! An Indian Boys Pony.
Thus led by those dedicated to religious
service, the tribe leaves its village, the
people, by families, dropping into line
men, well mounted, bearing their weapons
| ready for use; women, in gala dress, rid
ing their decorated ponies, older ones
| leading the pack-horses; little children in
tWos and threcs upon the backs Of steady
old nags, or snugly slowed away in the
swinging pouch between the tent poles,
and the dogs trotting complacently every
| where. Here and there along the line of
the cavalcade is lad being initiated
been upon the hunt before, as one of the
family, but this is the first step toward
going independently, uncared for rs
child. The father has lassoed q wild
horse, saddled and bridled him, and now
| bids his son mount the animal. The boy
hangs back; the colt is fiery creature,
father tells the son that the horse shall
be his own when he has conquered it,
| but the lad does not move. The lockers
on are smiling and the cayalcade does
not wait. Get up says the father.
The boy slowly advances, and the colt
quickly recedes; but the boy, grasping
bis his name, swings himself into the saddle,
The father let's go, and SO does the colt.
rears, jumps, wriggles, humps his back
like an Infatuated cat, stands on his fore
| legs and kicks at his own tail, paws the
| air and stamps the earth, but the boy
| clngs to him until, with sudden jerk,
the saddle-girth is broken, and he is land
ed oyer the head of the excited creature,
which runs for dear life and liberty
Brought back protesting by twists and
shakes of his head, he is again mounted,
| and again frees himself.
After two or three repetitions of this
sort of thing the boy becomes angry and
the mother grows anxious. She runs to
ground, feels him all over and moves
his legs and arms to see if he is hurt.
He is impatient at the delay; he is going
to master that pony now or die for it.
This time he stays on. In vain the ami
NAL lashes himself into foam and fury;
the boy sticks to him like the shirt of
Nessus, and the father at last leads the
indivsible pair between the tent poles
which trail behind sophisticated family
horse, and there, fenced in, they jour
ney all day, trying to get used to each
other The pony does not see his way
out of the poles, and is forced to keep up
with the procession.
AT the first halt strife is renewed. The
pony jumps over nest of children slung
between tent poles and rouses the ire Of
the dogs. With them at his heels and
the boy on his back, he is IN object of
terror as well as of mirth to the camp
He goes where he likes. All the boy can
do is to hold on; but hold on he does, I'M
til at nightfall he dismounts without the
nJ1 nf fhn
this as a defeat, and the struggle is over
Al admiring uncle presents the boy with
a whip, the handle of which, decorated
IN porcuplne-quill work, is terminated by
a tassel of elk teeth; and thenceforth he
rides his pony with the pride of a con-
queror, while the pony himself Frances
along as II ne; too, were proud of his
Der Century.
