Minkie
with
Fango,
the
new
Dog,
bounded
in
eager
pursuit,
but,
to
the
surprise
of
the
starters,
the
gap
grew
smaller.
The
Warhorse
was
losing
ground,
and
right
before
the
Grand
Stand
old
Minkie
turned
him,
and
a
cheer
went
up
from
the
dog-men,
for
all
knew
the
runners.
Within
fifty
yards
Fango
scored
a
turn,
and
the
race
was
right
back
to
the
start.
There
stood
Slyman
and
Mickey.
The
Rabbit
dodged,
the
Greyhounds
plunged;
Jack
could
not
get
away,
and
just
as
the
final
snap
seemed
near,
the
Warhorse
leaped
straight
for
Mickey,
and
in
an
instant
was
hidden
in
his
arms,
while
the
starter's
feet
flew
out
in
energetic
kicks
to
repel
the
furious
Dogs.
It
is
not
likely
that
the
Jack
knew
Mickey
for
a
friend;
he
only
yielded
to
the
old
instinct
to
fly
from
a
certain
enemy
to
a
neutral
or
a
possible
friend,
and,
as
luck
would
have
it,
he
had
wisely
leaped
and
well.
A
cheer
went
up
from
the
benches
as
Mickey
hurried
back
with
his
favorite.
But
the
dog-men
protested
"it
wasn't
a
fair
run--they
wanted
it
finished."
They
appealed
to
the
Steward.
He
had
backed
the
Jack
against
Fango.
He
was
sore
now,
and
ordered
a
new
race.
