the programme repeated and the work con-
tinues until, without having had food or
since the hunt began, the starved and weary
mustangs totter along, almost as tame as
house dogs.
When reduced to this condition, sapped OF
that gay, brisk nature which distinguished
them at first, the hunters turn their dropping
heads to the corral and drive them in, as un-
resisting as sheep.
When solitary hunter wants to capture
wild horse, the favorite method is creasing.
The mustanger, finding the watering place
of the band, puts himself in ambush. Wltn
his rife ready he lies down in his covert,
awaiting the coming of the ponies.
Along toward the close of the hot alter
noon the trampling of the eager hoofs OF
the thirsty band is heard. Led on by some
wise stallion, they come tumbling down, and
bend their free, wild necks to the element,
selecting some young and well muscled mare,
his rifle comes to his shoulder; for second
his practiced eye ranges the sights, and then
a puff of smoke, ''bangl" and mustang is
sprawling and kicking convulsively in the
mud and water.
Before it can recover, the hunter runs for
ward and buckles a pair of hobbies on its
fore legs and nooses lariat to its neck. In
two minutes the pony regains consciousness
and its feet, but the hobbies and the lariat
make the hunters title sure.
"Creasing" requires skill with the rifle
and an accurate knowledge of horse ana
tony The bullet is made to Craze the spinal
column we'll upon the neck. Ii it strikes too
low, the spine is broken and the pony, is a
thing of the past; if too high, it results in
nothing but a wounded pony. flying with
frightened feet, but if placed Alright, the shot
simply stuns for few minutes.> The pony
drops as if struck in the head with maui,
and will remain unconscious about two MIN
utes-time enough to secure it.
Another method is to run the mustang
down, but only Indians seem capable of this
feat Of endurance. To do so. it is necessary
for hunter to be able to run hundred
miles without stopping for rest or refresh
ment and no white mustanger can do that.
The time selected is after light snow, on
account of the plain, open trail it leaves, IN
event of the horse getting out of sight dur
ing the chase.
The Indian carries no weapons and wears
the lightest possible clothing. He selects his
victim, "cutting it OUT of the. herd, and
chases it in a straight line up hill and down
dale, across streams, among rocks; where
the mustang goes, the Indian goes, tireless
and relentless as fate
At last broken in spirit and strength, The
mustang is unable to take another step and.
is taken prisoner. Unless far stronger than
usual, the mustang will be run down within
the first fifty miles,

Davy was so overcome by the sight that for
"a time he could do nothing but wiring his
hands and moan.
When he recovered little, he went out in
to the moonlight and for a long time paced
restlessly backward and forward in the yard.
Tired out, he at last lay down near the broken
gate and was soon sleeping soundly.
He was awakened by hand grasping his
shoulder. He looked up, quite forgetful of
where be was.
The sun was shining above the pines. his
grandmother and two men stood by him, and
a. pair of horses and light wagon were near
the gate.

listened with eager interest.

out of reach of wild elephants, who are apt
TO be uncomfortably inquisitive in the night

The Kanikaras are great hunters, and their
weapons are commonly bows and arrows,
though some of them have very poor match
locks.
All elephants are the property of the Ma
harajah of the Travancore province, where
they live, and the Kings of the Jungle are
required toi help hunt the elephant when his
highness wants little ivory.
They wear nothing but a narrow loin-cloth
and few ornaments, and bead necklaces

That was a long day to Davy-the longest

He looked toward home, hoping he might
see a light in the little window; but no sucn
cheering sight greeted him. The absence OF
that light was ominous.

Davy withdrew to respectful distance, and
Selma, scarcely knowing what to think of his
strange story, vanished into the house. She
soon reappeared, placed the victuals on the
log, as requested, and hurried of in the di-
rection of Baldwin.
Davy was hungry, and the food had quite a
cheering effect. He ate as he ran, not forget

HE history of the wild horse Of Amer
ica is rather curious. Horses In .
wild state have been found on the
plains of Asia from time immemor-
ial, and that portion of the globe
is generally credited with being their birth
place, although Africa and Europe also claim
the horse as indigenous.
But the horse was unknown in America
until introduced by the early Spanish con-
querors and explorers. They increased 80
rapidly that in the course Of a century or
two, bands of wild horses roamed over Mexi-
co, then spreading into Texas and the other
Southwestern States.
With the rapid advance OF civilization dur
ing the past fifty years the wild horse has
either been killed, captured or driven back
into old Mexico, until now a band OF mus
tangs is almost as much q rarity as herd OF
buffalo.
few bands still roam the Staked Plains
in Texas, and they are now and then cap
tured by hunters who call themselves mus
hangers" There are several modes of cap
tnre. II the hunters are ambitious and
want to make a wholesale haul, they make
their preparations with great care. The
necessities consist of corral. built in a
locality known to be frequented by wild
horses, provision wagon and team and
three experienced hunters.
When all is ready the three hunters divide
the time into as many watches" of eight
hours each One drives the wagon, the
second sleeps in the wagon and the third
walks" the mustangs.
Walking mustangs is simple. The theory
of the hunt is to keep the wild ponies on
the walk. night and day, without food or
water, until they are exhausted. As far as
may be, they are walked in circle so as to
be near the corral intended as the final goal
of this go-as-you-please match agaist nature.
The process is this:
The hunters, with their wagon, drive in
sight of the mustangs and the first man
takes their trail on foot For eight hours he
walks after them, keeping them constantly
on the move, and as much as possible from
feeding and from water. This last ia not SO
difficult in a land where watering places are
exceptional.
In the beginning the foolish mustang kicks
UP his joyous heels and curvets about, tossing
his name in contempt OF this solitary slow
pursuit; but, as the hours wear ON and the
dusty plodder is not to be shaken off,. the
fugitives become less gay. They sober down
to walk and are not SO prone to light and
frivolous exercises
