The stallion went up onto his hind
legs. +.
Ken, standing close against the
fence in front Of the grandstand,
leaned down and thrust his head be-
tween the bars. The blood came UP
into his face as he saw the fight
Thunderhead was putting up. The
field was way ahead already, Stag
horn and Bravura, the two likeliest
winners, running in the lead, FIVE 9TH
ers punched against the rail behind
them, and three outclassed contend
ers trailing hopelessly. Thunderhead
stood in the same place, whirling
and plunging. Dickson dashed him
numerically, and, as always, the
fury engendered in the horse by this
conflict mounted and finally explod-
ed, releasing him from the complex
of his inhibitions and fiinging him
into his smooth running gait.
Ken Strengthened up, drenched in
the sweat of relief. But the field was
already sweeping around the turn
into the back stretch. The grand
stand fell into a sudden breath-hold-
ing silence as the white stallion hit
his pace, running, as it always
seemed with Thunderhead, in the
air, propelled by one ightning-quick
hoof-thrust after the other, the un-
believable power of which kept him
HURTING forward at a speed which
was rapidly diminishing the distance
between himself and the rest of the
field.
Dickson rode with mouth open and
q look Of dumb amazement, and as
Ken glanced around him, he saw
this expression mirrored on hum
dred faces.
The horses swept around the
track.
Thunderhead passed the tail-end-
ers, gradually overlook the next
group and at the head Of the home
stretch passed them too. At that,
the grandstand came out of its stu
por and low, sustained sound burst
from it. Thunderhead was pulling
up on the leaders, then was abreast
of them, then passed them. At this,
the grandstand rose, swayed, and
burst into a roar, fiuttering hands
and programs and hats.
Thunderhead wavered and stopped,

sharply pricked ears turned nerv-

try, why it's up to you'll"
SIS 1t, really, dad?"
'Sure it is" But there was a
sharp, contemptuous look in Rob's
eyes. ''Make your choicel" He
leaned back and took out his pipe
and lit it, then looked around as If
he had no further interest In the SUBJ
ject.
The decision leaped up in Ken,
ready-made. He said, suddenly,
Hell run. And he'll win"
The words went through Rob like
the twang Of a string and caused
him the emotion he always felt when
one of his boys took stride toward
manhood.
His hand came down on Ken's arm
and squeezed it. The other hand
reached for his hat. "Come on, sonl
Well 60 out and see to getting Thun-
derhead's shoes changed"
They walked out to the stables to-
gether, and If anything more had
been necessary to crystalize Ken's
determination, it was the remark his
father made as they reached Thun-
derhead's stall. "Of course, Ken, II
he doesn't win, and il we have to
take him back, you realize ] can't
have him around the ranch any
more. I'll have to sell him for any,
thing I can get-and that means
gelding him first"
Ken came to a dead stop. "But
dadl I'd get him off the ranch.
He'd 90 back to his valley!"
"But he wouldn't stay" said Rob
simply, land sooner or later he'd
get in fight with Banner-and, well
you know what that means. You
saw"
Thunderhead did not like Dickson,
and came out of the stall fighting.
The rest of the field were off and
away on the two-mile race while
Dickson was still trying to shake
the bit out of Thunderhead's teeth
and head him in the right direction.
