My maternal great-grandfather, Van

horse captured from the Russian in

wis lame in one leg as the result of n
hunting accident. but withal a good
horseman when once in the saddle.
When out on his trips In the country
on business and coming home ut night.
he would frequently fall asleep in his
commodious Cossack saddle. The horse
would make bee line for home at an
easy but swift pace, Arriving there, it
would rap at tie front door with its
foot until the Waterman would open
the porch and take the old gentleman
out Of the saddle. My grandmother
told me this happened almost every
week. Horse and master understood
each other. Not being able to walk
very well, lie would hunt from horse
