THE STORY THUS FAR
The story la laid in the Indian
territory and Is along the Kansas
border in the 'SOu, when a fight
was being waged by tlio "Boom
ers" for the opening of the terri
tory to settlement.
Chief characters are:
Tony Harrison, orphaned at 13
when hia father was murdered in
a poker game;
Pawnee Bill, adventurer, Indian
Interpreter and showman; ,
Joe Craig, who takes Tony to
the Bar K ranch to live;
Titus Moore, owner of the Bar
K;
Rita Moore, hla little tomboy
daughter.
When Tony Is 15, Rita and her
mother depart for Virginia and the
boy learns for the first time how
much he cares for the little red-
haired, arrogant miss. Titus
Moore, owner of a thoroughbred
mare, Is challenged to a horse
race in Caldwell by Clyde Jones,
owner of a remarkabte stallion.
CHAPTER XXIV
"My gawd!" ejaculated Joe
Craig. "Did you hear that, Tony?
But Tony had heard and under
stood only too well. He was think
ing that the responsibility he had
so enthusiast tciilly assumed had
grown suddenly to the proportions
of a staggering load.
: "What," he asked . himself, "If
Fancy was to lose through some
carelessness of miu? It would be
bad enough to have her beaten, but
I'd hato to ue the cause of the
colonel losing five thousand dol
lars and his mare in the bargain."
"We'll, shake on it, then." Jones
waB saying to Titus Moore. "And1
now how about a stake holder?" !
"As far as I!nl , concerned," he j
was told, u "a stakeholder isn't,
iietcnnuijr. i uur uruB gouu
enough for me, and most men are
satisfied with mine."
Jones stared at him a moment
then nodded briefly. "It satisfies'
me, too."
The news seemed to spread on
wings. Within an hour everyone in
Caldwell knew that the owners of
Black Diamond and Fancy bad bet
five thousand dollars apiece and
their horses as well.
The weekly Caldwell Tribune,
Issued the morning of the race,
carried a stirring editorial by John
Blake. Betting on a horse race was
gambling, he admitted; neverthe
less the editor of the Tribune had
a weakness for it.
"If it bo treason,' he wrote,
"make the most of It. As long ns
horses run thoro will ho wagering,
and our own judgment, Which la
often wrong. Is backing the Ken-1
tticlty mare."
. Tho extent to which Titus Moore'
had plunged oil his thoroughbred I
had caused somo surprise among
the Bar K men, but Joe Craig had
a plausible explanation.

considered." he pronounced sagely
as be "borrowed" a cigar. "First of
all, the colonel's a true gambler.
You might say he's got the real
gambler's Instinct, - which Is to
back your Judgment to the, limit.
Take this race, now; the old man's
confident of winning; he's got a
great little mare and he don't
think it runs In her blood to be
beaten. And if he can't see how
she can lose, why shouldn't he bet
that way?
"As for risking Fancy herself, I
think I've got that worked out,
too. It would break his heart any
way, If she lost and it was proved
some other horse was her master.
He'd never feel the same about
her; he'd never forget that she
failed him in the big test. Under
stand, I'm not saying herd turn
against her that's not his way.
I'm trying to say that she'd never
be the same to him.
"So he's risking her, along with
his five thousand. If he wins, it
means he was right in his judg
ment. If he loses " Craig broke
off and gestured expressively with
bis hands.
The calmest of all of Fancy's
backers was Titus Moore himself, I
half au hour before the start of
the race he stood beside the mare
and talked to her in an even voice,
while Fancy nuzzled his cheek. -"Tony,"
he said, turning to the
boy, "there's just one bit of ad
vice I want to give you. I have an
idea Black Diamond's owner is go
ing to order his boy to let the
horse out from the start and keep
him going that way to the finish.
The stallion is big and strong aud
he won't tire; there'd be uo Bense
in holding him back. But that's not
tho way to race Fancy. If she'll do
it for you, I want you to match the
stallion's pace, keeping about halt
a length behind him, for the first'
half-mile. In the last quarter ask
her for everything she's got. The
mares got a great heart; Tony;
she'll have a sprint left for you."
He stroked Fancy's muzzle affec
tionately, letting his eyes- rove
over her trim figure in a final ap
praisal. Tony Harrison nodded. Some
thing of the colonel's calmness had
communicated Itself to him during
the last few minutes. Considering
llio restless, Well nigh sleepless.
night he had spent, he now-felt un
accountably quiet of nerve,
though soothing hands had stroked
his temples.
"She's a gront little piece of
horseflesh, Tony," Titus Moore
went on, still fondling the thor
oughbred, "and she's proud proud
of the good, clean blood in her.
ou don t know how much I'd like
to ride her myself."
"I think I do," tho boy replied
Quietly. "You don't know how
proud t am mysolf, of being able
to rldo her. I'll do my best." He sat
down and pulled ort his boots; then
stood up again. and thrust a stock-

