But suddenly two shots resounded, and Hatteras felt the balls graze his head. BUT SUDDENLY TWO SHOTS RESOUNDED AND HATTERAS FELT THE BALLS GRAZE
 both his balls were powerless, and only served still further to madden the enraged beasts. They rushed upon the unfortunate man like furies, and threw him on the ground in an instant. "He is a dead man!" exclaimed the Doctor, in despairing accents. A tremendous struggle was going on in Altamont's breast at the sight of his prostrate foe, and though his first impulse was to hasten to his help, he stopped short, battling with himself and his prejudices. But his hesitation scarcely lasted half a second, his better self conquered, and exclaiming, "No, it would be cowardly!" he rushed forward with Clawbonny. Hatteras full well understood how his rival felt, but would rather have died than have begged his intervention. However, he had hardly time to think about it, before Altamont was at his side. He could not have held out much longer, for it was impossible to ward off the blows of horns and hoofs of two such powerful antagonists, and in a few minutes more he must have been torn to pieces. IRED STRAIGHT AT THEIR HEADS BUT BOTH HIS BALLS WERE POWERLESS AND ONLY SERVED STILL FURTHER TO MADDEN THE ENRAGED BEASTS THEY RUSHED UPON THE UNFORTUNATE MAN LIKE FURIES AND THREW HIM ON THE GROUND IN AN INSTANT HE IS A DEAD MAN EXCLAIMED THE DOCTOR IN DESPAIRING ACCENTS A TREMENDOUSRUGGLE WAS GOING ON IN ALTAMONT'S BREAST AT THE SIGHT OF HIS PROSTRATE FOE AND THOUGH HIS FIRST IMPULSE WAS TO HASTEN TO HIS HELP HE STOPPED SHORT BATTLING WITH HIMSELF AND HIS PREJUDICES BUT HIS HESITATION SCARCELY LASTED HALF A SECOND HIS BETTER SELF CONQUERED AND EXCLAIMING NO IT WOULD BE COWARDLY HE RUSHED FORWARD WITH CLAWBONNY HATTERAS FULL WELL UNDERSTOOD HOW HIS RIVAL FELT BUT WOULD RATHER HAVE DIED THAN HAVE BEGGED HIS INTERVENTION HOWEVER HE HAD HARDLY TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE ALTAMONT WAS AT HIS SIDE HE COULD NOT HAVE HELD OUT MUCH LONGER FOR IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO WARD OFF THE BLOWS OF HORNS AND HOOFS OF TWO SUCH POWERFUL ANTAGONISTS AND IN A FEW MINUTES MORE HE MUST HAVE BEEN TORN TO PIECES
