'It
didn't
matter;
he
had
lost
his
job
anyway.'
He
tramped
away
from
the
city.
He
took
the
train
at
the
nearest
station
and
travelled
some
hours,
and
now
he
was
in
Rabbit
country
again.
The
sun
had
long
gone
down;
the
night
with
its
stars
was
over
the
plain
when
among
the
farms,
the
Osage
and
alfalfa,
Mickey
Doo
opened
the
box
and
gently
put
the
Warhorse
out.
Grinning
as
he
did
so,
he
said:
"Shure
an'
it's
ould
Oireland
thot's
proud
to
set
the
thirteen
stars
at
liberty
wance
moore."
For
a
moment
the
Little
Warhorse
gazed
in
doubt,
then
took
three
or
four
long
leaps
and
a
spy-hop
to
get
his
bearings.
Now
spreading
his
national
colors
and
his
honor-marked
ears,
he
bounded
into
his
hard-won
freedom,
strong
as
ever,
and
melted
into
the
night
of
his
native
plain.
He
has
been
seen
many
times
in
Kaskado,
and
there
have
been
many
Rabbit
drives
in
that
region,
but
he
seems
to
know
some
means
of
baffling
them
now,
for,
in
all
the
thousands
that
have
been
trapped
and
corralled,
they
have
never
since
seen
the
star-spangled
ears
of
Little
jack
Warhorse.
