very probably they are right. What
would the Laplander be were he de-
priyed Of his favorite? How could he
travel without his pair Of reindeer
harnessed to his sledge?
The reindeer has large black hOofs,
behind which are false or secondary
hoofs; the result is that when running
they make a gathering sound. which
may be heard a good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes long journey without seeming
tired. though It IS only about four and
a half feet in height and not very
strong. It's horns are long and slender
with branched. rounded antlers, but
they are not much used In combat, like
those Of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather is coolest. aud their color
Is lighter. Usually it is brown and
white, but IN the case Of old animals
the hair Is sometimes quite white.
