Jack Horie, CoWboy Star

NV EsTERDAT met the incest If cowboy I've ever met. S Now I wonder why I said that. because he is the first and only real riShty. honest-to- goodness cow boy, rve ever met in all my life, so of course he's the incest. but he'd be any way if I'd meet twenty, because he's so handsome and so attractive and so wonderful looking-tall--slen- der-jet black hair and eyes and fascinating smile.
 Jack Hoxie looks like a young Hercules of modernity; his superb physique, his handsome face, his stunning manner-why yo'd take him any time for a grand opera "Basso foundop-especially after you've heard his deep euphonious voice speaking voice l mean, which made me remark to him just that;
 "Why-what are you doing out of the Metro politan opera?''
 Funny he said" but that's what my people originally planned for me"
 But no sir-ee bob" I said You preferred the golden west with it's 'rodeos' and round ups, it's las sos and it's 'bucking broncos and everything-eh?"
 "Right-o,' said Mir. Jack Hoxie q couldn't have been anything else but cowboy because l was born on 1 n ents moved to Idaho when l was a year old-and there my father had l magnificent ranch with about 16,000 l horses and as many more cows and died and my mother married again and you know how children are--they sometimes don't take to step par | ents so my brother age 10, and my self aged eight moved out, our moth CT and stepfather going to Montana where our stepfather had a splendid ranch on the big Flat Rock reserva- tion stretching out to the Umitalla in California.
 After his death-we two boys went back to Montana said MT Hoxie "to my mother to run the l ranch for her-but we were SC young, about 14 and 16 then and we had very little executive ability and the only thing that we could do was to qualify as cava boys"
 "Cava boys" I asked whats that?"
 "The boys who follow and attend to the horses of the real cowboys with their big herds" said MT. Hoxie q shall never forget how we were put on two bucking ponies and told by the buckaro to ride them mine threw me over and over, time and again-while my brother was more successful for he got away with his and later l did too. 1t was our duty at night to look out for the horses for the cowboys and in the morning by o'clock to have them ready for the cowboys to start.
 "Of course if you qualified in this, | then later you took the degree of full fledged cowboy said MT. Hoxie and my brother and I 10th qualified. I well remember the old rodeo where I first began to learn tricks" tAnd | right here is as good a place as any
 
 championship for the worlds best 1 trick rider and best bull dogger of l steers if you know what that means; 1 I didn't until he told me and it is something that you couldn't pay me
 enough money ko try to dol. 1 "The steers are driven out of the
 rodeo and the business of the bun 1 dogger Is to stay within one of two 1 50-foot lines of the rodeo until tho | rxrt1 r+n se
 "ths the rider jumps from the horse ] locking the horn of the steer within his right arm and throws him. On, it's pretty trick--and I've done it | in the movies as well as in real life | so many many times, it's an old story | now.
 The most thrilling thing I ever have had happen to me in the movies" Mir. Hoxie said, was in The | Woman God Forgot. You know, it | is de Mile picture of The Conquest l If Mexicot and in one scene when the
