SYNOPSIS Heather Mills' world tumbled about het when her father's thoroughbred. "Coronado." breaks bis back while running in the Santa Anita Handicap, and Dan Milla, the veteran sportsman, succumbs the following day, ostensibly from pneumonia but really from a broken heart. Charley Basaitt, a shady horseman, had backed the winner Gossip was rife regarding Coronado's ''accidental'' death. Two who had wagered ail on Coronado and lost were “Slim" (Andrew Branson) Maynard, whose father once owned a string of thoroughbreds, and hie friend, "Snapper” Elliott, a typical tout. Heather goes back to her father's Carmel Valley farm, where a colt, sired by Coronado, is born. She named the colt "Knight Errant.” In the meantime. Slim and Snapper were doing well at Tanforan. The former buys two cheap horses "Susie” and "Cold Cream." which are involved in a court case. Knight Errant ia now a promising yearling and Heather ia anxious to race him. Against the advice of her stable-hand. Artichokes. the track-ignorant Heather takes Knight Errant to Santa Anita. As she goes to register her horse. Slim sees her and recognizes her as the sad-eyed girl ho saw the day Coronado died. CHAPTER X Heather stepped up to the secretary's counter. She was flushed and starry eyed. "Knight Errant?" Everett said, glancing at the registration papers Heather handed him. And be thought, “Never heard of him." But his eyes widened when he saw written in. "By Coronado, out of Sweet Alice." “I never knew Coronada had a eon." he said with interest. Slim was listening. He snapped his fingers in an ecstasy of remembrance. Now he knew why the horse ia the van outside had seemed like one he had seen before. “Knight Errant was born the same month Coronado died," Heather explained. And when she related how she had just arrived, that Knight Errant was outside in the van, and asked for stable room, Everett told her she should have wired weeks ago for stall space. “There are 1.200 horses on the grounds,” he told her, “and Knight Errant is just one of four hundred 2-year-old* to be accommodated with stalls. Who’s ynur trainer’" “Trainer? Why, I guess I am," she stammered, wondering if Everett thought she had a circus lion or something out in the van. “I—l've just brought Knight Errant from the farm. Must he have a trainer?” “You can't just wind him up and let him run," Everett smiled. When he explained that the state racing laws required every horse to have a licensed trainer, she felt relieved. “Then I'll buy a license. How much ia it?” “It isn't that easy. Miss Mills," Everett explained. “You'll have to aee Mr. Roy Carruthers, the presiding steward, about that. He’s pretty touchy about granting a trainer’s license to a woman, too.” Then Everett told her to come around the first of the week when the rush of the Santa Anita opening was out of the way, and he would do his best to find room for her horse. Heather thanked him. But she was close to tears. Slim, standing close to her, was undecided. Should ne risk speaking to her? “Maybe there’s something I can do.” said a voice behind her. Heather turned to find a heavyset stranger standing solicitously, his hat in his hand. “Pardon me, ma'am. My name ia Bassitt I couldn’t help hear you talking. I was a good friend of ynur

Pa'a, 1 knew him wall He was one in a million, old Dan.” Disarmed by the fine words at praise for her father. Heather smiled rather dolefully. “Mind ts I take a look at your colt,” Basaitt pursued. "I was a greet admirer of hi* sirs, saw him run many a great race. If he's anything like his daddr. Coronado, hell sure be a pippin. Heather wai not tophi»Ucated . rough to analyse the gleam in Bas sitt's eyes at the mention of Coronado. She did not notice the sardonic glance Slim, listening, gave the unctuous Baaaitt She was glad to hear, in all this masculine datoor, a friendly vatee that seemed to come from old Dan. “Oh, Mr. Baaaitt. thank you. I'll be glad to show you Knight Errant " It was with the feeling that she had found a friend that Heather left the Santa Anita racing office with Charlie Baaaitt. His talk of oM Dan. hie praise of Coronado and now hie flattering comments upon her Knight Errant had blanketed the three donunAting figure* closest to her heart With the quick eye of a horseman, Bassitt looking into the van. noted Knight Errant's "weight carrying'' cheat and depth through the heart. And he caught his breath when he saw the dim rarti< lega, as Hm Coronado’s. "Racy looking colt you've got, ma'am. A dead spit of his daddy,” Bassitt had put it In the next breath he was kicking himself mentally for having revealed that ho was ao high ea Knight Errant. He climbed into the roadster with Heather, directing the way to the Bernitt stable. Slim watched them go. He shrugged his shoulders and wandered moodily off to join the dockers in the grandstand. As the van rolled down through lanes of staWw, Heath si found it difficult to keep her eyes on the road, so fascinated was she at seeing a race track from the inside. They passed the C. V. Whitney stables, painted in the Eton blue and brown, the Whitney colors. Here grooms carrying buckets, went about looking more like Pullman porters, in epic and span white uniforms. She could see the floors of the stables. They looked as spotless as a perfect kitchen. As they neared the end of the roadway. Heather naw that the stables were beg>".!«ng te look mors and mere shabby. Men with stubble beards were sticking their heads out to stare at Heather. “Don't pay any attention to those roustabouts. Miss," advised Baaaitt. “They’re just riff raff." No sooner had they arrived at the Bassitt stable than be had a suggestion to make. “What do you say we take your colt out on the track for a little spin, Mias? It'll taka the kinks out of his legs after that long ride down here.” “Oh, let’s," Hesther answered. There was a delay when they reached the track. A battalion of Whitney horses were working en masse. They looked like troops of cavalry pounding down the backstreteh together, ridden by exercise boys in uniform blue jerseys. Heather watched, visioning a day when she would own a proud battalion of horses like this. Bassitt at length turned to Dimples Draper, his baby-faeed rider, saying: “Hey, kid. Take this colt threeeighths and cut him loose. I want to see how fast he can run." Heather stood on the track, entranced as Knight Errant came thundering by her. Stop watches in their hands, a battery of dockers scurried back and forth from a perch at the top of the grandstand to verify the time.

