This nine-lived notion of male supremacy in inheritance was rather reinforced than removed by the breeding of domestic animals in the still more recent past. Attention has been focused on a few great males. For example, the breed of American trotting horses all goes back to one sire Hambletonian 10.
Desperate things done to order, day or night, with care and thoroughness. Trot out your desperate thing and get me an axe. I'll do it." "Well," said Hogboom, "I don't know, but it seems to me that if one of us was to die maybe the Faculty would take a day off and we could go over to Hambletonian without getting cuts." "Fine scheme; get me a gun, Hogboom." "Do you prefer drowning or lynching?"
So Keg made a tour of Kiowa and Muggledorfer and Hambletonian and Ogallala colleges, lining up canvassers at a net profit of something like fifty dollars per head full or empty. When he blew in at the end of the year to spend Commencement week with us he was nothing short of an amateur Croesus. He bulged with wealth.
"It's no use," I said, "we can't tell." And I sat up. The two neither answered nor paid the slightest attention. No bacteriologist plodding in his eccentric orbit ever studied the outlines of a new-found germ with deeper or more painstaking care. Presently they began to compare their discoveries. "He was a Hambletonian," began Jud; "don't you see how long the shoe is from the toe to the cork?"
They had to enlarge the workhouse to take care of them, and four of our best football players were retired from circulation all through October. Think what that meant! The whole college went up, just before the game with Hambletonian, and knelt on the sidewalk before Judge Scroggs' house. He set the dog on us. Said afterwards he wished the dog had been larger and hadn't had his supper.
His voice was hard and heavy, and his ears were close to his big, plain Hambletonian head. "How old are you?" he said to the yellow horse. "Nigh thirteen, I guess." "Mean age; ugly age; I'm gettin' that way myself. How long hev ye been pawin' this firefanged stable-litter?" "If you mean my principles, I've held 'em sence I was three." "Mean age; ugly age; teeth give heaps o' trouble then.
I think it broke both of his engagements, and what between explaining to the Faculty and studying to make a good showing and redeem himself, he didn't have time to work up another before Commencement while the rest of us lived in mortal terror of exposure and didn't enjoy ourselves a bit all through May, though it was some comfort to reflect on what would have happened if the scheme had worked for Hambletonian beat us to a frazzle that afternoon.
They were the regular road-pair, bay with black points, full brothers, aged, sons of a Hambletonian sire and a Morgan dam. There were Nip and Tuck, seal-browns, rising six, brother and sister, Black Hawks by birth, perfectly matched, just finishing their education, and as handsome a pair as man could wish to find in a forty-mile drive.
We could afford to lose an oratorical contest it just meant no bonfire for another year but we had our hearts set on that track meet. We were up against our lifelong rivals Muggledorfer, the State Normal, Kiowa, Hambletonian, and all the rest of them. We had to win I don't know why. Beats all how many things you have to do in college that don't seem so absolutely necessary a few years afterward.
Lem Marks rode a curbed Hambletonian, and Stone was Woodford's blacksmith. Jud got up and waved his great hand towards the south country. "They're all ridin'," he said, "every mother's son of the gang. An' they know where we are." "With rings on their fingers, an' bells on their toes," gabbled Ump; "an' we know where they are."
