moving along the path, far down the mountain side It was so far away and so hidden at times by rocks and turns in the path that the watching, eager boys could not make out just what it was. "It seems tall for Hon." whis- pered Will, now so wide awake that he did not feel that he could ever sleep again.
 'It looks heavy, too," whispered Jack. Gee, it's big!"
 "Get your guns on it-all of you" ordered. Fred, crawling into good posi- tion. Each of the boys had moved Into a good place of vantage above the path, lying close together, and all holding their guns cooked.
 ''If that's a lion," whispered Jack, its the biggest one ever seen in this part of the country. I say, who's to fire first?"
 Let Paul fire first" whispered Will. He's the best shot"
 All agreed by signs that Paul should fire first, and if he failed to bring the lion to earth with the first shot, the others should take aim, Fred being the second to fire. Should Fred fail to get the lion, the remaining two boys should fire together.
 The dark object advanced slowly, stop ping every now and then to nose about in some underbrush. For several minutes it was hidden from sight, but emerged from behind boulder and started to- wards the spring. Its an elephant in size,'' declared Paul to himself. But it's a beaut. sure. I never heard of so large a lion, It will be feather in our caps if we get that great beast" The truth is Paul was getting rather fright ened, for the lion was growing so in comparison to the ordinary lion that he felt afraid of 1t. Suppose his gun should fail to go off when he expected 1t toi Suppose 1t should not hit the beast at all?

 self lived by his own wits, so to speak He had never done day work; nor had he worked of nights, either, unless hunting for an occasional mouse could be called work. And he only indulged in that as pastime.
 Tommy was a cat, and at the time Of this story was in his first year. being about 10 months old. He was inc ana strong for his age, and feared nothing larger or smaller than dog. And often he gave a stray canine good chase though in his heart he feared the Tel low at whose heels he ran in all his pre- tended bravery, and had MT. Canine turned on him he would have gone up a tree or mounted an alley fence with the greatest agility.
 But one day Boy entered the alley where Tommy had passed his care-free life. Now, a boy was not new thing to the alley in question. for often he came there in great numbers, throwing stones at Tommy and at Tommy's friends But this particular boy (but I shall spell him with a capital "B'o, hap pened to take a fancy to Tommy and decided he wanted him. So he brought with him nice bit of meat with which to tempt Tommy.
 But Tommy was not so easily led into captivity. He had been wild and free all his life and knew from the prompt ings of Nature how to guard himself against his enemies When the Boy be- gan making overtures to him by offering the bit of meat-a delicacy In Tommy s

mind-Tommy kept his distance and looked the boy over with sharp, ques- tioning eyes. "You have some object in coaxing me-" he thought.
 But a day came when Tommy fell through appetite. The bit of meat was so temptingly placed for him that he slowly advanced toward it. The Boy stood a safe distance off. Tommy got near enough to the meat to grasp 1t be- tween his paws. Then, meat in mouth, he fled down the alley. Some distance off, he turned to take a peep at the Boy. The fellow stood smiling at him, not venturing to follow. Then it was that Tommy was deceived. Evidently the Boy had no evil motive in bringing him the meat. Tommy ate the tender morsei greedily, and wished for more. The Boy knew he would. and so he brought piece again the following day. And Tommy was there waiting for him.
 On the third day, Tommy became quite good friends with the Boy. He had grown to trust him, for not once had the Boy tried to lay hands on him, but would place the meat on the ground and walk away, leaving it for Tommy to eat. On the third day, however, the Boy sat down on the ground and held the meat out to Tommy, saying in friendly voice:
 Kitty. kitty, kitty, come eat the meat. Come, kitty!'
 Tommy approached cautiously. When a few feet off, he sat down and watched the Boy who still held the meat out to him. The smell of the tempting food was too much for Tommy. He went to- wards it, a few steps at time, and soon put out his paw for it. The Boy let him have it, for it was only bite. But hardly had Tommy devoured the

 On reaching n certain street. the Boy got on street car, explaining to the conductor that he had a fine, big tom cat in the bag,' and that he was taking him to his unce's farm, at the outskirts of the town
 Once outside the town the Boy got on the car and took Tommy to his new home: funny old-fashioned log house. where an old bachelor lived.
 Tommy was let out of the bag into cheeress room, with closed doors and windows. Well keep him shut in for while," said the Boys uncle. Where did you find him ?-Hes a dandy"
 ''Got him in the alley back of our house." explained the Boy. II have had my eye on him for days. Got him by coaxing with meat. He's pure Nal tese."

