Two girls on a driving trip with a friendly horse named Jim stop at an inn with many brown horses. A drunken stable keeper misidentifies Jim among many white-nosed browns until the handlers insist they know him by name and expression. The stable owner declares Jim the worst in the yard and they never recover him. Everybody’s Magazine.
