A very remarkable incident
in the history of the original
Bush Messenger illustrates that
though abuse may seem to, it
does not wholly destroy the l»el«
ter nature,and that one touch of
kindm s> ealls into life all the
old virtues. \ ears after he was

his old favorite, whom he found
in a pasture surrounded by a
fence ten feet high, through a
hole in which the l^od and water
were pa>se<l to Messenger as if
he were “a dangerous ew'ict?’
Mr. Bush w as warned not to en­
ter the enclosure for his very
life, but he went in and, unob­
served, concealed himself be»
hiud a tree and whistled. The
horse raced around the pasture,
and when at the height of hia
run Mr. Bush exposed himself
and whistled again, Messenger
wheeled ami made directly for
him, while the onlookers tremb­
led in terror. But instead of
seeking to kill, the horse came
up gently and laid his head over
hie old master's shoulder to re­
ceive the customary cares*.
When Mr. Bush’s time for de­
parture had come, he had pro­
ceeded out a few yards from the
enclosure when there was a crash
and out Messenger came, bound­
ing through the strong bars.
He followed his former owimrto
the stable gently, whffre he wax
secured by strong ropes and for
a long, long distance noon the
road homeward Mr. Bush could
hear the noble animal neighing,
lashing the stall and struggling
to be free and follow. It is *
good thing for a man to be mas­
ter of his horse, but to lie mas­
ter of his affections is an absol­
utely noble thing.
