his daughter for the cattle under his
charge. There were about eighty among
them, two bulls, one of which MAS occs.

On the day in question, the damsel nm
warily approached the bull too closely,
when he Immediately gave case. On a
level field, without dykes, Dogs, or any
other place of refuge to resort to, what
would the reader have done-for to run
home, a distance of three quarters Of
mile, MAS out of the question. The girl
with great presence Of mind, ran to the
other bull, good natured animal, and

him on the back, she drove him towards
her fathers house followed by her onra.

all the way, but when he came too close,
her protector turned round, and with a
shake and toss of his head he kept the
assailant at bay. In this manner the flu
