"BREAKING IN A HORSE"
"Have you ever seen a liorse being broken in, Fairiel? The other day a chestnut was. brought along. A wizenedup little cowman jumped on its back. The horse's ears lay back, it showed the whites of its eyes, snorted, then jazzed round the stockade like a mad thing. The tricks that animal was up to! It stood on its hind legs, and came down with a great thud on all fours. It pranced round the stockade, pulling up with a sudden jolt and a I buck 'that nearly sent the cowpuncher sailing over its head. Next, it tried to rub its rider against the fence, and, 'failing this, with a shrill whinne.y it rolled over and over on the ground. But the rider was ready, and as soon as the horse was on its feet, there he was once more, glued to its back. At last it made a charge at the gate,' baulked it, made a run round inside, then, with a final snort, it sailed over the stockade gate like a great bird, and was soon a dot in the distance. When the cowpuncher rode it back at sundown, it was quite broken in."
