With eagerness the boy plunged Into his studies. Acting ^ as fireman and brakemant n the Collieryduring th0 day, he attended school In the evening, and even found tiloe to earn money by repairing cloaks, So diligently' did he apply himself to learning, that in two years he knew all the Schoolmaster "WHAT DO 1011 WANT?"

And when, in 1820, he so improved the "Becket that on a'fr'o' run over the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, lt. made thirty miles an hour, thereby win- ning a prize of £500, he found himself famous, He was consulted upon all railroad projects, and grew ' very Wealthy.

' He Dreamed, Too TWO little youngsters shambled. penitently., into_' the,classroom long after -the .school had opened for the morning session. . "Boys, -come to 'my desk £mmedl- ately," said the teacher. Two meek little lads walked to the teacher's desk and stood looking hstp- lessly at their feet. "Tommy, why are you lute thle morn- ing?" 'asked the teacher. "I overslept myself, - ma'am," began Tommy. "You see, teacher, I dreamed I was going to take a railroad trip. ' I just got to the station when Iwoke up an' found It was long past schooltime. "Freddy,why are you late?" inquired_ teacher, turning to the other boy. "Please, ma'am," replied the trem- bling leready, rem-bling;Freddy, "I went to the station to see Tommy off." The wlnde blew so furiously that fre- quently the sides .of hills facing the sea were worn into tall cliffs; sand would be scooped up also and thrown into Mils, 110 feet above high-water mark. Now they lett the seashore and rode toward. the Interior. Tho coarse grass which their ponies trampled rose to a height of two feet. Four or five differ- ent kinds of edible berries and flowers and shrubs grew In abundance.. "The groves of trees you see," George explained, "were planted by the Cana- dian government in 1901, both to. bind the. sell more firmly end for the purpose of, making the. island . more easily seen • from the ocean. We have a grant of 4400 a year,you know. But we make some, slight return by the saleof cran- berries and wild ponies, of which, no doubt,' you'll see a herd before very ion g, aa d byand Jim were very eager to salvage from wrecked vas - eels." Iiow vas -learn moraa out the ponies, but b this time they had reached .Lakeall W ace' extending east from theshore ten mhea and measuring twelve feet in depth at places, And - they, Immediately became interested as George showed them the breeding places of black duck in the grassy tussocks along the lake's margin, and where the Sheldrake bred In sand cliffs nearby. For a while they watched wild fowl swimming In the water. Then they rode by the burial ground at the foot of the lake, passing on to the west lookout station. From here they traveled to the .main lookout station, where, from the crow's- nest, above which a bright red English ensign hung from thefiagstak, they had a view from everyside—that is, they WOULD have had were It net that the fog hid- everything trent . sight. Ordinarily," said George, "there Would be no need for patrolling the coast 1n the 'daytime. because the man in the crow's-nest can see miles out to sea when the sky ie clear." George had just led his guests from one 01 the"buts of refuge;" built for castaways, Cid equipped with provi- sions and printed instructions for dig- ging eighteen inches or two feet in the sand to obtain fresh water, when a storm came up similar to that. In which the ladswere caught. The ponies were put 1n a gallop toward the superintendent's house, when all at once George. threw his , mount back upon its haunches. He lis- tened intently. At firstethe lade heard nothing; then a. loud Boon!" came to their ears. "A .wreck!" exelalmed George anx- iously. Immediately urgissg its pony forward at top speed, he galloped with the news to the plain station, Word was teleplloned in the other stations for the '005151: guardnmen to assemble, Within an inconceivably - 011010 space of time the lifeboat was placed upon a wagon and run ,down to. the sea. 