Sister Likes Horses Like
Her Father and Brother

Arnold Blythe has a sister. Ethel
May, six years old. Like her brother,
she Is fond of horses. She spends al
most as much time around the stables
as does Arnold. She likes to ride and
when the Jumpers have finished their
schooling for the day Ethel gallops
them to the barn. Mrs. Blythe has Z
difficult time in preserving the. sugar
supply. for Ethel always has her pock-
cts stuffed. She makes the rounds 0t
the stalls of her favorite horses and
treats them.
There isn't vicious horse In the
Blythe stables. II Mr.. Blythe gets

Arnold Blythe heard the CONVEX
sation, but instead of rushing up to
his dad and exclaiming, II told you
so," he walked into the stall to super
wise a rundown that a groom was
giving the horse. And he didn't go
home that night and tell mother or
the neighbors who had teased him
what he had learned.
After dinner was over and the
dishes cleared away, William Blythe
drew chair up to Arnold and said /:
"Boy, you are a wonder. I have
been in the horse game all my life
and always thought I could tell a
thoroughbred the minute eyed him.
But I'll admit that l couldn't hand
your Cyclone much when you led

him home from that auction. You
win, boy; you win"
Fourteen hundred dollars and the
reputation that Arnold had won was
enough to make any boy stick out
his chest till his coat buttons gave
away. Not so with Arnold. He
banked his winnings, pondered
awhile and one night exclaimed to
his father:
dad, I like the farm, every inch
of it. like to work on it and see
the results in the crops. We've got
a lot of plowing to do and I'm not
going to make Cyclone do it, either.
l am going to buy tractor with the
money that l won." The tractor was
purchased by the boy and given to
his father.
Last fall Arnold plowed seventy
six acres. 1t matters not whether
it is moving machine, harrow,
a cultivator; Arnold knows how to
handle all of them.
This farmer jockey is as difficult
to interview as temperamental
prima donna. He hates publicity
the hero stuff. He would much
rather fade from the picture to some
secluded spot after a noteworthy
feat he has performed. He doesn't.
like to have a crowd make a fuss
over him.
He scoots for the stables like
streak Of lightning after each race.
If ho happens to have only one
mount in a day, he gets out Of his
bright red-and-white silken colors
as quickly as possible, dons his
street garb and goes to a far-of
corner in the grandstand, there in
quietude to view the remaining
events on the program.
Arnold has his own ideas about life
for a boy on the farm. And as this
fifteen -year-old youngster expresses
these, as well as other ideas, the lis
tener marvels at his diction--not that

without moments hesitation. 'You

Cyclone developed into a real tor

He blew so wNll in his first eight

Arnold made $1400 on his dads

been vindicated. But all stars have
