"A mule?" said the boaster, "I'll bel you a hundred dollars of that." " Done 1" said the other. " Done !"' said the boaster. Now cover that said the owner of the mule, laying down a hundred dollars. The boaster began to be frightened at this. He thought there must be something more about the mule than he was aware of, otherwise his owner wouldn't plank a hundred dollars, to run him against a horse. He began to hitch about uneasily. He put his hand into
his pocket; he pulled it out again; and at last said: " I don't know, I jwow.
about that tarnal mule; he may be the
devil and all to run, for what I know."
Do you back out then?" " Yes, I back out and treat."' So say
ing, he called for the liquor; butdeclated
that his horse could beat any thing which went upon four legs, except the mule."
" Why," said the other, "I've got a
jackass that will beat him."
" 1 II bet a hundred dollars ol that, '
said the boaster.
" Done !" said the other. And "done '." said the boaster. " Cover that said the man, again putting down the hundred dollars. " Cover that 1" exclaimed the boaster,
"so I will plaguy quick," taking out his pocket-book. " Well, cover it, if you dare and I'll put another hundred atop of it. Why do you hesitate? Down with your dust, 1 say." " I don't know faith, I never saw that jackass of yours run,' said the boaster,
beginning to hesitate, "he may ne the devil and all upon a race, for what I know.'' " Do yen funk out, then?" " Yes, fummca this time; but, by jingo, there's nothing else you can bring, except the jackass and the mule, but my
horse can beat." " Are vou certain of that, my good fellow?" "I think so faith." " Why, if you're not quite certain,
