Now this horse has a curious habit, when standins, of iiultins a foot out, to rest apn&ientir a« if it were paining Dim, ilion-h'as a matter of fact he is finite staunch. In the street the inspector or the Animals’ Protection Society stopper, the carter and ordered Kina to late the horse off the street. The carter demurred, and after eomt barney the horse was taken to a veterinary surgeon, who pronounced him quite fit for work. Ihe inspector thou learned to whom the horse belonged, and remembered hi® trick. Meanwhile the carter had bee a nut to inconvenience and loss winch could not oo muae up.
