THE RACE AT DEVIL'S KNUCKLES By JAMES O. FACAN IKI r abort Uory rub. Co.) T'lOUOH Jo Bunborn, otherwla C'ullfortiln Joe, wu known by nam and reputation to every gold digger In Houth Africa dur ing the eurly ai-ventlea, yet ther wai on aide to his character that waa not fully niireclntnd until aom time after hla arrival at I'llgrliu'i Heat hla de votion to the "Slur and Stripe." Pilgrim' fleet, with Ita population of on thousand white, half British subject and perhapa a hundred Amr. Icutia, altuated about on hundred and fifty mile northwest from Del goa bay, and as you approach th place from th Transvaal aide, you nolle th wagon road befor you wind up a very precipitous and rocky hill to a plateau above, ou which the flagpole, die courthouse and th poet ofllc were at thnt time located. Ther are four distinct break or horlxoutul ridge on th face of this hill, and th particular piece of ground from th plain below to the plateau above waa known a th Devil' Knuckle. Now, from th fact that every pound of provisions bud to b huuled up thl four-ribbed precipice, it Is easy to uuderstaud that th dig ger took considerable lulerest la the Devil Knuckles. At that time It was not known with any d.:r-e of certainly whether I'll grlm'a Kent belonged lo th Boer, the I'ortuguese or th Ilritlsh, and to settle th (juration forever th British resldiiits got together and put up a fliigttnir. Hut befor they had tlm to holat their flag th Irish coiitlnKent apared upou the scene, and as thoae who did not want to atari a row were In the majority, th Uagpol remained unadorned. It was then that th American col ony auddenly became aware that It had a country, too, which was "som potato" forthwith Its representa tiveCalifornia Joe notified th boll day committee of Digger' day, th on day lu th year which had been choeen for a general Jollification at th Bel da, thul it would be a good Idea to holat th Star and Stripe on th aforementioned llrltlah flagpole on that day, leaving the pel at th serv ice of th other oalloo for Ui rest of tli year. , Ilut aa unanimous consent could not b obtulned to (hi proposition, th diggers' committee finally decided upon a novel competition to settle th flag raising question. Th rival nation Wer severally Invited to enter a apan of oien and wagon In a hill-climbing Contest up th Devil' Knuckle, to be held on th morning of Diggers' dsy. rty six o'clock ou th morning of that day fully fifteen hundred differ and friends from Mac-Mac, Leyden burg, and surrounding places, aa well a two or three thousands Ksltlra. wer spread out over the Knuckles, atuloua ly awaiting for th first span to start. It w aa calculated that nine tenths of th digger In I'llgrlm' Kent bad wagered every ounce of gold duat In their Dnsaeaslon on their favorite span, and consequently It was a very noisy and excited crowd. Klv span of oxen were entered In th contest, and lu drawing for th rotation In starting, th American took the lust place. Tle first on the list wss th German entry, a heavy, deep-chested and pow erful spun of ltuauto cattle, twenty four In number. They crested th first Knuckle In three minute and fifteen seconds, the second In six minute and twenty seconds, th third In eleven minute and fifty-two seconds, and crossed the line at the top In an even sixteen minutes, beating the record for the climb by a few seconds. Then the Irish span of Natal oxen went up In gallant style and beat the German by tweuty second. Th llocr spun of long-horned Cape steer then tried It, but couldn't stand the pace, and broke dowu completely before reaching the top. Next In order came the llrltlah string. Thla wa a magnificent span of whit bell lea, driven by a veteran transport rider, a Scotchman named Mclnloah. After th grandest kind of a drive, which wa finished amid a pandemonium of nols and excitement, they succeeded In tying the Irishmen to th (putting of a second. Finally th great loaded buck wugon wa again run down to th foot of th hill, and th American atrlng of twenty-eight coal-black Zulu ateer was quickly lined up and slipped un der the yokes. Then the driver of the teum, a giant Knlllr, bearing the name of AJax and conceded to be the clever est whip In oil South Africa, bad a conference with Cultfomla Joe. "Look here, boss," said the Kaffir, "In my country at every festival the rattle are driven past the witch doc tor and the head doctgr point hla finger at a steer and y!lls, 'llulula,' which mean kill. Immediately the people take up the cry of 'llulula,' and muke a rush for the doomed animal, and the cattle, understanding only too well the meaning of thul dreudful yell, break In headlong flight out of the kranl, lu a mad stampede for liberty. Now, bone, when we gut started up that lust Knuckle" California Joe understood, nnd Just then a rifle shot, which was the signal for starting, rang through the air, and the American string of shnrt-llmhed Zulus iiiuiIh a brlxk start for the first Knuckle. Singling out the hnsty steers by name and commanding them In a voice tliut sounded like' a low growl to take It easy, AJax very coolly sur mounted the first Ktiuckle beaten by very spun lu th contest. The result was highly disappointing to the Americans, but the grin on the good-natured face of the giant AJnx widened a full Inch. Clipping a few second off the regulation breathing pell, ha started his string for the second Knuckle, and now moved the length of his spun, emitting a strange, sound like the buzzing of a wasp, while overbeud his forty-foot lash waa screaming and whistling like a nor' wester through the rigging of a ship. Passing over the second Knuckle, the American string wa still thirty second to the bad, but AJnx uow wok up. With a yell that brought th crowd on the hlllsld to their feet, he launched Ida steers at th third Knuckle. Ill whip rung and whined and zipped through th air. In pas sionate human like tones It coaxed, It Implored, It threatened, and now and then culminated la a feurful crack that could be heard lulls away. Under this herolo treatment, through a cloud of dust tliut half burled them, yet with a line as straight a an ar row, the American string cleured the third Knuckle, now only four second to th bad. They wer at last within cheering distance of the top, and that grin, stretching from ear to ear on the face of AJax, Indicated that something was about to happen. It cume like a clap of thunder, a prolonged yell of "Hu-la-la I" from the lusty throat of the whole American colony and the hun dred of friendly Kaffir lined up on either aide, and Ilk a squadron of cavalry th terrified oxen rushed at th fourth and last Devil Knuckle. Every pinch of gold dust In Pil grim's Best, more than half the real property of that mining camp, such aa store, and the majority of claims of the adjacent country, hung lu the bal ance, liable to Chung hand In th twinkle of au eye. The voice of AJax could be dis tinguished amid the din, encouraging hla atrlng In thunder-Ilk tone, and uow, auddenly passing with a rush from th rear to th head of hla col umn of plowing, fonin flunked oxen, h fired a final volley of deafening crack and led th way over th Hue In a whirlwind finish, a victor by a margin of three seconds. So the Star and Stripes waved for one day from the Ilritlsh flagpole at I'llgrlm Itest, and when the flag wa taken down I'llgrlm' Itest followed it. California Jo took possession of the store which he had won on the race and moved them a mile and a half down the creek, where the American claim were located, and hla country men, conforming to hla patriotic ex ample, atralghtway removed all th building that they had won which comprised almost tli whole of I'll grim' Itest to th eaina locnllty. Th post office went also, for It had been wagered and lost on the great race at I "evil's Knuckles. So not only did the string of tittle coal-bluck Zulu steers, driven by the giant AJax, holat the Stars and Stripes over I'llgrlm' Itest, but also drew I'll grlm' Iteat after th American flag Into American-ruled territory.
