When Floyd arrived at th? race trnck on the day following his talk with Hopkins nnd Tony he saw a new bookmaker's stand In the lino under the shed of the betting ring.

Floyd knew liy this sign that Camp had bet enough of hla own money to win out the money that was in the book. Walking quietly through the ring, he stopiied long enough before a number of books to make several good-sizewagers on I .onion Squeezer. Ho already had given Tony (1,000 to wager on the same horse. Thr.mas Camp, besides getting all the money to be had In his own hook, also had wagered hundreds on Apple-jacin other books about the ring, and was surprised to note when he returned from the paddock, where he had Just saddled his horse and given final instructions to the jockey, that the price against Squeezer, his own horse, had not gone np in the belting. He was unaware that a large amount of money bet by Floyd had forced the price down. He had no time to investigate. however, as the horses already sere at the post, and he hurried to a point of vantage from which be cnuhl view the raee. Across the track In the infield Tony the Tout and Hank Harlin. owner of Applejack, stood talking together. Doc Floyd, watching the pair through his fleldglasscs from the grandstand, saw Tony pass a small package of bookd makers tickets to llarlin. "They're off!" came the buzzing cry of the frowd in chorus ns the barrier over at the pole whizzed up and a field of eight horses leaped forward.

The two men, drinking large glasses of wine at the bar, paid slight atten tion to a sudden cheering and commotion on the outside. I guess we put over a good one that time, didn't we?" Floyd looked around upon the smiling face of Tony. "Why, you young hound, I ought to break your head with this bottle, he said in low but dangerously threaten Ing tones. What's the matter, pal? Ain't ou wise to what's happened?" No, what Is It?" broke In young Hopkins, anxiously. Why, Applejack was disqualified for not having up enough weight, Somehow or other Hank Harlin was careless in putting his lead pads to make the extra weight along with the saddle, and the jockey lost ten pounds of lead while he was at the post. Careless of Hank, wasn't It? He's been looking for a chance to double cross Camp and fell for my little scheme when I told him how much money we would bet for him on the other lmrse.' "And then we've won in the book be s'r.es the outside bets?" exclaimed young Hopkins, suddenly realizing that Tony the Tour had made good. "You should have told us how you were going to pull It off." drawled Floyd. "We nearly had heart failure and you can't blame us for doubting you. can you?" "Well, Ive showed you lhat I could put one over, anyway," returned Tony "And now, so far as Im concerned they can turn all the race tracks In the country into golf links.
