most up to them, and around his head,
swinging in a wide circle, was the loop
OF the RATA AS the people looked. they
saw IL fly into the air and Settle down
over the heads of the runaway horses.
The change in the Rabbit was won
derful. When the RATA shot out his
head came up, his ears were erect, and
his eyes fairly flashed. The instant the
RATA landed Francisco caught two or
three turns around the horn of the sad
de while his horse jumped stiff-legged
sideways, and brnced himself for the
strain. . .,.
The moose tightened instantly on the
necks Of the runaways, brought their
heads together, and checked, but by no
means stopped them. The rawhide
rope spun smoking around the horn OF
the saddle. and nothing but the skill OF
Francisco in letting the slack run pre-
vented him and his horse from being
overturned.
The Rabbit, still bracedI stifsly, was
p!owing the ground with all his hoofs.
The riatn ran out and the loose end
went flying. Again the Rabbit darted
ahead. Francisco, bending down,
caught both the rcins of the runaway
team and the rinta: in an instant they
were over the saddle horn, and the lit
tie mustang was again brnced and his
hoofs plowing. The jerk threw the
carriage horses down; they were up nt
once and plunging wildly, but not be-
fore the Spanish boy had leaped from
his horse and grasped each by the
bridle-the Rabbit meanwhile tugging
bravely in the opposite direction.
All this occurred in few seconds.
Strong hands grasped the refractory
breathless, dusty and bruised-for he
had not entirely escaped the striking
hoofs-was the hero Of the hour. The
Rabbit, too, came in for his full share
Of admiration. as he stood there with
painting nostrils. heaving sides and

Y That evening there was n grateful
group around the fireside Mt Mr.. Grey's
house; thankful to kind Providence
that a strong arm and cool head, joined
with trained skill, had prevented ter

treat the matter lightly. "My friends "

was empty. and the reins were drag
ging on the ground. The horses were
dashing directly towards the space in
front Of the music stand, which was
closely packed with carriages, all con-
tanning ladies' and children. AS the
team passed the Riding club, Clarence
cried out in anguish: "Oh! boys. it's
our team!" and he started after in a
vain hope that he might be able to do
something. A wall Of terror went up
from oil the spectators. Behind the fly
ing carriage came n couple of mounted
park policemen, but too far away to be
Of any assistance.
But as, they passed there came the
sharp "click. click. click" of hoofs that
hardly seemed to touch the ground,
and the Rabbit shot by like Il flash, his
ears laid back and his nose straight
out in front. He was fairly flying, and
his rider was driving the spurs at every
Jump. The horse seemed to know in
stinctively what he was going after. for

twoyear-old child ran in front, and
again n cry of horror was raised. Then

his name; n pulling lift on the bride
from his rider, and he went flying over
the child's head.
The carriage and it's occupants were

Francisco thanked her warmly. He
would gladly have risked his life for
that charming girl.
After breakfast the boys went to the
depot for "The Rabbit" Clarence was
disappointed to see medium-sized
scrubby-looking horse, blotched over
with chestnut and white-the sure
sign of Arabian ancestry still seen
among the horses Of Spanish Califor-
mans.
"a regular bronco!" was Clarence's
| mental comment. "The Rabbits" eyes
were his greatest pecuiiarity; the right
one was brown, soft and pleasant; the
left one was light blue and white
what is known as "wnll eye;" and
seen from that side a more vicious-look-
ing brute than the Rabbit could hard
| ly be found. His character was fairly
indexed by his eyes, good and pleasant
at times, unruiy and treacherous at
others
Ben. Mr.. Grey's negro coachman, was
to lead the horse home. For a block
the Rabbit walked as meekly as Il
lamb; then street car attracted his
attention.
There was n rearing and u plunge,
and the Rabbit went flying down the
street toward the depot. A sharp cry of
Runaway Look Quit" startled the
boys. and they saw the Rabbit coming
back ron the run, making vicious kicks
at every team, his ears laid back and
his teeth swapping.
Francisco ran out and called him by
name. Immediately the horse stopped
and allowed himself to be caught
Plack Ben came running up, breathless
and indignant. Again he took the hal.
ter to lead the horse away, but
the Rabbit braced himself stitliy and
refused to move.
A crowd began to gather. Clarence
was greatly mortified, but Francisco
took it as matter of course. Accost'
ing truckman, he politely asked the
loan of blacksnnlse whip. Taking the
halter from Ben, he laid the whip
over the Rabbits head and flanks most
numerically. To the surprise of the
spectators, the horse made little effort
to escape the blows. Finally, giving
the halter back to Ben, Francisco
slapped the Rabbit under the flank and
spoke sharply: "Auda, pronto!" The
horse Immediately stepped of. Hell
go all right now" said Francisco.
The next two days were spent IN
sight seeing, and to the Spanish lad i;
seemed as If all the wonders of the
world were to be viewed. On Saturday
afternoon the riding club were tc

The riders started, and the Rabbit

others.
