she was hardly ten feet from the bear
when she made her leap. There was no
signal to her mate, but he was hardly
q second behind her. 1t was the same
as before-a great hairy ball rolling
about-a chorus of growls and yelps
and roars to make the hair stand up.
When the ball ceased rolling about only
the bear and the lion were on their feet.
Strictly speaking, the latter was not on
his feet, He had been so BADLY bitten
IN the other hip or leg that he dragged
his hinder-parts ON the ground as he
moved away. He made directly for the
thicket and vanished from sight, with
all the fight taken out of him for days
to come, if not fatally injured and only
a few hours to live. The lioness lay
stretched on the grass, killed by the
awful claws of the bear. She was
smeared with blood until her general
color was as red as a beef-steak. The,
bear sat up and gazed after the retreat
ing lion and painted untfl he got his Sec
ond-wind. Then he lowered his head.
shifted at the dead lioness as if to make
sure that his work was finished, and
when satisfied on that point he lay
down and rolled over and growled as il
congratulating himself on his victory.
The captain reached out his rife. but
the guide held up his hand and said:
"Give him decent show, capting. It
was far fout with two lions, airy one
of which would hev bin tuff customer
fur the three of US, and he won it slick
as grease and deserves credit"
Just then the scrape of boot against
the rock made noise which caused the
bear to look up. There sat the three of
us in plain view, and the way up to us
was an easy one for him. He uttered q
growl at first sight and partly reared up
on his hind legs, but as we made no move
he cooked up his ears, squinted his eyes,
and after another roll on the ground
walked across the open with good
deal of dignity and entered the thicket.
We waited for quarter of an hour and
then descended to view the carcass of
the honess. Claws and teeth had done
sure work there. The sight could not
have been worse If she had been run
over by a dozen loaded wagons.
Mountain lions ar wicked fighters
said the guide as we turned away, shut
they don't show good sense in tacklin' a
grizzly. Lord save me, but that Teller
) would a-fx six of 'em as.quick as two,
and he'd won the victory Jest the
same!'

an acre in extent, and fairly in the
center of it stood a great pine tree
which had been dead for perhaps a
score of years. We had just sat down.
and were filling our pipes for a smoke
when grizzly bear burst out of a
cedar thicket to the east and lounged
across the open to the tree. He was
a male and full-grown, and his bulk
astonished us. His very gait proved
that he was in ill-humor, and he had
no sooner reached the tree than he
reared up and began clawing at 1t.
The wood had decayed until every
blow of his claws sent dust and chips
and splinters flying right and left,
and the monster growled and FLASHED
his teeth as if fighting live enemy.
He was the fairest sort of a target,
and the captain was raising his Win
chester for a shot when the guide
leaned forward and whispered:
Don't do it, The old varmint is
mad all the way through and would
fight regiment of soldiers"
But can drop him with one bull
let" protested the captain.
Don't try it. I'd sooner take my
chances with so Injun warriors. Jest
you wait and you'll mebbe see
suthin'."
The bear continued lighting the tree
for perhaps five minutes, and then he
dropped down on all tours and faced
the thicket to the south and snuffed
and growled and finally uttered a roar
of defiance.
Keep quiet--thar's fun ahead"
whispered the guide, and we laid our
unlighted pipes aside and gave the
scene our whole attention.
After a couple of minutes, during
which old Ephraim continued to work
up his temper, a mountain lion leaped
out of the thicket into the open at
the southwest corner. Ten seconds
later second lion leaped out at the
southeast angle, and the three beasts
stood growing and glaring and max
ing ready for battle. The lions were
male and female, and the female was
the more aggressive of the two. AS
they stood for moment, switching
the grass with their tails and each
having a paw raised, they were about
80 feet from each other and about 40
from the bear.
Keep quiet and you'll see the purti
est little fout man ever sot down to-"
said the guide, as he removed his hat
and plucked up a small bush growing
In front of him.
The bear was expecting his enemies

