A PORTRAIT

 stood before painting that hung upon the wall The boy gazed with all his soul in his eyes, dimly conscious, perhaps. of what the picture would some day mean to him. It represented . soldier mounted on black charger. and the mans face was eager. ardent and earnest. With sword in his uplift- ed hand he seemed urging men to bat tie.
 The little girl indinerently glanced at the portrait from time to time. She had seen it 50 many times, and then, too, patriotism had not yet awakened in her undisciplined little heart. She was proud in the thought, however, that she possessed something of ab- sorbing interest to her new neighb0r. Finally, she began to relate the story she had heard 80 often.
 "You see, it's really true man. and he painted himself on papa's horse. Those are the clothes he wore in bat tle-"
 "Humph!" said the boy scornfully, looking at her with the superiority de. rived from hls sex and his four years seniority. "Those aren't fighting clothes. Lucille! He's on parade"
 Lucille wondered vaguely what that might be and then begged him to "come and play"
 They played for many day to come, and then the boys parents moved to another city.
 Seven years later he came back for a visit. He had now attained the great age of l7 and when he had met his former playmate. who had just proudly entered upon her "teens," that long looked-for period, he said most con- .descendingly:
 "why. this must be little Lucille Fel- toni"
 Straightway Lucille felt she hated him and they spent few weeks of turbulent companionship in strife.
 q thought you were going to be a soldier,' she said one day. Hike the man on horseback in the picture!"
 What's the use of being soldier?" he laughed. There are no wars. I'd rather be the man that painted the pic- ture than the soldier he represents. Let's go and look at it again."
 "Papa gave it away-to the man who gave him the horse"
 Ten years passed before Paul Willis saw his little playmate again. It was evening of a summer day at a fash ionable watering place. He had just arrived and was instantly surrounded

a hand to hand fight, and I have never
felt the least bit Of fear of them. There
is no animal that will face man; even
the grizzly will leave part Of the
country that he has habited in for a
long while when he finds out that a
man has come into IL, and while | have
seen their tracks many times | have
never seen a single one Of them. Noun
tain lions and cougars and panthers
are quite plenty. The cougar is the lar
gest of any of them and the worst beast
that l have ever seen in that country.

perience. | was lying hid waiting for a
ceer to come up a gorge close enough
for me to get shot, and as / lay mo-
tionless could see it gradually work
ing closer and closer.
~'When it got under place where
there was an overhanging ledge l saw
streak Of dun colored lightning shoot
out, and the mountain lion made a
clear leap Of at least twenty feet and
lit OH the deer's back and bore him
down to the ground The thing that
struck me as the most wonderful was
that the lion held on with his fore
paws and teeth and literally ripped the

SO / took long shot at the lion, but
must have missed him, for when the
gun cracked he disappeared
when got to the ~eer found that
one side Of it was torn to pieces where
the mountain Ion had held on and
scratched it with his hind claws. But I
got the deer. This mountain lion that
brought with me isn't the first one I've
trapped, by any means. I've caught
many Of them, but this one is the first
one that I've ever tried to capture

knew this fellow was around my traps,
out Of them. so l made up my mind to
trap him. / drove stake into the
ground and baited it, Around the stake
| set four double spring steel traps,
each one clogged with chunk Of wood
that would weigh $50 pounds and one
morning l went there l found that /
had made catch. The trap was gone,
and followed the trail of the clog
couple of hundred yards until l came
on to the lion sitting on his launches
in the snow
"The moment he saw me he screamed
and made a leap for me, but the trap
was fast on one paw, and the clog held
him. 1t took me four hours to get him
tied so could get him back to my tent
had lassos with me and got him
wrapped up so that he couldn't move
muscle and then made a sledge from
the fork of a tree and dragged him
over the frozen snow, screaming, for
four miles. The first two days he lay
in my tent tied up. while went forty
miles to Vermont, where there was a
blacksmith shop, and had cage made.
I drew the iron cage back home the
forty miles on a sled and got the lion
in it after much work, then dragged
his paw out and loosed the trap, but his
foot had partly frozen when he was in
the trap, for the thermometer was 40
degrees below zero on Feb 2, the day
caught him, and part Of the paw
sloughed away.

5000 mile drift. The Missouri river
was full of drifting ice. and l went
downstream with it, seeing 1t melt and

nothing of incident to the trip 1t was
simply lazy dropping downstream at

a great gray timber wolf that ran
from bow to stern uncOnfned. There
was a sort Of freemasonry existing be-
tween the lion and the wolf. and the
lion only stared when the wolf came
near and did not hiss, says the st. Lou
is Globe-Democrat.
The man on the boat was tall and
thin from recent illness, but in his eyes
there was the look that told much. His
glance was level and cool, and there
was a slOwness to him that comes to
those who live where the sight Of an
other man is of rare occurrence.
The little boat was weather beaten
and worn. The arched canvas roof
Showed the beat Of many rains and the
bleach Of many suns. The man was
Charles A. Stewart, trapper, adven
turer and traveller, and when he tied his
ark to the shore he ended trip that is
practically without parallel, for at its
end he had measured more than 5000
miles Of drift.
Stewart cast loose his shore moorings
Fort Benton broke up and started

twelve years old, when he left Waco,
Tex, where he was born Since then
he has drifted,, trapping as business
that he might travel when he felt the
desire to do so. The woods are open
to him. He knows the language and
can read natures writing on the snow
He said that he had killed more than
one bear In a hand to hand fight and
that it wasn't any trick at all if you
knew how. Then he told how.
You keep your knife hand raised
up" he said, $50 that the bear won't
get it in his hug, and then, when he
sezes you, you cut the muscles of his
forearm, and he is helpless. 1t is al
most play, for the little black bears
don't weigh more than $50 or 200
pounds
When asked what his business was
he said simply, Trapping" but finally
he got started talking, and he told the
story Of his life when l was twelve
years old" he said, my parents both
died. and l cut out for myself. l had
always wanted to live in the woods,
and / drffted around until twelve years
ago struck the country near Fort Ben
