And his driver has learned to rely upon his more than] usual intelligence in the inatter. When I`ltallk'S shoes need tighten- ing or new shoes are needed, he re-I [uses to work. He shakes his head and settles down for it long w.nit unless his driver sends him alone to the blacksvniith shop adjoining the luamher yard. Frank's wisdom is not questioned, and when .he refuses tol pull, his driver unhvitche-s him and awn-y the horse goes to the black-I smith shop, and the bliacksmith knows why he is there.
