with the blind still on and falls in con-sequence, the rider is given another show—if he wants it. Buta horse with blind off which falls or throws himself and riderto earth, is counted fair to both horse and man, for it is part ofthe horses game. If in spite of this the man still stays and comesup in the saddle when the horse regains his feet, meantime havingobserved all the rules as to not pulling leather and keeping hisfeet in the stirrups, it counts for the man. In this unusual picture, Art is indeed in the rough but stilltrue to his name and calling. Note the remarkable control of theriders hand, still firmly on the rope and away from the saddlehorn, foot still in the stirrup, but ready to disengage should thehorse decide to roll over on him. His other leg is undoubtedlysnuggled under the withers, free from the saddle, yet Art isalert, poised, watching every movement of his dangerous adver-sary like a panther. He means to stay with him if theres a ghostof a chance—^and he did.
