FIGHT WITH TWO LIONS.
HAffbrsadt Escape from the Clutches of
 Hungry beast


 He saw, above the ledge and a little beyond, the ears and head of lion as it sat watching the deer. Jake rose in his saddle to place bullet. as he said, midway between those ears, when a powerful lion leaped from behind tree on the ledge Of rock above and, striking him in the chest carried him of his hor Sc, headlong down the mountain. and his horse ran wildly away. A moment .atcr Jake was lying on his back m the snow, his head up hill and the beast standing over him with one paw planted firmly on his chest, the other slightly lifted, and wagging its tail in delight. while ,ts hot breath was exhaled into JaKc's face.
 His first impulse was to hold down his chin tightly, to prevent his throat be- ing torn open, while he cautiously felt for his knife. He found the knife and as he drew it a slight grating sound caused the lion to rebound ut his feet and us it did so it uttered scream which Jake knew only gave him the chance of a moment. 1t was call for ,he other lion. Fearing to make Q motion of escape or resistance he moved his hand back in the snow in search of his rifle, which had been lost Tn the 'all. His finger touched the stock. He cau- tiously pulled it down by his side and still looking his captor straight in the eyes slowly turned the rifle till it's puzzle faced the lion. The bullet passed through its heart and it sank on Jakc's feet. Before he could move from his helpless position the other lion bounced over the precipice and somewhat oyer- Ieaping its mark lit in the snow and in- Btantly received bullet in its brain. The two lions lay dead not ten feet apart.-OutiDg.
