rider chung to the slippery horns with
every muscle on the strain.
The top bars separating the barn
yard from the road were down and
the bull, as might be expected, chose
the direction of the road, toward
which he made wild dash. The low
er bars were up, however, and as ne
saw them he came to a sudden stop,
nearly throwing Mrs. MacElroy over
his head.
The frightened farmhands and
others who had seen the bull start
ran after him. The bull, catching
sight of them, once more lifting up
his head, cleared the lower bars at a
leap and started down the road at
terrifying speed, leaving those fol-
lowing far behind.
A quarter of mile was covered in
this way, when once more the bull
stopped suddenly and began to paw
the ground.
Mrs. MacElroy was about - leap
from his back, when some distance
ahead man suddenly turned into the
road driving a gig and wearing a
bright red shirt.
The color caught the eye of the
bull. He instantly ceased his paving
and once more started along the road
at terrific speed. The man saw his
danger and whipped his horse. The
bulls rider chung to her steed like q
jockey.
The awful race which followed last
ed for fully a mile. Mrs. MacElroy
says that toward the end she felt her
strength fast going from her and
closed her eyes, expecting TO be
hurled to the ground and perhaps to
her death at every plunge.
Fortunately the road at this point
ran up a steep hill, and in climbing
It the bull somewhat slackened his
pace. This probably saved Mrs. Mac
Elroy's life. The bull reached the
top only to see the red shirt disap-
pearing in the distance. In the face
of this disappointment the animal
turned quickly and started for home.
In turning he wrenched his rider sud-
denly loose from her seat, throwing
her, by a fortunate accident, into a
clump of bushes.
When her friends reached her she
was in dead faint. Physicians were
hastily summoned and she was car
ried home. Beyond severe nervous
shock she had, strangely enough, suf-
fered no injuries

Is Mrs. Dora MacElroy, of Ashbury

Mrs MacElroy is an experienced

accustomed to being with horses and
cattle.
Her relatives at sherman have

well groomed-and Mrs. MacElroy,
who is visiting there, has been in the
habit of going down 10 the feeding
trough every night TO watch the AMI
mails at their meal.
1t CHANGED that the cattle feed
from a huge trough beside stout
fence.
To get the very best view of her
bovine friends, Mrs, MacElroy would
climb upon this fence to watch them
and pat their noses.
The old bull was looking particu-
larly gentle the other night, accord
ing to Mrs. MacElroy, and even
munched some grain from her hand.
AS he stood there it occurred to her
that his broad back would make an
excellent seat.
The thought no sooner entered her
head than she shouted to her COM
panions to watch her, climbed to the
topmost rail of the fence and vaulted
lightly onto the bulls back.
The effect upon the bull was start
ling, to say the least. With terrlfy-

shaking himself and snorting Violent
