Then he began to rave at the fat-headed directors. Then he yelled that he would never coach another ball team so long as he lived. Ken followed Reddy out of the training-house and along the street. The fact that the sprinter did not say a word showed Ken he was understood, and he felt immeasurably grateful. They crossed the campus and entered College Hall, to climb the winding stairway.
He had always the reputation among his boy companions as a sprinter, and resolved to see whether this was a lost art with him. "So that's your game, is it?" exclaimed the outlaw. "It will go hard with me if I don't catch you. Stop, or it will be the worse for you!" But Ernest had no intention of giving up so soon. He only exerted himself the more.
You've got to go so fast for one thing I never was a sprinter bah!" he snorted "there's nothing in it. Life isn't a 'undred yards race. You miss all the flowers on the way at that pace. And what's the prize?" He glanced down contemptuously at his feet. "Worn-out boots. Yer boots wear out that's all." He looked round at the children, smiling wonderfully.
He thought ruefully that his speed as a sprinter would avail him little on ground like this; he had his revolver, but that would be useless against numbers; discovery would mean death. Amid so many obstructions his progress was terribly slow. It was seven o'clock when he started; when it occurred to him to look at his watch he was startled to find that two hours had passed.
Mott too had been exceedingly pleasant in all that he had said, and Will was almost beginning to feel that he had misjudged his companion, and that his reputation was worse than the fellow himself. They had now left the hillside road and were once more in the valley and not far from the village they were seeking. "I hear you're quite a fair sprinter," suggested Mott, as they proceeded.
He dropped his gun and put down the shore like a wild man, with Lonesome after him. I tried to foller, but my rheumatiz was too big a handicap; all I could do was yell. You never'd have picked out Todd for a sprinter not to look at him, you wouldn't but if he didn't beat the record for his class just then I'll eat my sou'wester.
Mac Strann could see the runner in a comparatively open space, racing like a trained sprinter, and he headed straight towards a wall of tossing horns. They were long-horns, and one sway of those lowered heads could drive the hard, sharp point through and through the body of a man.
Even chance could not let her alone at one of her worst moments. She walked faster and faster because she was afraid Tembarom would follow her, and in a few minutes she heard him splashing behind her, and then he was at her side, holding the umbrella over her head. "You're a good walker," he said, "but I'm a sprinter. I trained running after street cars and catching the 'L' in New York."
Taylor's performance undoubtedly stamps him as the premier 'cycle sprinter of the world, and, judging from the staying qualities he exhibited in his six days' ride in the Madison Square Garden, the middle distance championship may be his before the end of the present season. After a search of many years, at last a Negro millionaire, yes, a multi-millionaire has been found.
This jam, after inexplicably hanging fire for a week, as inexplicably started like a sprinter almost into its full gait.
