"Maw. 1 can't do It That horse anil me is like brothers." . #1 < "Bin we run t starve, anu iue norsp ? is ail t here Is left." ** Jim ami bis mother Jived In a w new town on tbe bank of 1*: Mississippi river. The population was varlc- ei giieJ. excitable ami believed in tbe ,0 future of tbe town, which was called h' Jones City after its founder. Jim was fifteen years old and born with a predisposition to horseflesh. Some one bad given him a colt, which be bad . traded for a mure, and utter a number of other trades Ginger, tbe apple of Jim's eye. was acquired. Jim left his mother and went out to tbe river bauk, exceedingly sorrowful. Tbe mighty 6tream rolled fifty feet below. Jhn was so disconsolate that be thought of ending bis troubles by Jumping Into the' water. Bat it couldn't end them, because be could swim like a duck and was sure that when It came to drowning be would paddle ashore. Anyway he was oc~osed to tbe Jump without taking Glng . with him. Ginger would back. But he might- blind- ? fold the horse and be would go over without knowing it Tbe more tbe boy thought of tbe matter the stronger grew in blm a desire to take that leap on Ginger's back?not now for suicidal purposes, but because It '.would be a daring feat. If he announced bis 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- te man and child could be made to pay 0< 60 cents to see tbe show. That would tb be $1,500. Ginger wouldn't bring more bl than $150 at most. v ;' What an Idea! Having got Into Jim's bead, be couldn't get it out. It buzzed and siz- tr zled, but it stuck. Jim thought be would try to see what he could do with i rc Ginger blindfolded. He tied a bund I e kerchief around the horse's eyes. I a, mounted him and tried to make hlm]ta go. The experiment for awhile failed, but so great was the animal's confidence in his muster that he soon became reconciled to walking In the dark while Jim guided him. Then he would consent to trot slowly. And so by degrees Jim got blm to move quite rapidly under the handkerchief. By this time the idea bad bloomed In the boy's brain. The bluff from which be thought of Jumping was perpendicular and the water beneath it forty J ol feet deep. Jim considered the danger Ci to be that the horse in his struggle q might Injure his rider. He didn't think ^ much of any other danger. It was entlrely a matter of nerve. One day Jim appeared in u pool room ; and shoved n paper under the nose of of the proprietor. It contained a state- ot ment that Jim Hawkins proposed for $1,000 to Jump on his horse Ginger oil a( the bank Into the river In front of the. ? town. The proprietor looked at Jim as If making a mental estimate .'or his coffin, then, taking up a pen, signed for * ^ $25. Jim left the place with subsciip- joi tlons for over $200, and before night > oi the whole amount had been subscribed.: c It was stipulated that the money was'_ to be placed in the hands of Mr. Jones, J o) to be paid to Jim's mother, for It was not considered probable that Jim would ( come out of the stunt alive. R The only person In Jones City who si did not know of the approaching enter- b: tainment was Jim's mother, and he had persuaded her to visit her sister on p; the day It was to take place. The ap- j nroach to the Jumping point was roped j off to keep back the crowd on either side, and every one had been cautioned 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 bareback, the only equipment being a bridle. Jim ci was a trifle pale, but his month indi- c cated resolution. The handkerchief Q was tied carefully over the horse's a eyes, and Jim role him back and forth for awhile as a preparatory p measure. Finally lie took a position R about a hundred yards from the bank. A number of persons crowded around ^ him to bid hlui goodb.v. and when they were put back behind the ropes Jim. at the signal of a pistol shot, gave Ginger the word. n I By the time they reached the edge a( of the bank the horse was loping, and si at the right moment Jim lifted him with the bridle and gave him the spurs. .. He cleared the bank, and down, down, . down went rider and horse. Jim clluging to the horse's mane. Ginger paw- il ing the atr.
