If the divorcees had af1J romantic hopes, though, they coule have saved their eyelash exercises Bachelor King is woman-shy. H. blushed, said mostly "Yes, rna'am' and No, ma'am" when faced bJ studio cuties, but he likes kids.
 Sherman gave a barbecue and. rodeo party at his Valley ranch tc introduce his new find, and King though polite to everything in skirts or stacks, was obviously relieved when he was allowed to get on a horse and show his skill at roping Cossack and western style riding. and other stunts. His toothy grins were for the youngsters, who clung to the rails of the corral and watched buy-eyed as he raced and stopped the butter-c -colored pony under their very noses.
 King was riding before he could walk. He was born on 8 ranch in Lander county, Nevada, some g years ago, and his nearest neighbors were 40 miles away. His father died when the youngster was seven, and Brad automatically became head of family and boss of two younger brothers, holding down the job stic- cessfully until e stepfather could help him.
 PRONG BUSTER
 EXTRAORDINARY
 Later, they bought Q ranch in Bountiful, Utah, and Brad went there to boss 1t, going to school at the same time. Whenever he needed money. he and his brothers would take time of to round up wild range horses at $5 a head. During one of these working-vacations the boys, still in their early teens. shipped out $2,500 worth.
 At 20, he was wagon boss-an important job-for the TX outfit in Nye county, Neveda, and by then he was one of the best riders in the state. When local amateur rodeos were held, King entered for fun, won prizes right and left for rop. ing and bareback bronc riding.
 Then began a rodeo career that reads like e Cowboys Who's Who. Wild horse racing at Seligman; {; Interstate Bareback Bronc Riding and Steer Riding Amateur Cham. pionship, and the Steer Trophy, at Austin; the list is as long as your arm, for roping and riding anything that grows hair.
 Two trophies he values most are the All-Around Amateur Cham- pionship Cowboy Trophy, a silver mounted saddle presented by the Alturas Chamber of Commerce, and the Interstate Bareback Champion. ship of Nevada.
