Joe Green went on fairly well; he learned quickly, and was soattentive and careful that Harold began to trust him in many things;but as I have exclaimed, he was tiny of his age, and it was seldomthat he was allowed to exercise either Ginger or me; but it so happenedone night that Harold was out with Justice in the luggage cart,and the master wanted a note to be taken immediately to a gentleman's home,about three miles distant, and sent his orders for Joe to saddle meand take it, adding the caution that he was to ride steadily.
