CHAPTER Xl.—Continued.
"We are ready!" ealled Jean gayly
"What in the world—" Helen
paused at sight of the swathed figure.
"Are you cold, Mr. Bpeed?"
"Climb on your horses and get a
start,'.' panted the burly trainer; "he's
Coin' to race you ten miles."
"I'm going to do nothing of the
sort. I'm going to—"
But Glass jerked him violently, cry
ing:
"And no talkln' to gals, neither
You're tralnin'. Now, get a move!"
Speed halted stubbornly.
"Hit her up, Wally! G'watK now—
faster! * No loafing. 80, or I'll wallop
you!" Nor did he cease until they
both paused from exhaustion. Even
then he would not allow his charge to
do more than regain his breath be
fore urging him onward.
"See here," Wally stormed at last,
""what's the use? I can't—"
"What's the use? That's the use!"
Class pointed to the north, where a
lone horseman was watching them
from a knoll. "D'you know who that
UV
The rider waa amall and stoop
shouldered.
"Willie!"
"That s who."
"He's following us!"
With knee* trembling beneath him
Speed jogged feebly on down the road.
Class puffing at his heels.
When, after covering five miles,
they Anally returned to the Flying
Heart, it was with difficulty that they
could drag one foot after another.
Wally Speed was drenched with per
spiration, and Glass resembled noth
ing so much as a steaming pudding;
rivulets of sweat ran down his neck,
his face was purple, his Hps svollen.
"Y-you'U have-r-to run alone—this
afternoon," panted the tormentcr.
"This afternoon? Haven't I,„jrjin
•nough for—one day?" the victim
pleaded. "Glass, old man, I —l'm all
• \ in, I tell you; I'm ready to die."
"Got to —fry off some more—leaf
lard," declared the trainer with vul
garity. He lumbered into the cook
house, radiating heat waves, puffing
like a traction-engine, while his com
panion staggered to the gymnasium,
and tank Into a chair. A moment
later he appeared with two bottles of
beer, one glued to hla lips. Both were
evidently ice cold, judging from the
tog that covered them.
Speed rose with a cry.
» "Gee! That looks good!"
But the other, thrusting him aalde
without removing the neck of the
bottle from his lips, gurgled:
"No boose, Wally! You're tralnln!"
"But I'm thirsty!" shouted the ath
lete, laying hands upon the full bottle,
and trying to wrench H free.
"Have a little sense. If you're
thirsty hit the sink." Glass still main
tained hla hold, mumbling Indistinct
ly: "Water's the worst thing in the
world. Wait! I'll get you some."
He stepped Into the bunk-room, to
« return an instant later with a cup half
toll. "Rinse out your mouth, and
dont swallow it all."
, . "All! There Isn't that much. Ugh!
It's lukewarm. I want a bucket of
lee-water —ice-water!"
"Nothing doing! I won't stand to
hare your eplctetua chilled."
"My what?"
"Never mind now. Off with them
clothes, and get under that shower. I
■uses It'll feel pretty good today."
•peed obeyed Instructions sullenly,
' while his trainer, reclining in the
eosy -corner, uncorked the second
bottle. Prom behind the blanket car
tains where the barrel stood, the for-
Iser demanded:
"What did yon meaa by saying I'd
live to ran again this afternoon?"
-Starts!" said glass, shortly.
"•tarts?"
"Fast work. We been loafing se
far; ye« got to get some ginger."
. -Bats! WbeTs the user
"No use at all. You couldn't out
run a steam-roller, but If you won't
duck out, I've got to do my best.. I'd
as lief die of a gunshot-wound ae
starve to death in the desert."
"Do you suppose we could run
away ?'*
"Could we!" Olass propped himself
eagerly upon one elbow. "Leave It to
me."
"No!" Wally resumed rubbing him
self down. "I can't leave without look
ing like a quitter. Fresno would get
her sure."
"What's the difference if you're a
straddle of a cloud with a gold guitar
in your lap?"
"Oh, they won't kill us."
"I tell you these cow-persoas is
desp'rate. If you stay her* and run
that race next Saturday, she'll tiptoe
up on Sunday and put a rose in your
hand, sure. I can see her now, all
tn black. Take it from me, Wally, tfe
ain't goln' to have no luck In this
thing."
"My dear fellow, the simplest way
out of the difficulty is for me to in
jure myself—"
"Here!" Glass hopped to hlB feet
and dove through the blankets. "None
of that! Have a little regard for me.
If you go lame It's my curtain."
All that day the trainer stayed close
to his charge, never allowing him out
of his sight, and when, late in the aft
ernoon, Speed rebelled at the espion
age, Olass merely shrugged his fat
shoulders.
"But I want to be alone—with her.
Can't you see?"
"I can, but I won't. Oo as far as
yotr like. I'll close my eyes."
"Or I'll close them for you!" The
lad scowled; his companion laughed
mirthlessly.
"Don't start nothln' like that—l'd
