He dodged about a tree and dropped his ax. For ten minutes he dodged, half scared to death. Then he climbed the tree. The bull butted the tree with its antier.-? nntil it swayed to aiid fro, and then walked away a few yards and rested. The lumbermau yelled some more. When he could yell no longer, he set his wits to work. Just above him was a dead limb. He broke it off, aud as the bull advanced again he set the wood afire and dropped it on the bull's back With a beliow it rail down the mouutaiu. The half frozen lumberman made a line for camp. ■
