No ons knew which horse bad won.
Presently a quiet eama over the mob .like
a lull la a storm. Silently they waited
for the winning number to go up.
"I believe It's a dead heat," said Porter,
and Allla noted how calm and res.ful his
voice founded after the exultant babel of
the hoane-throated watchers.
"Where waa Lucretia, father?"
"Third," he answered laconically, school
ing bis voice to Indifference. "I hope It's
a dead heat, for If Lauzanne gets the ver
dict l'v. got to take him. I don't want
him after that run; they made him a
present of the race at the start, and be
only Just squeezed home."
"Why must you take the horse, father,
II you don't want him? I don't under
stand." "I suppose there's no law for It I said
I would, that's all. The whole thing Is
crooked, though; they stole the raca from
Lucretia and planted roe with a dope horse
and banged If I don't feel like backing out.
Let Langdon go before the stewards about
" the sale If he dare."
"Did you glv. your word that you'd buy
the horse, father?"
"I did, but It was a plant."
"Then you'll take him, father. People
say that John Porter's word is as good
as hrs bond, and that sounds sweeter In
my ears than If I were to hear them say
that you were rich, or clever, or almost
anything."
"Lausanne gets It!" called the eager,
grating voice behind them. "There go the
numbers, Ned 3, 5. 10; Lauzanne, The
Dutchman, Lucretia. 1 knew it Dick
don't make no mistakes when he's out for
blood.,"
"He drew It a bit fine that time." growled
Ned, still In opposition; "It was the clos
est sort of a shave."
"Hurrah, Lauzanne!"
Again there was more hurrying of feet
a the chestnut's backers who had waited
In the stand for the Judges' decision, hur
ried down to the gold mart.
"You'll take Lauzanne, father," Allls
said, when the tumult had stilled; "It
will come out right somehow I know It
will he'll win again."
John Porter stood Irresolutely for a
minute, not answering the girl, as though
he were loth to go close to the contaminat
ing Influence that seemed part and parcel
of Lauzanne and which was stretching out
to envelop him. He waa thinking moodily
that he had played against a man who used
loaded dice and had lost through his own
rashness. He had staked so much on the
race that the. loen would cut rrlppllngly
Into his affairs.
"I guess you're right, Allls," he said; "a
man's sot to keep his word, no matter
what happens. I never owned a dope horse
yet and unless I'm mistaken this yellow
skate Is one today. I'll take htm, though,
girl; but he'll get nothing but oats from
me to make him gallop."
Then Porter went resolutely down the
steps, smothering In his heart the Just
rebellion, that was tempting him to re
pudiate .his bargain.
As he reached the lawn a lad swung
eagerly up the steps, threw bis eye In
quiringly along row after row of seat,
until it stopped at Allls. Then he dated
to her side.
"Hello, sis been looking for you.
Where's" dad?"
' "Oone to get Lauzanne."
"Lausanne I" and the boy's eyes, that
were exactly Ilk her own, opened wide In
astonishment.
."Yes, father bought him."
"The deuce! . I say, Allli, that won't do.
Don't you know there's something wrong
about this race? I Just saved myself. I
backed the little mare for a V then I
beard something. This Langdon's a deuce
of a queer fish, I can tell you. I wonder
Crane has anything to do with him, for
the boss Is straight as they make them."
"Did you back Lauzanne, then, Alan?"
"You bet I did; quick, too; and was
hunting all over for the gov'nor to tell him.
You see, I know Langdon he comes to the
bank sometimes. He's that slick he'll
hardly say 'good day' for fear of giving
lotnethlng away."
"Then bow did you how did people know
there was something wrong?" .
"Ob, a woman, of course she blabbed.
I think she' Dick Langdon's sister, and"
"Hueh-h-h!" and Allls laid her hand on
the boy's arm. Indicating with a curve of
her eyes the woman In the seat behind
them.
"I'd better go and tell father"
"You needn't bother; he knows. It's a
uestlon of honor. Father said he'd buy the
horse, and he's gone to make' good."
"I wouldn't; that sort of thing will break
a man."
"It's a good way to go broke, Alan. Per
haps we'd all been richer If It waan't so
itrong In the Porter blood, but all the same,
brother, you do Just as father Is doing today
always keep' your word. I tell you what
It Is boy" and her face lighted up as she
' i poke "father Is a hero that's what he Is;
he's Just the biggest, braveat man ever
lived. He couldn't do a mean act. How did
you get away from the bank, Alan?" she
aid, changing the subject; "I didn't know
you were coming today."
"Mortimer was light and took on my
work. He's a good sort"
"Does he bet?"
"The boy laughed. "Mortimer bet? That's
rich. We call him 'Old Solemnity' In the
bank, but he doesn't mean any harm by It
fee Just can't help It, that's all. If he had

