Poor Amy stumbled a few steps farther and then Betty, recovering her scattered wits, cried out: "All right, Amy! All right! You're in no danger!" And Amy sank to the ground while her chums rushed toward her. "Hold him, Zeke! Hold him!" cried the farmer, as he came lumbering up. "Hold on to him!"

Turning over and over in a series of somersaults, the dog's progress was sufficiently halted to enable the hired man to get to it. He took a firm grip in the collar of the dog and held on.
