For Dailey was a professional horse-tamer. Many years ago almost every family had a horse, yet few people knew how to handle the animals when they acted up. It was then that many owners turned to Dailey for help. But while he made friends at his work, Dailey also made many enemies-men who called him a humbug, a magician or even a wizard who fleeced the public by using "secret" taming potions!