way there's Crane. See, Allls! I've a no
tion to tell him that his trainer is a crook."
"No. vou won't. Alan you're too young to
gabble."
Philip Crane bad evidently intended going
higher up in the stand, but, his eye lighting
on the brother and suiter, he stopped and
turned In to where they were sitting.
"Good afternoon. Miss Porter."
Allls started. Was the stand possessed
of unpleasant voices? There was a me
tallic ring in Crane's that affected her
disagreeably. He was almost a stranger
to her; she hardly remembered ever having
spoken to him.
He turned and nodded pleasantly to
Alan, saying "May J take this seat? I
am tired. The cashier let you off for the
day, eh?" he continued. "Came up to see
your father's mare run, I . supposs I'm
deuced sorry she was beaten."
"What are tbey watting for why have
they taken the horses' numbers down
again? Are tbey trying to steal the race
from Lauxanne now?" It was the woman's
voles behind them, petulantly exclaiming.
Crane turned in his seat, looked over
his shoulder and raised his hat.
"The Impatient lady Is my trainer's
sister," he explained, In a modulated tone
to Allls. "A trainer is quite an autocrat,
I assure you, and on. must be very careful
not to forget any of the obvious courte
sies." Allls wondered why he should find It
necessary to make any explanation at all.'
"I want to thank you. Miss Porter, tor
that reading about Crusader."
Allls' eyes opened wide.
"Yes, I was there' Crane added, an
swering the question that was In them.
As he said this a man came hurriedly
up the steps, spoke to a policeman on guard
and searched the. faces with his eyes.
Catching sight of Crane, he came quickly
forward and whispered something in his
ear.
"Excuse , me, I must go I'm wanted,"
Crane said' to Allls.
As n turned the trainer's sister spoke
to him.
"What'i the matter, Mr. Crane there's
something going on up in ths stewards'
stand?"
"I fancy there's an objection, though I
don't know anything about it," he an
swered, as be went down the steps with
the messenger.
Allls breathed freer when he had gone.
Somehow his presence had oppressed her;
perhaps It was the fierce stephanotts that
came In clouds from the woman behind that
smothered her senses. Crsne had ssld
nothing just a commonplace compliment.
Like an Inspiration it came to the girl
what had affected her so disagreeably In
Crane it was his eyes. They were hard,
cold, glittering gray eyes, looking out from
between partly closed eyelids. Allls could
se. them still. The lowsr lids cut straight
across; it wss as though the eyes were
peeping at her over a ston. wall.

