"Of course III do my best, il you
think it's Isally important"
Thank on" said Slower gratefully.
while Fresno congratulated himself
upon an easy victory.
The two girls took Speeds trainer
with them, and went forth in search OF
the young man
It's up TO you fellows to see that he
gets to bed early, said Fresno. when
he and Stoyer were alone.
Leave it to US. And as for gettin'

reckon he could sleep none after that
If he tried Slower pointed 20 the
striped elastic coils of the exerciser
against the wall. Il didn't want to
speak about it while they was here. -
said he, but one of them young ladies
lost her garters."
That's not a pair OF carriers. that's
a chest-weight.'
Jest wait for WHAT"
"Chest-weight- chest-developer.
Obi" Slower examined the deyice
curiously. 81 thought chest-deyelop-
er came in bottle
Fresno explained the operation of
the apparatus, at which the cowman
remarked, admiringly
That young Teller is all right, amt

Think so?"
Sure, Don't your"
Fire sno explained his doubts by a
crafty lift of his brows and shrug.

Slower wheeled upon him abruptly
What's wrong?"

After a pause the foreman remarked,
vaguely: He's the intercollegit cham

"Oh no, hardly that. or l would
have heard of him
"Ain't he no champeen?"
Champion of the running broad
smile and the half-mile talk perhaps"
Amt he foot-runner?"
Perhaps. I've never seen him run,

He may be the best sprinter in the
country, mind you, but III lay a little
bet that he can't run hundred yards
without sustenance.'
Without what?"
"Sustenance-s something to eat"

But we amt got no time. We've
made this race pay or play, a 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

Again FRESNO displayed an artistic
restraint that was admirable. It's
none of my business, said he, with a
careless shrug.

boys vouchsafed Bill apprehensiveIy
No, no! Don't breathe a word

Slower mopped the sweat from his
brow

Il amt got no watch. | bet mine
last night at the Centipede. Willie's

Mind you, he may be all right. "
Fresno repeated, reassuringly: then

Slower a prey to a newborn suspicion,
Fresno musing TO himself that diplo-
macy was not lost art.
You're fine friend you are!"
Speed exploded, when ne and Glass
We're inside the gymnasium. What

Rot, Larry. You played into
Fresno's hands deliberately! Now I've

Who knows what may happen?"
