RIDING A BUCKING MULE.
A "Pancher's" Adventure Described by a
Story-Teller From Indian Terzitory.
The Century Magazine's pize Ior
the best short story submitte.i uy a
college graduate in 1899, was a'ard
ed to John M. Oskison, of Leiand
Stanford Uni.ersity, whose home is
in the Indian Territory, and whose
blcod is partly Indian. "Oniy the
Master Shall Praise" is its title; and,
one of its scenes is a description of a
ride on a bucking male.
Out of a knot of excited men Han
ner went straight to the waiting, rest
less mule. With a mock air of brav
ado he struck the excited mule across
the flank with his sombrero, after
roughly seizing the reins. No one
who has not learned by experience
how to mount a plunging horse can
understand how Hanner lifted him
self out of the chaos of rearing mule
and struggling attendants into the
saddle before he signed to the men to
turn the animal loose.
When the mule found him=eli free
to act there was a momentary pause.
Then begau the short, nasty jumps
straight into the air, with the animal's
back bowed, its legs stiff, and its head
lowered. It was the first powert:I
effort of the angered beast, made witi.
devilish conuden --
searcely shaken .- t ;tr aigit
jumps, but .en began the twisting
series, wiich is the second expedien
of ay'cking animal. A high jump
ino the air, with a seemingly inpos
sible twist to the side, lauded the
mule with its head trned almost halt
round. Before the rider caught his
breath another jump and another hflf
turn were made. These are the mo
tions that make a bronco-buster' life
shorter. Hanner was bleeding at the
nose in half a minute. The twisting
jumps were continued nutil the
strength of the mule was almost ex
hausted, and asyet,oniy the hat of the
- puncher had been dislodged. A short
pause followed. dnring which the
mule changed its tactics, and Haniner
thwacked its sweaty neck with his
open hand. The next motion was
sudden rearing by the mule. As it
rose on its hind legs the rider yanked
fiercely on the reins. and, slipping to
the ground on one side, allowed the
brute to fall on its back. The saddle
horn buried itself in the earth. andi
the mule's hoofs beat the air a mo
ment before it scrambled to its feet.
Hanner s as cooler than the mule
now, and Slung himself back into the
saddle with the first loig leap of the
desperate animal. This was the easy
part of the trial for the rider, and the
spectacular part for tho world. The
mule ran straight away for the opposite
fence of the fair-grounds with long,
lunging pumps, rising and pitching
forward with the speed of a racing
yacht. Hanuer brought his craft
about before it sailed into the fence,
and beat it fore and aft with a flour
- umoh now, his hair blowing in the
win~d. Hie leaned forward as in a
race, urging the thoroughly tired and
conquered mule straight for the
