her. We tried to lead him off to where
the other horses were waiting - and
back went those little ears in danger
signal.
The doctor stood on the hospital
steps admiring the horse and observ-
ing his attentions to Edith. We
thought the stallion merely wished to
prolong his stay. But there seemed to
be something else. The stallion wasn't
satisfied. He had the unmistakable
air of one disappointed or impatient.
Edith finally turned to the doctor.
do you suppose he knows there's a
baby?"
II wish knew just how much that
horse does know" the doctor replied.

candy or salt for him, and the man
did not live who could lead that horse
away from her while they were having
their little love feast. He would nose
her affectionately, and she would rub
and pat him in return.
Edith was a real cowgirl as we'll as
charming woman. She could ride and
rope with the best of men. In her
hands the wild stallion became as
quick and swift as the wind. But all
at once the horse seemed to lose his
stride. He refused to be in a hurry
when Edith rode him, yet he was still
creased lightning when the men rode
him.
The wild horse knew the truth.
Edith was to become a mother. He
sensed it long before any of us did, and
was doing his duty.
As time went on Edith rode less.
Winter came and deep blanket of
snow covered the high country. All
roads we're blocked. and but one trail
was kept open between the ranch and
town. a distance of five and half
miles. About forty-five days ahead of
time. the doctor ordered Edith to the
hospital. She had to ride a horse to
get there. and would ride no other
than the stallion, though he had been
used very little that winter and was
not shod.
There had been slight thaw on the
sunny side of the mountain. Water
had filled the trail - water that had
frozen again and was covered with
snow. The horse could not have COW
cred that trail barefooted without
slipping. He did slip. with Edith on
his back. But instead of struggling to
keep his feet he lay DOM as gently
as he could
Edith got off. The horse floundered
about until off the ice; then he got up
and went straight to the girl and
nosed her. Her husband helped her
back into the saddle. and she rode into
town without further mishap.
l saw that with my own eyes. The
question is. did that horse deliberately
lie down because he was afraid he
would injure the girl? And did he 60
and smell of her to see if she'd been
hurt? I believe he did. l can see no
other explanation of those actions.
We took the horse back to the
ranch, but he missed Edith. We did
everything she ever did - and more
to please him. but he continued to
nicker and grieve for her.
The baby. boy, was born; mean
while, we had shod the stallion. When
the order came at last that Edith
could come home, we had the stallion
waiting at the hospital door. While
her things were being packed, Edith
came out to see her horse, and as
usual had something for him. He ate
the cookies and kept smelling about

appreciate the Importance and mir
aculous delicacy of scent among wild
animals. And the same thing applies
to domestic stock
A female animal will not as a rule
mother any young but her own. A
mother bear that finds orphan cubs
will mother and rear them as her own
when she already has brood. But
she never assumes the care OF living
mothers cubs.
When sheep or stock men have

an orphan which they want raised.
they skin the dead young one and
stretch the skin over the orphan. The
scents will be conflicting, but there
will be enough Of the original young
to lure the mother to the orphan.
When she becomes accustomed to the
orphans scent the skin is removed.
Animals are able to discern by scent
when female is approaching the time
of motherhood. They are by nature
very considerate Of pregnancy - even
among humans - and at so early
time that doctors might not then be
sure. This consideration for the un-
born is especially noticeable among
horses, both wild and domesticated.
Years ago there was wild horse, a
coal-black stallion, that roamed the
mountains of northern Arizona. saw
him several times before he was cap
tured. After his capture, the breaking
of him - without breaking his spirit,
too - was a problem. We were soon
convinced that he was an unusual in
dividual, possessing far more than just
plain horse sense.
Only three Of our eight men could
handle him at all. For ten days he
refused both food and water, spending
most of his time gazing off at the
mountains. Every now and then he
would nicker, and sometimes his wild
herd would answer. That homeslck
wild stallion was rapidly getting on
everybody's nerves, and had he con-

I'm sure some one would have slipped
out to the corral under cover of dark
ness, let down the bars and given him
his freedom.
But all at once he made up with
cowboys wife. 1t was she who in
duced him to drink and eat. With her
help we rode him, but always inside
that fifteen-foot-high breaking corral.
Edith rode him and taught him to
rein. The horse was not mean or
vicious with any one he would tolerate.
But there were some men he hated
the instant he got their scent. He

 With such tricks to his credit as kicking loose football nearly across the, goal line to defeat Navy, and having player fake injury to se- cure time out without penalty in another contest, Kelley lived 1t all down in the Harvard game accord ing to Harlow.
 When Stewart, a Harvard back field man was injured in that tilt,' Harlow said at the annual Colgate "C" banquet last night. Kelley trotted over to the referee and said give that Harvard man an ex- tra minute-if you won't give 1t to him, charge up an extra time out against Yale !"

TWO HOLES IN ONE FEATURED
 GOLF TOURNEY
Horton Smith Leads $lO,'
 900 Event in Florida; o Odd Scores Made

Coral Gables, Fla, Dec. 5-UP)
 With $10,000 in swag waiting to be split up at the end of 72 holes on Monday, the 223 golfers moved into the second round of the rich Miami Biltmore open championship today.
 At the head of the parade stood Horton Smith, defending cham pion, whose 68 of yesterday was the best score of a day that pro- duced some of the most amazing golf ever seen in a major tourna- ment. Maybe it was the thought of $10,000 that inspired the weird events of the first day, or maybe it was the heat from tropical sun. But whatever 1t was, you'll have to look way back in the record books to match 1t.
 There were two holes in one to begin with. Jack Forester, Oradell, N. J., got the first one when he plunked his tee shot in the cup on the 165-yard second hole. The hole in one was sandwiched in between three fives and enabled him to go to the fifth hole with even fours despite that fact that he didn't have a four on his card.
 The second ace belonged to Abe Espinosa, another old timer. Abe got his on the 14th when his num- Der six iron tee shot hit the pin and dropped in the cup. Abe didn't see the ball fall, and neither did hise caddy. So they had a three minute search before they found 1t. None of the graybeard golfing observers could remember a tour nament with two holes in one, much less two on the pening day.
