When Tommy had gone away, how ever, trying to stand very stiff and keep his elbows primly beside him, Alison looked after him lovingly, then turned and shook her fist at the recto ry, which was visible ncross half a mile of lields.

"Hnve I your consent, geutlomen?" At the word he waved his hand, nnd the boy at the weighing block picked up his saddle nud stepped ou the scales. Ten minutes later they were In line below the staud sorrel and bay, chestnut nnd gray; but, peerless among I them nil, the son of Hindoo fretted and pawed, rolling his eyes, thnt now showed the "battleflag" more than i.r..r.

They were near enough for the judges to see the flash of the great bay's eyes as he gathered himself and with a mighty effort landed under the wire just a nose length ahead of the black. And then pandemonium broke loose. Men clambered down from everywhere. Up went the numbers Bay Prince first, Black Kover second nnd Zingara third. It was all over, and the Derby hnd gone down into history. In the midst of It a little figure all iu its gav scarlet satins dropped from the saddle and was half carried by Jim to the weigh lug block.
