I stopped off between tralna to view the city, and took a ’Seeing Omaha' ride. The yap wagon upset, and—I broke my toe.” “ You left Chicago ten days ago,” said Speed accusingly. “ Of course, but—when I broke my toe I had to stay. It's a beautiful city — lots of fine buildings.” “ How did you like the jail?” "What In the world are you boy« talking about?” queried Miss Blake. "Mr. Speed seems amused at Cul ver’s accident.” Roberta gave him a stinging look. “ Now we’d better let Culver go to his room and freshen up a bit. I want to talk to you, Helen,” and Speed drooped at the meaning be hind her words. But it was time for a general conference; events were shaping themselves too rapidly for him to cope with. Once the three were alone he lost no time in making his predicament known, the while his friend listened in amazement. “ But is it really so serious?” the latter asked, finally. “ It’s life or death. There’s a homi cidal maniac named W illie guarding me daytimes, and a pair of renegades who keep watch at my window all night. The cowboys bathe me in ice- water to toughen me, and feed me raw meat to make me wild. In every cor ner there lurks an assassin with or ders to shoot me if I break training, everywhere I go some low-browed criminal feels my biceps, pinches my legs, and asks how my wind Is. I tell you. I'm going mad." “ And the worst part of It Is,” spoke Glass, sympathetically, "they’ll bump me off first. It’s a pipe.” “ But, Wally, you can’t run.” "Don’t I know It?’’ “ Don’t I?” seconded the trainer. "Then why attempt the impossible? Call the race off.” "It’s too late. Don’t you understand? The bets are made, and it’s 'pay or play.’ The cowboys have mortgaged their souls on me.” "H e was makin’ a play for that little doll— ’’ "Don’t you call Miss Blake a doll, Larry! I won't stand for it !" “ Well, ’skirt,’ then." “ Why don’t you cut it? There’s a train East at midnight.” “ And leave Helen—like that? Her faith in me has weakened already; she’d hate me if I did that. N o! I ’ve got to face it ou t!" "They’ll bo singin’ hymns for both of us,” predicted the fat man. “ I don’t care. They can boil me iu oil— I won’t let her think I ’m a cow ard.” "Larry doesn’t have to stay.” "O f course not. He can escape.” “ Not a chance," said the trainer. “ They watch me closer ’n they do him.” Covington considered for a moment. “ It certainly looks bad, but perhaps the other fellow can’t run either. Who is he?” “ A cook name.! Skinner." “ Happy name! Well, two-thirds of a sprint is in the start. How does Wally get in motion, Lawrence?” "Like a sacred ox." Glass could not conceal his contempt. “ I ’ll give him some pointers; It will all help.” But Speed wyas nervous and awkward—so awkward. In fact, tnat the coach finally gave it up as a bad job, saying: " It ’s no use, Wally, you’ve got fool feet.” “ I have, eh? Well. I didn't break them getting out of jail.” “ The less said about that jail the better. I ’m in trouble myself.” Speed might have explained that his chum’s dilemma was by no means so serious as he imagined, had not watchman W illie thrust his head through the open window at that mo ment with the remark: “ Time to get busy!” “ W e’ll be right with you!” Glass seized his protege by the arm and boro him away, muttering: “ Stick it out, brother, we’re nearin’ the end!” Again Speed donned his running-suit and took to the road for his farewell practice. Again W illie followed at a distance on horseback, watching the hills warily. But all hope had fled from the Yale man now, and he re turned to his training-quarters dis heartened, resigned. He was not resigned, however, to the visit he received later from Miss Helen Blake. That young lady rushed in upon him like a miniature cyclone, sweeping him off his feet by the fury of her denunciation, allowing him no opportunity to speak, until, with a half-sob, she demanded: "W hy— why did you deceive me?” "I love you!” Wally said, as if no further explanation were necessary. "That explains nothing. You made sport of me! Y'ou couldn't love me and do that!” “ Helen!” "I thought you were so fine, so strong, but you lied—yes, that is what you did! Y’ ou fibbed to me the first day I met you, and you've been fibbing ever since. I could never, never care for a man who would do that.” "Who has told you these things?" “ Roberta, for one. She opened my eyes to your— baseness.” “ Well, Roberta has a grudge against my sex. She’s engaged to all the men she hasn't already married. Marriage is a habit with her. It has made her suspicious— ’’ “ But you did deceive me, didn't you" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Paradise for Grouches. A new game for nursers of grouches has been started up at Coney island.
