little, and roar Of voices exclaimed:
"She's gaining on him" When they
glidcd past the rocks 1rnkct was at st.
Julcn's wheel. Then another cry arose,
"Thc mare is coming ngAin!" But the up.

which was reached in lal0, st. Julien had

was ngan on even terms with the veteran.
A roar Of eXliltation began to break out
from thousands Of admirers Of the mare,
but II died away to nurmur when the
