How Jimmie
Kept His Horse
By F. A. MITCHEL
| "Jimmie, there's nothing to eat In
I the house. You've got to sell Ginger."
I "Maw, I can't do It That horse nud
I me Is like brothers."
"But we cun't starve, and the horse
I Is all there Is left"
Jim and his mother lived In a
new town on the bank of the Missis
sippi river. The population •was varie
gated, excitable and believed in the
future of the town, which was called
Jones City after its founder. Jim was
fifteen years old and born with a
predisposition to horseflesh. Some one
had given him a colt, which he had
traded for a inare, and nfter a number
of other trades Dinger, the apple of
Jim's eye, was acquired.
Jim left his mother and went out
to the river bank, exceedingly sor
rowful. The mighty stream rolled fif
ty 'oet below. Jim was so disconso
late that ho thought of ending bis
troubles by Jumping Into the water.
But It couldn't end them, because ho
could Bwlm like a duck and was sure
that when it came to drowning bo
would paddle ashore.
Anyway he was opposed to the jump
without taking Ginger with him. Gin
ger would back. But ho might blind
fold the horse and ho would go over
without knowing it The more the
boy thought of (he matter the stronger
grew in him n desire to take that leap
on Ginger's back—not now for sui
cidal purposes, but because it would
be a daring feat. If he announced his
intention of doing so what a crowd
would collect to see the leap! Every
one In Jones City would turn out.
There were 3,000 persons in the
town. Now, suppose every man, wo
man and child could be made to pay
CO cents to see the show. That would
be $1,000. Ginger wouldn't bring more
than $150 at most
What an Ideal
Having got into Jim's head, he
couldn't get it out It buzzed and siz
zled, but it stuck. Jim thought he
would try to seo what he could do with
Ginger blindfolded. He tied a hand
kerchief around the horse's eyes,
mounted him and tried to make him
go. The experiment for awhile fail
ed, but so great was the animal's con
fidence in his master that he soon be
came reconciled to walking in the dark
while Jim guided him. Then he would
consent to trot slowly. And so by de
grees Jim got him to move quite rapid
ly under the handkerchief.
By this time the Idea had bloomed in
the boy's bmin. The bluff from which
he thought of Jumping was perpendic
ular and the water beneath it forty
feet deep. Jim considered the danger
to be that the horse In his struggle
might injure his rider. He didn't think
much of any other danger. It was en
tirely a matter of nerve.
One day Jim appeared In a pool room
and shoved a paper under the nose of
the proprietor. It contained a state
ment that Jim Hawkins proposed for
$1,000 to Jump on his horse Ginger off
the bank into the river in front of the
town. The proprietor looked at Jim
as If making a mental estimate for his
coffin, then, taking up a pen, signed for
$25. Jim left the place with subscrip
tions for over $200, and before night
the whole amount had been subscribed.
It was stipulated that the money was
to be placed in tile hands of Mr. Jones,
to be paid to Jim's mother, for it was
not considered probable that Jim would
come out of the stunt alive.
The only person in Jones City who
did not know of the approaching enter
tainment was Jim's mother, and he had
persuaded her to visit her sister on
the day_it_was to take_place._ The apj

proacti"to the jumping"point was roped
off to keep back the crowd on cither
side, and every ono had been caution
ed to do no shouting till after the leap,
lest It should cause the horse to balk.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon Jim,
wearing his birthday suit and a pair
| of spurs, mounted Ginger bnreback,
j the only equipment being a bridle. Jim
was a trifle pale, but his mouth Indi
cated resolution. The handkerchief
was tied carefully over the horse's
eyes, and Jim rode bim back and
forth for awhile as a preparatory
measure. Finally ho took a position
about a hundred yards from the bank.
A number of persons Crowded around
him to hid him goodby, and when they
were put back behind the ropes Jim,
at the signal of a pistol shot, gave
Ginger the word.
By the time they reached the edge
of the bank the horse was loping, and
at the right moment Jim lifted him
with the bridle and gave him the spurs,
lie cleared the bank, and down, down,
down went rider and horse. Jim cling
ing to the horse's mane, Ginger paw
ing the air.
Every man, woman and child rush
ed to the bank. There was a whirl of
waters where they struck, and after
what seemed an Intermiuable time Jim
came up, swimming lustily. The horse
soon after appeared some twenty feet
from Jim. The handkerchief had been
arranged so that Jim could pull it off
wiille between the bank and the wa
ter. Nevertheless the horse seemed
dazed, not knowing at first which way
to go, so that Jim. who struck out for
him. was in time to catch hold of his
tail.
The crowd followed the exhibitors
down the river to a place where they
could land, and they were received
with a clamorous welcome.
When Jim's mother returned that
evening and he poured a thousand dol
lars Info tier lap. telling her how he
had earned It. she fainted.
THREE STEPS.
In the quest for happiness one
could not do belter than put into
practice the precepts of a great Per
sian, "Taking the first step with the
good thought, the second step with
the good word and the third step
with the good deed, I entered par
adise."
Bragging.
Two youngsters were In conversa
tion.
"Well," said the one, "you haven't
nny call to be proud. My father's
taller than yours."
"Bet you a nickel he ain't," was the
retort
"Bet you he Is," said the first young
ster. "Sly father can see over the wall
at the end of the garden. Yours can't."
"Yes, ho can, sraarty," responded the
other, "with his hat on."—Pittsburgh

"You big mutt," snid the batter as
the umpire called the third strike,
"that was a foot outside. What's the
matter with your eyes7"
"Nothing at all," replied the arbi
trator in chilling tones. "I con seo
from here to the clubhouse, and If I
don't see you over there In five min
utes it'll cost you $50."—Philadelphia
