LION AGAINST TIGER.
Greater Bravery Shown BY the
Smaller Animal.

The owner of one.ring circus tray
cling through the West this summer
found himself in sore straits through
the death OF a much advertised lion
which was the star attraction of the
show. With a fertility born of ne
cessity he advertised in the nearby
papers for a, "brave man." A good,
strapping Irisnman applied for the pc.
sition.
"My pet lion has just died." said the
Snowman, land I will give you Sc

However, with trembling steps he went

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
IL You Have an Axe, You May Not
Have q Bad Time.

To get lost in the woods Is not an
uncommon occurrence. and what to do
under the circumstances is so we'll told
by Horace Kephart i'm "Field and
Stream" that readers fond of camping
and woodcraft will be Interested:
"The first thing that one should do
when he realizes that he has lost his
bearings in q wild country is to stop
and sit down. Don't take one more
step until you have recovered your wits
so that you can trace on the ground
with a stick your probable course
since leaving the camp, and mark on 1t
the estimated location of such water
courses and other landmarks as you
have passed. Then make up your mind
that If you must stay out all night,
alone in the woods, 1t is no killing
matter, but likely an interesting adj
venture. Having recovered your men,
tai balance, take note Of the lay Of the
land around you, the direction of fits
drainage, the character Of its vegeta-
ton, and the Inequalities that Il offers
to n night-bound traveller, in the way
of drinking-water, sound down wood,
natural shelter and browse. Then
blaze tree on four sides-make big
blazes that can be seen from any di-

several hours of daylight ahead. and al
though you have no present intention
of staying here; for you do know that
this spot is only so many hours from
camp by back trail, and that you may
have good reason to return to it.
Now try to get an outlook over the
surrounding country. In fat woods
this will be difficult. II you can risk
climbing a tall tree do so. Select one
that you can climb, and having gained
your outlook, note the compass direc.
ton OF watercourses and other land
marks, mapping them on bit OF
paper, for q lost mans memory is
treacherous. The courses Of small
streams show where the main valley
lies. Decide where to go, take the com.
pass direction, note how the sun strikes
II, and descend.
| "Now, as you travel, make bush.
marks by making blazes on trees OF
breaking shrub here and there along
the trail. so you will easily follow your
way back should you have to pass the
night in the woods"

Experience Of an Old Timer In
the WiLds Of Idaho.

"In the winter Of 'G7," said an old
miner, now In Uncle Sans service,
at Washington, was living In
cabin by myself in the mountains OF
Idaho. about seven miles from Idaho
City, my nearest and only neighbOr
the postmaster, an Irishman and
bachelor, who kept the toll house be-
tween Idaho City and the adjoining
mountain towns.
"My cabin was about two miles
to the East, directly among the
mountains. The snow which had
been falling at intervals for several
months, lay about 10 feet on a level
around my cabin, and my only
method Of travel was by snow shoes.
81 had made my tri-weelly run to
see If the stage had brought any let
tiers to the toll house for me; and
while adjusting my snow shoes, pre-
paratory to starting back, l heard
believing and paving. Texas
steer, which had separated himself
from the herd which had lately
passed toward the town, was angrily
shaking his head at me about 100
feet distant. He had run past the
house from the road up the little
straight path which Pat had kept
open to his spring, and after drink
ing and turning around, had become
bewildered, the snow being at least
eight feet deep on either side Of the
path.
"This was my direct route home, and
although, If had kept on top Of the
snow, he could not have pursued me,
the spirit Of my school-boy days re-
yived, and l removed my snow shoes
and Immediately made two little les
snow balls. At right angles with
the path to the spring another and a
similar path had been cleared to a
cabin about the. same distance from
the toll house. AS l fired the two

, ished. Mannering's resolution had
broken down at the last moment. He
would make the trip to Worthing after
all.
"Put your hands higher up, Verna,
nearer to my neck. We are safe II
you keep STILL"
The swimmer rose on the crest of a
long green swell, travelling shoreward.
A terrible explosion had occurred IN
the engine room Of the Spray. She
had sunk In less than fifteen minutes,
with her return journey but half 40
complished. There had been no panic,
but her two boats were filed to the
very gunwales with their human
freight. Six men were venturing to
swim to meet the boats, putting of
from the shore. Godfrey Mannering
was one Of them. He had assured
Verna Of his ability to save her if she
would trust herself to him rather than
to the overladen boats.
verna kept perfectly still. Her feet
trailing in the water gave her terri.
flying sensation as Of floating upon in.
finite depth.
The strong frame of the swimmer
supporting her moved forward with
its steady strokes. How calm he SEEM
ed; how confident! At that moment she
loved him most: yet at that moment
she knew that she might never be
his.
On the return journey to Brighton,
Godfrey had told her all: had made
his confession. He had said: 81 love
you; loved you from the day that we
met. "That is all my defence"
There had been long and dreadful
pause, while she wrestled with her
pain, with her temptation. Then she
had answered: eve must say goodbye.
We must never meet again. When we
land, we must shake hands for the last
time. You could not help loving me
any more than could help loving you.
Yes, l love you; but this Is barrier
which we cannot overcome"
And then, almost Immediately after
| wards, the accident had occurred. The
sea was very cold; the warm suns of
summer had not yet penetrated its
chilly bosom. He was becoming stiff
