A Tow Horse That knows Something.

A Washington driver says that there
is an old Gray hill horse there that s6me-
times cannot get back to his accustomed
Mace at the foot Of the hill in time for
the next car. This horse has nothing to
do with the blue line, and knows the
difference between the blue and the
brown cars. If he is on his way DacK
to the starring point and sees a brown
Tar coming. this shrewd animal will
turn around and stand alongside the
track waiting for the car to reach him,
No amount Of coaxing can induce him
to move. but after the car reaches him
be will pull like major" until he
reaches the top. Then he returns to his
post. and when he again sees his car
coming turns and gets into position.
A day on two ago the hill boy, instead
Of walking back with the horse Oh rid
inc him. as was his usual custom,
jumped on car and rode down. The
horse saw this and stopped half way up
the hill and would not move until the
boy came after him. Whenever the boy
rides on the car the horse stops half way
down the hill, but when the boy remains
with him the old gray pursues the even
tenor of his way raJil he reaches the
bottom.-Our Animal dends,
