chateau proper, a great quadrangle as

with q great cylindrical tower more

walls nearly five yards thick.
Then came the final defense, the

HORSES THAT GO FISHING
Strange Breed Of Half-WiId Horses in
North Carolina Catch Fish
at Low Tide.

Along Albemarle sound on the North
Carolina coast, there is mile after mile
OF low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except a coarse grass, a few
saltwater weeds and wild parsley, says
an exchange. On these banks lives a
strange breed Of half-wild horses,
known as banker ponies" These crea-
lures are generally about twice the
size OF Shetland ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive
the bankers" into pens, brand the
foals with the proper mark, and catch
some of the older animals to sell to
the dealers. North Caroliaans say
that the beasts must be starved into
eating grain, hay or grass, for they
nave always lived on the rank marsh
grass of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish themselves at
low tide; with their hoofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high wa
ter mark; when the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are
stranded in these holes. Often they
