the bull would he upon him.
Fortunately he Was near chestnut

He succeeded in climbing the tree
and getting beyond the reach of the
bull just as it reached the spot. Mr.
Merrick supposed that when the bull
found that he was out of its reach il
would 90 hack to its feeding, but the
the vicious animal showed no DISPOSE

ground. and giving vent to its rag in

the huil still held its ground by the
noise it made.
For three hours the hull kept the
old gentleman in the tree Mr. Me--

with no difficulty retain his hold on
the branches, and he was tortured
with the thought that unless assistance
arrived soon he mus, fall from the
tree and be gored and trampled to
d-ath by the Infatuated brute below.
Finally, when he had given up all
hope, the hull became silent and he
could hear it walking slowly awav.
Then Mr.. Merrick determined to leave
the tree and take his chances at get
