For several moments they watched
him as he tormented a bull in the cat
tie pen. which he had entered, armed
only with stick, at the end of which
vas fastened an iron prong, and APP
plauded his cleverness in sdestepping
the charges of the enraged animal
Suddenly it became apparent that he
was taking risks greater than the pro-
fessional bull fighter usually exposes
himself to, and a cry of horror went up
from the crowd when he stood direct
~ in the path of the bull and adj
justed his body so that one of the
horns must penetrate near his heart
The animal struck him and as he
fell, it became maddened by the sight of
