began and Bob White showed fine
form. He was now third in the race
and perhaps half.a dozen lengths be-
hind Cremona.
Could he make it? If he could, he
would have to make it soon, for Gre
mona was actually increasing his
lead. Those. nearest the horses at
the turn said afterward that Bob
White was painting like the crock he
was. At any rate, Bob White began
to lag behind. He fell to- the rear
again as the horses reached the final
turn.
- Now was>the time when the last
gallant burst would have to be made.
It was at this last turn that reputa-
tons were gained and lost. Cremona
suddenly shot out like an arrow. And
the horses behind him passed, a jun
BILE Of heavihg TANKS and tossing
names, behind him. Yells rent the
air. The mob was going mad with
excitement.
But what of Bob White? In place
Of the expected sensational burst of
speed which was to gain him the rep
utation of a Coniston, he stopped
dead, quiVered and rolled over on his
back.
'Deadw shouted the, governor.
No. Bob White, tired Of the race,
put his legs in the air like a kitten,
and, as Jones in vain urged him to
rise, he calmly began to take a dust
bath. The creature had no more
spirit in him than was to be expected
of a drivers hack.
And amid thunderous cheers from
the few who had backed him and
curses from those who had backed
Bob White, Cremona shot past the
judges post an easy winner.
Jones disappeared very quickly in
the crowd that surged toward the
grandstand. 1t was bent on mischief
and some among it would not have
at murder. Where was

on the deserted meadows. Or, rath-
er, he would be encountered leading
Bob White back, sweating, though
nobody had even seen Bob White put
through his PAGES.
. The interest became intense when
it was known that the white horse
had been entered in the races. Hard
wicke was reported to have Dor
rowed thousands to place on his en-
try. He sprUced up and began to look
the ,natty racing man Of yore. A
week before the races the odds
against Bob White were 10 to 1. The
odds against the favorite Cremona,
were 4 to 1. The day before the
races Bob White was easily the first
favorite and the betting was II to l.
against Cremona.
The day of the races .dawned. The
multitude that packed the grand
stand went wild as Bob White ap-
peared among the entries, ridden by
Jones himself, wearing his masters
old colors of blue and gold. Hard
wicke himself was in grandstand be-
side Col Simms, the owner Of Gre
mona, and it was noted that his face
was the brighter Of the two by far.
It was three times round the track
for the race. The horses started at
the instant the gate went up. The
crowd went wild with excitement.
Bob White dashed away, putting up
a pretty fast pace.
But Cremona speedily began to,
overhaul him. Then he was in the
lead and another and another horse |
overlook Bob White until Hard |
wicke's entry was tagging along at |
the tail of the procession. When the |
first round was made Bob White was
well in the,rear; but Jones was hold |
ing him, there was no doubt OF that. |
