be meted out to him.
Walking oyer to the fence he beckon-

to him. He was mounted on far the

Look here. Niger" said the Colonel
sternly, Everything depends upon our

II you win this gang will ynch me. and
II they catch you pulling they'll hang
you right over there on that tree. But
you've got to lose. You must manage
to get off last and plug along to the

while the other riders were urging their
mounts for all they were worth.
At the quarter Little Flossie moved Up
a notch. One by one she gained on the
others and passed them until she was
we'll up in the bunch. The filly was not
a shirker and always did her level best.
1t was clear that she Outclassed the
others as far as stick candy does corn
