was out at the other. With a below
the bull made for him. He turned and
again shot like lightning through the
hole The bull once more bore down
upon him, and once more he was in and

This strange pursuit kept up some
ten minutes or more. At first 1t mys-

it angered him.
Hey he shouted. we nincompoop!
Why don't We stay in the hole?
The bull was dashing from one end
of the hole to the other at great speed
and the man was bobbing in and out
desperately. He heard, however, his
comrades shout. and found time before
his next brief disappearance to shout
back:

bear in the hole."
