"Does he attend these meetings regularly?"
"You seem to be interested in him, Felix."
"Yes, I know him."
"And don't like him, evidently," observed Charley, judging from his friend's tone.
"That is true; I don't like him. But you haven't answered my question."
"I have met him on nearly every race-course I have been to; he is always to be seen in the 'ring,' I should say."
Felix did not pursue the subject, but later in the day said,
"Have you any documents, Charley, connected with your betting experiences, or have you destroyed them?"
"I have them all. By-the-bye, they might be useful to you; there are some strange things among them--well, perhaps not strange in themselves, but strange that such things should be allowed. It would be a good subject for you to take up."
