HAROLD CRASHED CHETsoS BY THE LEG.
1t. He knew that he had one chance
in a hundred of accomplishing it. With
a steady hand he steered his craft
straight for the dismantled Snow
Bunting, holding the nose OF the Ice
King so firmly and steadily toward
the point that a collision seemed IN
evitable A wayer of hairs breadth
might precipitate an accident which
would ruin ALL The skill of a man
with iron nerves was required to avoid
an accident.
When the PROV of the Ice King was
within half an inch of the wreck 1t
veered sharply to the left, swinging
the craft around so fercely that the
runners actually became entangled in
some of the rigging. But the sharp,
steel shod runners cut the small ropes
in two and spun on their way over the
surface of smooth ice. In that brief
instant. however, Harold had stretched
forth a hand and grasped Chetson 10y
the leg. There was u quick gasp, a

Harold chung TO the leg of Chetson
and slowly pulled him toward the
yacht In the sudden change Of af-
fairs the big wolf had been shaken
from his hold and was now vainy
running In pursuit OF his disappearing
prey. But not so the two other big
wolves that had boldly challenged the
approaching craft. They had leaped
upon ii as the yacht swept past them.
There they stood In the dim light,
covering with fear and dread. on the
forward part Of the yacht The unex-
pected speed which carried them along
had robbed them OF all anger aud
spirit They crouched closely TO the
boat. uttering low whines and snarls,
but not daring to move forward or
jump from the flying craft
When Chetson was securely pulled
on the Ice King, Harold saw his two
passengers In the front, and for mo-
ment he thought they were ready to
spring upon them. But when he saw
their craven fear he laughed.
Look. Chetson! Isn't that sight
worth all our danger? Did you ever
see such frightened animals?"
In spite of his wounds Chetson join
ed in the laugh, but the noise made by
them brought matters TO u sudden eli
max. Both wolves darted from their
I perch and fell headlong on the ice,
where they rolled over and over while
the ice yacht sped on through the dark
ness at fifty miles an hour.
They'll never board another ice
yacht, I'll bet" was Harold's comment.
Not unless they 60 back and chew
up my wrecked one" replied Chetson.
ITS pretty sad wreck, and
Probably not SO bad as you think.

10 go home with me tonight, and In the
morning III help you rig it up again"
With the second race thus happily
ended, the bitterness between them
was forgotten, and later, when Harold
finished rigging up the Snow Bunting
Chetson insisted upon sending work
men to make the addition to his home
as fair payment in return. AS for
the next cup race-well, they're both
looking forward to 1t this winter.

winter in his work and in the end
caused him endless worry and loss Of
time and labor
But, on the other hand, the need Of
the 500 in cash offered by the COM
mittee In charge Of the races was i'm
perative, and Harold had counted 50
confidently on it that he had, fgura-
lively spanking, already spent it. The
addition to the humble home which he
and his aged mother occupied on the
banks Of the Upper river had been
planned and talked about for year.
This addition was needed to keep out
the cold and to make life more COM
Portable for the inmates.
One Of the judges appeared at this
moment and interrupted his train Of
bitter thoughts. III you come down
next year with yacht you'll certain

was impossible. You had the right of

"Thank you" answered Harold,
touched By the words. And I'll try
to come back next year with the same
yacht improved little in speed"
Then, gathering his few things to-
gether, he started off ON his homeward
trip 1t was long run up the river,
and night was coming on. But the
wind was favorable and blowing a
steady breeze. Ahead of him were a
dozen other boats heading up stream,
too, all bound for home. The Ice King
brought up the rear of the pretty pro-
cession.
In half an hour Harold had passed
all the boats in the procession except
one. This craft was so far ahead that
he doubted if it had been in the races.
