A Lion Killed by q Dog.

John Gaylor, a noted hunter of tho
Wind Mountains, has breed of dogs
famous for their fierce courage and act
tive strength. They arc pure cross
between the bloodhound and the best
English bulldog. Many bear, elk and
mountain lion have these dogs brought
to bay and assisted in staying. Hair
sentatives of the gallant and efficient
breed. Not long since Nr. Gaylor was
aroused from sleep during the night by
piteous bawling in his calf pen and an
uproar among his dogs. fastening
out, he perceived by the light of bril-
liant moon two lions making off. They
had come for veal, and nearly Sue
ceedcd in getting it. The next night
MIR. Gaylor watched his corral, but The
wary brutes did not come. The fol-
lowing night there came from the
snowy SUBMITS of the Wind Mountains
light snowfall. The old hunter was
now sure of his game.
Taking Hair and Hide in tho carly
morning be sailed forth. In short
time his course WAS crossed by the
trail of the whole family. The dogs at
once sped along the freshly-tracked
snow, and soon the game was found in
a leafy covert of pine and quackiDg
aspen. Pushing his way through the
snow-iaden boughs the huLter came in
close sight of the family. Thelion was
standing on the trunk OF huge fallen
pine, bis long tail swinging from side
to side, while his eyes flashed with q
green ii 9. The .lioness was crouched
at short distance off at the foot of an
.ther huge tree, in the forks Of which
could be seen two active whelps. Hare
and Hide at once sprang for the lion,
and savage fray began.
The combat between the royal
brute and his fierce and active foes now
became terrific. Gaylor watched the
lioness and the fight. He was sure of
bis dogs. and wanted them to kill their
enemy alone. Even If he had been dis
posei to lend helping hand, such was
the fierce confusion Of the struggle that
he would have been as liable TO have
hurt bis faithful friends as their savage
foe. After ten minutes struggle the
deep growl of tie lion became more
faint; soon they ceased entirely. and
the proud hunter beheld his two brave
dogs. one at the broad muzzle Of the
mountain king and the other at his
wide haunch. The lion was dead and
fairly ''stretched out" to use an ex-
pressive Westernism. Hair and Hide
were dripping with gore from a dozen
different wounds. both deep and sore.
They were on the fight still, however,
and wanted to attack the lioness at
once, but Gaylor would not allow them
to do any more, and a ball from his
rifle stretched the ]ioness in death.
Each of the whel ps demanded bullet,
and whole royal family had paid the
stern penalty of their tyrannical Gus
toms.

HOW A KIND ACTION

Changed the Course Of = Woman's Life.
A little incident was brought to the
attention of reporter, yesterday,
which illustrates in a marked degree
how much good little act of kindness
may accomplish. About twelve years
ago young girl, only about IS years
of age, was brought into tho Police
Court charged with being disorder]y
person. She was fatherless and mother
less, and had led life which was quite
the opposite of refining in it's tendencies.
But still her face was round and rosy,
and with her golden hair she was a
beautiful child. What to do with Ter
was question with the authorities.
She was undoubtedly guilty of what
she was charged with, and the only
remedy for her case seemed to be
short term of confinement. Just as
she was to be sentenced, however. =
well-known attorney who was present
asked to be allowed few moments
conversation with the girl, which was
granted. At its close the gentlemen
surprised the court by asking that the
girls case be dismissed, promising that
he would be responsible for her actions
in the future. As it was the easiest
way out of the dilemma, the judge was
only too glad to comply with the gen.
tleman's request, and the self-appointed
guardian walked out of the courtroom
with his protege in charge. He secured
employment for her as a domestic in a
private family, and made her promise
to come ant sea him as often as posi-
ble. The girl lived up to her agree
ment, and the gentleman kind treat
her little troubles completely won her
heart. Time passed rapidly, aud the
little girl became young woman.
She was an excellent houskeeper, her
character was beyond reproach. She
became more and more beautiful as
she matured in years, until at 19 she
met a wealthy railroad man, who fell
deeply In love with her. She returned
his affection, but when he asked her
hand in marriage she refused him. He
pressed his suit. however, and finally
she related to him the story of her ear
ly life. giving it as the reason why she
had refused his suit. Her lover was
not thus to be driven from her. aud she
finally gave consent to the marriage.
The wedding occurred shortly after
wards, and tho newly-wedded pair took
up their residence in an elegant home
in Western city, where they now live.
Last week beautiful woman, hand
somely dressed, arrived in the city and
called upon the lawyer above referred
to. At first he did not recognize her,
but when she spoke of the ]ittle girl
whom he had taken from the Police
Court years ago his eyes were opened,
and he knew his visitor to be bis former
protege. Both were deeply affected
by the meeting, and fervent were the
thanks which the lady gave the lawyer
for his kindness to her in the past.
The next day the lady left the city
for New York, and yesterday sailed
for Florida, where she will spend the
winter on an extensive plantation
owned by her husband. Through her
benefactor the story reached the ears
of Bee reporter, but the condition
was imposed that no names should be
used. The story is a remarkable one,
and, as remarked before, shows how
an act of Kindness can completely
change the course of q Omaha
Bee.
