of brown curls, as if she'd Just
' stepped from a beauty parlor. -
"Well, this Is a pretty kettle of
flsht" Sherry said, stepping Inside,
looking at one, then the other.
: "You," she spoke scornfully to
the man, who now fumbled with
hli monocle, "you persuaded' this
Ignorant girl Ignorant of the turf
to bet on one of your sura
things. " " ' ' ..'
"And you," she looked at Tad
Duncan Bond, "with all your col
lege learning and degree, believed
, you could beat the raceet The
smartest horsemen admit it cant

- "Oh, Sherry) Ted began, bat
Sherry hadnt finished. , . ' ;-:; ,
"Glad you war cleaned out
Maybe youH have aansa enough
not to toy it gala." She turned
on her uncle.
'."Now you, explain youneifl
The Idea et talking a gullible girl
Into betting. Suppose you wan to
get a cut on her winnings to re-
turn for your marvelous dope!"
- "Please, Sherry I" It was Ted
herself who broke In, with de
fense of the man.
"Well?" Sherry was thoroughly
tnsd now.
"He dldnt persuade me at
'least, not much."
"How did it all startT" Sherry
. demanded.- : -' " " " -
. "Willie and I had planned is
write the story of the thorough
bred" she hesitated; Sherry
tnomnted. "Go on."
"I saw that-well, the book had
infinite possibilities. But we'd be
months writing it and ward need
money to live on. He said that he
'was er strapped, he called it
"That's enough," Sherry Inter
. runted. "I understand it all. Be
touted you, persuaded you to bet
tea a horse of his choice" .-.
' "But it was Pepper Boy!" Uncle
fWilliam put In, coming up tor air.
' "Shut apt"- Sherry snapped.
'"Guess you war going to get a
ut of the winnings "
, "Sherry!" Ted flung her anas
around Sherry, stayed her.
"What on earth?" Sherry de
manded, freeing herself.
' "You mustn't say such things
about him."
' "Well, I like thatl And why not,
may I ask?"
' . "Because because "
. William Bond stepped forward
with great dignity, spoke clearly:
."Sherry, Theodosia has honored
me by h becoming my fiancee."
a a a
TITTER silence for one long mo
menL Then Sherry Bond sank
down on a locker trunk. Tor the
)um Pete," she ejaculated. Then
she began to laugh, almost hysteri
cally. At lsst ihe controlled her
self, stood up.
"That's swell! Now listen, you
two: you've both helped me out.
You saved my horse for me,
Willie, when I ran him in that
-tialmer. You loaned me your ear,
.Ted"
"That was nothing!" the pair
exclaimed tn unison.
. "Yes, it was, and I dont forget
cevors," Sherry said. "Now 1
promise you this in appreciation,
and as a wedding present: 10 per
cent of the purse if Pepper Boy
wins the Derby. Now scranv
'both of you. I've got figuring to
do."
a a e
CHERRY BOND hadnt been
alone 10 minutes when Sam
appeared at the opened door of
the tack-room. "Miss Sherry, that
oDy-talkin' man'a back ag'in', an
skin' for you."
' The man came In, his hairless
'skull gleaming like a yellowed
,billiard ball; his coat cut like an
hour glass under his arms; knife
edged crease in his trousers, spats
over his ankles. His thick brown
lips barely moved as he talked in
the lowest of tones.
1 "Miss Bond, there'll be about JO
entries in the Derby this year.
Your Pepper Boy has one chance
out of SO."
.' "Well, what of it?" Definitely,
ahe did not like his looks.
From a pocket he drew forth a
Wallet Counted out a sheaf of
Mils rapidly, put a rubber band
'around them, and laid them on
top of a locker trunk.
"There's $8000 end if a yours,
now, if you give me your word
uwon't start Pepper Boy In the
Instantly Sherry was on her
feet "You take up that money
at once!" she commanded, trying
to control the anger that was ris
king in her.
; "There's nothing Illegal in what
I'm asking, Miss Bond," hit voice
came now in a silken purr. "I
represent a group of future book
gamblers "
"You take beta on the Derby
nominees in advance of the race,
giving longer odds than on race
day, and it a horse doesn't start
you don't five the money back.'
'That's where you make your big
a slight smile. "Absolutely cor
rect, Miss Bond. But we made a
mistake this year, Miss Bond. We
misjudged your colt We lstd odds
of SO to 1 agslnst him. Frank ly,
wo dont think he can beat Caste
neta or Monitor at Derby distance
and we'd almost swear that he
cant beat Wharton's Red Soldier.
But of course, there's one chance
la SO the! ha might"
"And if he does wm how much
are you out?" Sherry demanded.
"More then 80 grand. I'm play
Ing fair telling you the tacts.
We've taken in almost 16300 on
Pepper Boy. To play safe, we're
willing to pay you $5000 to keep
him in the bairn. Then well make
a profit of about $1800 on the
transaction."
' "I ace I see," said Sherry,
BtBklly. "Pretty neat!"
e e a
rPHK man misjudged her, went
on, speaking with more en
thusiasm: "You are using business sense,
Miss Bond and X congratulate
you. Your word is good, Miss
Bond."
"You're right H is," aha man
aged to say. "If s so darn good,
that if it you dont get out of

"Very wen." The man picked
up the money, put on his hat care
fully. "YouH regret this."

SHERRY fait unclean after the
encounter with the thick

Wharton bad warned her. that

side would touch her but it had.
