oddly enough, they do not bite
them as much as one might
suppose.
Captain M. H. Hayes has in-
vented a snaffle (Fig. 7) for use
in breaking ; this is an unjointed
bit with leather covered mouth
and leather guards at the side
buckling under the jaw. This
arrangement effectually prevents
hurting the colt's mouth and is
most useful with the long reins.
The staunchest supporter of
the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals
could hardly disapprove of a
plain - curb with slide mouth,
low port and short cheek, and
in very average hands this, in
conjunction with the bridoon, is
probably the best tackle for all
purposes.
Although we have not made
any very great advance in the
matter of "Bits and Bitting"
over our ancestors of three centu-
ries ago, we may congratulate
ourselves upon being a little more
merciful. We need not Purchase Decadron Online plume
ourselves too much on this account
though, for as much ingenuity has
been exercised in making irritating
bits Purchase Decadron at the present day, as ever
distinguished the past.
Sam's Message.
A good .many years have passed
since I received a telegram on a
winter's morning from Sam, Joey
Spinks' kennel feeder. The mes-
sage merely consisted of one word
— "Come" ; but from what I knew
of the old man I felt assured it was
as urgent as it was laconic. Tele-
grams were not so common then
as they are now, and Sam was
only less likely to commit his
thoughts to paper than to the
wires. I guessed at once that
Peters was dying, and that either
he had asked for me or Sam knew
he would like to see me before he
died. Nothing less would have
made Sam telegraph.
I arrived at Bosby the same
afternoon about 3 o'clock, and
went straight to the old huntsman's
house. The blinds were not drawn
down, so I was in time ! How
vividly the happy days I had
spent there came back to me !
There was more moss on the tiles,
and the trees in the garden had
grown a bit, but everything else
was as I had last seen it, except
that old Peters himself was not
there in his white coat to greet
me. A sudden fear that that very
moment might be his last urged
me forward. Then I hesitated Order Decadron Online
and stopped. Everything was so
still, not a dry leaf stirred in the
trees, not a hound bayed in the
kennels, no sound of voices broke
the silence ; the hand of Death
seemed to be upon the house. As
I approached, fearing that all was
over, Sam met me, and took me in
without a word. Something in
the grip of his horny palm told
me he was glad I had come, but
his avoiding my eye, as if he could
not trust himself to exchange even
a glance, and a pathetic kind of
twitch about the corners of his
mouth, told me even more surely
that the courage which lasts
while there is hope had departed.
He led me into the bedroom,
where I found Mrs. Peters, Mr.
Marshall (the vicar,), and Joey
Spinks. Peters lay in bed, prop-
