But what visible sweepstakes are there except M. P.'s son? You and M. P. are friends. It is only natural that you should ask about him." Verelst turned uneasily. "I don't yet see how you got it. The only thing I said is that I heard he was dying." "And five minutes ago you exclaimed at his resurrection. There is a discrepancy there that is very suggestive." "It is none of my making then."
In another minute or two he is on board again; and away she goes for home. "I think you have won the sweepstakes, Miss White," Macleod said. "Your enemy has lost eight minutes." She was not thinking of sweepstakes. She seemed to have been greatly frightened by the accident. "It would have been so dreadful to see a man drowned before your eyes in the midst of a mere holiday excursion."
The Ramblin' Kid nodded to Old Heck, glanced at Ophelia with a smile, looked steadily an instant at Carolyn June and raising his hat to the two women passed on with the remark: "I reckon I'll go on over an' see what they're doin'." "Has he entered the outlaw filly for the sweepstakes, yet?" Old Heck asked Chuck as the Ramblin' Kid reined Captain Jack down the race track.
"Looks like a Sweepstakes team through the wrong end of the opry glasses, don't it?" exclaimed Matt with justifiable pride to Black Mart Barclay, who happened to be next him. Mart scrutinized the entry closely. "Not so bad. Them Mego pups is allers fair lookers an' fair go-ers, so fur's I ever heered t' the contrary," he admitted grudgingly.
I wanted to see my horse that was about to run for the Salmagundi Sweepstakes, and to tell my jockey that I'd give him fifteen thousand, instead of ten thousand, if he won for I had put quite a bunch down. I was a figure at the tracks in those days. I went into racing on my customary generous scale.
As Old Heck said "dirty" the picture of Mike Sabota flashed into Carolyn June's mind. Some intuition seemed to couple, in her inner consciousness, the big Greek with the Ramblin' Kid's disappearance. The horses for the two-mile sweepstakes were already beginning to come on to the track.
"When the procession was nearing the cemetery, a number of horsemen, who were late, galloped up in the rear. The chestnut, supposing a race was on, took the bit in his teeth and tore down past the procession as though it was a free-for-all Texas sweepstakes, the old man's white beard whipping the breeze in his endeavor to hold in the horse.
Every now and then, as the fashionable season comes round, in some corner of its space the daily press records a wholesale slaughter of the pigeon species. The world is informed of a series of sweepstakes, in which guardsmen and peers and foreigners of distinction take part. So many birds are shot at, so many are killed, so many get away.
"And that to be sure you will; won't you? or else you'll be a great fool, I know, after all I've told you. How can anyone in the world know so much about the matter as I, who have dined with Lady Diana Sweepstakes but yesterday, and heard all about it from beginning to end?
Hal, who had been more accustomed to think of what was fashionable, than of what was reasonable, without at all considering the good sense of what his uncle said to him, replied, with childish petulance, "Indeed, sir, I don't know what other people think; but I only know what Lady Diana Sweepstakes said."
