Autoist Wins Bet
With "Silent Carr"
= Calm Dog Is Victim

Two motorists were discussing the re-
spective merits of their cars with great
vehemence, according 4 a story going the
rounds. Finally, one said;
why, my cars so quiet that-see that
dog over there? / can run over him
without touching him, and he won't

The dog was calmly lying in the middle
of the road. but to all outward appear
ances seemed no less nervous or deaf

But you s. I can do It."
It'll take you" It looked like easy
money.
So the car was cranked, and went slow
ly and fairly quietly over the dog. The
animal didn't stir an inch. Back at the
curb again. S changed hands.
Then the motorist with the quiet car
started to repeat the stunt. But this
time he opened the cut-out and pressed
on the Klaxon button. In all the racket.
without wiggle or a waggle, the dog
lay still.

Maybe he's got all his money placed"
was the suggestion.
But, confoUnd II, man, you told me
you'd put me in on this thing!"
Cass was silent a few moments; then
he offered:
We'll go over and ask him If he's got
any stray money tonight"
So the eager pair rushed Off to Knott's
rooms and brought the subject around to
the point of betting.
The Westerner jumped in readily at
the suggestion and offered to place his
last dollar on the kid.
At length the bet was arranged at
$500. and a mutual friend was agreed
upon as stakeholder.
Having secured the "sure-t thing bet

Until the day of the fight he haunted

Kid Rooney was in fine feather. due, nc
doubt to the accident to his rival, and
the cock-sureness of the Kid was the
only thing that bothered Hardy in the

The ring was ready in the barn and
the men stole out in pairs and took their
places quietly.
The excitement began when the pugil-
lists entered and took their chairs in OPP
posite corners.
Young Grit threw of his blanket, got
up, and paced around the ring TO try his
leg. 1t seemed TO be in good condition,
and he scarcely limped The tight ban

awkwardly, but did not land a single one
OF his wild swings.
At the bell the Kids faction was look

were raising the roof with cheers for

The bell stopped them at this point.
Hardy looked glum. He watched Grit
