working gradually higher and higher.
After almost an hour of this labor
the Indian found himself in a position
some fifty yards below the narrow ami
NAL trail the two mountain sheep were
pursuing. Above him reached the
sheer face of the cliff; craggy but yet
unsurmountable. 1t was still entirely
too far for successful shot with his
bow, and unless some Whim should
cause the sheep to seek a lower level
the chances were that his painstaking
stalking would prove to have availed
him nothing. AS he gazed at his
quarry his eyes discerned two animals
still higher up the mountain. Two
tawny mountain lions were creeping
stealthily, yet with considerable speed,
along a ridge that intercepted the
trail at a point not far from where
the Indian crouched,
As he discovered that these lions
also were intent on making a meal off
the carcass of sheep, the Indians
heart gave a leap, for it was quite pos
sible, in fleeing from the great cats,
one of the animals might approach
close enough for him to venture a shot
So they waited, the two lions above
the trail, the Indian below, while their
quarry approached with no knowledge
of the danger that lay ahead of them
AS the sheep rounded an elbow of the
cliff the mountain lions started from
their concealment, covered the space
intervening between themselves and
their prey in half dozen low, gliding
leaps and were upon them. Surprised
as they We're and with no chance
whatever of escaping by flight along
the path by which they had ap-
preached, the sheep halted, then, with
out turning, seemed to deliberately
leap into space.
Their keen eyes, however, had dis
covered several projecting rocks thirty
feet below. Inadequate though they
seemed, they yet afforded a sufficient
foothold for the clinging hoofs of the
fleeing animals. In this way bounding
from rock to rock with incredible
speed, the two sheep safely made their
way down the precipitous face of the
cliff.
With a snarl of baffled rage one of
the cats had halted on the very brink
of the precipice Her mate, more eager
to make kill or unable to stap his
rapid charge, shot over the edge, and,
Whirling over and over, claWing at the
wall of rock in a futile endeavor to
halt his descent, fell at last at the
very feet of the red man, where he
was transfxed with two feathered
shafts.

ENJOYED AFFAIRS AT HOME

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l am glad that I lived in the year
1909, because so many events have
happened that have never happened be-
fore and may never again, such as the
discovering of the north pole and of
the fight between Cook and Peary for
the honor of it's discovery.
/ think the next greatest event was
the Elks coming to Los Angeles and
the E,lks parade
1 liked the school children's parade
for the school bonds. In the year past
we have had the worlds fair at Seat
tie and President Taft has travelled
all over the United States and has been
in Los Angeles.
/ just began writing for the Junior
in the year 1909, and we had the mid
summer frolic. l think in the year
1909 I have seen things that l will re-
member.
l have had a merry Christmas and
received many gifts.

A STRANGE PET

In the December Strand Magazine
there is a charming tccount of a pet
lemur belonging to Sir w. S. Gilbert
of "Pinafore" fame This special lemur
was called Job and when left by him.
self he preferred to sit in his own
armchair, stout little one of oak,
about seven inches wide, which Sir
William had made for him. At first
he would not sit in this chair, and
when put into it would not remain
there. Happily someone, knowing
that he had very luxurious tastes,
laughingly suggested that perhaps he
wanted cushions in it. | thought it
not at all unlikely, SO 1 made some of
velvet for the back and seat, then put
him into the chair. and he remained
sitting in it with an air of comfort and
satisfaction. In the winter it stood by
the fireplace in the library. He would
sit in it for hours gazing into the fire,
leaning back against the cushion,
hand on each arm, and his feet
stretched out to the fender. Often
when he heard some noise in the room
he would turn his head back to look
over his shoulder, laying one arm along
the back of the chair, an attitude SO
human that it always caused great
amusement. He evidently regarded the
chair as his own property and showed
much annoyance if any of the kittens
got into it, promptly slapping them
and turning them out when he found
them there.
In the matter of food he was most
difficult, as he cared for only a few
things, and they had to be of the best.
Brown bread and fruits, principally
bananas, were the only things he ate,
but the bananas had to be in perfect
condition. and if the least oVer-ripe he
would not touch them; the bread had
to be especially baked for him twice a
week, as he would only eat kind
made with baking powder, all yeast
bread being scorned; and the fruits
had to be CT the best quality.

BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA ABODE
Deor Aunt Laurie:

Deor Aunt Laurie:
Nothing is more interesting to write
about than the beautiful residence of
Henry E. Huntington, which is situ-
ated on a Hill on the road to Sierra
Madre. 1t has been in course of con-
struction for many months past and
it is not finished yet.
1t is a stately mansion, surrounded
by orange groves. Many men are
working every day fixing up the
grounds, which are already in fine
shape. The grounds are laid off and
planted with trees and plants. Mr..
Huntington is going to have the larg
est variety of trees and plants in the
world. When he makes this place his
home he is going to take up the study
of different plants.
The interior of the building is said to
be very beautiful, large force of dec
orators having been working there this
summer.
There is special car track which
goes right up to the door of the resi-
dence.
This residence will no doubt be one
of the most beautiful country homes to
be found anywhere.

YEAR HELD MUCH PLEASURE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I think 1909 has been a very pleas
ant year for me. OF course there
were some things that didn't go just
right, but you can't expect every day
to be pleasant. There were some days
that 1 could have made pleasant that
l didn't, but this year 1 am going to
be more careful.
1t was in 1900 that I started to
write for the Herald Junior, and met
you for the first time. I enjoy writ
ing for the Junior very much, and I
think all the other Juniors enjoy it
as much as / do. I enjoyed going to
your office because when I came there
l felt as if 1 had known you for years.
1t was last November that the first
Herald Junior club was formed. 1
hope when this year is over there will
be many clubs formed because I think
it is very nice to write for the Junior.
IT makes our English lessons so much
easier. When the meetings are over
you can play games and have a good
time
With best wishes for success to you
and all the Juniors l must close

Peremptory, for Cause.
After disposing of all the cases af-
fecting the Oneida irrigation district
so far at least as this special term was
concerned, Judge Bulge was asked by
two local attorneys TO hear, at night
session, the testimony of witnesses in
support of a motion to dissolve an in
junction he had issued few weeks
previous relating to stream Of water
out in the hills few miles above the
town of Malad.
The Judge, who was very weary from
overwork, finally agreed to hear the is
sues: Accordingly court reconvened,
the long pleadings were carefully read
20 him, affidavits pro and con were pre-
sented at length, witnesses sworn on
either side. examined and cross-exam"
ined. The respective attorneys for the
litigants were making exhaustive pre-
parations for arguments when the court
casually inquired: Gentlemen, how
large a flow Of water has this stream
at the present time7" to which both
honor and then the court learned that
for two weeks. or soon after the in
junction was issued, this stream, as
was it's annual custom, ran dry.
Without further ceremony the judge
instructed the sheriff to "AdjouTn
court, Mr.. Sheriff." while the two at.
torneys looked askance that their pre-
pared flights of oratory must be pre-
served for the fall term of the district
court in and for Oneida county. The
disgust of the court as he left the
bench was evident.
