DIED OF GRIEF.

A Circus Horse Left Behind the Caravan
Expires Of . Broken Heart
The emotional life of the horse il re-
markable. There are instances on
record where the death of the horse
has been traced directly to grief. One
instance is called to mind which oc-
Cured more than twenty years ago. A
circus had been performing in the
little town of Unionville. Pa, when
one of the trained horses sprained one
of his legs so that he could not travel.
He was taken to the hotel and put in a
box-stall. The leg was bandaged and
he was made as comfortable as posi-
BILE. He ate his food and was ap-
parently contented until about mid
night. when the circus began moving
out of town. Then he became restless
and framped and whinnied.
As the caravan moved past the hotel
he seemed to realize that he was being
deserted. and his anxiety and distress
became pitiful He would stand with
his ears pricked in an attitude of In
tense listening, and then sas his ears
caught the sounds of retiring wagons
he would rush, as best he could with
his injured leg. from one side of the
stall to the other. pushing at the door
with his nose and making every effort
to escape. The stableman, who was a
stranger to him. tried to soothe him.
but to no purpose He would not be
comforted. Long after all sounds OF
the circus had ceased his agitation con-
tinued- The sweat poured from him
in streams and he quivered in every
part of his body.
Finally the stableman went to the
house. woke up the proprietor and
told him he believed the horse would
die if some of the circus horses were
not brought back to keep him com
pany. At about daylight the proprie.
tor mounted horse and rode after the
circus. He overlook it ten or twelve
miles away, and the groom who had
charge of the injured horse returned
with him. When they reached the
stable the horse was dead. The stable.
man said that he remained for nearly
an hour perfectly still. and with every
sense apparently strained to the ut,
most tension. and then, without max
ing sign, fell and died with scarcely
