and a sincere apology had not cor
rectcd.

attentively just behind his master
The horse lowered his head and butted
Tom into the girl. Mix cautioned
Tony and. moving two feet from the
girl. started his explanation all over
again. But things were not moving
fast enough for TONY" and he skept
buttng his master until the couple
stood at the foot OF the slope. Then
either the girls sense of humor came
to the rescue. or the constant prodding
of Tony" added inspiration to Tom s
words. for a definite understanding
was quickly reached. TONY" with a
knowing wink that seemed to brag
about tho way h. had with the ladies'
trotted off behind the couple walking
arm in arm.
