He flattened himself on the ground, but was up like a flash, sprinting out of harm's way. There was reason for his last action. Other things were coming his way. As the wheels of the rival wagon slewed, they struck a gutter. The wagon turned turtle, and men, paste brushes, paper and all were scattered all over the place. "Oh, that's too bad!" muttered Phil.
The triumphant yells of the exultant savages were cut short and turned to howls of dismay by a fusillade which thundered from the south where a crowd of hard-riding, hard-shooting cow-punchers tore out of the thicket like an avalanche and swept over the open sand, yelling and cursing, and then separated to go in hot pursuit of the sprinting Apaches.
Then recovering himself he made a dash for the door through which the mysterious man had disappeared. Tom saw him sprinting down the road, and was half-minded to take after him, but a cooler thought warned him that he had better not. "He may be one of those men who are on Mr. Jenks' trail," reasoned Tom, in which case it might not be altogether safe to attempt to stop him, and make him explain.
Interspersed with a number of minor events, such as further sprinting matches for younger entries, and some more pole vaulting, as well as Indian club exhibitions of skill, would come the humorous features of the meet. These are always popular with the country people; indeed, nearly everybody seems to welcome them as a diversion calculated to raise hearty laughter.
Through the arches he darted and then down into the garden, sprinting as he had never sprinted before, on, on to the southwest angles of the wall, thanking Heaven fervently, as every step outdistanced his pursuer, that the man had evidently no gun. The rope ladder was still there, blown free at the bottom now and waving merrily in the wind.
In different parts of it half a dozen football elevens were engaged in practice; on the tennis courts near the athletic house boys in white trousers and sweaters were playing; on the track encircling the football field other boys more lightly clad were sprinting or jogging round in practice for long-distance runs; a few sauntered about as spectators, with hands in their overcoat pockets.
But he did, and his high-pitched greeting to the man with the dog train floated back upon the still, cold air as he floundered farther and farther away. "Hello! hello! hello!" The greeting came back at intervals. And Steve wondered at the feelings of the silent Oolak when he heard that voice, and saw that baby figure sprinting and wobbling over the snow towards him. "Missis gone dead."
All along the route nationale, as far as I could see with my field-glass, stood the grey camions. On the chemin Madame the regiment was waiting. They had stacked their guns and, in groups, with cigarettes between their lips, they chatted quietly, as they waited. Here and there a bicyclist was sprinting with orders. Suddenly a whistle sounded.
He thought he saw someone dodging into the entrance aft, and at the same time he was sure someone was doing the same thing forward." "I was the fellow who dodged in the forward entrance. Then you fellows started a sprinting match with me." "Why did you run?" "Oh, I suppose I might as well tell you all about it."
But his joints soon adapted themselves to the strain, and in ten seconds he was sprinting as fast as he had ever sprinted off the running-track. When he had travelled a quarter of the distance the small cyclist overtook him. 'Be quick, she said, 'it's just in sight. Charteris quickened his stride, and, paced by the bicycle, spun along in fine style.
