quently looked back and sIarled
threateningly, but he failed to 6nd
courage enough to offer battle. Sud
denly it occurred to the girl that
there was no reason why she could
not choke the lion to death. An at
tempt was worth making, for this
one monster was capable of destroy
ing a hundred young calves and year
Hngs in a single night.
Suiting her actions to her thoughts
she swung her lariat over her head,
and as the trained pony sprang for
ward at his greatest speed she sent
the rope kissing through the air and
dropped the moose with certain pre-
cision about the lions neck. The
pony instantly braced himself on his
launches, digging his forefeet into
the ground, and the lion turned a
somersault, striking the earth with
his head toward his pursuers. The
girl hoped that she had broken the
beasts neck, but he was only badly
stunned, and the pain that he suffered
seemed to increase his rage and cOur-
age. Crouching and emitting a roar,
he sprang into the air with all his
strength, expecting to land on the
pony's neck and tear his pursuers to
fragments. The agile little horse
turned just in time TO feel the claws
of the lion grazing his launches.
So, instantly, as the lion sprang
forward, the pony began to run. The
rope was tense, and if she had wished
to do it the girl could not have un-
fastened the lariat from the saddle
horn.
Realizing that her life depended
upon the strength and speed of her
pony. she leaned forward and urged
her frightened mustang to do his
best. She reached the ranch gate at
her home just as her sisters, accom-
| panied by two young men of the
neighborhood, were about to pass
through on their way to church.
There now!" she shouted, az have
roPed and dragged a lion to death
Her speech of triumph was cut shor:
/ by a warning scream from one of hel
| sisters, who noticed thai the lion was
about to regain his feet and renew
the battle. One of the men sent q
bullet through the monsters brair