Zoe sirDe, and though n was . sunshiny
day her eyes giittered like Goals of fire
The growls Of the bear were deeper and
louder, and he stood stock still and
waited for her.
We knew that she was creeping uu
for spring. but she did not make the
first move. When she had approached
within about Is feet she uttered cry
and the lion made his leap. He had a
full 20 feet to go, and he covered it at
bound. He rose from the ground like
bird, and his movements were SO
rapid that we did not realize his action
until he landed on top of the bear.
Two seconds later the noness reached
the same spot, and then the three were
rolling over and over on the ground like
a great ball. Soldiers as we were, and
at safe distance, with trusty weapons
at hand, the sounds of conflict fairly
frightened us. There was chorus of
yelps, growls, howls, roars and screams,
and the bali continued rolling for about
60 seconds. Then it suddenly dissolved
into two lions and bear, and the lions
sprang away to a distance of ten
yards. The grizzly had gotten the best
of the fight. We could see that he had
been severely clawed and bitten, but
the lions were worse off, The lion
limped and seemed to have lost the
use of one hind leg, and his right side
was laid open from shoulder to hip,
and the lioness was so badly hurt that
she lay painting and whining like
dog.
THAT isn't the end OF it--they'll try
1t againi" whispered the guide as we
wondered If 1T was over, "Ole Eph
knows his gait and this is bis fght!"
There was a rest of five minutes.
Then the lioness began growing and
switching her tail and her courage re-
turned. She moved over to the lion as
If she meant to attack him, and with an
angry snarl he leaped away and skull1ed
to the rear Of the bear again. When he
had reached 1T the lloness began to ad-
vance, and now she was picture of
fury
They'll do exactly as before" said
the guide, land that's proof that they
hain't got no sense in thar heads. If
thar wasn't but one of 'em ole Eph
would stand up to IL like boxer, but
oein' thar's two his game is to fight on
his back. He's willin' the lion should
light down on him, belase he'll flop him
lnder-side at the fust move. This yere
bout will end the row, and one o. them
ions will be left dead on the ground"
The lioness moved slowly, evidently
waiting for an opening, and this time

Perhaps he had found and destroyed
the cubs of the lioness and knew the
parents were after him. he moved
away from the tree to have clear
space around him, and defled them to
attack. The lions were too prudent to
make a rush. After working up their
fury one moved to the east and the
other to the west, keeping close to the
edge of the thickets. The grizzly
could not keep both of them under his
eye, and, seeming to think the lioness
the most dangerous of the two, he gave
her his whole attention. While he
faced her the lion moved past him to
the rear and then crouched down. We
thought this action cowardly, but the
pair had evidently planned the whole
affair, and he was following the pro-
gramIne. AS he crouched down the
lioness began to advance, but she
moved at an angle and only foot by
foot She kept up 8 low growing all

Dr.. Porter OF Kentucky Tells How
II was Done.

II was Done.
from the M. Sterling, Ry., Gdzette.)
In the mountains Of Eastern Kentucky
lives Dr. G. II. Porter, who for AZ years has
ministered TO the sick in the counties of
Rowan and Morgan, and has during that time
suffered more than many Of the patients on
whom he called. He was at last cured, and
his cure was SO startling and miraculous
that it was soon the talk of the the noun
tains, and finally reached the Bluegrass.
A reporter of the GOzette concluded to in
vestigate in the interest of suffering human
ity, and to his question the doctor replied:
Twenty years ago, while living in Nor
gan county and practIcing my profession,
had terrible nervous shock that complete
ly Frustrated me, and from that time until
few months ago l suffered untold agony,
and in fact never knew a well day. ! tried
everything in the way of medicine that
knew and consulted other physicians for
miles around, but | found no relief, and
resigned myself to the inevitable and await
ed the end. A few months ago my son saw
an account in your paper of a new medicine
called DIR. Williams Pink Pills and wanted
me to try it. told him they would dome
no good, but after taking few doses felt
better, and again hope revived in my breast.
! continued taking the pills, and continued
to improve, and now believe have finally
recovered. That is about all of the story.
believe Pink Pills saved my life, and
never fail to recommend them in my prac
tice. In fact, | can tell you of man that
you will pass on your road home who has
been almost completely cured of rheuma-
tism after years of suffering, Mr.. s. g.
Bailey, is his name and you can stop and
see him"
After thanking Dr. Porter the Gazette man
started for Mr.. Bailcy's residence. He was
found on his farm cutting some trees Town.
In reply to our inquiry, Mr.. Bailey said: e.
" Yes, DR.. Porter told you the truth. | suf-
fered for years with rheumatism, and was
only able to leave my room in good weather,
and then was not abe to do any work.
was urged by DR.. Porter to try Pink Pills,
for several weeks I positively refused. He
finally overcame my prejUdices, however,
and am glad of it, for you can see your.
self what Pink Pills have done for me.
