the time Mrs. Moore made the trip
through Southeast Missouri in 1918,
she gave riding demonstrations with
her pony, Bud and her dog, Mick
ie,' who had travelled $1,000 miles
withher. At Bloomfield Mrs. Moore's
horse became ill and she left him
there and secured another animal,
which she rode to West Plains. Here
she was presented with a Missouri
MULE by the late Colonel Jay L. Tor
rey, and she rode triumphantly out

long. as he became 'balky,' and Mrs.
Moore returned the animal, as her
own horse had fully recovered and
was returned to her.n
