CHAPTER XXI
Of course no riding and there was
new outdoor couch with wheels on
the terrace under the pergola where
she lay for many hours not doing
anything her hands clasped behind
her neck her eyes on the sky or the
distant hills Often the hair of her
bang was darkened with sweat and
there wero tiny beads on her upper
lip and her hands were not steady
Their father had called both boys
to him soon after they got home
and had said with his harshest voice
and his Hcrcest eyes Dont do any
thing this summer that will cause
your mother trouble or pain or the
least anxiety
No air he and Howard had
answered instantly Afterwards
they had looked at each other with
a long thoughtful look This was
serious It mustnt be forgotten
Their father sure meant what he
said
Howards coming home had been
another excitement because How
ard was changed At least he was 1
changed when Ken first saw him
getting oft the train and riding home
In the car telling his mother and
father things about the school In a
deep voice that never slipped up
any more He was In his gray tweed
suit and the Fedora didnt loox
funny on his face now
When he got Into a shirt and blue
jeans with a bandana hanging out of
his hind pocket Ken began te feel
more easy with him And next day
Howard stopped sitting gravely with
his mother and father and began to
devil Ken and wrestle with him
And on the third day they started U
tell each other things Ken made
the acquaintance of Howards two
best friends at school Jake who was
a football star and Bugs And In
turn he told Howard all about his
trip to the Valley of the Eagles
and promised to take Howard there
as soon as there was a chance and
undid his belt and pulled up his
shirt and showed him the scar from
the eagles talons It was still Im
Impressive
You know Ilowanll Ceel Some-
times I just cant believe it
Cant believe what
That Its all turning out to be
real abuut Thunderhcd
Real Why you dope what fun
would If be It It wasnt real
Well t dunno
Were juu Just pretending about
It all
allOh
Oh of coutse not Ken was
puzzled about that How you can
be planning a thing In a real way
thinking about it nearly all the time
and yet it Is more of a dream than
a reality so that when it suddenly
comes ttuc and has to be geared In
with actual events hours and dates
and weighing scales and entrance
fees and shipping arrangements It
is just as much of a shock as If
you ncer really expected it to
happen
116waid v as squinting one eye
and then the other making a hawk
thatwas floating high up move from
one end of a cloud to the other
When we get to Saginaw Falls
and change these heavy shoes hes
wearing to light aluminum shoes
theyll feel so light on his feet hell
go like the wind
Howard held a finger In the air
above his face and looked to one
side of It and then the other
And It Charley Sargent buys
Dads surplus hay and sends It down
to Saginaw Falls for the race then
Thunderhead wont have to change
to a different kind of hay from what
lies used to Besides Charley can
sell It down there for fifty dollars a
tan He said so Mountain hay Is
the best and down there theyll pay
anything If they think It will give
tfielr nags a better chance But
ti ody can beat Thunderhead
Ken went off suddenly Into one of his
wild bursts of joy rolling over back-
wards and trying to stand on his
headCant
Cant you do that said Howard
contemptuously He got up slowly
stood on his head with ease and
nonchalance then lay down and
stretched out again
Howard snJJTed at such childish-
ness Say I When shall we go down
there to the Valley of the Eagles
ALeJa go ocp Golly I hope that
onelegged eagle Is therel Id like
to pay him back for what he did
jo rnc
Maybe we could go his week-
end

Bui It was not until that draw was
finished and another one as well and1
all the hay put up that Rob Mc-
Laughlin said the boys could have
the rest of the summer to do as they
pleased In
Rest There wasnt any rest
September was here and there were
only four days before the date for
which Howards return accommo-
dations had bpen taken
But four days was twice as much
as they ttduld need So they an-
nounced that they were off for a
camping trip and Nell put up pro-
visions for them and Thunderhead
and Fllcka were hung with bags
rifles slickers frying pans and the
boys rode away up the Saddle Back
Under their feet the bare rolling
hills and soft burned grass beyond
the Buckhorn Mountains a wilder-
ness of forests and peaks And an
Infinite distance away and above as
It born up on the loner crests V
gleaming shape misted In clouds
the Thunderer beckoning to theml
And how eagerly they answered
Not the antelope nor the Jack rab-
bits fled more swiftly over the plains
than the four young things wild with
Hah You goofl Do you expect
to look like him
excitement and freedom galloping
south with yells and shouts and
pounding hoofs and their faces cold
in a wind that was sharp and sweet
with snow
From the moment of leaving the
ranch Thunderhead was in a state
of intense excitement And when
they had climbed the Saddle Back
and headed south his wild eyes
and his nostrils and his pricked ears
never ceased exploring those moun-
tains ahead of them His mountains
His valley from which high fences
and stern masters had kept him for
a year
He was hard to hold when the
smell of the river reached them
Ken let him go and he galloped on
the little trail he had made himself
until they rounded the hill and the
Silver Plume river came into view
While the horses watered the boys
debated whether they should stop
and fish or try to complete the trip
that night and because of Howards
limited time decided on the latter
Thunderhead took the lead and
they plunged Into the mountains He
was filled with a fiery and masterful
energy He had never forgotten
and now that the way was open to
his inherited destiny he was ready
and eager fcr It His stallions con-
sciousness had come of age at last
It was already twilight In the
gorge and under some of the over-
hanging cliffs and great trees the
trail led into darkness But Thun-
derhead went swiftly and when the
boys stopped to pause and look and
exclaim at the plunge of the great
waterfalls or the foaming cauldrons
of Whitewater his Iron shoe struck
the rock Impatiently and his stri-
dent neigh tore the thunderous roar
of the river
The scent was getting stronger
and It maddened him with Joy It
was the scent of a destiny of a life
of an overwhelming emotion For
not Under the saddle or running obe-
diently around a track but here in
these mountains lay his whole exist-
ence and he had carried the flame
of It In his consciousness for a year
That evening they pitched camp
In the parklike grounds not far from
the base of the valley rampart
Picketed with Fllcka below the
camp Thunderhead did not lie down
and sleep as a young horse should
Only older horses who no longer
have growing pains sleep standing
on their feet But Thunderhead stood
all night longt his bod > quivering
turned to that rampart and the pass
Into the valley his ears pricked to
catch the faintest sound
He knew it Immediately when In
theearly dawn a group joi mares
and potts drifted through the pate to
graze tin the pri ner below he1