They were always such good friends. Only Georgia May, Florence and links sat in their places. So Minnie took her place before them, saying "As you children are the best in the class, will give yon ' each a half holiday. You may go to the park an swing and ride on the merry go-roun' An maybe mamma will let me go with you. I'll run an ask her"
 Then, while Hero parked in the yard and Puggins and Tabby romped in the sewing-room, and Georgia May, Florence ana Jlnks sat very quietly in their chairs, Minnie ran downstairs to ask her man. mas permission to go to the park.

 Certainly, little teacher" laughed mamma. And there is grandpapa on the porch just getting ready to take a walk. Run and ask him to go with you. dearie."
 When Minnie asked grandpapa to take walk with her and the three well-be. haved pupils he consented very readily. "Of course," he said. .'I shall feel much honored to be an escort to the new kin dergarten teacher. Come right along. And-what do you think of that?" And grandpapa pointed at old Hero, who was coming at full speed across the lawn. He knew there was to be walk some where and, as was his habit, he wanted to go along.
 Let him come with us, Gran'papa," said Minnie. Hell guard us from harm"
 And away they went, grandpapa. Min. nie, Hero and the three dolls. Of course the. three dolls were pushed along in their carriage, and Minnie 1t was who looked after them.
 And so the first day of Minnies school ended very pleasantly, even though some of the pupils had behaved in rather an unruly manner

 k and knew ever so many things.
 She could read a bit, too, In tiny little book written in very big letters And she could sing ever so many pretty songs, and could make funny little fig ures out of clay. Indeed, Minnie was considered most clever little girl for her years.
 'She Is going to become great wom- an" said Grandmamma, holding her head emphatically. "She's the prettiest little witch In all the country" declared Grandpapa earn estly.
 "she's genuine little brick, and my pal" laughed Papa, batting Minnie s curly head.
 "She's just my own darling baby, said Mamma tenderly, stooping to KISS her wonderful little daughter.
 "I'm goin' to be a teacher" informed Minnie proudly. An my first day Of school is to be this mornin.
 "Oh," calculated Papa And who are to be the pupils, dearie?"

 School was called at o'clock sharp, md was held in Mamma's sewing room, for there the windows were so nicely shaded from the hot June sun. Minnie brought her pupils in with her and ranged them against the wall on chairs. But she found 1t very difficult to make Hero and Puggins sit still And old Tabby. too, gave her some trouble, for just as she was about to begin the reef tations, Tabby jumped to the floor and began playing with an empty spool she found under table. But Minnie took the spool from her and hid 1t under a cushion on the couch. Then she put Tabby on her chair and said. speaking to the class:
 Now, chilluns, school is commenced. i So you mus behave very nicely. Listen, there, Hero, an stop scratchin your ear. An you, Puggins, wake up. Stop your snorin'. Now, Tabby, tell me how to catch mice.'
 Tabby looked wise, but said nothing. But Minnie knew Tabby could not talk, so she played at talking for her. q go to the cellar when it's very dark an sit beside a hole an catch one." Minnie answered her own ques- tion. (Of course, she played 1t was | Tabby who replied)

spot within a hundred feet of the boys hiding place, and as the moon shone fully on the path where he stood the hunters could get a pretty good view of him, although the lower part of the beasts body was hidden by a pile of rocks and fallen tree trunks which had been piled to one side of the path.
 Then Paul made a discovery and 1t caused the red blood to rush to his face and feeling of shame to take possession of him. Half rising to his feet he said in loud, careless voice: "Ah, come on. kids. It's our pack burro. He's got loose from his rope somehow and Is talk ing ramble on the mountain side. reckon there's no lion for us tonight"
 1t was useless for any of the boys to deny the truth of Paul's statement, for the burro had lifted up his head and was making his loud he-haw resound throughout the mountain. Evidently he had caught a glimpse of his young mas ters and was saluting them. The four hunters slowly arose, singing their guns over their shoulders, preparatory to start ing for camp. Fred went to the burro and took him by the mane, saying: Come along. old fellow. You have done enough mischief tonight, disgusting as lion so as to excite your masters. You ought to be ashamed, you fool"
 "He-haw! He-haw-aw-aw!' prayed the burio, as If saying:
 "You were the fools not l."

