Ere Teddy had stepped back the Spaniard took a running start, and, with a leap, landed fairly on the back of the donkey. The latter, taken by surprise, cleared the ground with all four feet and bucked, but the rider had flung his arms about the donkey's neck, clinging with both feet to the beast's body, grimly determined to win that hundred dollars or die in the attempt.
Yes, I shall want to come back when my leg is mended." Mr. Richmond, still leaving on the Donkey's leg the rag Mrs. Richmond had wound around it, put the toy back on the shelf.
