the time the schooner was through

CHASE A BULL

spsoiss to the EVENING NEwa.

Jarnesburg, Oct. 6:-This town
has had many excitable eposoldes but
it Is doubtful II any In the towns
history can hold a candle to the at
tempt of superintendent J.. Howard
Coombs to drive a young bull from
upper Jamesburg to The State Home.
along with thirty young yearlfngs.
The herd was headed for the State
Home and mister bull Immediately
took it into his head to retrace his
steps to peaceful Philadelphia, from
where he had coome.
Taking to his heels, he broke from
the herd and ran in the direction Of
Rhode Hall and was finally cornered
In the Mrs. Mary Pullen ~barnyard.
All went well until the town was
again reached, when he attacked Mr..
Coombs, who Immediately gave the
feroocious animal q b~ttle. Soon
the two were in q deadly struggle,
with Coombs gaining the upper hand.
The animal then broke from Coombs
grasp, and with a yelling crowd at his
heels, approached Cruger's Hotel and
headed straight for the entrance.
Edward Snedeker, thinking he
could master the animal from the
stories he had heard, gave the animal
battle also and was bowled yer
Up through the railroad yard went
Mr.. Bull, across the tracks and con-
tinued on to the high bridge where
he entered the field and retraced his
steps to the PuIien farm where he
was again made a prisoner.
Again the return to Jamesburg was
commenced and again Mr.. Bull start
ed for lower Ja~mesburg. Many
pedestrians took to convenient trees
for safety, and open doorways, The
animal was turned AROUND by a
crowd who saw him coming and this
fact led to his undooing.
Again approaching Cruger's Hotel,
John Kenmer, a noted catcher of base
balls thought he could easily manage
the tnimal and forthwith secured a
clothes line and soon the bull was
struggling with the now brave crowd
who had collected to take hold of the
rope after John had skillfully lasooed
him in true western style. The rope
was secured around a stout tree and
otoher ropes fastened to his feet and
a wagonsecured and the now dociIe
youngster vas raised bodily into q
waiting farm wagon and taken to
the home to Join his mooroe docile
companions. No further incidents

ing drift OF the king of them all, the
albatross.
So he hung there in midsky, and the
world, white. frozen. immaculate
looked far away. The old. god-like
serenity. untroubled. untrammeled, un-
afraid. came back to him. The soul
opened Its gates. up there. lost Its
boundaries, and all the spirit of the
sky came in. immense. cold. clear as
the all-pervading ether. This was
Nirvana, though the old Buddhist
adopts who had philosophical about 1t
had never conquered the sky. had
never bathed in It as Cayley on his
wings was bathing now.
The declining moon sank lower, till
the refracting Ice crystals that filled
the air caught its light slantwise and
danced with It SO that 1t hickered like
will-o'-the-w isp. The sky deepened
from its bright steel-blue to purple.
The silver light upon the snow faded.
through lavender and lilac, to a pur-
Pile of its own. only less deep than that
of the sky itself. But the stars burned
brighter and brighter. until 1t almost
seemed they sang:
"Harping in loud and solemn choir
with INEXPENSIVE notes. +"
The words projected themselves
quite unsought into his mind. He
spent moment or two. wondering
where they came from. and then it
came to him. II was part of two
lines from the Hymn on the Ma
tivity."
Somehow, the thought of Christmas
gave his soul a wrench that brought
It back into the world again. They
had lost their reckoning of time, and.
for anything he knew, this might be
Christmas day. Perhaps those stars
were caroling their Christmas chimes.
Perhaps. down in the world OF men.
the windows were hung with holly and
doorways with mistletoe.
Before his thoughts had advanced
as far as that he was flying down to
ward the cliffhead. He could only
guess at the length OF time that had
elapsed since he left Jeanne, on her
heap of skins, there in the mouth OF
the snow tunnel. 1t must have been
an hour or more, for the moon had
been shining when he started, and
now almost the last OF its twilight had
died on the horizon.
A sharp sense of his own delin-
ouency in having left her to her own
resources for SO long. when she had
so few resources to draw upon, in.
creased to sudden alarm for her
safety, when he made out the black
mouth of the tunnel and saw that
there was no light at the farther end
Of 1t. She couldn't have been waiting
all this time. out in the cold; and yet
