the enormous head of the bull Gitano.
The spectators hardly breathe; many
of the women cover their eyes with
their hands. 1t is a terrible moment.
The bull is a superb animal, with q
powerful neck and long, straight
horns. He raises his head, looks
around, and at once bounds upon the
white statue.
1t is with the greatest difficulty that
one can restrain a cry of horror; ones
sensations are too painful, and long
endurance of such emotion would bs
IN nbearable.
Donna Tancreda is as rigid as mar

fatal to her.
The bull starts back, looks at his
strange adversary, and then with 8
terrible bound rushes up to the pedes-

more the bull stops short withoui
striking. He draws hack q few feet
and, taking advantage of this, Donns
