"Your horse Is famous,"
th ranch hands had assured
him, solemnly. "Widow-Maker,
thpw rail him. because he's
filled so many riders."

now, I waa believing it, too,"
JMp liter confessed. "He was
so much bigger and" stronger
than I.
But Jim and Deke and
Frank McHaley, Dske's dad,

and a dozen dudes were wait
ing with wide grins. So the
Dutch boy got up. He and
"Widow-Maker" whose call

were close friends in a lew
minutes, except when Tracy
trotted. Jaap didn't trot when
Tracy did.
"Tracy is always coming up

Jaap complained.
Nevertheless, tha vhola fam

No fancy mechanical squeeze

"head and heel" their calves.
One passes a loop around the
rugged rauge calf, then leads
the balky critter into the center
of tha corral where another
mounted cowhand passes hi
loop over one or both of tha
calf's hind legs.
The well-trained horses then
etrpfph thp hawlin? calf out

much for our Dutchman on his

the calves frisk away unhurt

"We were only sorry we could

which concludes these tradi
