proved sufficient only as f,pnblers.

month. Then one Gag - .-.-a penetrat-

mountain, and When he Ida followed
Il for a quarter OF mile it debouched
into cove ten acres IN extent. Water
and grass we've plentiful. and the black
horse had lived in safety, On the grass
lay the decay .ng bodies of four timber
wolves that had met death While trying
b pull him down. He had courage as
wen rs beauty.
The presence of the man drove the
horse out into the valley. ana then the
| chase was taken up. 1t began one
morning ut daylight
The chase was cruel and later on led
to quarrels wherein men lost their
lives. For tive miles each hunter pur-
suod the black horse at top speed and
then he rested. Confident of his speed
and strength. the lone horse moved OF
with defiant air. There was not n
moments rest for him all day long.
Three or four times he buried his
muzzle in the ice cold waters of the
creeks as he came to them. The COM
ing OF night gave him no relief. 1t
was moonlight and the chase still CON
tinued.
For seventy miles the black horse
held his course up the valley. Then
he turned and retraced his steps. Again
he went up the valley. but when he
had covered fifty miles he stopped and
stood at bay. He had done all that
horse could do. and more. He had
covered 100 miles Of distance almost
without breaking his gait. When he
stopped, signals were given for the
men above and below to close In, and
by and by there were dozen IN
circle around him. Lassos We're
made ready, but the men quarreled
among themselves as to who had the
best right While the war of words
was going on the black horse could
have wheeled and broken through. but
he realized that his race was run. 1t
was bright moonlight, and he stool
blowing the steam from his nostri'g.
and his head was never held higher.
His limbs trembled. but with weaS-
ness instead of fright His eyes had
lost their fire. but the race he had run
