Speed cleared his th ro at nervously.
"Tell m e,” he said, “ w hat It la.”
And Miss Blake told him tho story
of the shocking treachery of Humpy
Joe, together with the m iserable un

P le ase!"
"I'll tak e ten chances,” he said.
“W here does the raffle come off?”
“Oh, it isn 't a raffle, i t ’s a foot-race.
You m ust run w ith th a t C entipede

"I! Run a ra c e !” exclaim ed th e
young college man, aghast.
“Yes. I ’ve prom ised th a t you would.
You see. this isn’t like a college event,
and Culver isn ’t here yet.”
“But h e ’ll be here in a day or so.”
Speed felt as if a very large m an w ere
choking him ; he decided his collar
was too tight.
"Oh, I ’ve talked it all o re r w ith
Jean. She doesn't w ant C ulver to

"W hy not?” inquired he, suspicious

"I don’t know, I'm sure.”
“If Miss Chapin doesn’t w ant Culver

“Not a t all. If Mr. Covington knew

only too happy to do it. And. you
see, you know the facts."
Speed was about to shape a gracious
but firm refusal of the proffered honor
when Still Bill Stover appeared a t the

bowed limply.

with thick-rim m ed spectacles and a
heavy-hanging holster from which
peeped a gun-butt. All were sm iling
pleasantly, and seem ed a bit abashed.
“Good m orning, Mr. Stover,” said
Helen, pleasantly. "This is Mr. Speed,
of whom I spoke to you yesterday.”
Stover bowed again and mumbled
som ething about the honor of this
m eeting, and Miss Biako cast her
eyes over the other m em bers of th e
group, saying, graciously: " I’m afraid
I onn’t introduce your friends; I

prom ptly to the rescue, rejoicing in an
opportunity of displaying his oratori

"Then I'll m ake you acquainted

a t the Mexican, who flashed his white
teeth. "T his G reaser is Aurelio M aria
