Cook-house Charlie, leader of the cowboys, took it upon himself to see that the child had a rollicking good time. He played the bucking broncho and Tommy the rider. There was plenty of candy and other good things to eat. But the day proved too strenuous for the little fellow. The hot sun gave him a sudden stroke, and he fainted. Great excitement prevailed at the outfit. The doctor was called from ten miles distant and pronounced the case extremely serious. He endeavored to give the child medicine, but Tommy absolutely refused to take it. He groped for something other than medicine, and still groping, fell off into unconsciousness. Dejection was written upon the faces of all the boys. They were at the end of their resources. It took little sister Nell to fathom the child's mind, to understand what it groped for, because Nell alone knew Tommy's favorite plaything. The girl mounted a horse and galloped fifteen miles to the nearest store, to purchase Tommy's rocking horse. It was an exciting ride, during which there were many narrow escapes from fatality, but it proved most fruitful for Tommy, for when all medicine had failed, the rocking horse brought the little favorite back to consciousness and through the crisis.