did I tell you about Cmssder?"
Alan sal
said, triumphantly. "There's an-
! other.
"Alan!"
"I wondered why Mr. Crane was so deuced
friendly, but there's nothing to get cross
about girl; he's a Una old chsp and got lots
of wealth."
He leaned forward till he was close to his
sister's ear and added, In a whisper, "Her
ladyship behind. Belle Langdon, Is trying to
hook htm. Phew! but she's loud. But I'm
iff I'm going to sea what the row ta
about."
CHAPTER III.
When John Porter went down out of the
ctand the horses had Just cantered back to
we gh in.
The J.ckeys, oi.e after another, with up
taised whip, ha 1 eaiuted the Judge, received
his no:! to dismount, pulled saddles and
b Id.ea f.-cm their steeds and, In Indian Cle,
' were pas ing over the scales.
As Lucretia was led away, Porter turned
Into the paddock. He saw that Langdon
, wai walking for him.
! "Well, he won, Just as I said he'd do,"
declared the latter; "you've got a good horse
cheap. You'd oiiRht to've had a bet down
on b'.m an' won him out."
"He won," answered Porter, looking
stialght Into the other's shifty eyes, "but
he's a long way from being a good horse
no dope hcr.-e Is a good horse."
"What're ycu gl"ln' me?" demanded Lang
don, angrily.
"Just what every blackguard ought to have
the truth."
"By God!" the trainer began, in fierce
blasphemy. But John Porter took a step
nearer, and his gray eyes laid hold of the
other man's soul until it shriveled like a
dried leaf and emptied Itself of lta anger In
fear.
"Oh, if you want to crawl if you don't
want to take Lauzanne "
But Porter again interrupted Langdon
"I said I'd Uke the horse and I will, but
don't think that you're fooling me, Mr.
Langdon. .You're a blackguard of the first
water. Thank God, there are only a few
parasites such as you are racing it's
creatures Ilk. you that give tb. .port a
black .ye. If I can only get at the bottom
of what has been don. today, you'll get
ruled off and you'll stay ruled off. Now
turn Lauzanne over to Andy Dixon and
com. into the secretary'a office, where I'll
give you a check for him."
"Well, we'll settle about the horse now,
an' there'll be somethln to settle between
us, John Porter, at some other time and
som. oth.r place," blustered Langdon,
threateningly.
Porter looked at him with a half-amused.
half-tolerant expression on his square face,
and said, speaking in a very dry, convinc
ing vollce: "I guess the check will close
out all deals between us; it will pay you
to keep out of my way, I think."
As they moved toward tb. secretary's
office Porter was accosted by hla trainer.
"The stewards want . to speak to you,
sir," said Dixon.
"All right. Send a boy over to this
man's atabl. for Lauzanne I've bought
him."
Th. trainer stared In amasement.
"I'll give you tb. check when I come
back," Porter continued, speaking to Lang
don. "There's trouble on, sir." aald Dixon, as
they moved toward tb. stewards' box.
"There always Is," commented Porter,
drily.
"The stewards think Lucretia didn't run
up to her form. They've had me up, and
her Jock, McKay, is there now. Starter
Carson swears he couldn't get her away
from the post says MoKay fair anchored
the mare. He fined tb. boy $o0 at th.
start"
"I think they've got the wrong pig by
the ear whir don't they yank Langdon;
he's at the bottom of It. It's pretty rich,
Andy, isn't It? They hit me heavy over
tb. raca, and now they'd like to rule m.
off for that thief's work,' and he Jerked
hts thumb over his shoulder in th. direc
tion of Langdon.
"Yes, racln's hell, now," commented
Dixon, with laconic directness. "It seems
Just no use workin' over a good horse,
when any mut of a crook, who is takln' a
turn at plungln' can get at the boy. I
believe Boaton Bill's game of gettln a
straight boy to play, an' lettin the horses
go hang, Is the proper racket."
"Yes, a good boy is better than a good
horse, nowadays; but they're Uke north
poles hsrd to come by."
"Some mug give th. stewards a yarn
that you'd bought Lauzanne, sir, an' ses
that's why you didn't win with ths mare."
Porter stopped and gasped In astonish
ment. What next?"
"You see, continued Dixon, apologetic
ally, "I didn't know you waa meanln' to
buy that skate, so I says it was all a
d lie."
"Things are mixed, Andy, ain't they?"
"I didn't know ,slr "
"Of eours. not I didn't mention it to
you It waa all a fluke. But I don't blam.
you, Andy. I'll go and talk to tb. stew
ardsthey're all right; tbey only want to
get at the truth of it."
As Porter went up th. steps of the stew
ards' stand h. felt how like a man mount
ing a acaftold he was, an innocent man con
demned to be hanged for another's crims.
The investigation had been brought about
by a note one of the stewards bsd received.
The sender of the mlsslvs stated In it that
be bad backed Lucretia heavily, but had
strong reasons for believing there was a
Job on. Th. backer was a reliable man
and asksd for a fair run for bis money.
Tbe note bad com. too lata just as the
horses were starting to b. of avail, except
as a corroboration of tbe suspicious features
of tbe raca. Starter Carson's evidence as
to McKsy's handling of the mare coincided
with the contents of the note. Then there
was th. fact of Porter's having bought
Lausanne. The stewards did not know th.
actual circumstance of th. sals, but bad
been told that Lucretla's owner had ac
quired the chestnut before the race.
Where all was suspicion, every trivial
happening was Isid hold of, and Alan's
trifling bet on Lauzanne had been magnified
Into a heavy plunge no doubt- the father's
money had been put on by the boy. A race
course Is like a household everything Is
known, absolutely everything.
Porter wsa aghast. Were all the furies
In league against him? He was more or
less a believer In lucky and unlucky days,
but he bid never experienced anything
quite so bad as this. He, the one innocent
man in the transaction, having lost almost
hie last dollar and having been saddled
with a bad horse, was now accused of being
the perpetrator of the villainy; and the in
ainuatlon was backed up by such a mass of
circumstantial evidence. No wonder he
flushed and stood silent, lost for words to
express his Indignation.
"Speak up, Mr. Porter," said the steward,
kindly. "Those that lost on Lucretia are
swearing the mare was pulled."
"And they're right," blurted out Porter.
"I know what the mare can do; she can
make hacks of that bunch. She was stopped
and Interfered with and given all the worst
of It from start to finish; but my money
was burnt up with the public's. I never
pulled a horse In my life and I'm too old to
begin now."
"I believe that," declared the steward
emphatically. "I've known you, John Por
ter, for forty years, man and boy, and
there never was anything crooked. But
we've got to clear this up. Racing isn't
FOOLING ME.
MR. LANGDON,
what it used to be it's on the square now
and w. want th. public to understand that.
"What does the boy say?" asked Porter;
"you've had him up?"
"He says the mare was helped; that she
ran Uke a drunken man swayed all over
the course and he couldn't pull her together
at all."
"Does h. mean sha waa doped?"
"You've guessed It," answered the
steward, loconlcally.
"That's nonsense, sir and he know, it

