Lee was out hunting with Bobby
Crow when he entered the wrong
field. 1t was definitely wrong be-
cause there was a bull in the same
field that hadn't heard of Lees
craftsmanship.
What the bull didn't know, how
ever, was that although Lee and
Bobby might fail in the clutch
with a gun, nevertheless they can
beat a swell retreat when properly
approached.
The bull approached in approved
manner, but Lee must have thought
he was fooling because he didn't
go into the retreat formation soon
enough. There was a sharp bump
from behind and for a few sec
onds Lee was doing an act very
similar to manout on an elephant,
only more painful.
That was when Lee finally got
into action and his manner of
beating retreat, though undigni-

This special emissarv of Lord

Simnett terms any such arrange
