When
a
mere
baby
he
discovered
a
plan
that
was
worthy
of
the
wisest
Rabbit
in
Kaskado.
He
was
pursued
by
a
horrible
little
Yellow
Dog,
and
he
had
tried
in
vain
to
get
rid
of
him
by
dodging
among
the
fields
and
farms.
This
is
good
play
against
a
Coyote,
because
the
farmers
and
the
Dogs
will
often
help
the
Jack,
without
knowing
it,
by
attacking
the
Coyote.
But
now
the
plan
did
not
work
at
all,
for
the
little
Dog
managed
to
keep
after
him
through
one
fence
after
another,
and
Jack
Warhorse,
not
yet
full-grown,
much
less
seasoned,
was
beginning
to
feel
the
strain.
His
ears
were
no
longer
up
straight,
but
angling
back
and
at
times
drooping
to
a
level,
as
he
darted
through
a
very
little
hole
in
an
Osage
hedge,
only
to
find
that
his
nimble
enemy
had
done
the
same
without
loss
of
time.
In
the
middle
of
the
field
was
a
small
herd
of
cattle
and
with
them
a
calf.
There
is
in
wild
animals
a
curious
impulse
to
trust
any
stranger
when
in
desperate
straits.
The
foe
behind
they
know
means
death.
There
is
just
a
chance,
and
the
only
one
left,
that
the
stranger
may
prove
friendly;
and
it
was
this
last
desperate
chance
that
drew
Jack
Warhorse
to
the
Cows.
It
is
quite
sure
that
the
Cows
would
have
stood
by
in
stolid
indifference
so
far
as
the
Rabbit
was
concerned,
but
they
have
a
deep-rooted
hatred
of
a
dog,
and
when
they
saw
the
Yellow
Cur
coming
bounding
toward
them,
their
tails
and
noses
went
up;
they
sniffed
angrily,
then
closed
up
ranks,
and
led
by
the
Cow
that
owned
the
Calf,
they
charged
at
the
Dog,
while
Jack
took
refuge
under
a
low
thorn-bush.
The
Dog
swerved
aside
to
attack
the
Calf,
at
least
the
old
Cow
thought
he
did,
and
she
followed
him
so
fiercely
that
he
barely
escaped
from
that
field
with
his
life.
