The crowd, sensing the horse was conquered, cheered, but Len Henley did not seem to notice the ovation. Mary had expected he might wave his hat, triumphantly; she saw, instead, that he was weaving a little in the saddle, that his head hung low, like Mad Hatters. It was time to dismount now but he did not seem to realize this until with a supreme effort the horse reared. He seemed to balance a moment on his hind legs too late Len realized it was time to leave him. He was sliding down Mad Hatters withers as the horse went over backward. Len fell clear. Evidently the fall stunned Mad Hatter and he lay supine a few seconds, then turned over and his hind legs lay across Len Henleys body; he commenced kicking and scrambling awkwardly to regain his feet and Mary saw all four feet strike the fallen rider repeatedly. The force of the blows rolled Len over on his face and out of range. He was lying very still when the horse got up and walked away, Mary climbed over the front of the box, clung a moment at arms length and dropped five feet into the deep dust below. She landed on her feet and ran to Len, knelt, got her arms under him and lifted him until his shoulders rested across her knee and her left arm supported his head.

The following morning Len was fully conscious and was declared out of danger, whereupon, for the first time since his son had been injured, Hamilton Henleys thoughts returned to business particularly unfinished business. The rebuff he had suffered from Ma Burdan had not in the least ruffled him. because he understood the reason back of it; indeed, the thought had occurred to him at the time that he had been too precipitate. He should have given her time to cool off, for he knew Ma was peppery and he knew, too, Pa was bound to feel badly at having been refused a helping hand and would unload his grief on sympathetic Ma.
