to their brows TO imply that her beau

The officers salute with the sword

ton. with the hilt opposite the lips.
is a repetition Of the crusaders action

I'm token Of faith and fealty. while low
ering the point afterward implies ei-
ther submission or friendship. meaning
in either case that It is no longer nee
essary to stand on guard. Raising the

planned as a sign that the weaponed
hand is empty and in an inoffensiye po-
sition, but this reason does not seem

1t viii probably not surprise our
readers to hear that most Spanish bull
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may. however, astonish
them. A sportsnanliSe objection to
prosecuting a female animal has moth

that the average toreador Is sincerely
afraid Of n COW.
And he has goodTeason. The cows OF
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker In their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are
more pointed and more formidable.
They do not lower their heads TO the
ground. shut their eyes and charge Ike
locomotive upon the rails, but are
alert and ready to follow every move

like tactics have been adapted not to
blind. bovine frontal attacks, but to the
strategy Of active and cunning beasts
