STEEPLE-CHASING.
This is the picture the Quill then presented to Jimmieboy's astonished gaze.
"Humph!" said Jimmieboy. "It looks like two men on horseback running after something, but what, I'm sure I don't know."
"What does it look like?" asked the Quill.
"Nothing that I ever saw."
"Nonsense!" returned the Pen. "Does it look like a fox, or a Chinese laundry, or a what?"
"It doesn't look like any of 'em," insisted Jimmieboy.
"Dear me! How dull you are!" cried the Quill. "Why, boy, it's a church steeple, that's what. Now what is the whole thing a picture of?"
"A steeple-chase!" cried Jimmieboy.
