trotted into the house she determined
to try and overcome her fear
The very next day she started out to
cure herself. When no one was look-
ing she took a berry pall and stole out
to the barn where the salt was kept.
With the pall of salt upon her arm
she trudged straight out to the cattle
pasture. Her Jittle heart wenf chug

seemed to stick to the ground and puil
back, and say “0. Sally. anywhere

But they took her there. She let
down a bar and crawled through.
There was a tree in the middle of the
pasture and she headed for that call-
ing
“Co, boss' Co, boss!
The cattle at the far end of the pas-
ture heard her call and lifted their

Sally shook like am aspen leaf, but
held her ground, for the reason that
she was too far from the fence to run

salt far and wide
Within a few feet of her they
