California Road.
1--WE were driving from Oakland over
the ridge that divides Alameda and
Contra Costa county, three girls bound
for country dance at Moraga Valley,
little settlement on the Contra Costa
side II was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, bnt as the young
ranchcr who drove knew every inch OF
the way we were not afraid.
"Wc had made the ascent of the
mountain and were driving down at a
good pace when suddenly the horses
stopped. reared and then swerved 70
one side, overturning the roclxaway and
landing us all in tho mud on the side
OF the road. No one was hurt, and as
we picked ourselves up, wondering in
dazed way what the trouble was about,
something leaped out OF the bushes,
over the backs Of the PROSTATE horses,
and lit i'm the brush on the lower side Of
the road. There was IA fearful roar,
and then we saw two great, green eyes
staring out of the darkness.
"1he driver had succeeded In pulling
the frightened horses 20 their feet and
righting the wagon. He ordered as TO
get into our seats, and, handing the
lines TO the girl ON the front seat, he
told her Co hang on for dear life.
Its n lion, and he'll jump in an
other minuter said the man.
"Then, as we sat speechless from
fright, the rancher drew his revolver.
There was scream, unlike and more
dreadful than anything had ever
heard; then the great beast rolled a
few feet in the brush and was still.
After the horses were quoted and
we had regained our composure sufii-
GENTLY we jumped ont OF the rocxaway
and with the aid of matches examined
our game. IL was splendid young
California mountain lion, measuring
about four feet in length. We three
girls were all very brave when we
found the beast was really dead, 50 we
helped the driver lift the carcass into
the back OF the wagon and then con-
tinued our trip, creating a great scnsa-
ton among the rustics at the dance
when we told Of our adventure. To be
sure, we gave the driver credit for the
actual killing, but weren't we there
when II happened, and didn't we keep
quiet, instead of screaming as lots of
girls would have done2"
