I found that he could not bear the idea of his servant riding on a long march while his lieutenant went a-foot. He had found a mustang, a three-year old colt only recently captured, which had been purchased by one of the colored servants with the regiment for the sum of three dollars.
"Commencement day" always reminds me of the start for the "Derby," when the beautiful high-bred three-year olds of the season are brought up for trial. That day is the start, and life is the race. Here we are at Cambridge, and a class is just "graduating." Poor Harry! he was to have been there too, but he has paid forfeit; step out here into the grass back of the church; ah! there it is:
His boyhood was as that of other boys of the city; an era of happiness and happiness has no history. He was considered a good boy as boys go; and good boys have few adventures. Although John never attended Sunday School except when his mother made him as she was a Presbyterian, he wore the honor pin for an unbroken three-year attendance.
"How old are you, Captain Sam?" "Oh, I dunno, I ain't kep' count." "Are you seventy?" "I swan! I dunno." "Well, you were on the Old Dove with Skipper Jimmie Stone, weren't you?" "Sartin." "You were on the Constitution, when she fought the Guerriere, weren't you?" How could he deny it? "Well, weren't you with Captain Lovett on four of his three-year trading voyages to Australia and China?"
It was a three-year job for even a first offender, ten for one already on nodding terms with the police and fifteen to twenty for well, say, for a man like you, Weasel IF HE WERE CAUGHT! Am I making myself quite plain?" The colour in the Weasel's cheeks faded a little his eyes were holding in sudden fascination upon Jimmie Dale. "I see that I am," observed Jimmie Dale pleasantly.
He was well looked after; for a little lad of about seven years old had his hand on the rein and was solemnly looking up into his face; on his back, withal, was a girl of fourteen, holding a three-year old sister on before her; while another girl, about a year older than the boy, hung on behind.
Perhaps he was a son of Hanover, but Hanoverian or no, he was a thoroughbred. In the ordinary course of events he would have been tried out with the other three-year olds for the big meet on Churchill Downs. In the hands of a good trainer he might have carried to victory the silk of some great stable and had his name printed in the sporting almanacs to this day.
Once within the wood in the deepening dusk I seemed to leave the bogies behind. Not far through the pines the path brought me to a halt cleared hollow where three-year sprouts mingle their lush aspirations with scattered growth seeded half a century ago. A lone deer seems to make this spot a sanctuary.
Of all the companies doing a general business in the East, the Guardian had come through least scathed, its withers unwrung. Thanks to the raiding of its Boston business by the Salamander, the Guardian's loss, which was confined wholly to three-year and five-year lines unexpired, would not much exceed, according to Smith's computation, $100,000, even if all its claims were adjusted as total.
If men were dealt with like other live stock, a contractor might undertake to deliver at Long Wharf a cargo of three-year old human colts and fillies of almost any required standard of development and health, in five years from date.
