Bagley  can't  get  his  boot  on,  and  he
                                         will  have  to  gel.  the  colt  in.        He  is

                                         standing  right in  the door of  the  stable.”

                                            Wilifred  rail  out  and  hailed  the  man
                                         as  If she  had  known  him  all  her life,
                                            “ Maloney/3  she  said,  “ Mr.  Bagley

                                         wants  you  to  go  for  the  colt         Bat  he

                                         won’t  let  you  catch  him,  and  I  think
                                         yon  had  -better  let  me  go.”

                                            “ You,  Peggy ?           Sure,  you'd        be
                                         afraid  av  the  shadder  av  the  baste,  let

                                         alone  the  rale  animal.”
                                            Although  he  declared  it  would  be

                                         useless  for  either of  them  to  go,  he  got
                                         a  box  of  oats  from  the  stable,  and  for

                                         some  time  Wilifred  watched  him  run
                                         hither  and  thither,  at  the  sport  of  the

                                         wilful  colt.
                                              I      VI  like  to  break  the  bones  av him,”

                                          Maloney  grumbled,  coming  back  to  the
