In the direction of the bush. Follow
Ing up these. the search party came
upon a large open space, at the far
ther side of which they discovered the
object Of their search sitting hugging
little wooden doll and munching q
piece Of bread and butter. Before
they could make their way through
the thick. tangled underground a large
lion sprang into the clearing. The lit.
tie boy. far from being frightened. ran
to meet the lion. holding up his bread
and butter and said. Take a bite.

The father stood powerless to move
or speak through fear. expecting each
instant to see the child crushed under
the lions paw. but instead of doing
as he dreaded the lion turned himself
over and lay on his back at the cbilds
feet. looking up In his face as cat
would do at play. Watching his OPP
portunity. the father raised his gun
and fred. hitting the lion In the leg.
The animal sprang up and. leaving the
child. rushed on the party. inJuring
