![A Humble Appeal]()
(The Blue Cross League, 58 Victoria Street, London, S.W., is in need of funds.)
SHE was a pretty, nicely mannered mare,
The children's pet, the master's pride and care,
Until a man in khaki came one day,
Looked at her teeth, and hurried her away.
With other horses packed into a train
She hungered for her master's voice in vain;
And later, led 'twixt planks that scare and slip,
