You had an excellent one fifteen years ago when I used to spend the summer here.” “That’s the curious thing about it,” said the driver, gazing first at his steed and then at the uneasy passenger in a mildly speculative way. “This hoss Is the very same identical hoss that *1 drove that summer. I don’t know what on earth’s the matter with him! He seems to have lost hi* animation.” 1 —London Telegraph. ~ . -
