BIRDS WHICH CARRY DISPATCHES

Catching the Wild Horses Which In
habit the Place of Wrecks.
When the supply of horses runs
low in Nova Scotia an expedition goes
to Sable Island, rounds up a herd Of
wild ponies. selects the best of the
lot, lassoes them and transports them
to the mainland and captivity. Most
persons know Sable Island as one of
the places where the transatlantic
liners are picked up ty wireless and
reported. and also as the place of
shipwrecks, but the wild horses con-
stitute an interesting feature of it.
Sable Island is about 100 miles
southeast of Cape Canso. It is often
confused with Cape Sable Island,
which is the southwestern extremity
Of Nova Scotia. 1t doesn't At I'm with
ones ideas of horse ranch, i'm fact

waste, but IL has about 200 square

which the heroine or Domremy heard
nevertheless tho same metal vibrates
