break in the line is over familiar
country for New Workers, along the
Hudson shore. II takes three full
days and twenty.one hours to make
the trip comfortably, though the &C
tual tra1 cling time is but forty-f1ye
hours and twenty-four minutes. The
distance covered is 1,143 miles, 1877
on steam roads and $50 on trolley
cars. In one day 297 miles are coy.
cred in sixteen hours of fast electric
travelling.

drawn down and fastened securely. But
all the boys decided to find safe refuge
in the trees, thus giving more room to
the girls; and seated about on tree
branches, some ten feet from the ground,
or in the trees crotches higher up, they
were quietly waiting the maneuvers of
the bull which stood still behind the
bushes, looking wildly toward the pic
nickers. Mrs. Thomas remained beside
the wagonette, preparatory to getting in
side the closed vehicle as soon as the
animal showed any signs of visiting the
picnic grounds.
After five minutes spent thus the bull
decided to come to the front, and Mrs.
Thomas got inside the wagon. Her only

where there was plenty of fresh, green
grass for them to feed upon and q spring

But Mrs Thomas feared the bull might
wander in their direction and, seeing
them, take it into his ugly head to gore
them, for their ropes held them fast
to within space of twenty feet.
Out of the bushes came Mr.. Bull walk
ing calmly toward the picnic spread.
Mrs. Thomas kept her eye on him, look

The bull is fastened to a lariat and can
not come within fifty feet of our camp.
But all stay where you are till L lnvestl-

of the wagonette and went over to with
in few feet of the tied animal. He did
not seem to relish her approach and
shook his head, paved the earth. bel
lowed and showed his rage, but the rope
was secure and strong, and kept him

how angry and unsociable you are,
said Mrs. Thomas. But that rope OF
yours Is very strong. That is what l
wanted to know l guess you won't be
able to bother us, but it is just as well
for us to move our camp.
Then the children were allowed to come
to earth and two of the boys offered to
run to farmhouse, about quarter OF a
mile from the grove, and to ask If this
animal belonged to the farmer living
there, and, if SO, to ask if some farmland
might come and move the bull a little
farther from the picnic ground. Mrs.
Thomas thought this a good idea, and
Harry and George Grey hurried off to-
ward the farmhouse.
Pretty soon the two boys returned to
the picnic ground accompanied by u

said, doffing his straw hat to Mrs.
