SYNOPSIS Seaman Benny Linn and Fireman Tim Dunnevan were shipmates aboard the U.S.S. "Trimble." The firm of Dunnevan * Linn, Force and Brains, Inc., believes that civiliana sold sailors elephants; in other words, "put over fast ones." So. when Tim inherits >143647, and his cousin Voice Garvey, a racehorse trainer, induces him to invest 5640 of it in a sore-footed nag, named Erin Go Bragh. Benny eaclaims "Elephants I** All this would never have happened if Elnora Templeton, lovely daughter of Captain and Mrs. Templeton, had not insisted that her suitor, Bert Sedgwick, wealthy sportsman, give up his string of horses and Join the flying corps. Erin Go Bragh had been one of Sedgwick’s ponies, and had never won a racel To make matters worse, Dunnevan confesses he . ' gave Voice a month’s trainer's fee of 1150. 1100 to Jockey Skeeier Desko on account. 142.50 to Ten Percent, an agent, for back commissions Skeeter owed, and a |75 race entry fee. Only 1429 of Tim's windfall remained. When Angelo Fernandes, a vegetable man, offers to bay Erin Go Bragh for |7O, saying he has a horse just like him and wants to make a team, a sly gleam comes into Benny’s eye and he makes a secret deal with the Mesican. Getting a five-day furlough, Tim and Benny go to even accounts with the civilians, particularly one Bert Sedgwick, whom Benny had phoned, introducing himself as "Mr. Benjamin Linn frors Virginia.** It io tbs Brain's pU.> to sell Erin Go Bragh back to Sedgwick. Arriving at the Linn-Dunn stable, a one-etall affair at the Del Mar race-track, Tim and Benny find Cousin Garvey seated on a feedboa. Benny loose no time in telling Voice whet he thinks of chiseiers but adds that he’ll let Garvey get away with it because he, Benny, needs a good phsnagter. Garvey gasps and turns to Ten Percent. “They've caught on Mermie. The little guy is a sea lawyer!** CHAPTER NINE Ten Percent started to bluster. “Pip* down. Rat!’’ snapped Seaman Linn, "you ain't nothin* but a peracids—a cheap parse Ide on poor little jochs. They’* all quit you eaceptia’ Desks. The only reason he ain't left you flat is he's afraid of you. I dunno why, but I could leaks a good guess—" “Too ain’t big enough to talk—** ‘‘YerseT* Fireman Dunnevan slapped Ton Percent with the flat of bis good right hand. Ten Percent staggered against the barn and fell. “No rough stuff, Tim I" “Okay, Benny." Going over to Ten Percent, Tim picked him up and brushed the dirt off bis natty double-breasted suit “No hard feelin's. Ten Percent." said Seaman Linn. “I an* Tim can use you to keep Deeko in hand. They tell me he's a good rider, if be*d lay off the reefers an' take Ms Epsom salts regular.” Then Benny turned to Jockey Desko who bad stepped out of the box.tall -That right.
