GALLOPEO FOR A WAGER.
A Famous Prairie Rider who Won thu
Money But Nearly Lost His Life.

+. y. Aubrey, the Kansas City star says.
was a famous rider in the early days Of the
..cOmmerceof the praires." Aubrey was born
in Canada Of French parents, and drlited
10 II. Louis. about six or eight years before
the breaking out of the Mexican war. lie
was man Of perfect physique, and like the
majority of adventures into the far West,
soon became attracted by the adventurous
life the great plains afforded and entered on
the exciting vocation Of a santa Fe trader.
After he had been on the plains about ten
wears and had become one Of the most won
dernil hOrsemen in the whole country he
made two remarkable rides from Santa Fe
10 independence. Mo-, the first on wager
that he could make the trip IN eight days and
the other that he could beat his own record.
The amount OF money on the former was
only : 900, but on the latter-a very much
larger sum. Aubrey won both bets, but nj
an awful sacrifice of sleep and with much
physical pain. He rode a large number OF
horses, which were posted at short intervals
along the route, and on his first trip SIX
Of them dropped in their tracks under hin
As he rode them. The time he was to con
sumo on the first trip was limited 10 ~.
hours. and he reached the plaza at lndepen

after he had left the station, and was com
PEELED to walk and carry his saddle to th'
next, which was in the vicinity Of Council
Grove. nearly twenty-five miles away.
The next wager was, that he would make
the sO0 miles in ~ hours, or forty-eight les
than on his former trip. He rode his favor
tie mare Nellie, the first day out from sant'
| Re, and she fell dead after he had ridden
prodigious number OF miles. He won tn
wager. with eleven hours 10 spare, but h.
was nearly dead when his friends pulle'

Now. the fact OF the matter Is. what they
really see is simply reflection in the clouds
or sky of the regular chain lightning at
