THE PLANE AND THE ANTELOPE
Swiftest, of all four-legged creatures in North America is the pronghorn and it became nccessary for the game wardens to move them lately from their haunts of the Texan ranges to a new reserve because though they mixed in a friendly way with they did not get on with sheep. But routing up the smallj scattered herds was a tedious job when conducted on horseback, so a slow-flying aeroplane was called in.
The small herds edged away from a plane Hying slowly at fifty to live hundred feet above them on their flank and -so were gradually collected in one big herd of hundreds. This was the first step in moving these rare and beautiful creatures into safe quarters.