ruin you. Gals is bad for a man in
tralnin' anyhow."
"I suppose I'm not to see her—"
"You can see her, but I want to
hear what you say to her. No emo
tion till after this race, Wally."
"You're an Idiot! This whole affair
is preposterous—ridiculous."
"And yet it don't make us laugh,
does it?" Glass mocked.
"If these cowboys make me run
that race, they'll be sorry—mark my
words, they'll be sorry."
Speed lighted a cigarette and In
haled deeply, but only once. The
other lunged at him with a cry and
snatched It. "Give me that cigarette!"
"I've had enough of this foolish
ness," Wally stormed. "You are dis
charged!"
"I wish f was."
"You are!"
"Not!"
"I say you are fired!" Glass stared
at him. "Oh, I mean It! I won't be
bullied."
"Very well." Glass rose ponderous
ly. 'lll wise up that queen of jtturs,
Mr. Speed." JK
"You aren't going to talk
jar
"O* You Know Who That IsT"
Blaks? Wait!" Speed wilted miser
ably. "She mustn't know. I—l hire
you over again."
"Suit yourself."
"You aoe, don't you? My love for
Helen la the only aerlous thing I ever
experienced," said the boy. "I—can't
lose her. You're got to help me out."
Aad BO It waa agreed
That evening, when the clock
struck nine, J. Walllngfcrd Speed waa
rsady and willing to drag himself off
to bed. In aplte of the knowledge that
Fresno waa waiting to take his place
In the hammocl? He waa racked by
a thousand pains, his muscles ware
■ore, his back lame. He waa con
sumed by a thirst which Glass stoutly
refused to let blm quench, and poe
seesed by a fearful longing for a
anaoke. When be dosed off, regard
less of the snores from the bunk
boose adjoining, Berkeley Fresno's
musical tenor waa sounding In bis
ears.
It seemed to Speed that he &a#
barely closed hia eyes when he felt
a rough band abating blm, and beard
his trainer's voice calling. In a half
wHWper: "Come oa. Cull! Get up!"
When be turned over It was ealr
Is be shaken lata complete wakeful
"Hurry up, it's daylight!"
"Where?"
"Come, now, you got to run fly*
miles before bfeakfaat!" ,
Speed sat up with a groan. "If I
pun five miles," he said, "I won't want
any oreukfttat," snd he laid himself
down again gratefully—he «u very
sore—whereat his companion fairly
dragged him out of bed. As yet tha
room was black, although the windows
were grayed by the first faint streaks
of dawn. From the adjoining room
came a chorus of distress: snores of
every size, volume, and degree of in
tensity, from the last harrowing gasp
of strangulation to the bold trumpet-
Ings of a bull ntoose. There were
long-drawn sighs, groans of torture,
rumbling blasts. Speed shuddered.
"They sound like a troop of trained
sea-lions," he said.
"Don't wake 'em up. Here!" Olass
yawned widely, and tossed a bundle of
sweaters at his companion.
"Ugh! These clothes are all wet
and cold, and—lt feels like blood!"
but the mornln' dew."
\lt's perspiration."
'Hvell, a little sweat wou't hurt you."
"Nasty word." Speed yawned in
turn. "Perspiration! I can't wear wet
clothes," and would have crept back
Into hlB bed.
This time Glass deposited him upon
a stpol beside' the tab'e, and then
lighted a candle, by the slokly glare
of which he selected a pair o? running
shoes.
"Why d'dn't you leave me alone?"
grumbled the younger man. "The
only pleasure ( get Is In sleep—l for
get things then."
"Yew," retorted the form«r, sarcas
tically, "and you also seem to forget
that these are our last days among
the living. Saturday the big thing
comes off."
"Forget! I dreamed'about It!" The
boy sighed heavily. It was the hour
In which hope reaches Its lowest ebb
and vitality la weakest. He was very
cold and very miserable.
"You ain't got no edge on ma," the
other acknowledged, mournfully 'l'm
too young to die, and that'B a bat."
Suddenly the pandemonium In the
bunk-house was pierced by the bra
ren jangle of an alarm-clock, whereat
a sleepy voice cried:
"Cloudy, kill that clock!"
"The Indian ottered some Indistin
guishable epithet, and the next Instant
there came a crash as the offending
timepiece was hurled violently against
the wall.
In silence Glass shoved his unsteady
victim ahead of him out Into the dawn.
In the east the sun was rising amid
a riotous splendor. At any other tline,
under any other circumstances, Bpeed
could not have restrained his admira
tion, for the whole world was a glori
ous sparkling panoply of color Hut
to the stiff and wearied Eastern lad It
was all cruelly mocking. When he
halted listlessly to view Its beaAtfes
he was goaded forward, ever forward,
faster and faßter, until finally, aitoid
protests and sighs and compiainlog
joints, he broke into a heavy, flat-foot
ed Jog-trot that jolted the article
sense entirely out of him.

