dered, bow-Iegged man with wheeze TO
him, and men who looked him over said
to each other:
Why, the man can't run a mile! what
sort Of trainer has he that he is en-
tered in a race like this?"
And the trainer, oyerhearing such criti-
cism, explained:
Gentlemen, I know my business. My
ordinary circumstances there would be no
SHOW for him, but I have a card up my
sleeve. Put a few scads my man if
you want champagne to drink for the rest
of the summer"
The public was mystifed. but not con-
vinced No man would put a dollar on
the little man. Even after the race was
on and it was seen that he was well up
with the leaders nobody would speak d
good word for his chances. On the con
trary, when the pace became hot and he
kept dropping back there were cries of
Take him OFF, There was yet two
miles to go and the little man held the
eleventh place and was being cat-called,
when his trainer and woman came to
the front and the woman cried out:
so, l have found you at iastI Jim

his face went ashy pale his legs began
