At the three quarters Lauzanne and Diablo were neck and neck; at the half, the Black was lapped on Lucretia; another furlong and she was laboring to keep her place, nose and nose with him. "I'm done," panted Carter, feeling the mare swerve and falter; "I'm done God help us!" Still there was no check in the Black's gallop; he was like a devil that could go on forever and ever.

"Didn't I tell you Lauzanne wins in a walk!" the falsetto voice was an exultant squeak of hilarious excitement. "You called the turn." Even Ned's baritone had risen to a false-keyed tenor; he was standing on his toes, peering over the heads of taller men in front.

He had said to Allis before she went out, "If ye ever get level wit' 'em in the straight, ye can win." And now Lauzanne's yellow head was even with the others; and soon it was in front. And then there were only two battling Lauzanne and The Dutchman; and on the Bay, Westley was riding with whip and spur.

When the conversation had dealt with broad principles, men and their shortcomings, the previous evening, she had centralized it in Lauzanne, picturing him as symbolical of good acts and evil repute. Patently it was difficult to become interested in such a young woman; actually she monopolized their thoughts.

The backer was a reliable man and asked for a fair run for his money. The note had come too late just as the horses were starting to be of avail, except as a corroboration of the suspicious features of the race. Starter Carson's evidence as to McKay's handling of the mare coincided with the contents of the note. Then there was the fact of Porter's having bought Lauzanne.

"I won't come and tell you that we've lost, dad; I'll come and tell you that we've won; and then we'll all have the biggest kind of a blow-out right here in the house. We'll have a champagne supper, with cider for champagne, eh, dad? Alan, and Dixon, and old Mike, and perhaps we'll even bring Lauzanne in for the nuts and raisins at desert." "And the Rev.

The public having got into its head that Porter was playing coups, generously suggested that he was pulling Lauzanne to get him in some big handicap light. "I won't feed such a skate all winter," he declared angrily, after a little pause. "Well, give him to me, father," the girl had pleaded; "I am certain that he'll make good some day; you'll see that he'll pay you for keeping your word."

Yes his daughter Allis. But just now he was thinking of Lucretia Lucretia and her rival, the golden-haired chestnut, Lauzanne. He passed through the narrow gate leading from the paddock to the Grand Stand. The gate keeper nodded pleasantly to him and said: "Hope you'll do the trick with the little mare, sir.

"They're friends of mine, and I offered to buy Lauzanne back, just to help them out; but the old man's daughter has got the Chestnut for a hack, and she won't sell him. It was Diablo's fault that Porter got the fall, so they were willing to part with him, and I took the brute."

The offer to buy Lauzanne had been a bit of saving grace, a faint, generous impulse, begot of Allis's regenerating influence; but Crane had discovered that Porter did not at all suspect him of interest in the fraud that was a great something. He had also established himself firmly in Mrs. Porter's good graces, he could see. It would be indeed strange if in the end he did not succeed completely.
