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.
ST. fly speaking, the latter was not On
his 1eet. 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
oil the fight taken out of him for days
to come, if not fatally injured and only
few hours to live. The honess 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 beef-steak. The
bear sat up and gazed after the retreat
ing lion and painted untn 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 If
congratulating himself on his victory.
The captain reached out his rifle, 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 IL 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 a good
| deal of dignity and entered the thicket
We waited for a quarter of an hour ant
] then descended to view the carcass o,
: the honess. Claws and teeth had don,

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 a clear
space around him, and defied 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-
gramne. AS he crouched down the
lioness began to advance, but she
moved at an angle and only foot by
foot She kent up low growing al

Among people of sporting, gambling

Among people of sporting, gambling
and speculative tendencies the rabbit
foot was at one time considered the tai
isman of luck and good fortune. The
football player, the baseball man, the
devotee of the turf, the card player, the
Spectator on change, the crap shoot
er and the patrons of policy and pool
rooms considered themselves sure win
ners when in possession of, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, the pedal of the
long-eared animal. Now the rabbit
foot has been shelved by those whose
superstition leads them to adopt some
sort of token to invoke luck, and they
have taken to a really grewsome article.
Tt is nothing more nor less than the
little finger of colored woman. After
death the little finger is ampUtated
from the right hand at the second joint,
after which it is treated in chemicals to
harden and cure the flesh, and when it
has become sufficiently dried tits carried

and women who cultivate the fad and
who carry it in little silver case made
especially for the purpose.

tFrom the Mt. Sterling, Ky,, Gazette.)
In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky
lives DIR. 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 mere 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

| ebo time, and though n was q sunshfny
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 up
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 lioness 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 a safe distance, with trusty weapons
at hand, the sounds of conflict fairly
frightened us. There was a chorus of
yelps, growls, bowls, roars and screams,
and the ball continued rolling for about
60 seconds Then it suddenly dissolved
into two lions and bear, and the lions
sprang away to 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 a
dog.
"That isn't the end OF it--they'll try
1t againi" whispered the guide as we
wondered if it was over, "Ole Eph
knows his gait and this is bis fight!"
There was 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 skulked
to the rear of the bear again. When he
had reached it the lloness began to adj
vance, and now she was a 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 Que of 'em ole Eph
would stand up to II like boxer, but
bein' 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
under-side at the fust move. This yere
bout will end the row, and one o. them
lions will be left dead on the ground"
The Honess moved slowly, evidently
waiting for an opening, and this time
