“Eureka’s a funny name for a cat,” he remarked.

“I named my kitten that because I found it,” she explained. “Uncle Henry says ‘Eureka’ means ‘I have found it.’ ”

“All right; hop in.”

She climbed into the buggy and he followed her. Then the boy picked up the reins, shook them, and said “Gid-dap!”

The horse did not stir. Dorothy thought he just wiggled one of his drooping ears, but that was all.

“Gid-dap!” called the boy, again.

The horse stood still.

“Perhaps,” said Dorothy, “if you untied him, he would go.”

The boy laughed cheerfully and jumped out.
