Buster. Anyway, he was the first
who had said so. Those words of
sympathy were very pleasant to
Buster Bear.
But timid little Whitefoot, fright
ened by his own boldness in talking
to Buster Bear, remained hidden
for long time. He didn't even dare
poke his head out to see what had
become of Buster. After awhile
Buster grew sleepy. Yes, sir, that
is just what happened. You see,
that bed of soft pine needles was
so very comfortable and the day was
so very warm that almost without
knowing it Buster slipped away into
dreamland.
Now Buster was lying stretched
out on his side and the sore paw

and by Whitefoot made up his mind
that Buster Bear must have gone
on long before. He crept up toward
the little round doorway. AS he
drew near he heard sounds that
made him stop short and then run
back little way. You know how
very timid Whitefoot is. Presently
he stole up his hallway once more.
This time when he heard the queer
sounds he didn't run. He stopped
and listened. Then something al
most like a grin crept over White
foot's sharp little face. Such sounds
as those could be made only by some
one who was fast asleep.
When Whitefoot reached the en-
Evening star., 1939-06-08

trance and looked out, there, right
in front of him, lay Buster Bear
fast asleep. At first, Whitefoot was
tempted to slip out and run away
to another of his hiding places.
Then his sharp little eyes saw
almost in front of his very nose
Buster Bears sore foot with the
end of Prickly Porky's little spear
just showing in the middle of the
sore place. A daring thought popped
into Whitefoot's head. It was such
a daring thought that it actually
made him jump with fright. What
was it? 1t was that here was a
chance for him 70 pull that little
spear out of Busters foot. Do you
wonder that such thought fright
ened him2 I don't.

tried to catch Whitefoot. Sometimes
when he had had nothing else to do
he had watched, as he was watching
now, little hole in which White
foot had disappeared. He had
watched hoping that Whitefoot
would come out and be caught. Now
as he lay there looking at that little
hole from which Whitefoot's bright
little eyes had snapped at him so
short a time before, Buster was
actually hoping that Whitefoot
would come out, not that he might
furnish Buster with a bite to eat,
but that he might talk to Buster
some more. You see, Whitefoot was

fought and carried on until he sent
one of the men to the hospital with
some broken bones. Then he fell
sick. developed lockjaw and came
close to being destroyed. However
the veterinarians pulled him
through and today he's the picture
of health. Randle almost sold him
last fall, but at the last minute
decided that blue ribbons looked
better than greenbacks on the wall
and called it off.
Another great favorite at Ban
nockburn is little filly whose pres
ent claim to fame rests with her
blood lines. She's a full sister to
Esposa, one of the greatest race
mares of the present century. Ran
die bought her at William Ziegler 6
place near Middleburg, when she
was a weanling. His only concern
right now is whether or not she will
grow up. but she certainly makes
up in quality what she lacks in
quantity.
Much is expected of a 3-year-old
chestnut colt which was imported
from Ireland when a yearling. He
made his debut in the show ring
game a successful one when he won
lead-in class at Warrenton two
years ago and since then has been
defeated but once in five other SINH
lar clashes. He's shown plenty of
promise in schooling sessions and
soon will be asked to show his stuff
in jumping competition. His name
is Randle's Chief.
Besides being known for their
winning form, Randle's horses are
noted for their splendid conforma-
ton. All are we'll fortified with
plenty of good solid flesh and always
are groomed to the minute. This is
due to the care with which Randle
selects his staff, all of the help being

Expert Assistance.
Two men long recognized as the
finest riders in the sport assist Ran
die with the riding end of the game.
They are Bobby Robey and Blakely
Lodge, and no little credit for the
stables success can be attributed to
their ability. Both are past masters
at making a horse perform to best
advantage.
The stable will send several horses
down to the Wilmington IN. c.
show scheduled for the 14th and
18th and on the way back will prob
ably stop off at a couple of small
shows down around that section.
Then they will take in the Arlington
Hall (Va) show, then head north
for Atlantic City, Devon, Pa, and
finally back here for the big Ma
tional Capital show in June. And
any one who has looked over the
performers Randle is ready to show
won't doubt that he'll win his share
of the ribbons.