pound'il count,': 1 be ' (ohj I Titus
Moore as be swung into the saddle.
Moore nodded approvingly. The
boy had divested himself of every
bit of superfluous clothing and sat
clad only in trousers, shirt and
socks. There was a blast from a
bugle and the colonel lingered to
press his rider's hand, then strode
calmly, head erect, to a box where
sat Clyde Jones mid a party of
friends and Joe Craig.
Jones wore a wide grin. "I feel
real sorry for you. Colonel." he
culled, and Craig frowned. "Save
your sympathy," he retorted. "Vou
might need it."
To Titus Moore he added quick
ly: "It sure will do me good to see
that bag of wind lose, it always
goes hard with that kind."
His employer said nothing. Chin
In hand, he was gazing intently at
a spot some fifty yards away
where two men were leading the
mounted animals up to the start
lug line, "lllack Diamond," Craig
informed him in his ear, "Is carry
ing a hundred and forty pounds.
Jones said he. didn't want to have
any advantage in the weights."
Colonel Moore nodded. "That
was real white of him.'' ' : '
Somewhere a six-gun barked and
two horses shot forward in a
swirl of dust. A full-throated cry
arose from the seats as long-stifled
emotions were released, and the
colonel settled himself back, his
face an Impassive mask.
It was all vory brief. True to
Titus Moore's prediction, tho boy
on Black Diamond was trying to
show Fancy the stallion's, heels nil
the way. He overhauled the mars
in half a dozen jumps, and there
after Tony clung to him, no more
thin a" length behind.
Craig saw Clyde Jones Bprlng
rrom his seat with a battle-cry of
inumpn as tne stallion sprang
Into the lend. "He's running sway
irom ner, no pealed.
And then Craig saw the broad
smile rauo as Fancy clung tena
ciously to the pace-setting Black
Diamond; saw It vanish entirely to
be replaced with a frown as, with
two-thirds of the race run, Tony
Harrison leaned far forward with
a word in Fancy's ear and tho
mare responded with a magnifi
cent spurt. row she was pulling
up on him; daylight closed be
tween them; her head was abreast
of his saddle, his neck, was oven
with his; and now sho was ahead.
Joe Craig shouted himself
hoarse. "Just look at her, Colo
nel!" he begged. "Just look at her!
Oh, whnt a beauty! What ; a
beauty!" : t
"She's doing just what I expect-
eu or her, Joe." tho colonel re
sponded without turning his head.
"lonys run her perfectly."
It was true. Another twenty
yards and Fancy would havo been
overhauled, but tne boy had
gauged ho resources admirably. At
mo ena, uinck Diamond was gain
lug on her In a thunderous finish
and Fancy wns perceptibly tired,
buV she flushed over tho line half
a length, ahead. , ...

hand outstretched la congratula-l

: "By God!" He exclaimed. '"I'm :
surprised, but I'm licked. Colonel j
Moore, 1 didn't think It possible ;
there was another horse in tills
country as fast as Black Diamond. ,
The mare won because she s a Bet
ter horse; tho stallion's yours and
so is this." and he fished out his
fat wallet.
Titus Moore got to his feet. A 1
committee was approaching the
victorious Fancy to place a wreath I
of flowers around her neck and j
another about Tony Harrison's !
shouldors. The colonel was very ,
happy; he was even close to ,
tears; but outwardly he Was im
perturbable. He faced Clyde Jones and
clasped his hand. "My friend," no
said, "you say what isn't so. It
Isn't fair to that wonderful horse
of vours to sav that ho was beaten
by a better one. He was beaten by j
a better one at that distance, that
is all. You saw for yourself, and it
must have done your heart good to
see It, that Black Diamond would
have won easily at a mile."
Jones nodded. "Yes, I believe he
would. I'm right glad to hear you
say so."
Titus Moore smiled a little more
broadly und rested hlB hand affec
tionately on Joo Craig's Bhoulder.
"Mr.. Joiicb," he snid, "you have
shown yourself to Ue a fine gentle
man and a -good sport. The hard
est thing In life is to lose grace
fully and yoit'vo done It."
Tho other bowed a little nncl

Moore continued, "but I won't

him back." , '
Jones protested volubly. "Noth
ing of tho kind. Nothing of the
kind. The stallion's yours; I lost
Him; I couldn't think of It."
- "NeverthcleBs," insisted Titue
Tiloorb,- "I can't accept him."
': At that moment Fancy, with
Tony still In the saddle, was being
led forward to the box where
Colonel -Moore stood, and a cry
went up for the colonel to stand
beside her and show himself to the
crowd.
i Ami' Clyde Jones, his gaze rest
ing on Tony Harrison, told the
colonel :' "Well, If you won't take
him, I'll give him to the boy who
