Some new fear seemed to possess
them. They whirled about repeatedly,
to guard against surprises. They flung
themselves upon the snow, and dashed
their tails excitedly.
l understood that some one-Curtis
or Pete, doubtless-had been shooting
at them. Perhaps for the first time
they had heard the thunder Of a gun
and the kissing whine of bullets.
Then a rife cracked again, this time
close at hand, and I saw the cougar
dam fiatten out upon the with a
bullet through her brain. The cub
bounced about wildly, splitting and his
sing, until two or three more shots
were fired, when it, too, dropped in its
tracks, dead. Looking in the direction
Of the firing, / saw our Indian, Pete,
searching for u way to descend the
ledge.
While Pete was hunting for a path,
the blind lion ran out of his lair, which
he must have considered unsafe
against the new foe. The beast showed
intense excitement. He stopped over
the bodies of his dead mate and cub
and shifted at them in apparent great
anxiety. Then his tail dropped and his
hair shrank upon his skin. A great
fear seized him. Suddenly he uttered a
strange, whining lament, sprang to-
ward the canon cleft and leaped into
its abyss.
Was it a case of suicide? 1t has al
ways seemed SO to me, and yet, in his
sudden sense of loss, in his great fear
and excitement, the creature may have
had no other aim than mad flight, and
may have gone to his death quite by
accident.
l was as much overjoyed as Pete was
astonished at our meeting. Before
noon the Indian had hung up a deer on
the ridge, and when he returned to
get the meat ne found three lions had
torn down the carcass He fired and
missed, and as the lions RAJ he had
followed. shooting at them as long as
they were in sight.

THE HAPPY TIME,

TBe man who cannot rest to-day,
Tut says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away
New tasks or sits in sorrow
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that walt
To triumph and to celebrate
With nothing more to do.
The man who folds his hands to-day
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished till tomorrow
Has neither rest Of heart nor mind,
For he that looks ahead .
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest Of sweet leisure's joys
But borrows doubt and dread.
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps life's poor little ills away
And finds few cares to borrow;
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
is every day for him whose hand
Is tuned each day to fair deeds, and
Who plays in reason, too.
