Sometimes the colt pre era to stay with the wicked, designing nare. Sometimes It runs back to Its nothcr with every show of joy. But, either way. It's a clear caso of kidnaping.

In otber sections It's every horse for himself and the devil take the hind most. There'a Just aa much difTarence, for Instance, between a Blue Grass horse and Montana bronc' as between a Kentucky colonel and a Custer county cowboy. Ken tucky horsea are that selfish! We Montana fellows had an illustration of thla difference at the beginning of the war with Spain. It was down at Chtcka mauga and wa had Kentucky horsea for mounts. "Th flrat nlgtit after wa had reported we turned our horsea loosa in the country out side the town, supposing of course they a stick together through the night like bronrs and that neit morning a man could go ami bring the whole bunch In. "But Instead of bandrhg together and keeping bunched In the chummy, how are ye, old man. style of the prairies, no sooner had each horse slipped hie bridle than he lit put for a corner where he could be by hlmaelf. "When morning came the Montana cow boya were In despair. But bring In the horses they must, so Bert Jones and one or two other fellows went out with their ropes determined to rope something or bust. "Jamea aucceeded at last In locating I Is own horse and roping It. And then there was something doing aure. Old Kentucky bad never seen a rope before, had never seen one descend, writh ing and hissing through the air, over the head and around the neck of nnv horse of his acquaintance, much less his Van. As he felt It tightening about his windpipe h naturally tried to shake it. rearing and plunging, now standing on his hind lss. now bolting, until t.e had pranced and aide atepped plumb Into a tint that happens to be In his way. "Jamea stayed with him till he had suc ceeded In r'ttlng a hackamore on hta bead. By that time the tent looked aa If Kinui cyclone had struck It. The pegs had been pulled out, the sides gsshed. the guy ropes snapped and the whole top had collapsed "A voice came out of the rulna of the teat. " "Who are your tt demanded in a ton a ti Mtbortgr.

"The cowboy faced about in the direction from which It en me. " 'You blnnkety, blank, blank, blank,' he thundered, do you think we want It to happen again?' "Then he chanced to look up. Towering above him out of the wreckage of the tent stood Gi-neral tJrant. "There was a twinkle In his mild blue eyes. " 'Young man.' he said sweetly to the Montana cowboy, 'you want to be a little more subordinate In the future or you'll get Into trouble." "Talking of the friendships of rntigo horses for on another reminds me that range cows show a curious affection for the spot where they have their first calf. KVr years afterward, If II Is a possible thing, they will return and have their culves In the same old place. "A few years at" I bought a bunch of cows In Kkalaka and seven out of the number that looked to be In the poorest shape I put In the cowshed. There a little later they had their calves. Then as soon as the calves were branded I turned them all out on the range. "Tho following spring, when the shed was left open to dry, six of those seven cows came back and had their calves In It again. They didn't come together, but during April and May they all sauntered In. They had found their way back, one thirty miles, ono ten, one over twenty-five miles and so on up to fifty. The seventh cow had died, or doubtless she'd have turned up too. "Peculiar? Well, the pecullarlst thing about the whole business to me was that each cow returned to the exact corner or stall where she had been kept the year before. And the six cowe kept that caper up aa long as I kept them, which was five years or better. "But about the most Interesting exhibi tion of Instinct or memory or association of Ideas, or what ever you would call It, that I ever saw waa In a couple of cow ponies and an old mule that used to be drifting about on the range north of the Yellowstone a few years ago. You sometimes read In the papers of wornout old fire department horses who when an alarm rings forget the pedler, wagons or dump cars they are pulling and dash oft for the fire, all their dormant selves awaking again at the dear, old familiar clang. Well, that's the sort of Volun- thing that happened to Button on Sunday, the old X 1 T cow ponies. Year after year they had worked on the roundup till their joints got stiff. Kvery May thry would start out with the outfit, following down one creek and up another till November and frosts made rounding up uncomfortable. Thep they'd be turned out on the range for the winter till the next May would begin the old roundup life all over agnln. "Roundup work Is devilish bard on ponies. Worse than polo, If possible. They age early under It. Button and Sunday couldn'a have been over 7 or 8 when the X I T men, deciding they were worn out put a couple of fresh ponies In their place and started off without them. "In the course of the summer the outfit struck the valley where the two old broncs were grailng. No sooner did the derelicts catch sight of the familiar roundup wagon and the boys who had been their pards than they insisted on throwing In with them, The boys couldn't shake 'em. "And so long as' the XIT was operating In that country, Button and Sunday would continue to work It with them. Without any man riding 'em, they'd spend their mornings circling, then atand on herd or help work the herd afternoons. Say, but they were stars at standing on herd! They warn't no foxy old cow or cocky young steer could rush 'em or fool 'em. "When the outfit had worked its way out of the valley where the ponies were located, they'd ahake a day-day, aa tt were, to the gang and return to their graiing. "Those two cow pontes loved their busi ness better than many humans love theirs, but they didn't love It so well as Billy, the old mule of the Bar !. He waa plumb in love with his. "He, too, had had his day with the roundup, and he, too, had been discarded for a younger, smarter animal. When spring came Billy was looking to going as usual, and It almost broke the old fellow's heart to see the boys pulling out of Miles City without him. " 'Ain't I a Bar 2 boy as much as any of "em?" ho sorter says to himself. 'They ought to give me a square, even If I have hipped myself and have corns forrard. They can't shake me so easy!' "And with that the old boy lit out after the others. And he followed the Bar 2 outfit of hia own accord for two years, working Just as he'd been used to work In his young, smart days. Then ha got so or'nary that Dynamite Joe, the fore man, was afraid he'd hurt aomeone who waan't onto hia temper, and he sold him."
