(Contined from Page ~

dispose OF practically all his belongings
among them Chain Lightning, his
favorite race-horse. The noble animal
has been entered for the Midvale
Derby and is by all odds the best horse
in the field.
Daughter 10 Distraught.
Peggy, Major Pomeroy's only daugh-
ter, returns home from school in Wash
ington to discover this disastrous
state OF affairs, and to learn that the
horse she loved best in her fathers
stable has passed into the hands OF
Colonel Bradley, her fathers bitterest
enemy. A great many years before,
the two men had quarrleled over a
woman-Peggy's mother-and the
passing Of time had only served to
intensity the hatred they bore each
other.
Bet Last Money on Horse.
|. Major Pomeroy bets his last money
on Chain Lightning, as does Peggy,
for they are both confident OF the
horses ability. Then Major Pomeroy
falls sick and the only hope OF securing
medical attention lies in the success OF
Chain Lightning. Red Rollins, who is
scheduled to ride the horse in the forth
coming race, makes advances to Peggy.
She repulses him, whereupon he tells
her that, unless she yields herself to
him, he will deliberately "pulp' Chain
Lightning; whereas, if she accedes to
his request, he will let the horse win.
Girl Saved by Accident.
Peggy appears to agree to his propo-
sition and goes-as he believes-to
keep her compact with him. An ac-
cident to the vehicle in which they are
driving gives her opportunity to escape
from the odious bargain. Rollins per-
sues her and, apparently, has the girl
in his power, but she outwits him. His
greatest surprise, however, comes on
the day of the race, when Peggy, after
securing him under lock and key, dons
boys clothes and rides Chain Light
ming to victory!
Lifelong Enmity Overcome.
Major Pomeroy recovers and the
lifelong enmity between Colonel Brad
ley and him being patched up through
Peggy's efforts, the two old men give
their consent to Peggy's union with
Bob Bradley, the Coloneps nephew,
and the close. of this beautiful South
ern story shows all obstacles cleared
away with happy, sunlit future
stretching before the. young couple.
