Before the summer storm had impetuously spent itself, the friends were crowded companionably in the feed-box, feeding the reassured Gypsy peppermint sticks Tess had met Arthur Simpson on her way to the Library and talking earnestly. The earnest talk was born of an illustration Tess had seen in a magazine at the Library.
Also, having grown to a size equal to the brown saddler, he began to reveal his antipathy for this animal. Not only would he shoulder him away from the feed-box, but he would kick and snap at him, and once he tipped over the water-pail for no other reason, seemingly, than to deprive the saddler of water.
She resisted the stable for some time, but after carefully examining it with her hoofs and an affectedly meek outstretching of her nose, she consented to recognize some oats in the feed-box without looking at them and was formally installed. All this while she had resolutely ignored my presence. As I stood watching her, she suddenly stopped eating; the same reflective look came over her.
Cuba looked mildly astonished as the plump figure of the little girl appeared above his feed-box. "I 've 'most got it!" cried Australia, reaching as high as possible, and getting her forefinger over the edge of the big can. At this juncture Cuba, whose nose had doubtless been tickled by Australia's apron-string, gave a prodigious sneeze.
Who's Who showed himself even better than Polaris in this game. He did not permit any wriggling away, but bored joyfully into the scrimmage as if he had his nose in a feed-box and was looking for something nice. Little Shikast jumped on the ball the minute it got clear, and every time an Archangel pony followed it, he found Shikast standing over it, asking what was the matter.

This immunity of theirs distilled the more bitterness in her heart because gossip was now at the heels of her and Mr. Copple, following them as chickens do the feed-box. She knew it from such transmissions as, "But doubtless Mr.
However, the visitors soon got wise, and in about half an hour the boys who had callers would be proudly showing their friends, by the name above the feed-box, that the previous occupant of their quarters was the famous "Highflyer," winner of scores of cups, etc.
He learned to avoid the mare's whisking tail, to shun or remove molesting flies, to keep away from the mare when she was at the feed-box. All of which told of his uncommon strain, as did the rapidity with which he gained strength, which last told of his tremendous vitality, and which some day would serve him well against trouble.
She saw the soldiers conduct the prisoner in grey into the barn, and for a long time she watched the three chatting guards and the pondering sentry. Upon her mind in desolate weight was the recollection of the three men in the feed-box. It seemed to her that in a case of this description it was her duty to be a heroine.
"'When you go back to the track will you put me wise so I can win? she says. "'You bet I will, girlie! I says. 'Any time I cut loose a good thing you gets the info right from the feed-box. "De Mott keeps noticin' us stickin' together. He's talkin' to her once when I'm passin' by. "'He's on the square, she says pretty loud. 'And that's more than you can say about a lot of people I know.
