Perhaps I am not ao bright as I should be.“ “Nonsense.” said Jaek. “I Just talk sometimes to hear myself talk. I be lieve ait of us do at times, even the best of us.” “Now, now,” said Bill, “you are only trying to make me feel less stupid. You are very modest, really. Tou don’t talk to hear yourself talk. If (here ever was a modest horse, you’re one.” “Well, I have nothing to be proud of.” said Jack. “Nonsense, you have. Think of the lives you’ve saved.” “Well, haven’t you saved lives, too?” asked Jack. “Well, who wouldn't save a life when he could? It’a nothing so fine when I’ve done It, because it has JUst come my way. I mean tMT opportuni ty has Just come my way when I save a life. I Just couldn't help but do that. When you've saved lives you've gohe out of your way to do so.” “So h^ve you.” said Jack, “and you are a very modeat horse.” “Well,” said'Bill, “1 think It is ao foolilh to loe conceited.
