momentous was the undertaking In its far-reaching effect,, and prayed for guidance that they might be wholly led of the Lord. The Journey three days in a northeast direction from Cuzco was quite an undertaking, more difficult than the journey to Cuzco from the railway. Little Howell Foster, Jr., one month old, added to the problems of the journey. However, all went well until about noon, when the little party of missionaries and their attending Indians met a group of men driving several cattle, one of which was a bull that had been teased until It was furious. Bull fighting is very common in all the mountain republics of South Amer ica, and here was one in just the right mood for a fierce fight. The meeting took place on a narrow part of a road that wound up the mountain side, and was fraught with danger. One side of the road rose to great heights, the other side descended to a great depth. Pulling his gun Into position William aimed at the angry beast, for he had carried the gun as a protection against wild animals. The men begged him not to shoot, as that bull was the only one they had ready for the fight. It was a dangerous position, for they were in such close quarters. There was plenty of room to pass on horseback but passing an angry bull was a different matter. Crowding close in front of the bull, and covering it with his rifle, William let the others of his party pass on, and although the bull glared, with blood In his eyes, at the passing people and animals, it made no lunge at them. At the first move William would have shot It Instantly. After the others were safely past, he told the owners of the bull to lead bim on, and as he and his mule hugged the cliff the bull and his owners passed on. But just when safety seemed assured, William’s mule, possibly fearing an attack from the rear, sprang forward and came too near the outer edge of the mountain trail, struggled for his lost balance, and in the end mule and rider disappeared from, sight. Rose, after passing on safely, turned in her saddle to watch the rest of the company pass the bull, and saw William and his mule fall from the trail. With the audible prayer, ” 0 God! save him,” she dis mounted, ran to the place where he had disappeared, and throwing herself on the ground peered over. Trembling so that she could scarcely see, she gazed below} before she could regain her voice William called to her. 'Tm all right! We are wedged against some buBhes. Send one of the men down to help get the mule up.” It was true, William and his mule had been stopped a hundred feet or more down the side of the mountain, their fall broken by bushes and small saplings. It took more than a half hour foruWilllam, with the help of a powerful Indian, " D E F E N D T H E F A I T H !
