HE COULDN'T DUCK. The Mule That Wa Ridden Once and Once Only. "A follow liml a mulo that nobody could rldr nnd that nobody ovor did rldo but one tlmo, bo far jib I lnow said tho old man who. llkoa to toll stories. Horo la tho yarn about na ho told It, with tho namoa changed a bit "Tho hanks (in tho Toxaa aide of tho Hod rlvor woro BUfllciently high to protect tho adjoining landa from overflow. On tho Indian Territory ali'.o tho bankB woro nomobat lower and whllo ovcrllowB woro not of year ly occurrence, they camo frequently enough to bo unpleasant. For this reason Jim Oahhot, n half breed, lived In Toxaa, though his farm was across tho river In tho Territory. Ilob Sara cn, Jim's neighbor, lived and farmed on tho Texas eldc. "Gabbot owned a team of mules, Mlko und I'eto ho called thorn. Whon tho field work for tho day was done bo wbuld unBnaj) thorn from tho plow, and riding ono nnd lending tho other, ho would ford tho river to his homo. Next morning ho might bo scon riding down to tho rlvor, which ho was com pelled to ford again to reach IiIh fluid. Though ho crossed tho rlvor twlco al most ovory day In tho year, and though both mulos scorned equally well broken nnd gentlo, ho nlwnys rodo tho antno mulo, Old l'oto. "Snrason would somotlmoa ho work ing near tho rlvor nB Gauhot croasod back nnd forth, and ono day ho ro markod: "Gnbbot, why don't' you rldo thnt off mulo onco In n whllo nnd glvo Old I'eto n rost?" "'Truth Is, Sarason,' wna tho roply, 'Old Mlko won't ride.' "'0 shucks, why don't you mnko him rldo,' said Sarniau, with a touult of snronsm. "'Mnyho you can ride hlmV answer ed Jim. "I nln't brnasln' any,' snld Sarnsen. 'but I know what I'd do If he wat mlm " " Wrll I'll tell you nbout thnt Mike muK Bald Qabbot. '111 bet n hard day's plowln' thore ain't n mnn In the country can rldo him n hundred feet.' " 'I'll tnko tho hot, Jim, said Sam son, 'I'll ride him mysolf nnd do It now. " 'If you do you win,' was tho roply. Sarason wont to tho animal, took off tho harness, fastened n bolt nround Its body; then ho put a hnltor on tho mule. Ho asked Gabbot to dismount from Old I'eto nnd mounting Poto hlmsoir ho let: Mlko dosvn to tho rlvor, nnd riding ono loading tho other ho urged them Into tho wntor until both niuloB woro swimming. Then ho hold tho mulo ho was riding back a hit and Old Mlko swam unconcornodly along side. As ho did so Sarncon graspod tho bolt about tho mulo's body nnd throw himself on Us back. Mlko went clear undor tho wntcr but came up pumng nnd snorting. Ho mndo two or three attempts to lungo but they wero utterly futile. Finally ho settled down Into business nnd swam steadily and rapidly toward tho Territory shore, which was at least ICO feet away. Sarasen turned and waved his ha;,d to Gabbot, who from tho Texna side had watched tho entire performance. When tho mulo reached water In which It could wndo Snrascn slipped from Its back and led both mules to tho shore. After a brief rest ho recrossod tho riv er repenting tho performance and Gab liot cheerfully admitted ho had lost. "A few hours lator Jim might havo been soon, busily turning tho sod in Sarnsen'B field with a big doublo shov ol.nnd tho mulo that could not bo rid den kopt tho tugs on tho off aldo stretched. " 'Jim,' Ilob would say ns ho lay In tho shado und wntched his nolghbor work; there's more'n ono way of rid In' a buckln mulo.'" f Best Liniment on Earth. I. M.
