Chapter Seven
It was a gala day at the National Race Course, in the outskirts of Washington, a perfect early autumn afternoon in 1828. Three national celebrities, Daniel Webst r, Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson had cn tered horees In tho final event of the meet, the Capitol Trotting Stakes. Particular Interest was ern tered on this race by reason of the fact that General Jackson, whose presidential candidacy would soon be determined at the polls, was pre-
eent in person.
Hla horse, which for sentirr.ental reasons he had named Peggy O’Neale, was a distinct long ehot. Odds of thirty to one wore being freely offered, with few takers. P p ggy herself, matured from girlhood Into enchanting womanhood, sat in a front box with General and Mrs. Jackson, their niece, Emily Doneleon, a pinch-faced, neurotie type. Senator John Eaton, and Anne Royall, publisher of an independent newspaper espousing the
Jackson cause.
An adjacent box was manned with a battery of jealous, catlike eyes. A small group of self-appoint-ed society arbiters were carving up I >e <?Sy find the Jacksons in venomous, low whispers. Mrs. Bomfret Beall, a fat, forbidding woman of fifty, leaned forward to speak to Louisa Abbot, a relatively young but bopeleas-looklng spinster. “My dear,” she purred “haven’t I always said she’s tho most dangerous woman in Washington?” “Yes,” agreed Louisa. “And

of feeling. The contrast between th i two nominees was so striking that one could not fall to take sides. John Quincy Adams, on the one hand, was a poiJshed Intellectual from Massachusetts. Andrew Jackson, although even his enemies granted he was a friend of the common people, was pictured as an illiterate upstart from South Carolina. When the pinnacle of excitement had been reached and the voting had taken place, Peggy sat anxiously In her room at the Franklin Inn. Indecisive bulletins had been posted, but final word was expected very soon. Immersed in a reverie of mixed emotions, Peggy was startled when a servant brought word that Mrs. Bomfret Beall was waiting ba low. “he was th ? last person from whom she would have expected a
social call.
“Why, how do you do?” beamed Mrs. Beall. “You know, I’ve been saying to myself for a long time: '1 must drop In and pay my respects to that charming Mrs. Tho-
berlake’."
“It must have taken courage,"
said Peggy, “to jeopardize your
putation in this way.”
“It is / who have always admired you,” rejoined Mrs. Beall. "Yen 1 might even say, defended you.” There was a wild shout outside, and Rowdy Dow, hair disheveled and coat torn open, burst into tho
room.
’God bless Andrew Jackson!” he cried out. “Seventh President of tho United States of America!" Peggy, her heart pounding with joy rushed to throw her arms about the brlnger of such good news. Then she turned just in time to catch Mrs. Beall’s slyly appraising look, ”1 suppose you had no idea of this,” she exclaimed, "when you gushed in here like a tidal wave."
widowhood is such a useful weapon." “Birds of a feather,” added Mrs Beall, nodding toward Peggy and Rachel Jackson. “An innkeeper's daughter and a backwoods wife." "Mra. Jackson seems to have left her pipe at home," tittered Louisa. "Look! look!” cried one of the other members of the group, as she saw Peggy handing her field glasses to Senator Eaton. “The hussy! Practicing her wiles on that charming Mr. Eaton!” As the horses were brought out by their handlers, prior to the running of the main event, General Jackson rose. "Like to go down and put a little bet on your namesake for good luck?” he asked Peggy. She smilingly assented. As Jackson wea placing th“ wr.ger Peggy noticed a tall, familiar figure standing beside the rail. She gave a start, hesitated a moment, then stepped forward. "John!’’ she called out lightly. Senator Randolph turned, caugh sight of her, and held out his hand in greeting, a curiously non-commit-tal expression on his face. “It’s been a long time since I've scon you,” said Peggy. ‘‘Yes," returned Randolph In a constrained manner. I've taken a house near the Senate. I f*nd it more convenient.” “Is that the reason?" asked Peggy. He did not reply, and she looked at him wi'h intense earnestness. “John, what's happened to ua? You've never come to the inn. After you sent me that little note — after Bow — " ‘‘Time passed very quickiy for me,” Randolph hastened to say. "I worked a gieat deal, and 1 was busy on my farm.” "In case you haven’t noticed,” returned Peggy, a playful gleam coming Into her eyes, “I ve quite grown up.” “Margaret," replied Randolph, his voice changing, “I'm dining the new British Minister and his wife next Friday. Wont you pic ate come?” > "I’d love It, John,” said Peggy Impulsively. Then a sudden reco'lection fleshed into her mind, and her face fell. ”1 forgot. I promised Senator Eaton, just a little while ago, to dine with him on Friday. Couldn't you — ” But Randolph’s habitually reserved expression had returned, and, besides, there was no time for further discussion. Jackson came up, and the two men disgressed into politics. In a few minutes the race was on. O'Neale got a bad start and was trailing the field at the first lap. Then, while the crowd roared at such a snectacular demonstration, Jackson's entry pulled up into fourth, third, second place It was neck and neck for the finish. The tavorite had It. No, Peggy O'Neale by an unbelievable spurt, plunged
“What do you mean?” said Mrs. Beall. "Just this.” retorted Peggy. “The instant you knew, you almost broke youe neck getting here so that you could cackle yourself into my esteem.” Mrs. Beall gasped for breath, her face livid With helpless rage. "You pothouse hussy!” she screamed, surging out of the room. “You’ll live to regret this!” The banquet in honor of Jackson's victory was held the next night at Franklin Inn. All those who wi re closest to "Old Hickory” had gathered to voice their happinctvf at his triumph. Across one wall was a huge American flag, bearing twenty-four stars. Peggy eat between Senator John Eaton end Martin Van Euren. As Jackson rose at one end of the long dining table, a confused crescendo of voiced come from outside. In a moment definite phrases were audible. “Jackson! Murderer! Shot his own men at New Orleans! Who wonts Jackson? W'e don’t!” The General shot a quick fiery glance toward the window, but for the m .ment refused to recognize the raucous demonstration below “My friends,” he said, to those gathered around the table. "I ear?;, i-itly hop,, that if there are some <) you that don't entirely approve the way I do things, that none o’ you may have reason to disapprove o' the final results. Maybe my manner is rough, but my heart ie warmed by the constant desire to insure th-- happiness o' the people o' this country —• " "Or Hickory Sournut! Oi’ PizenOak! Ho don't dare to show his face!

Tho crowd was getting noisier. - 1 son st pped to the balcony, and a derisive clamor resounded across the court. ‘‘Gentlemen," said the General, his hand, “Whatever I have di re In 'he past, I have done bccau. e I cor. id -red it just an right.
