How the Big Huff started.

old Mart has been at outs with Andy
for years and years, and Andy he amt
givin -- damaged postage
stamp, you understand, one way or the
other. They always speak when they
meet up together in the big road and
pass in callin, as it we're, but at the
same time everybody knows there amt
no tender ties to speak of between old
Mart Mayo and my friend and fellow
servant, Andy Lucas.
In orderment for you to understand
right exactly how and why--the where
fores and the whenceness-of how old
Mart got off on his high huff with
Andy, will have to tell about famous
horse race that come to pass oncst upon
time over at the Cross Roads, wherein
Andy he win the pile with his lead
mule. 1t was then along in the Christ
mas times and horse racin had been all
the go with the boys for some days
past. The fastest horses, the best races
and heaviest bets had all been helt
back for Saturday, the last day of the
racin week, and tremendous big crowd
was on hand to see the show out.
Now Andy Lucas amt no slouch till
yet when it comes to handlin horse
flesh, and in them days he was hot
stuff and a whole passle of it. But it
had come to pass by some hook or mer-
crook that he hadn't took any particlar
hand in the races that week, and he
never pulled card nor made a pass till
that Saturday evenin. 1t was gettin
along considerable into the shank of
the evenin, and the boys was warmin
up the horses for the last race, when
Andy Lucas he driv up with six-mule
team. He had went to town that day,
it seems like, to open his store account
and lay in provisions for the comm
year, and he was now on his return
back home. You could see with one
eye shet that Andy had been nibblin at
the bottle and changin his breath most
too frequent like, and we could hear
him comm two miles down the road
singin and oussin and carryin on scan
dlous with his mules. When he driv
up to the Cross Roads he was reelin and
rockin in his saddle, ridin all over the
stay mule and talkin all sorts of fool
ishness at the top of his voice. Some
Of the boys went out and headed the
mules and brought Andy and his team
to dead stop. Then they put in to
teasin and pickin at Andy about first
one thing and another jest to see bow
bad he was mixed and muddled up with
himself. But he always como back with
as good as they sent, and after waggin
at him so long time they had to give
it up and quit. Now presently Andy's
jug was brung forth and went the
rounds, and the boys told him he must
get down and take out and stay over to
see the big race. But he told them no,
and give il out that he would better be
drivin along towards home.
Life is too short and money is toe
skeerce and time is too feetin for me tc
be foolin along here with your piney
woods colts and scrub races, says Andy
as he frightened the line on his lead
mule and uncoiled the whip from around
the horn OF hts saddles But the boys
headed his team off oncst more and tolt
him he couldn't jump the game in thai

Bring Forth the Mule.

Bring Forth the Mule.
In the general bettin fever and high
confusionment, all of the boys, and even
old Mart, didn't take notice that Andy's
lead mule, Dollie, was rale rank
stranger in the settlement. But when
somever you take down your shotgun
and start out to shoot Andy Lucas for a
fool, you will mighty soon find out that
you are barltin up the wrong stump.
Now Andy had went to town that day
and swapped around few times, and
at last traded big two-hundred dollar
mule to circus man for the one he
worked in the lead and called her name
Dollie. Ii leaked out after that that
Dollie had been trained up for the horse
race business in particlar, and had win
piles of money on the track before Andy
Lucas ever pulled line over her back.
She was only about middlin as to size,
round-boddied and short in the saddle,
with long, keen, trim legs like deer.
Naturally, of course, Andy made be-
lieve that he was heap sight drunl1er
than he was in fact, and that was reg
lar part of the game as he had cut and
dried it. Whilst the other boys was
gettin their horses into line for the
race Andy he was leadin Dollie round
and round, with nothin on but blind
bride with rope rein, and pettin her
and talkin to her like she was a baby.
The boys tried and tried to get Andy to
put saddle on the mule and make his
mount, but he only said ''no," and went
on ta1l1in his foolishness
"Now, Dollie, you blamed informal,
high-headed heifer, you are built from
the ground up, with clean limbs and a
handsome fgger," says Andy, talkin to
his lead mule for dear life, ''and when
the time is up and the word is spoke,
| want you TO ontie them pritty legs
and use em for all they are worth,
There is meat and bread, and new shoes
and calico for my old woman and the
little ones in this game, as we'll as corn
and fodder for you, If you will only
play it out right, Dollie. have put

on your back, young lady, and if you
drop it, the poor house is our. home
henceforwards and forever. Remember
what tell you, Dollie, my dear, and
none of your monkey work this evenin."
The judges give it out that time was
up and called on Andy to mount and
make ready.
II will be ready whensomever you
give the word, gentlemen" says Andy.
''When the horses go Dollie will be in
the race, and whether | ride in a saddle
or bareback, or whether | ride at all or
not, is none of your durn business. My
money is up When you say go, my
mule will 90, and if she don't run out
ahead of the fastest horse in the bunch,
I lose and you win"
The judges they waited and worried
along with Andy till they got plum
wore out and sick and tired, and torectly J
they got the horses punched for fail
start and give the word, go. The horses
went off down the stretch at full speed
but Andy want quite altogether as
drunk and crazy as the general crowd
thought he was. Quick as flash he
slipped the briddle off of Dollie's head

the rope rein and hollered ''gol"

whole crowd three hundred dollars arin
your pile that my lead mule, Dollie,
can beat AIRY horse on the grounds in a
runnin race" and with that he went
down into his fanks and come out with
the money in his hand.
Seein how Andy was in dead earnest,
or either workin off a big bluff, the
crowd got together and helt little pri-
Vate eonfabulation with regards as to
what they would do. Old Mart wanted
all hands to lump their bets and place
the pile on the field agin Andy's lead
mule, and then divy all around with
the ~innins. 1t would be like picllin
up that much in the big road, or fndin
1t in holler tree, but it would teach
Andy Lucas lesson, and break him
from drinkin like a fish and shootin off
his mouth SO big and frequent and pro-
miscus like. One of the boys thought
it mought be clost kin to robbery to
win money on bet like that, cause
Andy was now drunker than seventeen
fools and gettin drunker and drunker
with every breath, But the general
crowd was in favor of takin up the bet
aeeordin to Andy's banter. 1t would
learn him little sense, and if anybody
gotseartielar sorry about it, they could
give their share of the winnins back to
Andy when he got sober. So they COW
cred the bet and told Andy to come
forth with his mule. No sooner said
than done, and Andy pulled the gear
off Of Dollie, lead her out before the
judges, paid so cents as his entrance fee
and had her entered for the race.
