On the south side by heavy woods. The

RuckIna Horses.

A touch of the spur or flick OF the
quirt signals the start. says the Ameri.
can Magazine, in an article on our
western horses. His knowledge Of
what to do must be a heritage from
his ancestors, for all horses do It, and
all American wild horses are sprung
from horses that once carrieds men.
He pops down his head and leVitates
straight heavenward. While he and
you are high in the air he arches his
back and stifrens his body to iron rig.
idly. Thus he comes back to earth
The sensation to the rider is as If his
spinal column had been struck by a
piledriver. The impression is not an
alyzed at the time, for the horse goes
into the air again Immediately. He
swings to right or left, or he changes
ends" completely while in the air, and
you come down facing southward,
whereas you were facing northward
when you assembled.
