BAD GEORGE!
Continued from preceding pose

lead on her. Then, for the first time IN
her memory, Jeb's horse refused a
four-foot fence 1t almost looked as
though Jeb had lost his nerve and had
reined in Soldier Boy. Valerie closed
her eyes and put Pompey at the bar
rier. Her head jerked back and for
ward. They we're over.
She reined in Pompey at the tree
and called soothingly to George.
Meanwhile Jeb found a gate and rode
through. Hes mine. she said fercely.
Jeb chuckled. always knew you
could put up a good ride if you had to.
I'm not going to hurt George. Never
intended to. Just wanted to see what
sort of stuff you had. Matter of fact
I'm very fond of George. Gave me
the best run today have ever had
He called the dogs to heel and
started them home with the whipper-
in. They slouched away sullenly. while
George sharpened his claws trium-
phantly on the tree.
Matter of fact" Jeb went on hesi-
tantly, "often said to myself, there's
girl would make fine wife"
She said weakly. There you go
talking to yourself again. What am
supposed to do, eavesdrop"
With an effort he spoke directly to
her. "What would you think. uh. of
sort ofriding through life together"
She nodded and smiled. a trifle
sadly. After today he would expect her
to be up front at every meet. She
ought to make deal right now for
self-determination Riding through life
together would be grand II if it were
on. say, bicycle built for two.
But she couldn't summon strength
to make a stand. She was going to let
him get away with it. He looked SO
lean and strong and masterful while
she felt weak inside. If if only
something would happen to make her
feel masterful while Jeb looked
weak Then she sighed happily.
Everything was going to be all right.
Because George had come down from
the tree and had started. purring,
to twine himself around the legs of
Soldier Boy.
The End
