Ihe motorist, who had three friends with him in the car. suddenly saw a strange object ahead. It Iliad, be thought, the figure of a monster dog, its eyes glaring. Deeming it wise to reconnoitre, he brought the car to a standstill, and it was immediately rushed by a hull, the impact lcaiing deep marks on the radiator and bonnet. For a moment the driver thought it would he a simple matter to give the beast the slip, but evey time lie started it made another rush, and the position resolved itself into manoeuvring, with repeated forward and backward movements of the car and check actions by the bull, until, catching a chance, the motorist used the accelerator to escape from a predicament which would have been ridiculous but that it involved danger.
