Br wr rUi, tk r to tin Skmry r4n klai CHAPTER IV SHERRY BOND wu standing la the infield, where the had gone escape talkative friends in the clubhouse. She wanted to watch Pepper Boy's flrrt race undls ; tarbed; but Sun, the colt'a blanket .! thrown over hii shoulder, wu : growling: "If that boy gets him off, fast t like, we tot a chance, jres'm." Pepper Boy had headed the line which cantered, then dropped to a , walk ud to the sate. Now iud I denly the colt ttopped 15 paces "v behind the starting line. Spread ' out his legs, shook hit head nerv ously. An assistant starter hsd run bsck, wai Jerking the colt's reins. "That tool man alnt got no business jerkin' a baby colt' Hush. 6aml" : Now aha saw Madden soothe Pepper Boy walk him into the starting stall number one by the rail but Pepper Boy dldnt stop at the starting line with the other ' horses he bolted through. Mad- i den was turning him around, wav t, tag the assistant starter aside, was walking Pepper Boy back through : the stall turning him around again all the other entries were ; en the line. Slowly slowly Mad den walked Pepper Boy into his stall once more halted him for a split second. The starting bell clanged. : "They oS!" rpHE watching thousands cheered , and yelled as tne neia or. norses ' 'a mass of moving color surged forward. But Pepper Boy on the - rail the one black colt in the race - was stumbling was falling sl- most to his knees Pepper Boy . was left at the post) . "Oh, lawiy, lawsyl" Sam moaned. The field was plunging down . the backstretch In brilliant sun v light, the horses kicking up a dust ' cloud; and behind the mass of ' horses and riders, behind the dust, streaked her little black hope running all alone. -Again the groom was mumbling ' at her side. "What's that, Sam?" "You didnt give that jockey no discretion, Miss Sherry," he gram . bled. "You should a-told Madden to qualify if he sees hisself beat . then he wouldn't bust the little : fellow's heart Look, he's a-whip-pin'alreadyl . ' So Madden was. Here in the in field they could hear distinctly not ' only the staccato clump of hoofs, : but also the aharp crack! crackl crackl of Madden's bat on the : horse's barrel. He wu forcing him. Punishing him. Riding hfen ; to orders. - "He's a-bustta the little feller's 1 heart," Sam protested again. "Oh, hush, Sam!" Sherry spoke It as a plea. Sam wu right she should have done u so many Horsemen did No, no, she wu right! Always send your horse out to win. Suddenly she leaned for ward, her hands clenched, . The field wu stringing past the hall-mile pole a bay horse wu , leading by a length. The favorite, Sun Halo. Next, two bones lapped each other; there wu a length opening, then came the remainder of the field, jumbled together. And : Pepper Boy wu running into that field lie had shot through the dust cloud-j-he wu closing ground fast be wu steeling through on - the rail was alongside that mass ' of horses. They were passing the tnree-eigntns pole Pepper Boy : had made up five lengths in three ruriongs! . "FASCINATED by this living " drama of the track, Sherry felt herself breathing in excited little gasps. She even heard her groom - mutter: -tie tho- got class yes, ' suh, he be a runnin' fool if he kin only hoi' out!" Madden wu still hugging the rail wu Jam ming the colt into a space so wider than a handkerchief yes. ne wu on ine rau and wu sav ing ground u they went Into the tar turn. "Lawsy, Miss Sherry, if Pepper Boy had a -got a even start, he'd sno- oe spread-eaglin' the field!" . The little black fellow wu run ning neck and neck with two horses in the second division now wu pulling away from them; only three horses in front of him, and one 01 inose, tne third horse, run ning a bit wide as they turned to ward tne Homestretch. Sherry Bond could see Madden pointing Pepper Boy's nose at the space between that third horse and the -rail but that horse's jocicey suddenly swerved over. took the rail himself, blocked Madden. Pepper Boy pulled out, wu coming up, but the third horse . shot ahead into a space between . oun naio on the rail and the out side none, a dark chestnut. Madden wu pocketed. Thres horses in front of him, almost on a line, and no Jockey would give . way and let him through. Then Sherry saw him start a darini move saw mm puu out and start around those lead horses entered the stretch a move no jockey would make unless he Knew ne was on a powerful stretch runner. A wild roar went up from the stands Sun Halo wu still a half length In front The third horse was dropping back, the chestnut wu running steadily but a long hot, Pepper Boy, wu coming like a house afire on the outside. He was burning up the track! Pepper Boy wu alongside the chestnut Now the black wu gain ing on Sun Halo. The favorite did he swerve then? Another roar from the stands Pepper Boy wu coming up to Sun Halo the chest nut wu put of it now Pepper Boy was looking Sun Halo In the eye and only a furlong to go! "Look at the grayl Look at htm coming!" Someone near Sherry shouted. For from the pack of horses a gray No. 4 on his sad dle blanket Gray Star on the program wu shooting forward with reserve speed. Another stretch runner. The favorite, Sun Halo, waa done for; but Gray Star was com ing on with a mighty bunt of speed. Pepper Boy had left Sun Halo behind but Gray Star was coming up fast outside of Pepper Boy now he was at Pepper Boy's tail now at his saddle blanket now at his neck. In that last 10 yards Sherry Bond saw Gray Star's rider lash down with his whip aw Gray Star's white nose shoot forward saw Madden jerk up his colt's head now the noses were on a line no, she'd swear Pepper Boy's nose wu in front The black and the gray swept under the wire together. Behind them thundered in the beaten field. . . e e CAM gathered up his blanket; he had thrown it on the ground in his excitement "Looks like we win sure. Miss Sherry," he said, hopefully, u they walked toward the finish point As Sherry and her groom reached the track, horses were jogging back to the finish line jockeys were dismounting, taking off saddles and weighing out The beaten ones were always first back. Generally the winner took a couple of furlongs to slow down and stop in. Today it seemed u if Pepper Boy would never stop,' but he did at last There he was at the head of the backstretch. Sherry crossed the track with Sam, then the groom went out to meet the colt Madden didn t stop among the other horses, he rode straight for the winner's circle then reined In abruptly as a shout went up from the stands and a guard waved him back. The winner's number was going up at last and the winner was Gray Star.
