been kept in training.
And he had a rider In hit day i
the colonel had been in a class by

"The breed's not running out, thank I

he said to himself as he pounded I
down the road, the skim of snow j

them and smiled. "Even anger can
make the < olonel lose his head," he
said "He's not going too fast at

Hetty murmured, tier face lightly j

Then she sat clear of him. They
were off—she would not hamper him.
It was enough that lie carried her;

too square a sport riot to forgive

It seemed a hopeless chance. The
colonel was a welterweight, but Sir
Arciiy was up to it. Then he was
older than Bonnyhell, likewise In
harder condition. Hhe had been ,
eased a bit—allowed to run at grass.!

Hetty's heart misgave her as sno re
called how often she had thus pam

least bit to pat the mare's Hank and
sh\ clearly :
"Bonn; -win for u^ this time, and
nobody shall ever ride you again." ;
Bonnyhell answered only with a
slightly lengthened stride. She had j
tound her feet and was going tree!
oyer the soft dirt fuad. Mir Archy I
had gained—they could hear the
< olonei shouting, hut the rushing air
tore and tattered the words past dis

"Don't let him catch us. Bonny!”
Hetty entreated.
And then truly Bonnyhell made as
though she understood—they had
reached a long moonlit level of road
—she lay down to it as though on
the course, and literally devoured :
space.
The colonel sayy it with u leaping
heart. Ills pride in the mare, In the
girl who had taken her In spite of
him, began to melt Ills wrath. After
all, it was Hetty who would have to
live yiith her husband — a long, long
life h. hoped It. would he. Alter all.
further, she had chosen a man—and
Joe Desha had a governor or so
among hie forebears. XIor.oy.-r,
Duval Harkway, in spite of his name,
showed little of the breed. The I
colonel rose In his stirrups, leaned |
far over Mir Archy » yvlthers, and
sent home the spurs, shouting the i

"Stop' You rascals will ruin the i

to Hetty—her arm was around him, !

They did go—II trifle late, to be
