gone back for horse. The pony made
a dash forward, throwing Clara from
her back. Uncle John came up pres
emily and found Clara on the ground.
She didn't seem to be hurt very much,
but her arm was badly bruised After
ward it was found that her wrist was
sprained little. In about a week she
was perfectly we'll and she wanted to
ride some more.
Clara soon began riding again and
in a very short time became a fine
rider. The last day that Clara was in
the country she took a long ride with
Uncle John. Clara had become such a
fine little horsewoman since she had
been in the country that Uncle John
resolved to give her the little pony,
Swiftly. She then returned 20 her city
home. KATE MKNIGHT.

Dashing down the driveway, Swiftly,
with one leap, cleared the gate and
turned down the road.
This frightened Uncle John and he
Immediately ran to the corral, and
singing out a wiry little mustang,
Ginger, he threw his riata and in
second he had the kicking, struggling
creature by him.
Uncle John jumped on his back and
grabbed Ginger's name.
Ginger tried to throw Uncle John, but
he dug his spurs into the mustangs
flank.
The horse was so thoroughly fright
ened and excited that it also leaped the
fence.
Though he had no bride, Uncle John
managed to guide Ginger by his ears.
At the top of a nearby hill he could
see Swiftly dashing along with Clara
sticking pluckily on his back.
Uncle John rode on about a mile,
Then he saw Swiftly standing by the
side of wheat field with his head over
the fence eating wheat. Clara sat be-
side him on a stump.

ara,s First Ride on a Texas Pony Is Most Exciting
Prize story

nEFORE Uncle John had time to
Il think the pony was gone. Clara
- was clingng to the saddle with
all her might. She was beginning to
be afraid The pony was very fright
ened and ran as fast as she could. She
jumped over fences and went through
large herds of cattle. Clara was get
ting dizzy and began to feel sick Sud
denly she seemed to strike something
hard.
Uncle John mounted a swift horse
and started after Swiftly; he sent one
of his men to help catch the pony.
Uncle John came across Clara, who had
just come to after her faint. She was
not hurt very badly, only some bad
bruises. He picked her up and put
her in front of him on the horse. When
they got home Swiftly was there.
1t was not long, however, before
Clara recovered. She wanted to ride
again. SO Uncle John said she might.
She did not feel as safe on Swifty's
back as before, but she was learning
better each day.
1t was not long before Clara was
counting the days until she would have
to leave the ranch to go back to
school, She loved Swiftly better each
day and it was very hard for her to
make up her mind to leave such a
lovable little creature.
The day before she left the ranch
she rode all over the whole place. OF
course the time was flying and at last
she had to leave. She even rode to the
train on Swiftly.
When her birthday came, the fif-
teenth of the next month, Uncle John
sent Swiftly to her as a birthday pres

present of all.

was the name of the little Texas
pony, the gentlest and safest Of
her kind.
you're getting to be fine
horsewoman," laughed Uncle
John. "Why, by this time next
week you'll be galloping all over

fun to ride, isn't it?"
But just as she spoke there was
a lightning-like whirlwind COM
ing across the yard, and it caught
at some clothes that were hang
ing on a clothesline to dry, tear
ing away a thin white garment
and hurting it over Swifty's head.
The moments blindness, the flap
ping of the white thing over her
eyes, caused the animal sudden
fright.

y the rancho her Uncle Joe
~ said: We'll, grille, you
must learn to ride bronco.
How does that strike you, eh?"
Clara clapped her hands in glee.
ooh, I'd just love to learn to ride
a horse" she declared. Wouldn't
mamma and papa be surprised to
hear that I could ride a bronco?
Oh, what jolly fun!"
"Well, We'll start tomorrow"
promised Uncle John.
The following morning Uncle
John called Clara to the ranch
house door. "Come, City Girl, ;"
he said, laughingly; here is your
mount. Come and have a peep at
him. Then make ready for your
first ride.
"All right, I'll be right there in
a minute" said Clara, running to
her room to make ready for her
first ride. Within FIVE minutes
she was mounted on the pretty
little Texas pony, riding about

(HonorabIe Mention)

1T NCLE JOHN made an endeavor to
catch him by the bride, but
~ Swiftly was too quick for him.
Away he went, like lightning. Clara
held on as tightly as she could for she
was awfully frightened.
She was beginning to feel a little
more at ease, when round went Swiftly
as quick as a flash, throwing her into
the air. She lit on some brush, not
much hurt, but badly frightened.
Uncle John soon made his appearance
on old Jack. He laughed heartily at
the sight, and said: $50 you didn't have
very good luck with your first ride did
you? You'll learn in time" He put
her on the saddle in front of him and
they rode back to the house. They
found Swiftly standing in the yard
waiting for them.
This was not Clara's last ride before
she went home. She learned to ride as
we'll as the western girls. The day be-
fore she went home Uncle John called
her and presented herewith Swiftly. She
was delighted and returned home the
next day with her prize.

Clara had a terrible ride. She went
out through the yard and over little
stream that was by the ranch. then
over long stretch of sand. After she
had gone about three or four miles the
pony got tired and turned and went
back Her Uncle Joe had started out
on another horse after her, because
he was worried about her.
Clara did not get thrown off. She
was pretty badly scared by the time
she had had such a ride,
The next time she went riding she
knew better how to guide her pony.
She was only thrown off once, but she
did not get hurt very badly.
The last ride she took was the day
before she went home to the city.
She went with her Uncle Joe to herd
some cattle and he said: ''You will
make a good one to herd cattle. You
ride better than some men / have had"
When she got home she told her moth
er and father that she had learned to
ride a bronco. EVELYN ABLES.

Away sped the pony with the fright
ened Clara clinging to his name. Uncle
John started in pursuit, but was soon
left behind. The pony neared high
board fence that encircled the ranch
and Clara thought the horse would run
full into it. She misjudged the pony's
powers, for with a leap Swiftly sprang
over. The pony increased his speed
and Clara became more frightened. AS
they turned bend in the road Swifty's
sudden flight was checked by running
full into bog hole. At that moment
Uncle John appeared.
The next day Clara was up bright
and early and announced that she was
ready to renew her lessons. After two
or three days of hard work and train
ing Clara finally mounted the saddle,
and now just as she had learned to
ride she returned to the city.