Ing Impatiently nickering again and
again
Fllcka woke up and was also
seized by the excitement of meeting
stranger Thunderhead ran around
the circle allowed him by his picket
rope He backed away lowered his
head and gave It a few shakes pull-
ing at the rope But his training
had been thorough It was now al-
most a physical Impossibility for
him to fight a head rope He
plunged a bit and then reared up
pawing the air When he came down
he whirled and looked at those
mares again just dark shadows In
the vogue gray dtwn then he
dropped his muzzle to earth placd
one forefoot on the ropt with a little
fling of his head got It between his
teeth and bit it i rough as neatly
as he had bitten tT the leg of the
eagle
With an eager neigh te trotted oft
toward the mares leaving Fllcka
impatient and unhajpj nickering
lonesomely but too clue f to at-
tempt escape
Ken had been drcawirtg a night
of the playful nlckcrUg of horr > s-
He dreamed he was rUlnfc Thundef
head on the range In a band ol
yearlings but why dlt they keep
nickering so9 What was attracting
their attention There came an un-
easiness Into the dream The nick
erlng persisted but as If attempting
to present a plausible explanation
the dream changed rapidly Now
he was riding Fllcka in the brood-
mare bunch And now he was tid-
ing In the corrals on tfe day of the
weaning for that was surely he
nickering of young cohs
Kens dreams became still more
uneasy and he sat up suddenly and
saw the dawn and knew where ha
was and could not understand why
the nickering continued even novr
thatthe dream vs ended
There was one dazed minute In
uhlch he sat there collecting his
wits brushing the sleep and the hair
out of his tyes and then he realUed
that off near the rampart was a
group of mares and colts with a
white horse among them and that
the nickering came from them
It was just what he had seen on
his former visit to the valley except
that this was only a small number
of mares and the Albino for some
reason or other was not behaving
like a sensible stallion but was rear-
ing squealing whirling around to
face first this one then the other
in fact was a living coil of move
ment and excitement
But there was nickering closer at
hand too and suddenly Ken became
anxious lest Thunderhead and Fllcka
should be excited by the proximity
of strange mares and break away
from their picket lines He flung back
his blankets leaped out of them and
ran down stream It brought him up
sharp to see only one horse there
Fllcka hardly paid any attention to
his arrival Her ears were pricked
toward those strange mares and
she pawed the ground and it was-
her nickering that had aroused him
In a daze Ken picked up the sec-
ond picket rope and looked at the
end of It Bitten clean through He
dropped It and rubbed his hand
through his hair That was Thun-
derhead over there with the mareS
then not the Albino No wonder
he had behaved peculiarly Thun-
derhead with mares at lastl
Kens mind began to labor He
must be got away frpm them im-
mediately The Albino might come
out through the pass looking for
those mares And suddenly near
panic seized Ken The race so near
And the least Injury to Thunderhead
at this late date might make It Im-
possible for him to run
Now he thought fast He picked
up a nosebig half full of oats and
walked very quietly over toward the
mares
As he drew near he called Thun-
derhead softly and held out the nose-
bag and shook It The oats made
a rustling sound That was enough
as a rule to draw twenty horses at
a run But Thunderhead merely
turned his head to glance him
then gave his attention to the mares
again Now and then he would drop
his nose to the ground and half
rircle the mares plunging at them
turning dodgingv naklng thrm It
looked as If he were going to round
them upl Ken became more
alarmed If he rounded them up
hed get them going and hed go
along with them and it would be
still harder to catch him

Come along boy Heres your oats
Oats Thunderhead OATS
Thunderhead paid no attention
Wth4 more determination now he
drove at the mores He whipped
around them got them moving
drove them toward the clcfl In the

Ken stood still appalled by the
realization that the horse had actu-
ally taken possession of the mares
They gave him complete obedience
aa If the electric power within him
had welded them all Into a unit ol
which he was head and master
Suddenly Ken ran forward again

Meat for Menus
Lowpriced lamb shoulder may be
used for these lamb pieces prepared
on skewers They broil quickly and
make a palatable dinner when you
want to cook In a jiffy
Recent visits to the market have
convinced me that most education
about meat cook
ery was forgotten
during rationing
and shortages
Most of us
worked ourselves
into a sort of a
rut about meats
and now find that
we need a brush
up course on
meat cookery
Meat should satisfy end to do so
It must be properly prepared If
broiling Is what the cut needs make
lure your temperature Is high
enough to do the job decently But
if its brajslng makesurt the heat
Is slow and steady and the cooking
moist
Here are a few of the things you
ought to remember when buying
meat First of all become ac-
quainted with a variety of cuts so
that you can better manage your
budget and give the family much
needed menu variety Ask the
market man for advice He can give
you tips on specials and help you
get more for your money
It you have meats boned at the
market always ask for the bones to
take home Theyre1 wonderful for
Savoring soups sauces and vegeta-
bles When you purchase large cuts
have some steaks or chops removed
for another meal There wont be
so many leftovers and you will be
able to get more variety from the
targe cuts
