Y' "Tom," said my father to me, one cold November afternoon, as we stood in the fl;g-paved ba1ll of our old-fash-ioned n farm-house, " you'd better put the little Idhay m;;re in the dog-cart and go into Id Worthington for that saddle. I clean *' forgot to call for it yesterlay, and if you want to go out w ith the hounds on rn, 4at urday, you won't have another chance - ,f getting it." I was nothing loth to act utpon the parental suggestion, although it neant a long drive in the biting cold, and aI .e though the return journey would have it been done in the d;ttk or with very in ^ lifferent moonlight. We were utterly r, isolated at the Mistletoe Farm ; for we r. were seven miles from Worthin;ton, our te nearest town, and ten miles in the op ': posite direction, from the nearest rail t way station. The little bav mare that I t was going to drive was a young one of our own breeding, clever as a cat and " docile as a dog. From her infancy she was my playfellow ; would come to me when I whistled to her, eat out of my hand or my pocket ; and when the time cane for backing her and breaking her, there was nothing to be done. She had Ie had perfvet conIidence and trust in us all, r and especially inl me ; the eat by the fire side could not be more gentl' or more n, easy to control. She was a world too good for harness, tt I thought to myself, as I led her out of t the stables and proceeded to put her to " the old fashioned, sctuaro dog cart, which tuned up lehtinid, ain dl looked like a mail cart-harm lig the color, whIichl was a dingy graty. T1hie little marc was my lhnter when mIy houds were within reach and my father would let me go; and sihe carried ime as gamely, even after s-twenty mliless oif harniess the daiy before, 0 as if s'he was one of the Squlire's eriacks hand wenlt out onily once a week.
