to distinguish it. Employed in the game of Ca-se-he-a-pa-na (Spanish, 

 Pastore). of which the collector, Dr. T. P, Martin, of Taos, has furnislied 

 the following account: 



A circle, from 2 to 3 feet in diameter (fig. 92), is marked oii the 

 ground with small stones. One hnndred and sixty stones are 

 used, with larger ones at each quarter, dividing the circle into 

 four quarters of forty stones each. A line AB is marked out 

 as a " river," and is usually marked from east to west. The 

 line CD is designated as a "trail." A large stone is placed in 

 the center. 



There are two players, each of whom takes one of the little 

 twigs, which are known as "horses," A player takes the three 

 stones, holds them together, and drops them vertically upon the 

 large stoue. He counts according to their fall, and moves his 

 hor.se as many places around the circuit. They throw and move 

 iu turn, going in opposite directions, one starting from K and 

 the other from M. If M passes point B before K reaches it, and 

 meets K's horse anywhere around the circle, K's horse is said to 

 be "killed," and has to go back to A and start over again, and rice versa. A chief 

 point in the game is to reach B before the other player, so as to kill him on the 

 second half of the circle.
