Night in the Desert.

X. Talbot Kelly, the English artist
who illustrated Slatin Pasha's Fire
and Sword in the Soudan," has written
a paper for the Century, which he calls
I'm the Desert with the Bedouin." Mr.
Kelly has drawn a number of striking
pictures for the article A bit of this
description is as follows: Night In the
desert is very solemn. Surrounded by
these sandy wastes melting in the
gloom, the silence of nature is almost
painful, and the occasional howl of a
jackal or neigh Of a horse only serves
to accentuate the succeeding Stiffness

The Daring Exploit OF Two Intrepid
Californians.
Two men living In Green Valley, In
the mountains east of San Diego. had a
lively experience with a mountain lion
recently. They were on their way to
the Grimm ranch on horseback, and
Mrs. Hobbs, mother OF one OF them,
was with them. Young Hobbs was rid
Ing ahead, with Griffin behind him,
when a sudden turn In the creek bed
through which they were passing took
Hobbs out OF sight for. second. In
that brief space there was an unearthly
bowling and screeching. followed in
stantly by the rearing and plunging Of
the horses. Mrs. Hobbs shrieked In
fright and there was,a general hubbub.
A mountain lion had jumped out up
on young Hobbs, uttering ferocious
cries as 1t leaped ON the horses shout
ders, and used Its hind claws with great
rapidity. Hobbs leg, fortunately was
encased In long boots Of heavy leather,
which resisted the lions onslaught.
The horse in plunging dislodged the
screaming brute, which darted back I'M
der the shadow of n cactus thicket.
Hobbs reached for his gun to prepare
for another attack. Griffin had his
hands full In looking after Mrs. Hobbs,
whose horse had become unmanage-
able.
Placing her at a safe distance in the
rear, he returned and hastily put up a
scheme with Hobbs to take the big
brute alive. Hobbs was to draw 1t from
the thicket, while Griffin, with a lariat
ready, was to rope it. Griffin retreated
a few steps, making his lariat ready,
while Hobbs, with warwhoop, dashed
toward the clump. The lion, crouching
in the shadow, screamed with rage and
jumped out toward him. frothing at the
mouth and splitting. The horse trem-
bled with fear.
At that moment Griffin spurred for
ward, threw the lariat with steady aim
and in another second had the lion
struggling in the dust with tight rope
around its body. 1t clawed and screech-
ed, making frightful uproar but Grit
fin, sinking the spurs in deep, dashed
down the road, dragging his feline cap
tive over rocks and cactus. Hobbs ran
back, got his mother, and returned
bringing up the rear. Griffin kept up
a lively dog trot in order to keep the
line taut, while the lion wasted its en-
ergy clawing at the rope, occasionally
making a sally toward the horse in
front of him.
