the young man.
TITS UP to you fellows to see that he
gets to bed early" said Fresno, when
he and Slower were alone.
Leave 1t to us. And as for gettin'
up, we turn out at daylight / don't
reckon he could sleep none after that
if he tried" Slower pointed 10 the
striped elastic coils of the exerciser
against the wall. Il didn't want to
speak about 1t while they was here"
said he, "but one of them young ladies
lost her garters."
That's not pair of garters. that's
a chest-weight"
Jest wait for what?"
Chest weight-chest-d
, "Oh!" Slower examined the device
curiously. Il thought a chest-develop-

remarked, admiringly:

Think so? o.
Sure! Don't your
Fresno explained his doubts by a
crafty lift Of his brows and shrug.
Il thought scat first"
Slower wheeled upon him abruptly
Whats wrong?"
"Oh, nothing"
After pause the foreman remarked,
vaguely: He's the intercollegit charn-
peen Of Yale"
ooh no, hardly that, or would
have heard OF him"
Amt he no champeen?"
Champion OF the running broad
smile and the half-nliie talk perhaps"
Amt he foot-runner?"
Perhaps. I've never seen him run,
but l have my doubts"
Good Lord" moansS Slower, weak
ly.
"He may be the best sprinter in the
country, mind you. but I'll lay little
bet that he can't run hundred yards
without sustenance."
Without what?"
"Sustenance-some to eat"
We'll, we've got plenty for him to
eat" said the mystified foreman.
you don't understand. However,
time will tell"
But we amt got no time We've
made this race pay or play, week
from Saturday, and the bets are down.
We was afraid the Centipede would
welsh when they seen who we had, so
we framed it that way. What's to be
done?"
Again Fresno displayed an artistic
restraint that was admirable tits
none of my business" said he, with a
careless shrug.
Il guess I'll tell Willie and the
boys" vouchsafed ELL apprehensively.
mo! no! Don't breathe a word
I've said to you. He may be a cracker
jack, and l wouldn't do him an injus-
tice for the world. All the same,
wish he hadn't broken my stop-watch."
"D you think he broke it spur
pose?"
What do you Think"
Slower mopped the sweat from his
brow.
Cant we time him with ordinary
watch?"
Sure. We can take yours. 1t won't
be exact, but"
Il amt got no watch. / bet mine
last night at the Centipede. Willie's
got one, though"
Mind you, he may be all right, ;,
Fresno repeated, reassuringly; then
hearing the object of their discussion
approaching with his trainer, the two
strolled ont through the bunkroom,
Slower prey to a newborn suspicion,
Fresno musing to himself that diplo-
macy was not lost art.
You're a fine friend, you are!"
Speed exploded, when he and Glass
were inside the gymnasium, What
made you say 'yes?
Il had to-"
Rot, Larry. You played into
Fresnos hands deliberately! Now I've
got to spend my evenings in bed while
he sits in the hammock and sings
Dearie.'" He shook his head gloomily.
Who knows what may happen?"
1T will do you good to get some
sleep, Wally."
'sBut | don't want to sleep," cried
the exasperated suitor. Il want to
make love. Do you think l came all

Take ii from me. 30, you've got
plenty of time to win that dame. Eight
hours is a workin' day anywhere"
Glass chuckled. The whole thing is
a hit. Look at this joint, for instance.
He took in their surroundings with a
comprehensive gesture 1T looks about
