The Fayorite Horse OF AeN"""'' '

When Alexander. the son OF Philip, KING
n Macedon. was a youth, Tbessailan
jealer brought TO the court Deau,iiu' anu
bigb spirited horse. which he offered 10 the
Ting for sale. The animal was pure white,
all but his forehead, on which tnere WIS

hence he received the name Bucepnaius
,-hich il Greek for bulls head" The
zinc would gladly have bought the horse,

Now. the Young Prince Alexander, care
h,IIv watching the horses proceedings,
,,oticed that he swerved aside and became
,,,,r,lv from fear OF his own shadow, and
having asked and obtained his fathers per
,,ission 10 try his hand, he boldly mounted
The animal and rode him full against the
sunshine. so that his shadow fell behind
him. Bucephalus, no longer seeing the OBJ
iect Of his dread. became quite docile and
carried the prince quietly. The king was
so overioyed at the courage and skill of his
Youthful son that he presented him with
The horse, exclaiming, "Go, my son, seek
another kingdom, for Macedonia cannot
suffice for thee"
Alexander became much attached to bis
horse. and took him with him through all
his campaigns in Asia. After bearing his
master safely through many conflicts, Blu
cephalus is said 10 have died Of the wounds
be received in the battle with Porus, the
Indian king. but Arrian, the historian OF
Alexander says that he died of fatigue
and old age, being then about 30 years old
However that may BE-, Alexander was deep
