him TO the starting point. Tonk was
old Bits jockey, and came %squeal-

behind me. The old sorrel had

in which my hand picked-judged ar
ranged everything TO my advantage,
We were off.
Before We had run 100 yards I
knew whyFthe old scavinger had let
me pick the judges, as non would
be needed, for Tonk took the lead
from the first jump. The judges like
to have come to blows over the de-
cssion. Buck fatty maintained that
my horse was beaten only about so
yards. but Jeff was equally certain
that 1t was nearer 900 feet.

Is sad and short, and with the Kind

I was about IS when old Bill
Skyes. the villain OF this story, halted
on Cave creek long enough to
change my life's program and win
everything | possessed, save and ex-
cept the clothes on my back. He
came driving an Old mule and n long
bellied, ewe-necked sorrel horse with
harness made of grass rope, rawhide
strings and collars OF plated corn
shuc&s. He camped near our house.
and was accompanied by a hunch-
back boy OF uncertain age, who an

Ohio Schools GiUeH
Treasured Copy OF
Compact by Pilgrims

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio.-A
framed copy of the "Mayflower
COMPACT has been presented 10
the local public schools by the
ohio department OF the Society Of
Nayflower descendants, through
ma only Fails member, Charles
Rowland.
Authorities term this the first
agreement between gOlonists. The
compact was written after the P1l.
grlms anchored Of Cape Cod in
November, 1920. They were UNI
able TO proceed southwark be
cause OF the severe weather. As
they had no authority to settle on
the New England shore some Of
their servants threatened mutiny
IL the newcomers stopped at what
is now p~roviucetoWu harhor.
IA the cabin OF the historic chip
the Pilgrims drew up and signed
this agreement declaring them
selves "loyal subjects of the king
and affirming their purpose OF
making laws for the general good
OF the colony"
The copy Is printed in old Eng
lish script, with the names OF the
aigners appended. The border
consists of the May Flower. or
trailing arhutus. with a picture OF
the venerable vessel IN the center.
The gift was followed by. a series
OF faculty lectures on the instru-
ment.
Rowland traces his ancestry nine
generations back TO the old Plym-
outh colony, and four OF his fore
bears were slgners OF the original
compact. Headquarters OF the
department is al Cincinnati, and
