Another great tract of land, the great Rosebud Indian Reservation, with a million acres of homesteads, was to be thrown open. A lottery with 1500 square miles of territory as the sweepstakes and 100,000 people playing its wheel of fortune.

He snipped the message from his tail, unrolled it, and read: "Arnaux left Chicago this morning at 4 A.M., scratched in the Any Age Sweepstakes for New York." "Six hundred miles in twelve hours! By the powers, that's a record-breaker." And the pigeon-stealer gently, almost reverently, put the fluttering Bird safely into a padded cage.

I can't remember. Th' race th' sweepstakes that's it " Reaching over he jerked the reins from the hand of Carolyn June. "Who who get the " came like the thick growl of a beast from his throat. "You you can't ride she'll she'll kill " Carolyn June shrank back as if she had been struck.
"You know he is fine in a crowd," and the officer smilingly accepted the services of Spot. And crowds there were, too, to go through; for as on the Sweepstakes Days all of Nome had gathered to bid a final God Speed to the greatest dogs of Alaska a Foreign Legion indeed bound for the front.
