tried to get next to Wildflre's jockey
today and have him throw the race"
He did,"
'Sure he did. And to show you what
kind Of low down crook he is just
because he had quarrel with fellow

tons~Mr Garrison" cried Donovan.
Sandersou started from his seat
! What Donovan was telling him might
explain much.
Sure. lie tells it to our Jockey, and
Bud, the stable boy. gets wise TO 1t and
gives 1t away to the lady," Donovan
ratified on.
What lady," asked sanderson.
'Why-Mrs. Darlington"
Bud told Mrs. Darlington that Gar
rison was mixed up In a crooked rae
ing deal today?' Sanderson wanted to
be certain Of every fact.
Yep" The reply was as certain as
it was brief
And Of course it wasn't true
II should say not" Donovan almost
shouted his answer. "Garrlson's as
square rs they make EN-"
Does Mrs. Darlington still think
Garrison was in on that crooked deal?'
II dunno! | amt told her no differ
ent." -
'Sbe was friendly with him this
| morning. ibis was said more 70
himself than TO Donovan.
Il guess So" Donovan surmIsed.
And now Then the truth dawned
upon Sanderson. II almost staggered
him. That's It. And 1t was lie!
! Good Cod he muttered.
The entrance of Mrs. Darlington car
rying n package in her hand prevented
any comment from Donovan on the
strange actions and words of Sander

Darlington Donovan looked up
with a knowing smile.
Don't suggest it, She frowned
and held up her hands In horror.
Donovan laughed and moved toward
the door. You never can tell" be
chuckled. "but II they should or II
YOU should need me in any way, just
drop me picture postcard and In
the morning you will find me on the
doorstep pulling the bell down."
Mrs. harrington watched him leave
the room with the feeling that this
was the severance Of all ties with
Wildfire and her stable. It distressed
her to think that she was no longer an
owner" Hereafter in the racing game
she should be merely a spectator. She
loved the sport, but In the future all
zest would be gone.
Rough, but with a heart Of gold
that's Donovan" she soliloquized.
"And IT, Mrs. Darlington thought OF
Garrison and his stable. Struggling
her shoulders she turned to Sanderson
"Why-what's the matterT' she
asked.
He stood before her glumly. A grim
smile lightened his face an he an.
