alittle settlement on the Contra Costa
SIDE. 1t was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, but as the young
rancher who drove knew every inch of
the way we were not afraid.
we had made the ascent of the
mountain and were driving down at q
good pace when suddenly the horses
stopped, reared and then swerved to
one side, overturning the rockaway and
landing us nll in the mud on the side
OF the road. No ono 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 proetrate horses,
and lit in the brush on the lower side of
the road. There was n fearful roar,
and then we saw two great, green eyes
staring out of the darkness.
THE driver had succeeded in pulling
the frightened horses to their feet and
Fighting the wagon. He ordered us to
get into our seats, and, handing the
lines to the girl on the front scat, he
told her to hang on for dear life.

Then, as we sat specchless from
fright, the ranchcr drew his revolver.
There was n scream, unlike and moro
dreadful than anything L had ever
heard; then the great beast rolled u
lew feet in the brush and was still.
After the horses were quieted and
we had regaincd our composure sufIi-

found the beast was really dead, so we
helped the driver lift the carcass into
the back of the wagon and then con-
tinued our trip, creating n great scnsa-
tion 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 it happened, and didn't we keep
quiet, instead of screaming as lots of
girls would have dOne?n
