"of course / will tell you" said
grandma.
aYou see, Kitty, we were all staying
on farm in the country me summer
and the farmer allowed tie boys to do
inst about as they pleased. Henry had
always been fond of horses ana thaV
summer he was with them almost con-
stantly. He had learned TO harness;
and one very warm day he made up ms
mind that he would have ride all by
himself.
$50 he went to the pasture and caught
old Baldv, the horse that he liked best
and led him to the barn. 1t was very
warm dav, as have said, and the nies
were troublesome. Badly, as general
thing. was easy to manage; but to-day
he kept stamping and fiinging up his
head in very restless manner, anc
making his young master a great dea
of trouble.

Kitty pushed stool TO the head

touched it softly with her little finger

that he remembered all about Bald
