The jury further recommended

these countries and their peo; les. And
then, before l knew it, and while that
peculiarly timid and incapable feel
ing was sweeping over melville sud-
denly | was conscious that my history
lesson had been much neglected, and
that certain important dates and
places which / thought would never
forget had slipped my mind--we left
the hotel in New York for the pier.
The Aquitania lay huge and i'm
patient in her berth, seeming almost
human, as she swayed slightly at her
mornings. Tony was waiting for me
at the pier, fretfully paving the hard
boards, as il he would like to feel
grass again beneath his feet.
0"Cheer up, old boy" l said to him.
"WeH get DICK all right. any way

GOES FIRST CLASS,
1t was my plan to ride Tony up the
passenger gangway. After all, my
horse had been responsible for much Of
my small success in the films and !
felt it only fitting that he be treated
not only as human being, but also as
first-class passenger. This j had in
sisted upon, and Tony's quarters on
the great liner were arranged with re
gard as much to their accessibility to
the first-class accommodations as t.
their comfort.
A great many people who were skep
teal that a horse could be ridden W
the passenger gangway OF the Aqul
tania were on the pier, while the Off
GERS and crew Of the liner were lined
up along the rail to see, as they put it.
the wild cowboy stunt.

tackled lots Of harder jobs in thu
daily run Of his work. But it was un
usual, / guess, and great cheer went
up when / gently urged my horse for
ward and he walked quietly and grave
ly up the gangway, and then saunteret

day. / went over to Newark to review
a parade of the Boys Safety Patrol,
at which ceremony another huge crowd
swarmed around me.
All this made me feel mighty good,
for, living out in California all the
time as l do, / didn't know / had so
many friends in the East. Also 1t
gave me courage to carry on with my
trip to Europe, which, by this time, i
began to realize was really going to
take place.
It's one Of the peculiarities of a

though their reason tells them some
thing is going to happen, they just
can't believe it will happen to them
until it actually has come about.
EAGER FOR TRIPS.
Oddly enough, all fun making by
Mrs. Mix and myself about acquiring
a European polish and background put
aside, began to want to make the
trip. / loved my ranch, and my hap
piest moments had been and would be
spent in my own West, but a feeling
came over me, just as Mrs. Mix had
pointed out, that should know some
thing through my own observations
of the way in which the other half OF
the world lives.
All my life had been spent as q
cowboy on the range, as a soldier with
knapsack and gun, as law enforce
ment officer in the tough, merciless
southwestern border country, and as a
cowboy film actor. True, in the Boxei
rebellion l had been in China; in thu
Spanish-American war j had fought
under Roosevelt, and the Boer wal
