Doc Floyd and Jack Cleland, when
Herr oberman, putting from the exer-
ton of brisk walk. arrived in due
time at the rendezvous.
There, you answer the phone this
time. and be sure you get the results
right" said Danny when the telephone
bell jingled.
Still trembling with excitement, Herr
oberman grasped the receiver and was
informed that Mr.. Brown was talking
He wrote down the names OF three
horses: Wild Cat, first: Sweet Alice,
second, and Romeo. third.
"All right, you bet your $4,000 on
Wild Cat, and I'll play Sweet Alice fol
place" instructed Danny, when the
professor had showed the names he
had carefully penciled on the back OF
an envelope.
Why prolong the agony?
A moment after the wagers had been
recorded the telegraph sounder began
a business-like clicking. The operator
announced in low tones that the race
was off, The bettors crowded close to
hear the calling of the description OF
the race. The three horses as given

showed the astonished German into an
other elevator. At the second floor of
the building man in shirt sleeves,
with pencil resting behind his ear in
business fashion, got into the same
car. The shirt-sleeved and hatless per
son got off the car at top floor, where
Danny and the professor also left it.
With a warning gesture. the shirt
sleeved and hatless one motioned the
other two to a distant corner of the
hall. There he was introduced to the
professor by Danny as an old friend
who had charge of the racing wires
over which the odds and results on all
races were transmitted to the pool
rooms throughout the middle west.
is it all right?" whispered the
breathless Danny.
AS right as a compass. Does your
friend understand that I'm to get half
of the winnings?"
NO, haven't had time to explain to
him yet. know he's all right,
though"
The fattered professor beamed at
Danny's enthusiastic words of indorse-
ment, and then it was explained to
him that Mr.. Brown, the Western
Union race wire manager, could with
hold the result of each race after ii
came in until he had telephoned Danny
and given him time to get down a good
bet in the pool room before they knew
that the race was off. Danny promised
to explain matters more fully to the be-
fuddled professor on their way TO the
pool room. AS soon as they had taken
leave of the fictitious Manager Brown,
the latter walked downstairs to the
second floor, where he had left a boy
holding his hat and coat, and donning
these he was out and away from the
building five minutes behind Danny
and the professor.
And now" said Danny TO the by
this time thoroughly bewildered Herr
Oberman, when they had reached a
quiet little saloon on side street, I'll
show you how We are going to get even
with the bookmakers. We want to
make a good thorough test of the
scheme before we make any big bets.

but three o'clock in the afternoon, but
Herr Oberman had arrived at the time
when he could make his choice of
hours for his pupils. 1t was none too
cordial a greeting he gave Danny Rob-
berts, who rushed in excitedly right at
his closing hour.
I've got it," whispered Danny, ex-
citedly. is there anyone here that
can hear us?"
No. What is it," inquired the pro-
fessor, becoming interested
Don't ask me now / haven't got
time to explain. Get your hat and
come with me. We must hurry"
The excitement of Danny was con.
tagious, and before he knew it Herr
Professor was in the elevator and
speeding towards the street. Once on
the sidewalk, Danny rushed his fat
friend down Michigan and over across
Jackson boulevard to the Western
Union building. There he almost

'"You must have gotten those names in
the wrong order

I'm ruined!"
Herr Oberman wiped his perspiring
brow and fat neck, too daZed to speak.
He did, however, hear what Danny
said, and took bit of fresh courage.
The two waited for ten minutes, after
which time the operator announced
that the finish of the fourth race at
Los Angeles was o. K, and Danny
dragged the professor downstairs and
to the bar. Before they had taken
their drink Jack Cleland alias Brown
tered the bar.
Give me my part of the money,
quick!" he demanded.
My heavens, man, what have you
done?" exploded Danny The horses
didn't finish as you gave them to the
professor" And then he explained
that the horse they had played to win
had run second.
why, you fat-headed Dutchman,
ought to break your head" was the in
dignant response of Cleland as he
glowered at the still dazed Oberman.
Serves me right for doing business
with fat-headed Dutch fiddler"
But" broke i'm Danny, Let's buck
up. Well have another chance at It
tomorrow and I'll take down the
names, so there won't be such a mis-
take. Don't be too hard on our friend.

pseudo Western Union man. The PEG.

And there Danny Roberts and Jack
Cleland left him alone in his grief. BY
this time there was not soul left in
the supposed pool room. Even the fake
wires had been torn out and The place
was deserted.

he glowed all over in anticipation Of
, such wealth easily acquired from the
pool room men. He thought this about
the cleverest scheme he had ever
heard of and so expressed himself with
much show of enthusiasm. The two
conspirators had just finished a drink
when the telephone bell rang and, ex-
planning to the bartender that he was
expecting a call, Danny rushed into the
booth before anyone else could beat
him to it.

Danny hung up the receiver and, mo-

Oberman saw that the place was fire.
quented by much smaller though a
more select crowd of patrons than the
ordinary pool room. Danny whispered
to him that Military Man was the horse
in the fifth race, but that the odds
were only even money. He rendered a
hundred dollar bill to a prosperous
! looking person to bet on the horse in
the fifth race at Los Angeles
The operator called off the descrip-
,, tion of the running of the race from
start TO finish, and Military Man was
not heard from until the stretch was
reached; then he was making one of
his famous home-stretch runs, and as
was expected by Danny and the pro-
fessor, Military Man was announced as
the winner.
That night Danny Roberts reported
still further progress to Doc Floyd
and Jack Cleland. He had parted with
Herr Oberman with the understanding
that they were to meet at the lunch
hour on the morrow and pick out a
race that gave promise of paying big
odds for the winner. Accordingly the
appointment was kept and the fourth
race on the Los Angeles track was
selected as the one giving greatest
promises to the conspirators.
Danny was waiting outside the little
saloon on the side street, over which
was the fake pool room fitted out by
