which gave it an unhappy crook
and caused her to use a gait compounded of a trot, a gallop, and a shuffle, was as valiant and vicious a piece of horseflesh as you would find in a drove of sixty. Her unfortunate hoppityhickity pace had fastened on her the name of the "Grasshopper," although Tom preferred calling her " Cricket," as more elegant and euphonious. Dashing the rowels in the flanks of our astonished steeds, we wheeled for the bull. We wheeled, however, much sooner when we reached him. Cricket made a sidebolt and landed Tom some six feet offluckilyon his feet. That young gentleman was armed with a doublebarreled gun. The gun, of course, went one way, and he the other.