SSSSS Stover had more than
his customary shafe of trouble, for
they seemed pessimistic.
Carara, for instance, breathed a
Spanish oath as he combed his hair,
and when the foreman inquired the
reason, replied:
"I don' sleep good. I been t'lnk

Cloudy, whose toilet was ihuch less
Intricate, grunted from the shadows:
"I thought I heard that phonograph
all night."
"It was the Natif Son slngin' to hi*

No Sun Here.
In the valley of the Lyn, near L.yn
mouth. North Devon, there is a quaint
little hamlet called Middleham, where
for three months in the year the son
is not seen.
The cluster of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills so steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
jot rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.

If the day should be foggy or cloudy
so that It cannot be seen, there is

Jessie Woodrow Wilson Becomes
Bride of Francis Bowes Sayre
Francle B. Future Homa of the Sayree. Mr*. F. B. Sayre.
Eaat Room of White Houae.
Washington, Nov. 25.—1n the beau
tiful east room of the White House
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon Jessie
Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of
the president, was made the wife of
Francis Howes Sayre. Rev. Sylvester
Beach of Princeton, N. J., performed
the ceremony.
The entire affair was very simple,
as had been requested by the bride,
and the number of guests was rather
small —distressingly so to many per
sons in official and social circles of
Washington who had expected to re
oelve invitations but wore disappoint
ed.
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
eldest of the three daughters, acted
as maid of honor to her Bister, and
Miss Eleanor Randolph WllsoU, the
youngest, was one of the bridesmaids.
The three other bridesmaids were
jliss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Prince
ton, daughter of Prof. William U.
Scott; Miss Marjorie Brown of Atlan
ta. Pa., daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cous
in, Col. E. T. Brown, and Miss Mary
G. White of Baltimore, a college friend
of the bride.
Dr. Qrsnfell Is Best Man.
Mr. Sayre wan attended by his best
man, Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the fa
mous medical missionary to the fisher
men of the Labrador coast. The two
men have long been fast friends and
Mr. Sayre spent two summers help
ing Dr. Grenfell with his work.
The ushers were Charles E. Hughes,
Jr., Bon of Justice Hughes of the Su
preme court and a classmate of Mr.
Sayre In the Harvard law school; l»r
Gilbert Horax of Montclalr, N. J., who
was a classmate at Williams college
In 1909 and now lit Johns Hopkins uni
versity; Benjamin Burton of New
York city, and Dr. Scoville Clark of
Salem, Mass., who was Mr. Sayre's
companion In Labrador and Newfound
land.
Wedding Gown of Ivory Satin
The bride's gown waa of satin, of
a soft ivory tint, trimmed with beau
tiful lace, both old and rare. It was
made in New York and the women
connoisseurs declared that it wag a
masterpiece. The lingerie In the
trousseau is of the most dainty mate
rial and Is afll hand made. The maid
of honor and bridesmaids were beauti
fully gowned and all looked their best.
Coming right In the midst of the
chrysanthemum season, this was
made a chrysanthemum wedding and
that flower was used most profusely
In adorning the White House. As the
bride's favorite color is mauve,* that
was made the prevailing color in the
decorations. The east room, and in
deed all the rooms in the president's
mansion, were beautiful Indeed.
Depart on Their Honeymoon.
After the ceremony was completed
and the couple bad received the con
gratulations of the guests, refresh
ment* were served, and then Mr. and
Mrs. Sayre departed for their honey
moon. Their plans Include a visit to
the home of Miss Nevin, Mr. Sayre's
aunt, at Windsor Forges, near Church
to*vn, Pa., where they flrst met. After
January 1 they will live in Wllllams
town, Mass., for Mr. Sayre is to sever
his connection wl(h the office of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman In New York
and become assistant to Harry A. Gar
field, president 6t Williams oollege.
Real Test of Sympathy.
Anybody can sympathise with the
sufferings of a friend, but It requires a

the nature of a true individualist—to
sympathise with a friend's success. —

JESSIE'S WEDDING CAKE
Jessie Wilson's wedding cake
was a triumph of the pastry cook's
art. It was tivo and a half feet
tall, counting the white orchids
that were placed on top of it, and
weighed 136 pounds. The first
layer was four inches thick and 22
inches across. The cake contained
19 ingredients and its cost was
about |BOO. Over the body of ths
cake was molded a thick white
Icing scroll work, on its top was a
design for the initials of the bride
and groom, done In sliver, and
around the sides were lilies of. the
valley In white sugar. This dell
clous confection was distributed ir.
2,000 dainty white boxes tied with
s|tln ribbon and each of the proper
size to go under tire pollow of tht
recipient to bring dreams.
There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. It
Is known that these Included many
beautiful aud valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom and of their fam
ilies aiifl by admJrers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that of the latter being a diamond la
valllere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those win? were invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed In r.;Hny heartburnings. From the
house of representatives' circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Charnp Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Ciark, Marjory Leader Un
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs; Mann.
As might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police, would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure of the guests
and trying to obtain through the win
dows a glimpse of the doings within.
The police arrangements were admir
able and nothing happened, In the
White House or outside, to mar the
happy occasion.
The wedding of Mr. Sayre and Miss
Wilson was the thirteenth to be cele
brated In the White House, but the
bride has always considered 13 her
lucky number Instead of a boodoo.
There have been more than twenty
weddings In which either the bride or
groom resided In the White House,
and the last wedding ceremony per
formed there was the one which united
Alice Ro9fe4v£lt and Nicholas Long
worth. Today's event was much quiet
er than that one, and the guests not
nearly so numerous.
