20O HARK FORRARD! 



' I don't know, sir, but I do wish you would 

 see Bowman and have a conversation with him 

 about it.' 



' Certainly I will ; there is no time to 

 lose. The race is next week, and I have 

 backed this horse to win me more money 

 than a little. But why do you want me to 

 see Bowman ? ' 



' Because he and I are very great friends, 

 and we are neither of us satisfied about this 

 business. We had a talk about it at York the 

 other day. I suppose you have every confi- 

 dence in Mr. Tryall ? ' 



' Certainly I have,' said Reginald Miller. 



' I don't think Bowman has, sir.' 



'Don't you? Why?' 



' He will tell you all about it, sir, if you ask 

 him ; he hasn't told me, but I am sure from 

 what he said that he isn't at all satisfied with 

 the way things are going.' 



' I will make a point of seeing Bowman at 

 once,' said Reginald Miller ; ' in fact, I will 

 write to him this minute.'
