There was another cloud of dust, and the bull began backing away, slowly
but surely, shaking its head, as if in pain.
"Screamin' catamounts, did yer see thet, Stella?" cried Bud Morgan, as
he rode alongside the girl,
"What did he do?" asked Stella.
"He's saved hisself by blindin' ther bull. He throwed dust inter its
eyes. I'm dinged if I see how thet feller kin think o' things like thet
when he's down an' out. Look at him!"
As the bull rubbed its face in the grass Ted rolled over twice, then
leaped to his feet and ran to where Sultan was awaiting him.
A mighty cheer went up from the boys, and the color came back into
Stella's face with a rush, but she could not have uttered a sound to
save her life.
In the meantime, the bull had recovered, having rubbed the dust from its
eyes in the short grass, and looked about for its enemy.
It caught sight of Ted in the act of mounting, and sprang toward him
with the swiftness of a deer.
Then Stella recovered her voice.
"Run, Ted! Run!" she cried.
