filled with water, having as stiff wooden
rail about four feet high at the near side.
On they came, the mare little ahead,
and Dwyer's horse laboring few yards
behind. Every eye was fixed upon my
grandfather. On he came, the mare
sweeping over the ground with long
smooth strides, and as easily as if she
was only being "breathed" by her groom.
As she came close to the jump, she ele-
vaied her ears. while her eyes dilated
aud flashed like carbuncles. My grand
father settled in his saddle, and prepared
himselftolift her well over, while the little
ballifF stuck on like limpet TO a rock.
But the splendid animal wanted no lifting.
She swept along with smooth steady
Estride, and as she came close to the leap,
she fell back for an instant on her haunch
es to gather herself for The spring, then
with one tremendous effort shot over.
A cry Of admiration ran through the
crowd. She had cleared the off edge Of
the jump by seven clear feet! Five sec
onds more, and my grandfather had shot
past the winning post, amid the cheers
of five thousand people. He gained the
race, paid his debt TO Darcy and Burke
with the winnings, and there were nc
such heroes or heroines thai night in the
country as Little Ginger and his brown
mare, Let-me- -alone-before- e-the-people.
