Old Dobbin Wins By OMA TARPLEY. (Continued from last week.) 1 went back to my chair under the the maple, but I kept wonder in’ where old Dobbin could be. That feather seemed to haunt me. At last I knew. Azalea had blue feathers in her headgear that she wears when she rides. It all seemed plain to me now and 1 wondered that I had not thought before. Azalea had disobeyed me. She had dared ta take old Dobbin against my will. But when a fel ler gets sleepy he is apt to forget all his troubles and fall dead asleep. I did. I wuz dozzing along first rate when that blamed telephone set up a yell that would ’er waked the saints, much less me. I didn’t hanker after one of them things to start on; it was Azalea’s idea. Until that day I hadn’t tried my luck talking through the thing. I jerked down that part you hold to your ear and kept hollerin’ “Hello” louder and louder every time. Wall, after a while I caught a voice saying, skeered like, “Tell Mr. Gaston that his horse is hurt worse than we thought and to ask him to come out to Grandview di rectly.” Well, I remembered afterwards that I left the receiver. 1 believe that’s the thing hanging down, maybe it hit again’ the table, I dunno. 1 grabbed my hat and was rid ing over the hill to Grandview afore I hardly come to myself at all. When I got there I saw a crowd all gathered aroun’ old Dobbin. He wuz laying down, in the road and when I just looked at him, I says, “Old Dobbin, you’re done for.” I kept looking for Azalea to ap pearNipon the scene, but seemed like nobody didn't know where she wuz at all. 1 heard horses’ hoofs hitting the road and I raised up and looked. Splitting down the road like mad came a feller I didn’t know. When he got even with the spot where old Dobbin lay he got off’u that horse like lightning. He or dered the around like he’s hired to. 1 didn’t mind jes’ so he got old Dobbin on his feet again, and that’s jes’ what he did quick er’n any horse doctor I ever seed. Old Dobbin was looking right smart pearter when Azalea came up, tired and red in the face. Aft er found out how she had rid to town after that horse doctor and let him have her horse while she rode her two feet I felt right sorry for Azalea. Course I didn’f forget she had give me lots of trouble, but she looked so brave looking and I knowed she wuz ’bliged to be tir^d. “1 see,” commented Paxton Dai ley, “Old Dobbin won life over death. I admire his choice.” Not at all, not at all, old Dobbin is a thorough bred; he didn’t stop with jes’ living. As I wuz saying, Azalea walked back from town and seemed pow erful put out about the horse. She told me with real tears in her tyes how sorry she wuz. Old Dobbin tho’ didn’t ’low' a stumble would lay him out. He got well faster’n any horse 1 ever seed and i'.ow lie’s peart as ever. But going back to that horse doctor seemed like he jes’ took a liking to Azalea from the start. But you wuz at the weeding; there ain’t no use in me telling that over. They say they’re mighty happy and without even considering me they lay it all to the horse. SUBSCRIBE for THE WEEKLY Greenwood. Last Week’* Items.
