony on it, and
backed the horse that had already been
such a good friend to me and as that was
successful l invested two or three more
