"An' how fur did you ever run him without a break? Why, when we ketched thet sorrel last year I rode Nagger myself thirty miles, most at a hard gallop. An' he never turned a hair!" "I've beat thet," replied Lin. "He could run hard fifty miles mebbe more. Honestly, I never seen him tired yet. If only he was fast!"

All suggestions of anything other than the strictest high-mindedness were withdrawn from both sides. In order that the day should not be wholly destitute of sunshine at the Golden Abacus, Lin declared his intention of purchasing, at a price not exceeding three taels and a half, the oldest and most unattractive burial robe that the stock contained.

"She's corralled Sidney's cash!" said the delighted Lin. "He can't bet nothing on this shower." And then, after all, this time it didn't rain! Stripped of money both ways, Cheyenne, having most fortunately purchased a return ticket, sought its home. The perplexed rain-maker went somewhere else, without his assistant. Lusk's exulting wife, having the money, retained him with her.

After a short chat with dowager lady Chia, Pao-ch'ai likewise entered the apartment to find out what her cousin Lin was up to.