had a grain of cocaine in her life never
even a bracer of whiskey she doesn't need
it; ana as lor th. race, I hadn't a cent on
Lauzanne."
"But your son "
"He had a small bet, but I didn't know
that, even, until they were running."
"Did you tell him not to back Lucr.tla,
tor h. did Lauzanne?"
"I told him not to bet at all."
"And you played the mar. yourself?"
For answer. Porter showed th. steward
hts race program, on which was written
tb. wager he had mad. on Lucretia and
the bookmaker's name.
"Ask Ullmer to bring his betting sheet.
the steward said to an assistant.
On th. sheet, opposite John Porter's
badge number was a bet, (10,000 to 14.000,
in the Lucretia column.
"Did this gentleman mak. that bet with
you?" th. steward asked ot Ullmer.
"He carries the number; besides I know
Mr. Porter I remember laying it to him."
-manic you, that will do. Hit you
pretty hard," he aald, turning to Porter.
"And you hadn't a saver on Lauzanne?"
"Not a dollar."
"What about your buying him ia ther.
anything in that story?"
Porter explained - the purchase. The
steward nodded his head.
"They seem to have been pretty sure of
winning, these other people," he com
mented, "but w. can't do anything to them
for winning, nor about selling you the
horse I fear, and as far as you'r. . con
cerned Lucretia was supposed to be trying.
Who gave your Jockey orders?"
"Dixon. I don't interfere; h. train, the
horses."
"We'd like to hav. Dixon up her. again
for a minute. I sm sorry we've had to
trouble you, Mr. Porter; I can see there
is not tb. slightest suspicion attaches to
you."
In answer to th. steward's query about
the orders to McKay, Dixon said: "I told
McKay the boss had a big bet down and
to make no mistake no grandstand finish
for me. I told htm to get to the front as
socn as he could and stay there and win
by as far as be liked, I got tbe office that
tb.re'd be aomsthln' doln' in the race an'
I told him to get out by himself.
After Dixon waa dismissed the stewards
consulted for a minute, with the result
that McKsy waa suspended for the balance
of the meeting, pending a further Investi
gation into his methods.
During the carpeting of Porter and
Dixon a sea of upturned faces, furrowed
by lines of anxious interest, like those of
athletes competing for a prize, had sur
rounded the Judges' box. Wav. on wav.
the living waters reached back over tbe
graased lawn to th. batting ring. Tens,
with excitement, the ' indefinable feeling
that something was wrong had crept into
the minds of ths waiting people.
As the horses had Hashed past the post
and after a brief wait for decision Lau
sanne's number had gone up his backers
bad hastened eagerly to th. money mart
and lined up In waiting row. behind the
bookmaker's stands. There they waited,
fighting their impatient aoula in submis
sion, tor th. brief wait would end In the
acquiring of gold.
Why did not th. at.atortan-volcod cri.r
send through th. ring th. joyful cry of
"Al right!" Th. minutes went by and the
delay became an age. A whisper vibrated
the th ong, as a breeze stirs slender

