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 out through the bunkroom,
Slower a 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

Take it from me, 30, you've got
plenty of time to win that dame. Eight

Glass chuckled. 1.-THE whole thing is

He took in their surroundings with a
comprehensive gesture. ct looks about
as much like gymnasium as l look
like a contortionist. Why don't you
get Morris chair and mandolin"
There are two reasons" said Speed,

Still Bill Slower and Willie came into
