“Just what I say. Surely you haven’t forgotten our conversation in Cincinnati?”
“Cincinnati?” and Jimmy’s blank look showed surprise.
“Yes; the little talk we had about letting Jupiter win.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” protested Jimmy.
Jones stepped back and looked at Jimmy sternly.
“What are you trying to do, make a fool of me?” he asked. “I suppose you’ll tell me in a minute you didn’t see me in Cincinnati.”
“I didn’t,” replied Jimmy.
Jones gave a long and expressive whistle.
“I see,” he said. “Your conscience has troubled you, eh? You are going back on your bargain.”
“I made no bargain with you,” said Jimmy angrily.
