Ted saw instantly that this was going to result in disaster if not
stopped, as the frightened steers, feeling Gladiator's sharp horns,
turned back on the herd, and were pushing their way frantically into the
center of it, while others, coming up, were forced upon the bull's
horns.
"Darn a stubborn bull, anyhow!" exclaimed Ted. "I've got to get in and
put a stop to that, or Gladiator will have the herd to milling or
running in less than ten minutes."
"Be careful," was all Stella said, but there was a world of anxiety in
her voice.
"You better get out of the way, Stella," said Ted "Ride to the rear.
You will see it all, and have just as much fun, and will be out of
danger."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to make that bull move along or bust a string."
Ted's jaw was set with determination, and when Stella saw that she knew
that it would be useless for her to say anything more.
Ted loosened his rope, grasped his quirt firmly, and rode slowly toward
the bull, while Stella signaled to Billy Sudden to ride up to the head
of the herd.
