FOUNDER OF HIS RACE 23 



hot and excited breath of the maddened animal reached 

 his bare feet. 



The Tory scent that came down to True only in- 

 creased his anger, but not being able to reach the boy, 

 he resolved that the kicking he owed him could be post- 

 poned — for years, if necessary — but some day, some day, 

 it would be delivered ! Furthermore — he would kick 

 nothing until that day arrived and he met this boy again 

 on level ground ! 



How he kept his vow we shall see later.