"It was the most barefaced Job I ever

Porter's mare and was vindictive.
"Not on your life," sneered a Tout,

"Why don't you pay," whined th. fourth,
"wtiaV. the puiiiug of the mare got to do

backer ot Lauzanne.
"Bet yer life th. bookies won't part till

"I'll Uke two to one The Dutchman gets

"That's what the public are up against

I know how it goes," asserted the Tout.
"You ought to know," drawled Lauzanne's
backer. The racing men within earshot
smiled, for the Tout had been a jockey be
fore his license had been taken away for
crooked work.
"Hello! here it comes," drawled Lau
zanne's backer, aa a tat, red-faced man cam.
swiftly down from tbs stewards' stand, ran
to the betting ring, and, pushing his way
through the crowd, called with the roar of a
gorilla: "Al-1-1 right! Lauzanne, first!
Th. Dutchman, second! Lucretia, third!
They're al-1-1 weighed In!"
A Niagara ot human beings poured from
the lawn to the cashier's; they ran as
though th. eours. was on fir. and they
aought to escape.
"What about Lucretia?" someone aaked
th. red-faced crier, as he came back out of
th. ring.
"They've broke McKay," he answered;
'suspended him."
"What did I tell you?" sneered the Tout,
maliciously; "it's the under dog gets th.

A Celt la an outspoken man when tbe
prod ot his hot temper has loosened bis
tongue, and Mike Gaynor waa a Celt In ex
cess.
The Injustice that had com. to his bene
factor, John Porter, had atirred a tempest
In his Irish soul. A fierce exclamation of
profane wrath had gone up from blm as he
watched the bad start from over the paa-
dook rail.
A misguided retribution led Starter Car
son to paas from the judge's stand, after
the race, along the narrow paasag. between
th. club stand and th. course, to the pad
dock gat.. Ther. he met Mlk., who forth
with set to flailing him.
'Did y. notic. a Uttl. mar. called Lu
cretia In that race, Mr. Carson aia yez
see anythln' av her at all down at the
poet?"
Carson's eyes twinkled uneasily, tears
of starting had taught him that self-control
waa nine out of tsn rules which anouia
govern th. starter's actions.
"Was ther. anythln tn matner wu yer
ancestor's eyes that ye come oy, jnisur
Carson?"
The starter made answer with a smile of
good-humored tolerance. But Mike was
only warming up; the hot blood was stlng
lnc his aulck brain and bis sharp tongua
galloped on with unbridled Irresponsibility.
With the deep pathos of .corn be continued;
'Ye're Carson, tb. starter Mlater Carson!
S'help me. Bob! ye couldn't sthart a stbreet
car down hill wlf bof brakes off!"
Carson ceased to smlls; the smile had
passed to other faces, tbe owners ol which
were listening with fiendish delight to tbe
istlgatlon.
Borne one touched Mike on the arm, say
ing: "Come over into ths paddock, oaynor;
you'r. bark In' up the wrong tree." It was
Dixon.

"Never mind, Mike," Interrupted Dixon;
let It drop."
Carson opened bis lips to retort; then
closed them tight, set his square Jaw firm,
turned on his heel and walked away.
'What " yes think av It, bye?" appealed
Mike to the others.
'You'r. wrong, Gaynor," declared a thin,
tall, hawk-faced maa, who was In bis shirt
sleeves; "my boy was In that run and it
isn't Carson's fault at all. It's dope, Mike.
