FOXYGRANDPA'SSTORY
WHY BOBBY WAS GLAD HE RODE ON A MULE

[[TTAVE you seen about our
horses for tomorrow.
A4 Foxy Grandpa?" asked
Bobby one morning out in Ari-
IONA.
mo, I haven't" answered.
AS it happened. we had planned
a trip down into the canyon on
a very narrow and dangerous
trail, and it was most important
to have good sure footed horses
for the trip.
''We'll go right over to the
livery stable this very minute,
Bobby" said /. And We'll pick
out our horses
So over we started and found
the kindly cowboy, who had
tired of. punching cattle and had
retired to the quiet life Of run
ming a stable where he rented
horses for just such trips as we
were planning.
Morning" he said as we
walked in.
II want two, good horses" said
/. I'VE are taking the trail
down the canyon and / shall de-
pend upon you to give me two
Of your best horses"
He pushed his hat on the back
Of his head, thrust his hands into
his pockets and replied:
I'm sorry 1 can't give you
two horses. 1 can give you a
fine big horse, and can give the
boy a mule.
How Bobby's face did sadden
when he heard that he was to
have a mule. His little jaw
dropped and he vas the very pic
ture of disappointment.
"I'll ride the mule" l said.
I'm afraid you're too big for
him. said the man. But this
mule is the best traveller in the
country and your little friend
here will not regret riding him,
I'm sure"
My little friend did not regret
it either. And I'll tell you why.
We started off bright and
early the next day. Down and
down the canyon we went, fol-
lowing a narrow trail on the
very ledge OF the mountain
with a drop Of thousands of feet
below us. AS our horses thread
ed their way carefully along.
Bobby said:

back.
We halted and the men greeted
US. There was nothing to do bur
to just try to pass each other,
the best way we could. Bobby
positively turned green with
fright.
But he felt much better when
one of the riders shouted to him:
Take the inside of the trail,
boy
Bobby looked at me. You
know he is good sport and he
would never do anything that
was not sportsmanlike, of which
am very proud, too, can tell
you.
Bobby dug his heels in his mule
and on she went. He tried his
best to get him tC take the out

Bobby said to the man:
am sorry, sir. He won't

"You bet he won't" laughed
the man when we were safely
by, "a mule never will"
Mules aren't SO bad, are they?

we rode on.
