He had come to rely more and more on his sprightly deputy, till now, virtual county leader and his party's candidate, Shelby, double-weighted, prepared to wage the battle of his life. The demands upon his time were incessant.
Double-weighted thus, the horse did not run so well as before. Considine was frequently obliged to check his pace and look back. The stern frown on the Dutchman's brow had now mingled with it a slightly troubled look. "Go on. I'll follow immediately," said Considine as he reined in. "Don't be foolhardy," cried Hans, with an anxious look as he shot past.
Still they did not lose confidence, but pressed persistently on. "Our horses are fresh and good," said Victor as they reined in to a gentle trot on the brow of a knoll to rest for a few minutes, "and Petawanaquat's horse, whether good or bad, is double-weighted although, to be sure, Tony is not heavy."
As they went along at racing speed, with more than a dozen miles of wilderness to traverse, and death behind them, Private King of the Hussars fell from his horse wounded. Captain Gregorie came up with him, stopped, and took the wounded man up behind him. It was a generous but desperate act, for what could be expected of a double-weighted horse in such a region and with such a race before it?
Then double-weighted, a pack on his back, a form in his arms, he came on, his blood-red eyes searching almost sightlessly the faces of the waiting, stolid, grease-smeared men, his thick voice drooling over bloody lips: "Somebody take her get her into the bunk cars. She's given out. I'm I'm all right. Take care of her. I've got to go on to Tollifer!"
