hunting with her longlegged, sxfoottal uncle. few
short years ago mother took to visit uncle who
lives in the country Just about this time the good neigh
bors had been telling great steres about strange and
terrible animal which they had heard roaring nightly
When uncle heard the story he threw back his head and
laughed, then said, IT would just like the fun of meet
ing this strange creature. So the next morning he
strapped his gun his shoulder and prepared spend
the day in search of him. Then, strange to relate
the time that notion struck to go hunting and
visitor he could not say no, off trudged
with bright hopes before
Over hills and valleys wandered until my feet be-
and my body weary, and not until sunset did
we start for home. Uncle thoroly disgusted said "I
know there's such animal in this part of the country
Soon it became dark and climbing steep hill
when heard strange rustings in the leaves by the
roadway We stopped to listen but all was still Then
in instant heard fearful roaring than that
of any lion had dreamed Of and thru the bushes
saw the cleaning of two fiery eyes. Unce's gun
at his shoulder report heard, but in the dark
he missed and heavy scamperng in the distance
