HORSE DIED OF GRIEF.
The Faithful Animal Could Not Stand
the Pnngs Of Separation from
His Companions 81

speaking Of the emotional life Of .
horse,r said an old trainer. who had
been listening TO a story about an AMI
mails death that was directly traced
to grief, II recall one remarkable In
stance of sorrow shown by horse be-
longing to n circus with which was
travelling three years ago. We were
performing In the little town of Union
willie, Pa, when one OF the trick horses
fell and sprained one of his legs so
badly that he could not travel. He was
taken to livery stable and put in q
box stall, the leg was bandaged and he
was made as comfortable as possible.
"He ate his food and was apparent
ly contented until about midnight,
when the circus began moving out OF
town. Then he became restless and
tramped and whinnied. AS the cara
vans moved past the stable he seemed
to realize that he was being deserted,
and his anxiety and distress became
pitiful. He would stand with his care
pricked In an attitude OF intense lis
tening, and then AS his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he
would rush IA 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 es-
cape. The stable man, who was
stronger 10 him, tried TO soothe him,
but TO no purpose. He would not be
comforted.
"Long after nll sounds OF the circus
had ceased his agitation continued
The sweat poured from him, and he
quivered In every part OF the body.
Finally the stable man went to his en-
ployer's house, woke him up and told
him he believed the horse would die TX
some OF the circus horses were not
brought back 10 keep him company,
At about daylight the proprietor OF
the stable mounted a horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook us ten
or twelve miles away, and, ~ had
charge of oil the horses and was much
attached TO the injured animal, re-
turned with him. When we reached
the stall the horse was dead.
"The stable man said that he re-
NAMED for nearly an hour perfectly
still and with every sense apparently
strained TO the utmost tension, and
then, without making a sign, fell and
died with scarcely struggle. The
veterinarian who was called remarked,
after the circumstances were told him,
that unquestionably the horse died
from grief."-Washington Star.

The rogucs looked Mt each other, but
swallowed the home-thrust in silence.

millty, more like charity school chill
