CHAPTER III.

"HE next morning the sun rose
dazzling In its radiance above
the peaks of Cragenstone,
shedding luster over the VII
lage. On the Maryland farm all nature
was astir. Thrifty robins dotted the
green grass, conspicuously displaying
their red breasts as they sought their
morning meal in the soft damp earth,
larks thrilled gayly, and the nightingale
poured forth its sweet high notes IN
joyous exaltation.
Yellow crocus flowers lifted their
faces timidly to the sun, and gentle
breezes stirred the branches OF the
trees. Now were heard the voices OF
the men and maids as they MIXED the
cows or drove them out to pasture, and
the noisy bleating Of the sheep and
lambs, budding together and running
out through the open gates to spread
themselves over the fields, added in
creaslng activity to the early morning
scene.

The sun had reached higher point

LEXINGTON, KY. Oct. 3.-Thc
$4,000 futurity for three-year.olds
featured in the opening of the thirty.
third annual meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association
today, ana the famous contest was a
decided upset to the talent.
Before the race Susie N, sold ut $50
to $50 Tor the field, and after she had
taken the first heat in comparatively
easy fashion, she sold at $50 to the
iields SIG, but Miss Adbcll, com
parativc outsider in the betting, took
the next three heats.
The third heat was the one which
killed Susie Ms chance ana proved
the splendid condition of Miss Adj.
bell. The two raced like Il team for
the first half, travelling the second
quarter in 81 Ia seconds. 1t was too
fast for Susie n. and she dropped
back beaten. Miss Adbell came on
and won and took the next heat and
race comparatively without contest.
The Tennessee stake was won easily
in the sixth heat by Maud Kcswicli,
the second choice. In winning the
second heat in BOB 81, she broke
the record for the event.
