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
that he intends that Applejack is to
win and his horse will be beaten out.
How much money have you got in
your pocket?"' =
ooh, about $500"
. We'll, go in the ring and make five
$500 bets on Lemon Squeezer, but
don't bet it 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 ring from different ends of that
Enclosure. Floyd noticed that. true to
his prediction. the news partnership
book had put up 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 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, hiz 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.

IT WORKS !.
Tho Laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man,

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
Il was for IL years clerk in store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after l entered the telegraph service.
There l got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and was soon a very sick man,
l. quit meat and tobacco and in fact I
stopped eating everything which 1
thought might affect me except coffee.
but still my condition grew worse, and
l was: all but a, wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and COM
menced to. use Postum a few years
ago, and am speaking the truth
when say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today I
am well and can eat anything l want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
Il told my wife today l believed I
could digest a brick if had cup of
postum to go with it.
We make it according to directions
boiling it full 20 minutes and use good
rich cream and it is certainly deli
cious."

muttered Doc Floyd to Hopkins. I'm
sorry steered you wrong, and will get
you even. Although I guess I'm in q
few thousand deeper than you are,
know i gave you the wrong steer and
am sorrier for that than losing my
own money. We are whipsawed for

Yes, it does look that way" as
sented Hopkins; but you see he needs
$4,000 to make the book safe, and he
only has about $4,000 in ready money
that he can lay his hands on. That's
why he wants some one to come in
with the other $4,000"
That's just what they all say, and
now I'm convinced that you are sched-
uled to be the goat" announced Floyd.
Did he explain to you just how he
was going to pull off one of those al
legged sure things?'"
Yes, there's race on the card to-
morrow in which he has a horse en-
tered that can win. He also controls
the only other contender in the race.
He can throw the race to whichever
horse he wants to. You know that
possible, don't you?'
Yes, I've seen such things done, and

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 trustee appointed to look after
1t for you. You may be all right on a
mining proposition, but there are a. lot
of other things you've got to learn"
T. 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 a 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 plain game OF
double cross" asserted Tony He'll
break the book and get your IS 900

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 a chance to win. Go on
and put in the $4,000 with him and I'll
attend to the rest when see you at

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

of higher criticism it is likely to be
