Slipper
Slyman
had
always
dealt
on
the
square,
had
scorned
many
approaches--that
was
well
known.
Most
believed
in
him,
but
there
were
some
malcontents,
and
when
a
man
with
many
gold
seals
approached
the
Steward
and
formulated
charges,
serious
and
well-backed,
they
must
perforce
suspend
the
slipper
pending
an
inquiry,
and
thus
Mickey
Doo
reigned
in
his
stead.
Mickey
was
poor
and
not
over-scrupulous.
Here
was
a
chance
to
make
a
year's
pay
in
a
minute,
nothing
wrong
about
it,
no
harm
to
the
Dog
or
the
Rabbit
either.
One
Jack-rabbit
is
much
like
another.
Everybody
knows
that;
it
was
simply
a
question
of
choosing
your
Jack.
The
preliminaries
were
over.
Fifty
Jacks
had
been
run
and
killed.
Mickey
had
done
his
work
satisfactorily;
a
fair
slip
had
been
given
to
every
leash.
He
was
still
in
command
as
slipper.
Now
came
the
final
for
the
cup--the
cup
and
the
large
stakes.
