Paul and his chums looked on these lovely animals with envious eyes, and often wished that they could capture one and enjoy a ride.

One day Stockie and Paul went to the woods at the bottom of a field that led by a gentle ascent to the farm house.

They had with them a pillow-slip half full of oats.

They were trying to induce a magnificent looking colt to approach them.

The colt was shy, but the oats were tempting.
