A PATIENT FOE.

One day this summer while was out
in the country I was sent to another farm
about three miles away, to ask the farm
er if he would come the next day and
help us with our harvest. I started at
four o'clock in the afternoon; when I had
covered about mile heard something
running and suddenly saw mad bull
about twenty yards in front Of me. He
stopped short when he saw me, but only
for moment. Then he charged me. For
tunately there was tree near, and /
climbed to safety just in time. He
charged the tree and his horns struck it
and went in three inches. It took about
half an hour to work them out. The bull
stood under the tree nearly Eve hours
waiting for me to come down. The night
grew cold and I shivered till my teeth
chartered. At last he grew tired and [
went on my errand. When I was pass
ing farm saw a dark object, that look
ed like wolf, walking towards me. I
stopped and I thought my last moments
had come. Nearer and nearer it came and
when it was about five yards away saw
it was only one of our neighbor s dogs.
continued on my way without further
trouble and arrived at my destination
