And, besides, they were sure to be in no condition for a hot final sprint, in case of keen competition. So Hugh, having registered as required at two booths on the way, and thus learned the order in which the trio ahead of him seemed to be running, finally arrived at the sunken quarry road.
Why, he has gone with the baby over to the lion cage, where they are feeding the lions. Don't you see him holding the baby upon his shoulder?" By ginger, I never saw two people sprint the way they did, 'cause I guess they thought pa was sure crazy, and would give the baby to the lions.
"Let him set in the draught," she thought. "He don't look as if he'd ever been het up in his life." With astonishing swiftness her balloon-like form took on an extra sprint. The man became aware of her object and they arrived at the coveted haven nearly simultaneously. Miss Mehitable's umbrella decided the victory.
Recovering from the shock of surprise, I followed him, but he was well ahead of me, and making for some vaguely seen objects moving against the lights of the roadway. Another railing was vaulted, and the corner of a second, triangular grass patch crossed at a hot sprint. We were twenty yards from the road when the sound of a starting motor broke the silence.
"You're all out of condition," he announced in even tones to Merle. "A little sprint like that shouldn't get your wind." Merle's look of sunny welcome faded to one of chagrin. He fell back in his chair. He was annoyed. "You saw that disgraceful outbreak, then?" "I was in luck to-night."

For a moment, the lad squatted down to watch them. He had been there but a short time when a voice at his side startled him, and Tad was about to take a fresh sprint when he realized that it was not the voice of a savage. "Young man, you'd better light out of here while you've got the chance," said the stranger.
Besides, did you happen to see Drake's sprint? 'Jolly good one. 'I know, but look how late he started for it. Thomson crammed on the pace directly he got into the straight. Drake only began to put it on when he got to the Pav. Even then he wasn't far behind at the tape. 'No. Well, I'm not plunging either way. Ought to be a good race. 'Rather.
We knew that the rare atmosphere of that high altitude often made distances deceiving, and determined to make due allowances. Having crossed the river and being ready for a sprint, each made a guess of the distance to the foot of the rock ridge. The estimates varied from two hundred yards to three hundred. Off we went, counting paces.
