Eroucht TO Bay on q Precipi ce.

J. Lewenste;1, of New York, being
de.irous Of Gcer-hunting, few days
ago accompanied Benjamin Elliott aud
Dick and Abe Kilburn, both Of WHOM
are expert hunters, on trip to the
ST. Lawrence meadows, clearing III
the Adirondack Mountains, OFF the old
Franklin Falls road. $50 $50
This meadow is fanked on the north
by a mountain covered with high,
dense brush and capped by steep,
rugged ledge. While waiting for q
deer they heard deep rear and, look
ing up at the foot of TIE ledge, saw
a bear fighting with what appeared to
be a catamount. Without hesitation
the four hunters rushed into the brush
and clambered up the steep ledge,
when they we're startled by the roar
ing Of the bear, who, having olsen
gagged himself from his antagonist,
was descending. To turn back would
be difficult, as the ascent vas much
too steep for hurried retreat; so,
firing shot, they forced the bear back
TO the ledge, to which they followed
him. Here further ascent was inpcs-
sible, q perpendicular cliff preventing
escape in that direction.
Brought to bay, tic bear, big
specimen Of over 400 pounds, low
thoroughly infuriated, with g vicious
snarIing. rushed upon the hunters,
who found themselves IN serious pre-
dicament. Without foothold, cling
ing to the roots of small shruboery
and suspended over a rocky chasm,
hundreds Of feet in depth, they were
brought to bay By their quarry: Wltd
a desperation born Of necessity, Lew
enstein. being the lishtess Of tie party,
VAS supported in his hold, and, tax
ing his rife, let go at the bear, and bJ
! good shot between the eyes ended
the career of bruiD.
The descent vas difficult and ths
| degree of danger to which they hat
| been exposed was not fully realized
| Until once again in the meadows.

TALES OF PLUCK
And ADVENTURE.
A LION Hunt in Central Africa.

While staying in one of the suburbs
OF the capital Of Toro, i'll Central
Africa, writes famous hunter, I WAS
one morning called up By the chief
to come at once and shoot lion that
was doing great damage in the dis
trict, and had just then killed poor
woman while cultiyatiDg her garden.
She was STOPPING down pulling up
some weeds when in front Of Ter she
heard the ho1rid roar Of lion. Look
ing up in speechless horror, sho saw
in the grass few yards away huge
male lion apparently about to spring
upon her: bat just at that moment the
lioness, which had crept up behind
her, sprang out, and with an awful
stroke of the forepaw killed her
where she stood, end then carried her
of into the thicket. As soon as I
heard the story I started of with a
couple OF my boys to hunt the lions,
but, although I spent the whole day
searching, not lion did I see. The
mangled remains Of the poor woman
were discovered, but the lions kept
out OF our way. However, few days
after this a party of native hunters,
returning from their days hunt after
small antelope, were attacked by the
same lions. Walking in single file
through the long grass on the narrow
path, the man at the end of the line
was suddenly seized from behind By
the liouess and instantly killed and
carried of.
The rest OF the party made off with
all haste excepting one little boy, the
son Of the man killed, and he, amaz-
ingly plucky little fellow that he is,
actually turned back and, armed with
nothing but q small spear, followed
the blood. stained track through the
thicket. After littlo while he cane
upon the lioness in the act Of deyour-
ing his father. Without moments
hesitation this brave little chap
rushed at the huge beast, and the
Eoness, becoming aware Of his ap-
proach, left the prey and sprang upon
the boy. By mereiful Providence
The spear which the boy carried
entered the breast OF the lioness, and
by the brnte's own weight was forced
right into his body, piercing his
heart, and the great creature rolled
over stone iesd. The boy was utterly
unharmed. Rapidly Withdrawing his
little weapon, he rushed to the

The grief-stricken lad sprang up, and
with almost superhuman courage
rushed toward the second lion, waving

shouting: :Come on, come on; I'll
kill YOU also!' But the male lion was
so discounted by The unexpected ap,
