Finally released, the frantic ani mals made a dash for the stream, but when they were within a few yards of the bank Mohammed or dered his bugler to sound the call to halt. All but five continued their mad dash for water. The five I aligned themselves in military for j mation and halted in obedience to I the call. These, known ever after ias ’’The Prophet’s Mares,” were | bred to the best Arab stallions. 1 They are said to have been the j progenitors of the five leading fam i ilies of the breed.

Achmet re plied, according to the story, that if 1 he must part either with his fa vorite "horse or his daughter he would bid farewell to his daughter rather than run the risk that a de scendant of “The Mares of the Prophet" should be defiled by a for eign owner. Whether or not that particular story is true, there are countless others of the same nature, many of them well authenticated; and all of tnese stories show that the Arab possesses the qualities of intelli gence, endurance, courage and beadt)r ,to a pre-eminent degree. It i» because of these qualities that Mr. Kellogg has brought a number of the finest specimens to the United States.
