The evening being chilly, was wear
ing at the time one Of those camlet
cloaks, lined with red flannel, which
were very much in vogue for boys in
those days. A strong wind was blow
ing, and just as we got within about 50
yards of the bull. heavy gust threw
one side of the CLOAK over my shoulder.
thus exposing a large eSpanse OF the
lining.
On catching sight of this obnoxious
color, the bull changed in one moment
from a peacefuny-grazing beast to Il
maddened monster, and, with hoarse,
believing roar, lowered head and up
lifted tail, charged furiously upon me.
There was No shelter-not even a
stump or tree near us, and the crazed
brute had but so yards or SO to come.
Flight on my part would have been
worse than useless, even if had
thought of it, which did not. But
in my mortal fright, l did think to
gasp; Carlo! Carlo! Sick him.
Carlo!p-a needless command. for,
swift as an arrow and tierrely as an en-
ragged tiger, the good dog sprang for
weird. not squarely in front of the bull
but with q little detour. Then, wheel
ing about, he GANG alongside the
beasts shoulder, and deftly seized him
by the nose. Now the tables were
turned with a vengeance. No longer
was the bulls deep roar the exultant
trumpeting OF 81 assured conqueror;
in n second it changed to the pitifnl
calf-like bleating of beaten coward,
as, distracted by pain and fright, he
tossed his head aIoft in a vain attempt
to free himself from the vise-ike grasp
Of those jaws. which would neTer let
go except at masters bidding or I'M
| til victory was achieved.
Finding all his efforts Of no avail. the

 Tempe Is very dull oven though the prospects for the future are good.
