It will not take me long to reach the hotel, and I shall enjoy the walk, and when I get there I will be sure to find some shed or out-house where the beast can be shut up until it can be decided what to do with him.

I can leave him there and have him legally advertised, and then--if nothing else can be done--he can be shot.

I shall be very glad to have his skin; it will be worth enough to cover his bill here, and the damages to my bicycle.

I shall send for that as soon as I reach the hotel.

I can go to Waterton by train and take it with me.
