Yes, when looks back on them ra-
dunn nights entertainments along
with Bull Durham, l see now what a
success they was in learning me to
ride. What you need" says he, sis
confidence. Got to forget mere mat
tars of habeas corpus, and how your
toes point, and whether you're looking
pretty. Just trust you horse to pull
through, so that you amt caught in
the flower of youthful innocence, and
hung on the nearest telegraph pole"
Once I been to a theater, and seen
a play. Thar's act one, with fifteen
minutes hoping for act two. Thar's
up the times between with injun war;
whoops, until act five, when all the
ladies and gents is shot or married.
1t just cayn't go on. So the aujience
says, Lets go'n have drink" and
the band goes off for a drink, and the
lady with the programs tells you to-
get to hell out of that.
It's all over. The millionaire Lord
Bishop of Durham is only Bulls father
in-law. Bulls not exactly a cowboy
yet-but assists his mother. Mrs.
Brooke, who is chef at ranch Bull
won't be quite popular with his moth
er for having gorgeous celebrations
with the hundred dollars she'd give
him to pay off little debt. I'd better
not come to the ranch after leading
mummie's boy astray from the paths
of virtue.
There's the dust of Bulls horses
way off along the road, and me settin'
down by the wayside. A dog sets
down in his skin, tail handy for wag-
ging, all his possessions around him.
I amt even got no tail.

jumped first on board. The poor
hulk lay flush with the swell, lifting
and falling just enough to roll the thin
green water, all bright specks, across
and across the deck. Mother was
there, her bare arm reaching out, her
left hand lifting her skirt, her face
looking up, dreaming as she turned,
and turned, and swayed, in a slow
dance. It's what they calls a waltz,
and seems, as I stood watching, I'd
almost see the music swaying her as
she wove circles, water of stars pour
Ing over her bare feet. Seems though
the music stopped, and she came
straight to me. Speaks like a Ill
small girl. ooh, mummy" she says,
look" and draws her hands apart so,
Just as if she was showing long rib
bon, "watered silk" she mutters,
only nine cents a yard. Oh, mayn't
l. mayn't I, mummy"
And there was dad, with all that
water of stars, washing across and
across him.

them horses. wanted to walk. Walk!
The most shameful things he knew
was walking and telling lies. If ]
walked he'd have nothing more to do
with me. I rode till we got to the
ferry.
You know In books how there's a
line of stars acrost the page to show
the authors grief. l got 'em bad by
the time we rode into Invicta City.
Draw the line right thar:

We're having supper at the Palla-
dunn, and I'm pretty nigh scared.
There's a menu to say what's coming,
in French so you don't know what
you're eating, and burned if l can find
out whether to tackle an a la mode
with fingers or a spoon. Bull says it's
only French for puckeroo, sort of
four-legged burrowing bird which in.
habits silver mines, but if l don't like
that, the lady will fetch me foe par.
Well, orders one, and by the lady's
face / see / done wrong, even before
she complains to the manager. I'm
surely miserable to think I've insulted
q lady.
The managers suspicious of me, but
Bull talks French so rapid that even
froggy can't keep up, although he
smiles and shrugs, and gives us sang
fraws to drink.
This sort of cocktail / had, was the
first liquor I'd tasted. It's powerful
as a harbor tug, dropping me out of
the conversation, while the restaurant
turns slowly round with list to star
board, and Bull deals for a basket in
the front window full of decorated

Youth.
A dog sets down in his skin, tail
handy for wagging-all his possess
Sions right thar.
Same with me, setting on the beach,
with cap, jersey, overalls, sea boots,
paper bag of peanuts, beached wreck
Of the old Pawnticket in front, and
them two graves astern. Got more'n
a dog has to think about, more to re-
member, nothin' to wag. Two days I
been there, and the peanuts is getting
few. Little gray mother, dad, the
Happy Ship, just dead, that's ALL dead.
l didn't hear the two horses come,
but there's young person behind me
sort of attracting attention. When he
moves there's tinkle of iron, creak-
ing leather, horsy smell, too, and pres
emily he sets down along of me, cross
legged. l showed him the peanuts, but
he lit a cigarette, offering me one.
Though he wasn't, he just felt same
as a seafaring man, SO I didn't mind
him being there.
He wanted to look at my sheath
knife, and when l handed it he seen
the lettering Green River" on the
blade. He'd been along Green River
and there's no knives like that.
Then I'd got to know about them
iron things on his heels-spurs. We
threw peanuts, my knife agin his
spurs, and he won easy. Queer how
all the time he's wanting to show him
self off. He'd never seen salt water
before. So we went in swimming, and
afterward there's a lunch he'd got
with him-quart Of picked onions,
and cigarettes.
This stranger begins to throw me
horse talk and COW stories. 1t seems
cow-punchers is sort of sailors of the
plains, only it's different. Seafaring
men gets wet and cold, and wrecked,
but cowboys had adventures instead,
excitement, red streaks of life. Fol-

Years older'n me-say, seventeen, but
he's had five years ridin' for one man,
Jour years for another, six years in
Arizona, then three in Oregon, until
he's added up about half a century.

Well, his talk made me small and
mean as a starved cat, but that was
nothing to the emotions at the other
end of me when he got me on one of
