(Contributed) Dear Susan. Y.%er no reason whatever I'm gon- iull you how the boy freind took me buggy dashing yesterday with {he return trip being made via shoe leather express. As we rattles along smoothly as is poasible for a fliv- ¥ok on a country road Andy decides 1 time to quit swallowing the dust trom the buggy in front. In trying to Puns his trick flivver bounces off the road and gets stuck up to the hub eaps in the soft earth. Luckily we was stalled near my unkle Os- wald’s farm so I tells Andy to see 1t he can borrow a horse or some- thing to pull us out. * He goes to the farm returning in a few minutes all smiles with a mule, which musta been a spare, judging. from the worn out appear- abce. "I couldn't get a horse,” grins this comical looking from the shoul- dérs up fella of mine, “so I got his nearest relation.” “They may be re- Ited,” I snickers, “but neither of *em boast of the relationship.” After tting the mule all hitched with no place to go but forward Andy gives the sigaals thats supposed to shift Rim into high gear. The mule lunges forward like a released spring, the lloiv\'er moves about 2 feet when the tow-ropes broke, with Andy shouting “Whoa" and other things 1 won't mention, even to you. *Not being discouraged Andy again Bends over to hitch the motive pow- ¢r where it'll do the most good. while humming an old song *I R&Ver 8ee Maggie Alone.” *“You'll mever see Maggie at all,” I says, as the mule misses him with a wicked Jert, “if you don’t keep away from Mis lower artillery.” “That boy’s Hoofs ain't much for size,” chuckles Andy, side-stepping another, “but what he has got he can highly rec- emmend. He's not so good at long range but move up the target and be's a wonder.” Quoting poetry something I says, “A mule’s noofs, like lightning, seldom strikes twice in the same place.” ‘‘“They don't have to,” mutiers Andy, getting outa the way of a fast éme that woulda. sent him home ,zmmuz waitipg for me if it had janded, “as whatever they strike bas moved 30 quickly and traveled &b far they don’t get a second shot.” Heing all set to try again Andy tells me to climb behind the wheel so's 12.we do get out I'll be able to keep the buggy from pushing the mule. ebjects on account of thinking the otd boy might run away with me. “A ‘mule never becomes frightened enough to run away with a buggy,” mys Andy soothingly, “‘because when Nis hoofs get through playing with whatever is behind ‘em there ain't enough pieces left for him to run gway with." Although this cheers me the same way measles does the neigh- borhood I gets behind the wheel but nothing happens as the mule gets & stubbern streak that would be a credit to a whole army of ‘em. He'd réEr up on his hind legs, paw the ossne wtih his front hoofs like he'd &9 It he could only get atarted, then @8% down on the front ones and use those in the rear for setting-up ex- ereises. Hed spend more strengin and energy to keep up from moving 5.yards than it'd tak to haul us a mile. It seems his only regret was that he but had one pair ‘of rear hgofs to do his kicking. “#Try coaxing him,” I suggests, as h¥ (the mule, not Andy) braces his legs 20 far apart the framework al- mest touched the ground. “Sure,” grims Andy, “as soon as I can get a fénce between him and me.” Evi- dently the mule belonged to a work- ing union or something because he decides to call work off for the dav (and when a mule decides to call it a'day he don't mean some time to- merrow) 20 Andy unhitches him. The mule proves he ain't so dumh by galloping for home after handing U3 the raspberries by broadcasting a telumphant bray, We also heads for home with Andy laughing and re- marking that the mule wasn't such & bad fella but is like us humans, he dislikes to be led and hates to be driven, “It's a funny world.” he continues. “some people hitch tficir wagon to a star—" “Yeah.,” I interrupts, “but when your's is hitched to a mule the safest way to travel is to get out and walk.” MARY ANN.
