white bull recovered himself completely and re-
gained his lost ground. Both combatants paused for
breath. and the fight hung exactly in the balance
Judging from his antlers, the white bull was the
elder and therefore. may suppose, the crafter
duest. 1t occurred to him now. perhaps, that
against foe so nearly his equal in strength he must
seek some advantage in strategy. He made sud-
den movement to disengage his antlers and jump
backward The intention obvious to the trained
eyes watching from the thcket; but it failed curl
osly At the instant of his effort the dark bull had
surged forward with violence. Not meeting the ex-
pected resistance he taken by surprise and sank
on his knees The white bull, quick to feel the adj
forward with all his weight. For moment the dark
bull seemed to crumple up, his rivals heavng
shoulders lowered above him.

Nov this the white bulls chance. 1t was for
! him to roll his enemy over disengage, rip the
dark bull unfortunate flank, and tread him down.
But he did nothing of the sort. He himself stag
gered forward with the fall of his adversary. Then
he drew back again; but slowly. With the motion
his adversary reganed his feet. And once more the

For half a minute Uncle Adam made no reply.
Then he nodded. Locked, sure enough" he
agreed
But what was so clear to the spectators was ap-
parenty not yet recognized by the combatants; be-
cause, when either tried to back free, to
the attack more advantageousy, it seemed to him
quite natural that the other should fercey follow
him up. In the struggle they p1voted completely
round more than once, and the two COWS, perceiv-
ing something unusual in the combat, drew off with
an annoyed air to the extremity of the sandspit.
Little by little the white bull appeared to be getting
shade the better of the DUEL for at last regainng
his first position he to be forcing his rival
steadily though slowly, back toward the woods.

were tugging frantically to break apart.

utterly in vain. The tough, strong horn of their
new antlers was never so slightly elastic. 1t had
yielded under the impact of their last charge just
far enough for perfect locking: but in the oppo-
extricably and nexoraby fastened together and in
horrid attitude, in which it was impossible to feed
or even to straighten up their bowed necks

Headquarters were opened in Cooper
Union, and here, under the leadership
OF Miss Anthc-.y, was begun the tre,
mendous task of circulating the peti-
dons to congress for an act which
should forever abolish slavery.
For fifteen months she never left her
post. Her report the following May
showed that 25,0OO petitions had been
sent out. The league now numbered
5000 members.
Miss Anthony began this vast work
without the guarantee Of a dollar. Its
cost far exceeded $1,000. and all of
this was raised through her efforts.
Among those who gave lectures to as
sist her were Wendell Phillips, George
William Curtis, William D. Kelly. Ed

the Rev. Stephen H. Lying. Mrs Stan

lex Douglass.
SUBSCRIPTIONS were received from
Gerrit Smith, Jessie Benton Fremont.
the Hovey committee, Robert Dale
Owen and many others Henry Ward
Beecher took up collection in Pym-
outh church. Miss Lucy Stone came
over from Boston to assist in the
work
Senators Charles Sumner and Henry
Wilson wrote Miss Anthony that these
petitions formed the bulwark of their
demand for congressional action to
abolish slavery. Public sentiment had
now become emphatic. and on Feb |.
1865, the thirteenth amendment was
submitted for ratification.
Such is the briefest possible sketch

associates before and during the civil

lasting work of these two loyal. lib

Who We're Leaders In Move.
ment TO Abolish Slavery.
FACED DANGER MANY TIMES.

Human Freedom by Miss Susan B..
Anthony and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton Presented by Man Who Be-
lieves In Woman Suffrage.
Speaking of the part taken in the
anti-savery movement in the United
States by Miss Susan B. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, F. c. Smith
gives the following facts as reason
why Afro Americans should favor wo-
man suffrage.
Mr.. Smith says the first time Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Stanton met each
other was at an anti-slavery meeting
in Syracuse, n. Y, in 1851. From that
time until the close of the civil war
there never was year in which they
did not speak and work for the move
ment 10 eradicate slavery. This re-
quired courage and sacrifice that can
hardly be realized at the present time.
Miss Anthony's home was one of the
underground stations on the road
from the south to Canada.
In 1856 the American Anti-slavery
society engaged her as its organizer in
New York. From that time until the
beginning of the civil war she gave
large part of her time and strength to
canvassing the state and arranging
meetings for the ''Garrisonians," at
which she and Mrs Stanton always
spoke.
IN the winter of 1861 these meetings
in all the towns and cities from Buff
falo to Albany were broken up by
mobS A number of times when all

form iss Anthony stood upon it alone
unflinchingy.
She faced the kissing. yelling and
stamping Of those drunken and in.
furiated mobs. and on more than one
occasion the cleaning of knives and
pistols confronted her When they
spoke at Albany the mayor sat beside
them with revolver in his hand.
In 1868 it became evident that even
the proclamation of President Lincoln
would not be sufficient for the eman.
cipation of the slaves unless it was
supported by congress. Congress was
not willing to give its support unless
authorized by the mandate Of the peo.
Pile. 1t was therefore necessary to Sc
cure a monster petition. Immediately
the political leaders called upon Miss
Anthony to take charge of this great
work. AT once she took up her abode
with Mrs Stanton in New York. They
issued call for mass meeting" of
the loyal women of the nation.
In response an immense audience as.
