Baden had either fallen sick or gone
lame.

dealers of Paris, and they showed me
as fine saddle animals a magnificent COZ

away at such a rate.

dealer, was making his regular auction
sale. | went in one morning. and there

pig in a poke, and only on the declara-
tions Of the catalogue, l bought eight
horses, which cost me only 5000 francs.
Among these horses there was one
