They strolled out and met Robinson
Look here, Robinson, don't you
want a right good horse at a bargain?
I've just bought Jones ine bay horse.
He cost $50 originally. and he is in just
the same condition he was when / got
him."
"Oh!" said Robinson, times are
hard, and horse feed is awful high. A
high-s stepping horse like Jones' bay will
n"t hinhead, nGie"Suu tfre I0UIIng your
self. He eats less than any horse you
ever saw. By George, no horse can eat
less than he can"
"Ain't he little friskyfn
Brown shook his head and replied:
You are doing that horse injustice.
You can tell by looking at him that he
is not that kind of an animal. I'll let
you have him for just what gave for
him-$20-Sl down, and your note,
secured by such men as Heidenheimer,
for the balance. I've got to have
money"
Robinson thought it was mean to take
ADVANTAGE of Browns distress, but then
it was not his lookout. If he was out
of his head, why didn't he have the
| court appoint him a guardian? So be
| planked down the dollar and gave the
note, on the condition that the horse
| would 90 in q wagon.
"You bet," remarked Brown, she'll
| go in a wagon. Come on, boys, let's
| spend this dollar"
| After they had wiped off their mouths,
| the procession reformed, and started to
| inspect the animal. Sure enough, three
men were lifting him into wagon.
| "There," said Brown, told you he
| would go into a wagon. Don't say
swindled you. lie will eat less than any
horse you ever owned. You will save
his value in horse-feed in two weeks.
Just try and see if he is not gentle.
Tickle him with straw"
The spectators applauded. Robinson
| looked like he ought to go along with
| his horse to keep him in countenance.
IN conclusion it is whispered on the
| Strand among capitalists that some OF
the notes have already passed into the
hands of innocent holders, and as soon
as they mature, protests will be In order.
