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.

Rifle 8ilencera
The National Rifle association say
that a silencer works on the same
principle as an auto muffler. The tube
Is screwed on the muzzle of the gun.
This tube consists of series of baffle

stead of with a sudden rnsh. It is this
rush of powder gaa from the muzzle
of the gun which create a vacuum,
causing the report when discharged.
