Hawley, finding that Juggling would
not avail pulled an apple out Of his
| pocket and held Il to the pigs nose and
I then rolled it along the road in front of
him The pig pursued it eagerly and
after he had caught UP with it and
, eaten II trOtted along so cOntentedly,
| that Hawley faneied he was going to
get his lantern easily, when at the
ilrst mile post the pig suddenly changed

pony wheeled in his tracks and started

Eaulted on his back and tried to turn
MN around. But the pony was not To he
/ Easily turned. He had no desire to go to
market and he bucked and reared and
pranced on his forelegs quite nernepdic-
! uiar. But If HaWley could not[tirn him

Hawley was delighted and began IN
wonder whether a chafnless bike would
De naH as rice as a pony but while he
I was wondering the second mile post was
reached and he found himself on foot
carrying III his hands a mouse.
l dare say that If Plat had been able to
get as far in the journey as this he
would nave been utterly discouraged and
castlng the mouse aside he would have
returned nome But / don't believe You
could have made Hawley understand
what turning back meant The old man
had told MIN TO go to PaysOnville with
an animal and even If Il turned into q
lady bug he would go to Paysonville and
closed.
The mouse was friendly little animal
- o~I-
Hawley fass-ned him to his button hole
ana put him in his jacket pocket and
made the next mile in seven minutes
AS he was passing the mile post his
pocket was torn as by heavy weight and
the mouse became savage bull dog who
tugged at heavy chain TO the imminent
danSer OF Hawley's button hole.
HaWley was not frightened but he saw
Jhat caution was necessary. IF loose
the dog said he TO himself. hell prob
aolN chase me, but If / can keep ahead
OF him to the next mile post he'll change
10 something else and I'll take my
chances that it won't be as bad as a saw
age dog
SO he hastily removed the chain and
threw 1t away and then took to his heels
ana as he had expected the dog followed
him at gait that would have won him
the race If it had been Plat who was
running from him But Hawley had won
more than one medal for long distance
running and he kept three or four PAGES
ahead of the dog until he came in sight
Of the next mile post and then he stubbed
his toe and went headlong.
he regained his feet with the dog not
ten feet behind him and once more took
up the pace, but the fan had winded him
and he felt that he belonged p. he dog
unless something happened soon
And that something did hapT ne dog
IN turn missed his footing n e feet
from the mile stone and I e had
ceased rolling end over end turned
into a ball
] am inclined to think that t would
have given up the journey the nd there
Tor the bull seemed to have inherited the
savage disposition of the dog ana charged
on Beverage with fury.
Just in time. Hawley took advantage of
an overhanging apple bough and swung
himself out of reach of those terrible
horns.
He had now few moments for refec-
ton.
The old man told me to sell my ami
NAL in the market. Like as not this bull
viii change into d sparrow at the next
mile post and then where will ] be A
sparrow wouldn't bring enough to buy
monkey wrench or a bicycle bell. 1 wish
that the market was two miles nearer"
All this time the bull was acting in a
highly eccentric manner, even for an en-
