that I was rather reluctant, while the

little riding party that was sallying

Ten minutes later he practically
carried me out to the barn and
showed me an aged shipwreck tina,
might have been a horse 20 years
ago, but which now could not be
sure that he wasn't hat rack.
I walked up and looked at the
horse. The horse looked back at me
and his pale dead eyes lit up with a
dull glow of animosity.
He paved the ground once or
TWICE with his foot, and again re-
garded me, this time with challenge
in his glance.
But the animal appeared so frail,
so, worn by the years, that it seemed
impossible for harm to be in him.
So,' when the farm boy had sadd!ed
him, ! mounted.
He stood stolidly at first. Then,
suddenly realizing that I was not IN
the foreground, where he had seen
me first, he cast his eyes about to
discover what had become Of me.
With final twist Of his rheumatic
neck he brought me within the line
of his vixion.
He lSaghed. No other words can

Then he brought his four feet to-
gether, and with swift upward
movement of his, back shot me up in
the air.
When I returned to the ground,
he had gone on, but only for q little
way. l was directly in the range Of
the heel that reached out for me,
but fortunately / crawled away just
in time to avoid it.
Again the farm boy held him, and
again I mounted. This time The
horse instead of bucking proceeded
at slow trot toward the carriage
house. l soon discovered why. The
door he went through was low. too
low to admit anything but the horse.
I was scraped off, and left founder
ing on the floor.
Again a questinH heel sought my
ribs, but I had rolled out of the way.
/ was mad now. and determined
that no horse should conquer me.
So again soliciting the aid of the
farm boy made my third mount.

when the horse darted out Of the
barn at a gallop, slid down q steep

In bulldogging, the rider guiding
the horse with the knees, pursues
the fleeing steer. He leans far out
from the saddle over the animals
horns and at the proper moment
throws himself from his horse
grasping the steers horns, and with
a deft twist of the animals head,
throws him.
On her home ranch, back in Ore
gon, Miss Trickey has done this
with a yearling steer, having been
taught the trick by her brothers.
1t is extremely dangerous, though.
even for husky man, and should
this slight, wiry girl succeed in
such thing, her championship
would be assured without further
contest.
Miss Trickey, in addition to de-
tending her championship, intends
issuing challenge to eastern girls,
to compete in their own kind Of
riding.
Can Ride Eastern Style.
II don't want people to think
that I am only a roughrider," che
said. "At the New York horse
show last winter, when I sug-
gested that I'd like to try one
OF the hunters they seemed
shocked as though they thought
might try to make him buck or
something. I'd Ike the Chance to
show the eastern girls that we of
the west can ride in their style
as we'll, and should any Of them
accept my challenge, they'll find
me ready to back it up at Chey-
enne in any maner they want, from
polo riding to tooling hunter
over the Jumps"
Starts Training.
Needless to say, there is a mar

wiry figure. and already she has
started training for her defense

She became a noted wild horse

and thinks nothing of mounting

And this year she is after it.

When Hugh began to win
broncho-busting events, his wife,
not to be outdone, commenced to

on the championship trophy, the
contest will include several events.
The cowgiris. relay will be one
Of the most exciting events. Here
each girl rider dashes in to her
station, dismounts usually while
her first mount is still in full gal
lop, remounts a fresh horse, some-
times not gaining the saddle until
she has gone a hundred feet or
more. The race demands high
degree Of horsewomanship, as a
bad break in luck might cost even
the most skillful the victory. How
ever, the judges will award the
highest points toward the cham
pionship to the best rider, regard
less of place.
Thrills From Trick Riders.
The trick riding furnishes thrills,
and several points toward the
trophy. In this the girls ride up
side down, jumping on and off, at
the horses side, under it, and go
through all manner of exciting
stunts while the horse is on tear
ing run. In this event Miss Trick
ey is said to be the only girl who
can go entirely around under her
horses neck and back up to the
saddle on the other side while the
horse is on the run.
The broncho busting is the
strong point Of many Of the girl
contestants, and to see a slight,

to do his worst, makes the heart
Of the normal spectator skip sew
eral beats. Ability in the broncho
riding will count heavily toward
the championship.
To Rope Own Horse.
In one event of the champion
ship contest, each maid will have
to rope her own horse, saddle him,
tie blanket roll and slicker to the
saddle, mount and ride to goal.
Another is left open, and each cow
girl can do in it whatever she
thinks will best demonstrate her
horsewomanship. Some will choose
broncho-busting, some trick-rid-
ing, but what the little champion
plans has so far been kept . dark
secret.
Some say It will be something
sensationally new. Some even
think that Miss Trickey will at
tempt to bulldog a young steer, in
itself conclusive proof Of horse
Omaha daily bee., 1921-06-26

in determined training for the
event.
Several of the more famous cow
girls, already we'll known at From
tier days, are among those who are
expected to give Miss Trickey the
keenest competition.
Wonderful Trick Rider.
There is Ruth Roach of Fort
Worth, Tex, who won the
broncho-busting championship for
women at Cheyenne two years
ago, and who has been prominent
in several preliminary events this
year. A wonderful trick. rider,
graceful even in the saddle of the
worst outlaw horse and the abso-
lutte mistress Of any Of them, pro-
Omaha daily bee., 1921-06-26

she began to save for a tentative
timid entry in the great rodeo
where the famous ones of the
cattle regions gather.
She raised horses, trained polo
ponies, traded for horses and cat
tie with the Indians, and then or
ganized her own roundup to
gather them up from the range,
brand them, and ship them to
market. This was all but a short
while ago.
New Trick Feats.
And then last year, before the
gathered thousands, she electrified
the big rodeo. She won the cow
girls relay race, and conquered
the worst outlaw bronchos that a
combing Of the ranges Of many
states could produce. She startled
other riders with new trick fcats
while her pony was dashing at
break-neck speed. She rode in the
Roman standing races against men
contestants, and overcame a wild
steer, riding with but a circingle to
hold on with.
No lengthy deliberation on the
part of the judges was needed.
Little Miss Lorena Trickey was
announced as the champion horse
woman of the world, and the gold,
silver and diamond McAplin
trophy became hers. A modern
Cinderella had come into her own.
Entertained as Princess.
But that was not all. she was
taken to New York to receive the
plaque, emblematic Of her cham
pionship, and in her first view Of
the big cities Of the east, this lit
tie Cinderella was truly entertained
as 4 princess. Maids and motors
were at her call. Millionaires and
society folk lionized her. Boxes
at the opera and the horse shows
were hers, and theater invitations
poured in until toward the end of
her stay she had shyly to beg off.
With the 1921 championship in
July offering the possibility of a
repetition Of all this, is it any won
der that Miss Trickey will again
battle wild horses and wilder
steers, risk life and limb in devils
ing new feats of horsewomanship
to go the other girl contenders one
better?
Covetous Eyes.
II will not be at all easy, either,
this holding Of a worlds cham
pionship. Others have covetous
eyes on the beautiful trophy. the
trip to the east to receive it, and
the wonderful experiences Miss
Trickey had there. For the east,
to one Of these eowgirls, holds all
the glamour and romance that the
west does for the eastern maid. In
fact almost every girl on the
ranges who has any pretense to
real horsewomanship, seems to be
