Escaping from a Mad Bull

One evening as l was going home
from school on horseback had to
pass through a field in which a
large red bull was being kept. He
had never bothered me on any Of
my trips. until on this memorable
evening on which my story is cen
tered.
Some hunters had passed through
the field about an hour before and
by their teasing the bull had been
made angry. When he saw me
riding through the field he deter
mined to take his revenge out on
me. The bull came at us roaring
and beating like a whirlwind. My
Horse became frightened and /
was thrown off it's back onto the
ground with the bull charging
down towards me.
The first thing I saw was a tree
and took advantage of It, Soon
was perched on a limb about
twenty feet from the ground. In
my solitude remembered that l
had rope in my pocket. l made
q slip moose on one end of the
rope and threw it over the bulls
head just as he was making an at
tempt to knock the tree down with
his head drew the rope up
tight and tied it around the limb.
Mr.. Bull sushed back b make an

did it's duty. The rope strangled
him and he fell helpless to the
ground. l united my rope and de-
scended to the ground. Seeing the
bull was not in dangerous condi-
ton l tied the rope around the
trunk of the tree near the ground
and scampered OFF to where my
horse was. On returning home l
passed the house of Mr.. Jones who
owned the bulkaand told him where
he would find his ferocious animal.
But I did not care to go back and
renew his acquaintance. myself

In the park, along came cross
looking man called "Ginger" with a
hand-organ and monkey. The lit
tie monkey was named Jumbo. and
he had to dance and dance all day

that he could not dance any longer.
his master would jerk the robe and
make him get the money from the
people who had watched him. As
he held the cup toward Marian,
Jumbo looked right at her with his
great wistful eyes and the little
