Pale and trembling, Amy arose. But it was very evident that she had suffered no serious harm, for the dog had not reached her, and she had simply collapsed on the grass, rather than fallen. The dog, choking and growling, was firmly held by the hired man, who seemed to have no fear of him.

as the farmer's man, crossing the yard diagonally, was able to intercept the dog. "Run to the left, Miss! Run to the left!" he cried. Then, leaping the low fence at a bound, he threw the pitchfork he carried at the dog with such skill that the handle crossed between the brute's legs and tripped it. 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. 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!" "That's what I'm doin'!" responded the hired man. "Is th' gal hurted? Land sakes, I never knew Nero to act so!" went on the farmer apologetically. "He must have been teased by some of th' boys.
