This had been selected by the boys Immediately upon their, arrival home from school this summer as Thunderheads practice and trial ground. There was a natural grandstand to one aide, a peak of craggy rock apearing up. They had outlined the oval track by aettlng post at the curves. These posts must understand he was to run outside of, not in. Sometimes he did, sometime he did not. Not that he did not understand! They had painted a broad band of white acrosa the courie at the finish, just in front of the grandstand and here Thunderhead had run many a mile, wondering, no doubt, where waa the aense in It Running to shelter In a storm running away from enemies and dangerous places just even running with his own band for fun and exercise on the Saddle Back this could be understoood. But running on the flat range, often at top speed, around and around those posts, with a small demon yelling on top of him and another jumping up and down on the rock this was Incomprehensible. The air was fresh after the storm, the range green and dustless. Nell was in white linen Jodhpurs and white silk shirt with the sleeves rolled up on her slender brown arms. Her face was without care or worry, like a childs when a picnic is ahead. She sat beside Sargent In his car, pointing out to him the way to the track, for it could not be reached by any of the roads on the ranch. In the back of the car was Howard with the bucket of oats. Just before they had started they had heard a yell, and Ken came running with a bucket half full of oats and a halter rope. His face showed embarrassment as he apologized for Thunderhead and stuck the bucket in the car. Just in case In case he got away or something and I had trouble in getting him back. said Sargent, as they drove So, along, he gets awdy, does he?
