There is just as much jockeying at a Kaskado coursing as at a Kaskado horse-race, just as many attempts at fraud, and it is just as necessary to have the judge and slipper beyond suspicion. The day before the next meet a man of diamonds saw Irish Mickey by chance. A cigar was all that visibly passed, but it had a green wrapper that was slipped off before lighting.
He has been seen many times in Kaskado, and there have been many Rabbit drives in that region, but he seems to know some means of baffling them now, for, in all the thousands that have been trapped and corralled, they have never since seen the star-spangled ears of Little jack Warhorse. It was dusk on Hallowe'en when first I saw him.
How it ended he did not know or seek to learn, but it was remarkable that he never afterward was troubled by the swift Greyhound that formerly lived in Newchusen. Hard times and easy times had long followed in turn and been taken as matters of course; but recent years in the State of Kaskado had brought to the Jack-rabbits a succession of remarkable ups and downs.
This was the one whose adventures we have been following, the one that later on the turf won the name of Little Warhorse and that afterward achieved a world-wide fame. Ancient tricks of his kind he revived and put to new uses, and ancient enemies he learned to fight with new-found tricks. When a mere baby he discovered a plan that was worthy of the wisest Rabbit in Kaskado.
