a BRAVE WOMAN.
Kew She Rescued Her Husband From the
Vengeance of Puma.

Hew She Rescued Her Husband From the
Vengeance of n Puma.
Jabez English, a sheep herder Of this
ncighborhood, was engaged in building
q cabin home. his former one having
been destroyed by fire week or two
ago, and was busily at work on its roof
when he saw an animal steal out of the
woods lard by and fling itself upon the
pail containing his dinner of cold boiled
bacon ind bread.
He recognized this animal as puma,
or mountain lion, but thinking he might
brighten it away threw his plane at it.
The tool struck the animal on the head,
cutting it badly and rendering the crea-
ture furious. It rushed ut the structure
on the peak of which the herder sat and
tried TO leap up to him. But this was
not to be done. and after several at
tempts the lion abandoned It and pro-
cceded to patrol the spot. growing furi-
ously and showing its teeth.
The man, having no weapon and being
cutof reach of any one to whom he might
call, could only sit still and wait for the
puma to become tired of the watch or
for deliverance. Night at last came on.
and still he did not dare venture to quit
his perch, though it was so cold that he
feared that he would freeze before morn
ing. In the meantime his wife, WHO was
in Santa Anna, little mountain hamlet
of the valley, grew uneasy about him,
and with a lantern started to look for
him. 1t was too dark for English TO see
her, but the lion did, and made for her
| with 9 scream of rage
AS the great beast came leaping at her
| out of the darkness she dashed the Ian
tern full in It's face. The puma, startled,
gave way, and English, guessing who the
newcomer was, shouted TO her TO run
back to the village. She turned to DO so.
but the puma was after her. and she was
obliged TO wheel about every few feet
and shake the lantern in its face again.
The animal would recoil at this, and each
time gave her few moments to run on.
In this way she made her way to Santa
Anna, screaming rs she neared it, "a
lion! ion.' until some of the men of
the village, hearing her, armed them
selves and came ont in time 10 see the
lion break away to run Sack. They pur-
sued him and killed him and then Went
on for the half frozen herder. His wife

that it was rightly hers, as she alone had

ical research and INDUCED it for many
years in investigating the bottom of Cay

My experiments satisfied me that the
bottom of the lake is series of large
openings and cavities, many of them
craterlike. Some of these are 100 feet in
diameter. These craters. as l believe
them to be. lie at different depths, o..
rather, their raised edges are of different
heights. Their depths are fathoinless.
They have undoubtedly become the re-
ceptacles OF the bodies OF the hundreds
of people who are known to have been
drowned in the lake since that country
was settled and of the undoubted thou
sands of people killed in the fierce bat
ties that were frequently waged on the
shores of the lake between hostile tribes
OF aboriginal warriors during the cen
turies preceding the coming Of the white
man.
