eoteague is a glittering little island,
brilliant with sand ' and salt water,
densely" peopled, well wooded and
haunted by mocking birds. There la
neither poverty nor crime tbere, drunk

of Chinooteague that no alave ever lived

Nobody know positively the origin of
the Chlneoteague ponies. . It is only
known that they have roamed the

least a century, and there is a tradition
that the ancestors of the ponies came

The colts are born and nurtured ,
in the open pastures, and the annual
pony penning is for the double purpose
oi branding tbese colts and selling
some of the older horses. . ..
Pony-penning day is still a fete day
on Chincoteague. The pen for ' the
horses is built near the center of the
village, and on the morning of the
pony penning men and boys mounted
on swift and well-broken ponies ride
out to the pastures to drive in the wild
creatures. The groups of ponies are
slowly driven together on the pasture
and then started townward. As the
pen is neared the guards thicken, so
that the whole band is easily driven
into the inclosure. Branding irons are,
heated; men with rope nooses on the
end of long poles leap into the pens.
The colts are thrown to the ground and
held there while the iron is applied.
The branding done, . the auction fol

twenty-five to forty dollars each. Oth-i
era, broken to harness, fetch as htarh'
as sixty dollars. Well-matched pairs
sometimes fetch one hundred and fifty
dollar. The ponies have long been
the pets of children of well-to-do fam
ilies on the mainland, and of late years
have been sold over a large part of the
United States. They are larger than
Shetland ponies and more beautiful.-'
