no horse swifter than he was. And here
Oray Prince had pawed him when lie
was going his very fastest.
'"Vou can't do It again 1 You have

to Gray Prince. 'I'll show you my heels
In the next race, and when wo get home
I'll kick you good for daring to run in

"Gray Prlnco Ju wrinkled up his
nose and grlnnf d. So did Shep and
Lady Ann. for they were sure now that
Gray Prince could beat Romany Rye any
time they raced. ..,,. i
"Dut as the horse were being led to
the starting place for the second race a
etrango thing happened Gray Pj.1"0

little limp, but with every stop t grew
worse. ' Bv the time they reached the

called all the horses to ths Btartlng
""Gray Prlnco can't run in this race.
He Is too lame.' they said. The race
must bo run without him.
That pleased the town oik,
, wanted their own horses to win. na
pleased Romany Rye. The gypsy Whs
Sorse was glad Gray Prince was out of
the race. But he couldn't help taunting
his lame rival. . . . .j
" 'Huh, you're not lame.' he sneered
Tou're afraid of getting beaten by me.
"Toil may be sure that my Parents.
Shep, the sheep dog, and Lady Anne, the

"But when they went to Gray Prince
to comfort him he Just winked at .them.
"Remember my circus trick, he

Then they knew what he had meant
when he told them before not to worry.
" 'You're Just pretending to be lame?
asked Shep. Gray Prince nodded his
head. 'Are you afraid of Romany Rye?
asked mother. Gray Prince grinned.
"No. but winning these races doesn t

It is. Romany Rye will be the one who
"My father and mother thought that
was very clever or oray rnnce, anu
they. too. only grinned at Romany Rye s
boasts and sneers when he came back
to the ktvosv camn after beating the
town horses. He had been forced to race
very hard to win anu it was piain 10
k n that ha was wearv.
"Aa for Gray Prince, he was fresh
and eager for the long flight that was
to carry littlo Phil back to his father
and mother. He goi over nis lameness
In a hurry as soon as the races were
over."
Nltrht waa falllne when Gray Prince

"Gray Prlnco had picked out that
time, for little Phil usually took a. ride
before folnr to bed. In 'this way he
mini, n little easier the ache In his
heart ttat always came as he thought
of his own dear mother's good-night kiss
as she used to tuck mm into nia Bed
at home.
"I told you, didn't I. that little Phil
and I were chumeT Well, what do you
think he did. that night? He tucked
me under his arm before he climbed the
tree to mount Gray Prince, and when
his chubby, squirmy body dropped on
the horses back, thero I was, too
scared half to death.
"Little Phil put me on behind him,
and I hung tight to his shirt with my
teeth. That waa the only way I could
.keep from Jouncing off.
"At first my parents, Shep, the sheep
dor. and Lady Ann, the collie, were wor
ried to seo me there. Then thev were
glad.
'"We must go along to help Gray
Prince find little Phil's home,' barked
Lady Ann. The puppy couldn't run as
fact as we will have to go and so It
will be fine for him to rldo Gray Prince
with little Phil.'
"I didn't want to be left behind, cither,
but I tell you It was awfully Jouncy on
mm Dig norsea Dacx.
"Gray Prlnco pretended ho waa only
going to give little Phil a ride around
the camp as usual. Gradually he edged
to the outskirts of the camp, then away
he went down the road.
"At once thera were loud shouts from
the gypsies. Guards down the road
heard the shouts and leaped Into the
highway, waving their arms to atop
Gray Prince. But Gray Prince thun
dered on. The guards, as they caw ho
wasn't going to Btop, stretched a rope
across the road and held It faat
Gray Prlnoe reached the rope and
enddenly I felt aa though I had been
shot Into the air by an explosion. It
waa Gray Prlnco taking a mighty jump
a Jump that carried him high over
the ropo stretched to stop him. The
next moment he was galloping along the
Pn road at the speed of a train.
"Behind came the gypsies. It had
J! them only a moment to mount
tnelr horses. In the lead was Romany

on hla back. Romany Rye was partly
