and he had an uncanny feeling that
he was being dragged off the tree
The lion, outstripping his mate in
the chase, had made his spring, miss
ing his quarry by few inches only.
Even as it was his claws tore away
the greater part of Mr.. Smiths
trousers and inflicted several fairly
deep scratches-a narrow escape, in
deed. Exhausted and ranting, with
the perspiration streaming out of
him, he managed to draw himself up
into comparative security, and here
for nearly an hour he remained, while
the baffled lion, now Joined by the
lioness, ragged below.
At first Mr.. Smith could not I'M
derstand what had become of the
young lion which went for him first,
and for the fact that he was not in
a position to appreciate the humor of
the thing, he witnessed a sight which
must have been comical in the ex-
treme, although to it alone he is firm
ly convinced his life was due.
1t seems that Leo Jr. stopped half
way to examine the bicycle, which
had been flung down hastily, with the
result that the front wheel was still
revolving. This arrested the young
lions attention, and, like child with
a new toy, he turned aside to exam
inc this curious phenomenon. eau
tiously giving it a pat with one of
his huge paws, which only made it
go round faster, his wonder in
creased, and he sat down on his
launches, regarding it with a puz-
zIed air, and not for some time did
he join the parent couple at the foot
of the tree, but not until he had
''mouthed" the machine consider
ably and twisted the handlebar.
During the tenure of his unpleas-
ant perch Mr.. Smith cast many visit
full glances in the direction of his
double-barreled gun, which was
strapped to his bicycle, but it might
rs well have been a hundred miles
away. He cast his eyes about in or
der to discover some place of re-
treat as soon as the lions should re-
tire, and, to his great joy, saw hut
some 800 yards away. Just before
dark his captors began to pay less
attention to him, and, seeming the
zebu again, they finally left. to the
extreme relief Of their unfortunate
prisoner.
After waiting for about half an
hour, until everything was quiet, Mr..
smith cautiously descended, and, not
daring to go back for his gun. fear
fully made his way to the hut re-
lerred to, making quick sprints from
tree to tree. There was no roof, and
he hut was but fiimsy structure,
out, after making the entrance as Sc
:ure as possible, and hndling big
ire, he soon dropped off to sleep. At
iaybreak he was able to resume his
Quincy, eventually reaching Gadzi-
se and Salisbury in safety.

MAN TREED BY LIONS
Cyclist in Central Africa Had Hair
Raising Experience.


1t falls to the lot of but few men
to come so near to O violent death
and yet escape unframed as was the
case with j. A. Smith, who had been
working as a mechanical engineer at
the Inez mine, in central Africa.
Having finished the work for which
he had been engaged. he left the Inez,
intending to cycle into Salisbury,
stopping for a couple of days at the
Great Bear. He left the latter place
for Gadzima, travelling along the line
of railway extension. On his way Mr..
Smith received shock which he viii
not forget for many a long day.
About so yards away and slightly TO
the right were three lions, so intent on
stalking a herd of zebus that they
were not looking in the direction
where he was resting.
1t was an awkward position, to
say the least, and for brief space he
stood like one petrified, but, although
his limbs for a moment were dumb, his
mind was active enough. The largest
of the three was a huge black
named lion, the second was a lioness,
while the third was an almost full
grown cub. The cub was the first to
observe Mr.. Smith. and. uttering
low growl. he made for the unhappy
man, who, dropping his bicycle,
stayed not on the order of his going,
but went for a friendly tree at top
speed. He had just time to notice
that the parent lions had started in
the wake of their young hopeful, the
sight, as may be imagined, only serv-
ing to accelerate his pace.
The tree was but short distance
away. but to the hunter it appeared
a mile. 1t was destitute of branches
for about ten feet up, and how he
managed to climb il at all will forever
remain mystery tn him. just as
he thought himself safe, however
there was a terrific roar behind him

though they may be in amount when considered apart,
