First one looks like a winner , then the other . It 's as pretty running as I ever see . Then Pete lets out a wonderful burst of speed , ` zings ' over the last quarter , noses out Manard at the wire , and brings home the money . He dies at 3 A.M. and wins by four hours . I cop eighty-four dollars , six pairs of suspenders , a keg of wire nails , and a frying-pan , which constitutes all the circulating medium of the camp . I 'm the stakeholder for the late deceased also , so I find myself the administrator of Manard 's dog and the ten dollars that Pete put up . `` Now , seeing that it had been a killing finish , we arrange for a double-barreled burial and a swell funeral .