as snoring away in his llttle attic room

was snoring away in his little attic room under the sloping roof, Tommy crept stealthily from the woodshed and hurried toward the open road. Somehow in- stinct told him the direction he should go, for he turned toward the town which was only a mile distant from the farm house.
 It did not take Tommy long to reach the home of his happy days. Once in town he found the old beloved alley with out the least bit of trouble. But only one short, sweet hour did he allow him. self to finger there, for he knew that with the day the Boy would see him, and that all sorts of devices would be employed to recapture him. So he walked up and down the alley for brief and happy hour, then he went far, far from his old haunts. But Ee found as satis- factory a place, for he wandered down on the river front among the great wharves and warehouses, and there he became the best-known cat of the vicin- ity. Men would point him out and say: ..See that great Maltese tom? He's the finest fellow on the river. He belongs to everyone and to no one. for we all feel a deep interest in him. yet not one of us las ever been able to lay hands on him. He's a sort of privileged charac- ter. He comes and goes at his own sweet will, everybody throwing grub to him, yet nobody daring to try to cap tuIe him."
 And to the end of his life Tommy never forgot his period of captivity, and he profited by the lessons he had learned. "Everybody has an object in handing you tempting bits,'' hc would say to Eim- self. 50 it's wise to be on your guard, and to- look twice before you leap once. Keep an eye on deceivers, say l. And in so doing you keep your liberty"

 RED and Jack Coxey, VIII Heart 1 and Paul Grey had planned on the
 lion hunt for weeks, and as soon s
 school was out they were In readi-
 ness to start. They all lived in Colorado town, right in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, and every little while news reached the villagers of hunters see ing-sometimes shooting-a Hon up on the mountain side. So the boys had ar ranged to go hunting lion.
 The weather was ideal, and during the first day out the boys declared that the only place to live was in the open, on the side of the glorious Rockies. They had with them oue pack burro, and he was able to carry a small tent, bedding, provisions and other camp accessories. The boys carried their guns and ammuni- tion, also big eanteens of pure water They knew that plenty of the latter was to be found in springs and brooks but they thought 1t more in keeping with hunters to carry their water canteens.
 When they struck camp the first night, they all confessed to a keen appetite and it would have done anyone good to see them cook a wholesome camp supper and to deyour 1t. Yes, deyour is the only word which can express the manner in which those four boys got away with that meal of fried bacon and eggs. boiled coffee, homemade bread, cheese, crackers and plum preserves. It was Pauls mother who had insisted on her sons taking along several glasses of Jelly and preserves You'll all have sweet tooth" she declared, "and you'll be very glad to have jelly and preserves when tt comes to eating time"
 Well.s could the good Mrs. Grey have seen the way those preserves disappeared, spread thickly on great slices of bread which answered for dessert-she would have said "I told you SO.

The Boys Lion Hunt.

Then, as evening was the best time to lay in wait for a lion, the hunters de- cided 10 go to a fine spring near by the camping spot. and there lie hidden be- hind some bouders, awaiting their prey. They knew that lions, like all wild beasts, go forth az night in quest of food and water.
 Fred and Paul lay stretched out, guns in hand, behind a boulder some four feet from the spring. and commanding the path leading down the mountain side. Will and Jack crouched behind other boulders which were so situated that they had fine view of the path leading up the mountain side. In such positions the boys could see any creature ad- vancing toward the spring, and as the moon was good they could easily discern to what species the creature belonged.
 'I'll wager we get a lion before day break" said Paul in a subdued whisper. "One was seen in this neighborhood a week ago by old Daddy Jones. He did not try to shoot it; said he didn't want to destroy the few lions left in these parts.
 "old Daddy's funny old trapper, isn't he?" asked Fred.
 Say, mums the word, kids" warned Will in commanding whisper. Cant catch lions while enjoying social conyer- sation.'
 Right you are, pard," laughed Paul. Not another sign of life will I make till I see a lion, or hear one of you click the trigger on one.'
 Then silence reigned on the mountain side about the spring. Twelve o'clock came; 1 o'clock came; and still no sign of any life on the path, either below the spring or above 1t. Paul was so sleepy that he could hardly hold his eyes open. Fred was caught nodding several times and was aroused by the end of long stick in Pauls hands, Will began to
