aud among the dogs | found there
was one most interesting creature.
He was a great, numbering, stupid,
.ood-tempered brute, so greedy that
when you offered him piece OF meat
he would swallow half your arm, and
so obedient that at a word he would
dash himself against the horns OF a
bull and face death and danger IN
any shape. But, m. brother told me-
he would not face a skunk-he would
die first. One day | took him out ana
found a skunk, and for upward OF
half an hour | sat on my horse valnly
cheering my cowardly follower and
urging him to battle. The very sight
of the enemy gave him fit Of the
shivers, and when the irascible little
wretch began to advance against us,
going through the performance by
means of which he generally puts his
foes to flight without resorting to
malodOroos measure-stampIng ms
little feet in rage, jumping up, splut-
tering and Kissing and ilourlShlng his
brush like a warlike banner above
/ his head-then hardly could | res
train my dog from turning tail and
/ flying home in abject terror. My
cruel persistence was rewarded at
4 last. Continued shouts, cheers and
/ hand clippings began TO stir the brute
/ to kind of frenzy. Torn by conflict
ing emotions, ne began to revolve
about the skunk at a numbering gal
/ lop. barking bowling and bristllng
up his hair; and at last, shutting his
eyes, and, with yell of desperation,
he charged. | fully expected to sec
the enemy torn to pieces IN few
seconds, but when the dog was still
four or five feet from him the fatal
discharge came, and he dropped
down as if shot dead. For some time
he lay on the earth perfectly motion
less, watched and gently believed by
the victorious skunk; then he got NJ
and crept whining away. Gradually
he quickened his pace, finally break
ing into a frantic run. In vain | fol
lowed him, shouting at the top OF my
lungs he stayed not to listen, anC
very speedily vanished from sight-f
lite speck on the vast plain. A
noon ON the following day he made
his appearance, gaunt and befoulec
with mud, staggering forward like 8
galvanized skeleton. Too worn on
even to eat, he flung himself down
and for hours lay like dead thing
sleeping off the effects of those few
drops of perfume.
