One of the boys was the brother of her chum, another was merely his friend, the third was the captain of the track team. The girl was very pretty and well aware of the effect her charms created. She flirted with each of the boys in turn and they became her abject slaves. The girl was very fond of athletics and her suitors knew that success on the track meant favor in her eyes. They were all members of the track team, and all strove mightily to win distinction at the coming college meet. The eventful day arrived and the three college men were contestants in the 100-yard dash. The team captain was by far the best runner, but he injured his leg in the race and his competitors sped by him to the goal. Prizes were offered to the athletes. The men who received first and second prizes grinned delightfully, for they intended to present them to the girl for whom they both cared. The captain of the team sheepishly accepted the "booby prize," a dachshund. The spectators roared with laughter as the ungainly dog waddled after his new owner and the athlete felt far from happy for he feared the effect of ridicule would spoil his chances with the girl he loved. Nevertheless, he came to her house for the decision she would make. The two other suitors were there also. The girl looked at each of the eager men and her eyes returned to the man she knew she loved. "I always did like dachshunds," she exclaimed, "and he will just match my dress!" She picked up the animal and smiled into her lover's eyes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
