they had seen a couple CT mountain

"You'lI do nothing of the kind"
snapped Viardot. I'll see to it that you
stay with me, gun in hand, at re-
spectful distance, when we go to look
up those sly cats
The conversation on this particular
subject was dropped by the party after
the college boys had asked for and re-
ceived a minute description of the place
where the lions had been seen.
Bernard said nothing more that night
about lions or snap shots, but he
turned in for a snooze with a mental res

Then he arose and took an inventory of

The hunters, having satisfied them
selves that both brutes were dead
their aim at such short range having
been unerring-almost fell down the
rocks and clambered up the opposite
side in breathless haste. The dead lions
were splendid specimens, the male
measuring four feet and eight inches
from nose to tip of tail.
Bernard's negative turned out to be
good one.

Beasts" he fairly yelled.
His anxiety for the safety of his com
panion was so great that he forgot his
breakfast, and, snatching his rifle and
revolver belt, started on a run down
the canyon.
After rapid chase of three miles, he
approached the cliff designated by the
prospectors. At length he spied an
opening in the rocks which answered
the description of the lions den. Still
nc sound and no sign of his COM
panion.
Across a deep chasm from the mouth
Of the den was another point of rock,
steep. but still accessible to the climber
Niardot decided to climb this point of
rock, feeling assured that Bernard was
somewhere near.
He had almost reached the top, when
suddenly slight movement in the
bushes on the opposite cliff caught his
eye. Behind them crouched Il long
1.-the, tawny animal, slowly and with
cat-like action swaying its long furry
tail. The animal was evidently prepar-
ing to spring upon some creature.
What if it should be Bernard? '
The question flashed across Niardot's
mind, and completely took away hi,
breath. He had half expected some
such denouement as this, yet he was not
prepared for the reality.
Almost at the same instant he caught
sight of familiar figure crawling la
boriOusly up the cliff side. 1t was Ber-
nard. all unconscious of the presence Of
the fierce brute crouChing above him

was that Niardot emitted that blood

wish I'd caught focus on him, he
said ruefully. when the two had 8 id
and scrambled back to level ground.
Niardot saw that it was useless TO
demonstrate with him; so he agreedito
go with him next morning and en-
deavor to first photograph and then
shoot the lion or lions from the opposite
cliff. This was a favorable point for
such an operation, and was compare
lively safe.
The next morning they started at
daylight, but although they watched for
hours they failed to catch a glimpse of
the wild beasts. The third morning they
again made the trip in vain, and the
fourth. and fifth. Nota sign of the game
did they see.
Niardot wanted to give up the chsse,
but the Photographic instinct wa 90
strong in his companion. ~-,
"I'll get 'em if don't do anything else
this summer" he said doggedIy; and
Niardot succumbed to fate.
The sixth morning they reached their
lofty perch on time and waited, with
eyes glued on the entrance of the den
across the chasm.
Bernard arranged his camera, care
fully screwed up the exact focus on the
cavern's mouth, and sat down with
the bulb of the instantaneous shutter
in his palm, ready to squeeze it at an
instant's notice.
! Niardot took his station ten feet
away. resting his rife barrel on a ledge
of granite in front of him, and training
the muzZle on the den. As it would not
do to make an audible signal, he tied
a long cord to Bernard's ankle and
drawing it taut, held the other end in
his hand.