Three -eighths la 38 1-8! Yes, it was right. They all caught it "Who's that thing?" they asked each other, excitedly "Never »wn him before. Might bo that good one of Vanderbilt’s." "Boy, is that baby fleet of limb!" Brownie, the docker purred. "There isn’t another 2-year-old on the grounds that can warm him ap." “I’ve clocked 'em all, but I never laid eyes on one with early foot like that,” chimed in Carter Hayes. “Who is her Morianty almost guessed it. "Looks like the nearest thing to Coronado I ever saw," he observed. "It might be that gvt of his." Brownie mused. "I heard about a Coronado colt up north somewhere*" But. no, that couldn't be. they agreed, for there was Dimples Draper. Charlie Bassitt'* rider, in the saddle and Bassitt wouldn't be having anything tn do with the gvt of one a* good a* Coronado. One thing you could make sure of. The newspapers would never get this workout. It would go down in the docker's little book of “goodies." to be wired around the country to their exclusive client* the very first time they saw this colt** name bob up in the overnight entries. "Just put him down a* th* Black Demon'.'' Brownie said “Well get hi* naan* later " Thirty-three and a fifth! Bassitt couldn't believe hi* own stopwatch Th* world's record was 33. And just off th* van! What woulc he do when he was legged up? "Got a little speed, Mie*.” he toll Heather deliberately. “Worked just fair. Pretty green colt. Going tr have to be a lot of work done wit) him A good handler aught ruak« something out of him, but I wouldn't get too high on him if I was yoi until you see him under real fire." “Don’t you think he show* promise?" she asked, disappointed ia Bassitt'* lack of enthusiasm. The crafty Bassitt hid hi* excitement with a mild. “Yea." • • • • Slim had seen Knight Errant work, had heard the docker* rave over hi* meteoric speed. Through glasses in the grandstand he studied Heather talking with Bassitt. “Who are you lamping, Slim, the girl or the horse?” Snapper asked. “Neither one.” Slim answered. “I’m wondering what that Bassitt’* doing down there.” “1 wouldn't let Bassitt train a donkey of mine, if that's what she's up to,” said Snapper. "Bassitt'* a good man with a hors* thong!’. Snapper," Slim ((■- piied. “I know that. I’ve seen him take over cripples and make ’em do a lot of running." After a pause, he remarked; “But that girl doesn't know what it's all about. I’m going to stroll over there and look things over at close range." Slim left the docker* in the grandstand raving over Knight Errant'* time trial and strolled down by the rail. There he watched until Bassitt left Heather and saw him walk down the track to talk with Dimples Draper who was leading the colt slowly to cool him out. Then Slim went up to Heather. “Mis* Mills,” be began, “I’m Slim Maynard." She recognized him at once as the annoying person who had halted her drive up to the Sant* Anita racing office an hour before. She surveyed him with a surprising coldness. “1* that your colt?" Slim asked, pointing down the track. Heather was polite, but cold. “Yes, that is Knight Errant, the son of Coronado.” Slim stepped closer to her, ing“I’d like to warn you about something, Mis* Mills. If I were you. I’d be very careful who I permitted that eolt of your* to be with. ’’ ’ He was stopped by the flare in her eye*. (To be continued) Owtlftt By MrlWiui 1 fltrtrlMitM by fl n>d|««t» lw
