THE HERO'S HORSE 91 



the forest, Sir Galahad on his quest, and last of all the rider 

 Death on his pale white horse. 



One thing is certain. No other animal has met death 

 so often in company with man. Many and many a good 

 soldier and true has given up his life for cause or country 

 with his head resting on a dead horse. 



Yes ! The hero always had his horse ! That it may be 

 a motor car in the future does not alter the debt of gratitude 

 man owes and has owed from the beginning of time to the 

 willing slave of his pleasures and his pain.
