The two ponies started to run.

"Oh, I'm going to beat! I'm going to beat!" Janet cried, for she saw
that Star Face was getting ahead of Clipclap.

"No you're not!" shouted Teddy, and he touched his heel to the
pony's flank. Clipclap gave a jump forward, and then something
happened.

Teddy took a flying leap, and right over Clipclap's head he sailed,
coming down on his hands and knees some distance off. Clipclap fell
down and rolled over in the grass while Janet kept on toward the hill
that marked the end of the race.

The little girl reached this place first, not being able to stop her
pony when she saw what had happened to Teddy. But as soon as she
could turn around she rode back to him and asked anxiously:

"Are you hurt, Ted?"

"No--no. I--I guess not," he answered slowly.

"Is Clipclap?" asked Janet.

The pony answered for himself by getting up, giving himself a shake
and then beginning to eat some grass.

"What happened?" Janet questioned further. "Why didn't you come on
and race with me? I won!"
