"How—?"
"Dad offered Clancy five thousand and his share of the gate money to quit."
"Clancy refused?"
"He was very white about it. He sent the message over to Jerry."
"And Jerry?"
"The boy doubled any amount dad offered if Clancy would go on. Clancy stands to win fifteen thousand. Dad quit. I told him Jerry had made up his mind. He realizes it now."
"Fifteen thousand! Clancy will work for it."
Jack smiled grimly. "I think Jerry wants him to."
The boy was mad—clean mad.