'alien the bravo- guardsmen, after repeated en- deavors, launched the sturdy boat. For- tunately, the storm was not as violent as usual, and the ship's passengers were saved. But the boys 'were treated to. a splendid e1hibi°tlon of the men's skill in life-saving while tbe vessel was. being batteredto pieces on the tree,c11- 01005 shoals. "We've- been' having rather exciting. times round herelately," confided George to. Howard end Jim, while they were seated around the are in the men's LASSOING A PONY quarters, listening to a round 0f tales. "Tho packet boatarrives tomorrow, ; -by the way, and we'll have to rope some of the ponies." • Again Howard and Jim were going to askabout the wild ponies. As George had told them that they would' learn everything on the morrow, however, they decided to postpone their questions, especially as. It was bedtime. CHAPTER IV HOWARD BECOMES OWNER OF SABLE" B57IGHT and early next morning preparations' were - made to 'sur- round.. the wild ponies to drive them into a central pound. How- ard and Sim were attached to Goorge's party, which had to go to the south of Lake Wallace. "There are only about 200 ponies now," commented. Georgeas they rode along. "At one time I believe the horde num- bered as many as 600. But each winter some of them die, and the frightful hur- rlcenes cause a further decrease." "How did theonfes et P g upon the island in the first place7" asked How- ard. "Probably from some Spanish wreck early in the sixteenthcentury," replied George; "although it is possible that when the French tried to colonize the island in 1518 and 100? they may have left the ancestors of the pontes. There are five troops of them now, name4'after the localities of the island in which they feed. Funny thing about it, too, is that even after a round -up. those left always return to their own au gr ads. Nor R•111 the ever seek shelter in the sheds we've built for them—they're e so wild. 3 w Tough g fol - the they are! When a storm comes on, the stallion Teres the herd among the sandhiils where they're mbre or less protected; then be puts the colts In the Center and the older ponies around them, while he takes the most exposed position of all." Ater a time the party came in sight et a herd of ponles cropping the coarse grass around a fresh -water pond. As they approached nearer, the animals stopped 'grazing. Qutek)v the stallion gathered the herd together. .Placing litrnseij in the rear, he directed the re- treat, which began at a trot and soon became a swift gallop. As the lads dashed after the herd, AT THE ROUND -UP they observed the: ponies closely: Greet shaggy manes covered their big heads; an immense -bushy tail waved behind. Stronglimbed, with large shoulders, they, Indeed, looked the sturdy animals George declaredthem to be. Most were of chestnut color, although there seemed to bemany bays and .browns. In the meantime other parties of guardsmen had been rounding up the rest. of .the, panles,until all the animals were surrounded In one big pound. Now began the moat thrilling part of the performance.. Into the kicking, snorting mos s 01 -terrifiedr ho nes a guardsman would ride, 1Vihen ha had selected his victim, a lasso would deftly uncoil itself from hls hand, -In almost every ease the horse would be roped. Afterward. It would be thrown, bound, laid upon a handbarrow and trundled down to the shore, where it was placed In the surd boat and rowed off to the packet, now lying at a safe distance from shore. Howard was admiring a handsome white pony, which had been thrown after aar h d fight, when the superin- tendent approached. "White ponies are mighty uncommon," said he "andthat's a fine fe] 1o w:" "How ould youlit w like to own him?" asked he suddenlY. How would I?" exclaimed Howard. "Best thing in the worldt" Then he's yours," returned the su- perintendent smile. p t with a For the moment Howard could not as - ]leve his ears. Recovering from its as- tonishment, 11e thanked the superintend- ent again and again. Here was just such a on a been on he had b longing for Y a g1 g p —even nicer than 71m's—and now it was all his own! Indeed it was too good to be true. But it WAS true, all right enough, and the pony when back to Nova Scotia in the packet ship along with the boys, who were welcomed by their anxious relatives as those returned from the dead. People wondered at the name "Sable," which Howard gave to his pony. They thought a pony should certainly be. Week in order to possess such a name; and this pony was just as wilts as a pony could be, But after Howard told the story of how he came to own "Se.- blee—and he never tired of relating 1t— they all agreed that the name was most appropriate.
