“ You left Chicago ten days ago,”
said Speed accusingly.
“ Of course, but—when I broke my

“ How did you like the jail?”
"What In the world are you boy«

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

“ The less said about that jail the

Speed might have explained that his

serious as he imagined, had not

“ 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
