belonged to a farmer who before he- he fore tore trusting the outfit to Mr Fairchild Fairchild Fair Fair- child asked him whether he was nn on experienced driver Mr FaIrchild assured assured as os- the farmer he had been around with horses a n great deal but neglected to mention that It had been with the artillery during the war when he lie rode the caisson and others other handled the horses Still all nil went well Mr Ir Fairchild Fair Fair- chI child hI got his family Into the sleigh and 1 l' l ei farmer handed him the lie reins clucked In lu the approved fa fashion which 1 threw the animal Into first M speed eed and ond away they went The horse took them for tor a aery ery very nice ride and brought them back safely It was then that the difficulty developed S e e The farmer wasn't around but his small boy said his father tather had hod told him to ask Mr Fairchild just to unhitch the time horse and tie him up In the stall In the barn It seems that when you stood this horse It seemed about the size of ot a small elephant which nade made some of ot the buckles and things hard to reach rench Rut Hut Mr Fairchild Fair Fair- child undid them nil all nil except that he be kept the bridle and reins Intact When he had hod managed to get the horse out of the shafts and all nil the other straps strops and things off oft the horse he be realized he never ne had known how many parts there were to 10 one horses horse's harne harness Taking the reins Into the barn he passed them around a n post pst at nt a corner orner of the stall Then by walking away with them a them a good deal as you might hoist a mainsail mainsail mainsail-he be pulled the horse Into shelter without taking Inking a chance of ot being stepped on That wn was a 0 smart Idea ns os when the horse reached the post It automatically put on the brakes This accomplished Mr Ir Fairchild Fairchild Fair Fair- child who was now out In the yard returned to the barn bam Being careful to permit no stack slack he wound the reins rein half n a dozen times around the lie post and tied a good firm knot He Ile Ie then lien went out again and collected the pieces of harness barnel's and laid lah them on the lie floor under under un un- der some pegs pees where other harness y was wn hanging lie Ill had paid the farmer farm er lr In advance ad so he didn't wait walt for fur him to come back But Hut he
