or skin Just beyond the eambrel joint, and be-
tween he main cord and bone, then thrust the
other hind leg through the aperture, and then
put the sheep back over the fence, which went Of

Presently, Buuce'S old SOW broke into Sizer's
field, when he caught her, and with a sharp knife
cut her mouth almost from car to e-r, and turned
her back
When Buuce discovered this, he went to Sizer
