WHEN. FURLONG STUCK BIG .
i ' SHARKEY TWELVE SECONDS
' V EASTERNER WAS INITIATED
When i Charles Wellingtoiv-Fur-londt
soldier, university professor,
world hunter and artist, and a
lot- jjof other interesting: things,
stayed for 12 seconds on the back
of Sharkey, the bucking bull, he
earned the right to write what he
will abont the west, Sharkey wa-
the ! worst bucking brute that
mankind ever bestrode in the hl
torj of the west; no man ever
reupy rode him to a finish, of ail
the dazzJinK riders who have made
the' western ranee famens u th
home of the .best riders. In the

ton-weight bulls,' with a separate

. JV'ell. Furling earned the risht
ioi write it upjn his own way;
ana he has done it. He broke hJs
wrist In that Sharkey contest:
maybe that's why he writes curi
ously; i maybe the wound didn't
neal quite normally anyhow, it'n
altogether a "different" book, his
book, "Let 'Er Buck," an epic
of .the buck-jumping western
tange.
It is an Oregon book, starting
and ending with the Pendleton
Round-Up; though incidentally
ringing in a thousand other rough-
riding facts and fancies. It is tne
Rodeo and the choutin' range
done in grand opera. One listens
to and enjoys the splendid arias,
choruses and the soul-stirring or
chestras of many an opera, mer
cifully written and sung in for
eign tongues so that oue doesn't
have to ponder on the banalities
of the story Itself. The music
loving public a few years ago
heard "The Girl of the Golden
West," a rather punk story no,
not quite that; a common thcugh
thrilling every-day story, but set
to music a3 foreign as a blast fur
nace Is to a ponud of butter, or
as the devil is to hoiy water. It
takes one a long while to recon
cile such a workaday story to Fuch
wonderful singing, such crashing
orchestral chords, such miraculous
costumes.
"Let 'Er Buck" is indred an
other such a work, in prose. It
poems overdone, -a lamorour,; ro-
irantic nightmare cf japorte ; nru
sical, scintillating words Sung
like an roliau harp. !a ; the ccw

the. i 10-year-old, who sees The
West as the harbor of ais golden
dreams, and every deed a feat
performed before the court of the
king.

real silks and satins and diam
onds and feminine loveliness in
the courts of royalty, but who
still holds that the wide-hatted
riders of the Rodeo aT the great
est men in the world!
What a strange vision and
choice of scene!
Va a curious book curious in
its physical make-up for it wig
gles derisive fingers at conven
tional punctuation, at tenses and
times, at many staid canons of
printlve and grammatical art! , Jt
would seem almost grotesque if It
wasn't so sincere in its devotion
to the cause the wide-hatted,
bandanna-handkerchiefed, six-gun
cowboy of the west. Maybe in
these later days most of the rid
ers pictured have concealed the
killiad and Mr. Colt's great work
on homicide; but the inward eye
sees the long black guns always
there ready for the draw, and
the sinewy finger and the steady
Ieye ready for instant use and
there's a new thrill every second.
One. may snicker at the book;
or sneer, or stare, or sigh but
in the. end one will read it and
say, "That's a wonderful pictura
of LIFE! I wish I wish that
I had the nerve to do what those
range boys do! If I only was
younger if I only daredbut
say, those are real men. and I'm
glad to know 'em'even in a book!"
The book was written at Pen
