FRIENDSHIP. 



A beautiful race horse became 

 very much attached to a cat. 

 So much so that he was never 

 happy unless the cat was near 

 him, either sleeping curled up on 

 his back or somewhere in his 

 stall. They became such close 

 companions that when the horse 

 was taken abroad to run in some 

 races for which he had been en- 

 tered, he became so dejected at 

 being separated from his com- 

 panion that it was found nec^ 

 essary that the cat should always 

 accompany him in his horse-box 

 wherever he went.
