bay-her back to tho abyss, her
face to the lipn. There seemed
no hope now. Death was before
and behind her, hemming her on
both sides.
The lion paused rs she turned
towards him. He uttered a growl
of triumph, and crouched for the
fatal spring.
She strained her child closer TO
her breast. To descend tho dark
depths ot the chasm was prefcra'
ble TO being torn by that savage
monster. There was no time to
lose. In another moment the
tawney body must come swo"p.
ing down upon her.
But now a qnick, wild thought,
a mothers inspiration flashed
through her mind, Under the
armpits she clasped the child with
each hand, and raised it high
above her head, so that the bleed.
ing scratches OIL it's white flesh was
fully exposed to the lions view.
That sight aroused to the full
the uncomfortable desires OF the
savage beast. With q smothcred
roar he shot mp from the rock, his
huge form cleaving the air with
one tremendous bound for the
child.
That was what Mrs. Benton
waited for. by clcvating her
child, she had compelled the lion
to take a lofty leap; AMI now,with
her little one, she quickly sank flat
on the rock, thus eluding the
monster, which went head fore
most out OF sight for evcrmOrc,
into the frightful depths OF the
cbasm.
Nearly senseless from fatigue
and excitement she had under
gone, Mrs. Benton wac sodh after
conveyed to the ship by her re-
.ioiciug friends, who next day left
far behind them the place of that
exciting scene of a mothers peril
and timely stratagem.
