is strong. What is this lock made of?" asks the bull, as he grasps
another pair of hands. "Bronze," may be the answer. "And this?"
"Copper." The next reply, "I can break copper!" shouts the bull.

He then makes a feeble effort to break through, or it may be that he
is doing his best, but he knows he cannot get out in that way.
Suddenly he wheels and makes a dash for a part of the ring which he
thinks is weakest. If he gets through he dashes away, with the others
at his heels, and the first boy that tags him is "it" for the next
game.




CHAPTER XIII

"I SPY" AND LEAP FROG, THE EVER-POPULAR GAMES


Like tag, "I Spy" needs no apparatus and no great study. Any boy with
keen eyes and nimble legs can play the game better than a man four
times his age. Of course, "I spy" is not a game of solitaire. It needs
at least two boys, but it will be more exciting if there are five or
six times that number; the more the better.

You know how to select who is to be "it." This done, and a goal or
home selected, "it" remains at the goal and counts up to one hundred
as fast as he can, and this is usually so fast as to eclipse the
lightning calculator whom Barnum charged an admission to see and hear.
