"There he is, at the fence. See, he is trying to get over!"
The fence she mentioned was of stones piled loosely, one on top of the other. The bull was striking at the stones with his front hoofs. Soon some came down, and then the animal leaped out into the roadway. Then he gave a snort and looked at the girls curiously.
Now as ill luck would have it, each of the twins wore a red shirt-waist. This color enraged the bull, and with a wild snort, he lowered his horns and rushed at the pair, as if to gore them through and through.
CHAPTER XX
THE ROVER BOYS AND THE BULL
About an hour after Lew Flapp and his cronies left camp, Dick Rover and his brothers received permission to do likewise.
"Let us go to the village," suggested Tom. "I want to buy some cough drops. My throat is raw from the wet weather."
"And I want to get some reading matter," added Sam. "A good story of some sort would just suit me."
"I wouldn't mind a magazine or two myself," came from Dick. "But I don't know if Oakville can supply them."
They were soon on the way, each in the best of spirits. Tom began to whistle and his brothers joined in.
