Might Have Prejudice.

Acting on the advice of a pris-
oner for whom he was appearing
in London, barrister challenged
four or five jurynen on the ground
that they were prejudiced against
his client. When at last the swear
ing of the jury was completed, the
prisoner leaned over the dock and
whispered TO his ad1ocate:. "The
jury's all right, now, Oh think, but
Oh want yez to challenge the
Judge. Olive been convicted un-
der him three tonnes already, and
maybe he's beginning TO have
prejudice against me. London

make him 90 his way. Well, the
pony kept ahead, tho the arrows
came pretty close, and soon left
quite distance between him and
the redskins.
"The little fellow was flecked
with foam and blood where the
boss had cruelty spurrpd him but
bravely kept on until coming
around a small bill, he was soon
among the rest Of the men. He
was still SO mad that just as soon
as he got off the pony's hack he
grabbed all AK, then raised it in
the air to strike the pony dead.
Before the blow fell the pony
slowly sank to the ground, at the
same time turning his large, sor-
rowful eyes on the boss, gave
faint culver and was dead"
Here again the old man brushed
the tears from his eyes and [ am
not sorry to say I freely used my
own handkerchief, for l dearly
love a no SO or dos, in fact any
dumb animal.
"On examining the pony they
found two arrows imbedded on
each aide Of the saddle, which with
every motion the pony made,
caused them to 60 deeper into the
flesh, until just as he brought the
boss into safety he gave his own
life, faithful little fellow The
boss, on discovering how the little
fellow had SO molly given his life,
had large slab of wood made,
the same you see on the grave.
He carried that heavy slab three
miles to this place for penanoe-
and had the pony brought here
and buried.
"That's the story, stranger, and
every word is true as any one here
will tell you. l hope this story
will help every man to treat his
dumb animals BETTER" said the
old man, and after thanking him
very kindly he left me at the grave
alone.
Standing there alone it seemed
as if I knew the little pony and
my thoughts went back home. |

ing of JOY came over me for l felt

duty towards them. May each one
of us learn lesson, and may we
all feel that kind act, be it to-
wards man or beast Is never lost.
A little verse entitled, "Kind Acts
Not Lost" 1 think is fitting close
for this story:
THE look of sympathy, the gentle word,
Spoken so low that only angels heard.
The secret act of pure self-sacrifce,
Unseen by men, but marked
With angels eyes-these are not lost.

stopped to get fixed out. The
head man of the outfit said he
wanted to buy a bunch Of good
hosses for the men and that's how
came that slab and gravs yonder
"The young Teller who owned
Diamond and whose name was
Jack Walton, was soon surrounded
by bunch of the railroad crew,
all trying to gat his boss. Then
he got another letter soon after
the other one which stated that
his little girl was sick and dying
He didn't have enough money to
take him home, so that's how it
happened he sold his hoss. Hoses
were high at that time and $4,000
for a good one was none too much.
"The boss seeing Jacks pony
one day took a liking to him, and
asked Jack how much the pony
was worth. Diamond, said Jack,
is above price, He told the boss
he would sell him the pony on GER
tain conditions and no other way.
These were the terms: $1,000
cash, and that if within the next
six months Jack wanted the pony
back he was to return him for the
same amount. That he would
never strike or abuse the boss in
any way, but would always look to
his comfort. And said Jack,
always remember this-if you are
ever chased by Indians, let the
pony have his head and he will
surely bring you to place of safe.
| ty. And if by any chance the
pony was to die to bury him and
mark his grave
"The boss was deeply moved by
the mans love for the horse and
soon had reason to remember all
Jack had said of the pony. Twas
just about shutdown one day when
the deal was made. The pony was
standing outside the little store on
the corner. Twas there Jack took
his last farewell of Diamond"
Here the stranger brushed away
couple of tears with his rough
hands, and [ likewise had a misty
feeling in the same place. II was
standing" continued the old man,
'"about ten feet from the pony
when Jack came out. He went
over to Diamond, placed his arms
around his neck and cried like a
child. The pony whinnered and
rubbed his silky nose against
Jacks cheek, as if to comfort him.
Them two was just human. He
petted and kissed the pony for
near an hour. aud then with
great sob and the tears streaming
from his eyes he slowly staggered
away. And, stranger, I've re-
ceived a check every month to
keep that little place green, as the
memorial of his loving owner, who
comes down once every year to
view the grave.
"The boss and crew left the
next morning, as also did Jack
Walton-one going east, the other
west. The boss was strong
headed cuss said the stranger and
always wanted to have things his
own way. One day after they
were far out in the desert, which
was then close to here, the boss
got long way from the camp and
had kinder forgot just where the
camp was pitched. Anyhow, he
soon found he was not alone, for
towards the west he saw a cloud of
dust which soon turned into
bunch Of Apaches on the war
path, also to the east and south.
The pony had been uneasy for
some time bat the boss was too
busy to notice him.

| outskirts Of small town in Ari.
IONA. On the slab was carved the
picture of horses head and un-
derneath was the name "Dia-
mond," with several dates. [ was
so intent on studying the curious
grave that did not notice the ap-
proach of a stranger until he hail
ed me, saying: you seem to be
interested in that grave, stranger,
and I don't blame you. There's a
mighty fine story connected with
that little heap of ground and the
little boss that's underneath.
There amt man in this place
but what will tell you that when
that little boss was put there the
heart of one of the best men l
ever knew Was buried with him."
Knowing [ was about to hear
the story of this horse [ let the
stranger continue in his talk. And
this is the story he told, which is
true one: "Twas along in the
early times when the Injuns roam
ed all over Arizona and played the
devil with prospectors and such
like. Twas about this time a fine
looking chap came down from the
east, figuring on finding gold. He
left wife and little baby girl way
back east and came down here to
make his fortune. He stayed
around town here for a couple Of
weeks getting what he needed.
Among other things he bought
that little boss buried over yon-
der. He wasn't much for looks,
only that he had pair of great,
soft eyes, that seemed to look
right thru fellow. He was clean
limbed and was marked all over
with sort of diamo.d patches Of
different colored hair. He left one
day and was gone about three
months when he came back for a
fresh supply of grub. He said
that pony was worth his weight in
gold. About three weeks after l
left said be, I was prospecting
around, when all of a sudden a
bunch of Apaches came down on
me. left all my tools and jump
ed on Diamonds back, that's what
he called the pony, and started off.
[ knew of place, if I could reach
it, where | would be safe, and tried
to pull the pony that way, but it
seems as if the pony knew best,
for he took the bit between his
teeth and just went his own way.
It proved my salvation for where
| had intended to go bunch from
this same band of Apaches was
camped. Many other times when
fleeing from the Indians has the
pony acted the same way and al
ways brought me to place of
safety. He is the best watch dog,
I believe, in Arizona He can
smell an Indian a mile away and
can out run anything [ have ever
met
"Those were the stories he told
about the boss and he didn't lie
about it either. You can't praise
good boss enough and even if
they are broncs they know a heap
more than we give them credit for.
Well, this young Teller used to
come in every SO often and peo-
pie soon noticed how he loved that
boss. He would always give him
a lump of sugar or something
sweet just as soon as he reached
town. And, stranger, that boss
would WINNER after him all the
time he was out of bis sight. He
used to send all he made back to
his wife and baby, but he never
happened to strike it rich.

two years and everybody knows
