Speed obeyed instructions sullenly, while his trainer, reclining in the cosey-corner, uncorked the second bottle. From behind the blanket curtains where the barrel stood, the former demanded: "What did you mean by saying I'd have to run again this afternoon?" "Starts!" said Glass, shortly. "Starts?" "Fast work. We been loafing so far; you got to get some ginger." "Rats! What's the use?"
It was perhaps a half-hour later that Helen Blake came tripping into the gymnasium, radiant, sparkling, her crisp white dress touched here and there with blue that matched her eyes, in her hands a sunshade, a novel, and a mysterious little bundle. "We were so sorry to lose you at breakfast," she began. Wally led her to the cosey-corner, and seated himself beside her.
Maybe I could run if I really tried." "Send yourself along, Kid. It won't harm you none." The speaker fanned himself, and took a seat in the cosey-corner. "Ah! Here they come, bearing gifts." Speed rose in pleased expectancy. "I wonder what it can be?" The three who had just left re-entered the room, carrying a tray- load of thick railroad crockery.
To be sure, it adjoined the bunk-room, where the cowboys slept, and there were no gymnastic appliances to give it character, but it was the only space available, and what it lacked in horizontal bars, dumb-bells, and Indian clubs it more than compensated for by a cosey-corner, a window-seat, and many cushions. Speed had expressed his delight with the idea, and agreed to wait for a glimpse of it.
"Those college flags give it just the right touch. And see the cosey-corner!" Glass regained his voice sufficiently to murmur, sarcastically, "Say, ain't this a swell-looking drum?" "We've used every bit of bunting on the ranch," said Jean. "See the Mexican shawls!" Mrs. Keap added. "And look," cried Miss Blake, "I brought you my prayer-rug!"
