The man breathed a sigh of relief as he
lowered his rifle. He saw the girl fling a
grlmace at the angry, roaring man-eater
beneath her, and then, laughing. speed away
into the forest. For an hour the lion re-
manned about the water hole. A hundred
times could the hunter have bagged his
prey. Why did he fail to do so2 Was
he afraid that the shot might attract the
girl and cause her to return?
At last Numa, still roaring angrily,

hunter crawled from his bona, and half an
hour later was entering little camp snugly
hidden in the forest. A handful of black
followers greeted his return with sullen in

MR.. AND MRS. PANTSLEG
By Farmer Smith

Willie Hop Toad was lying in bed, the
snow-whlte covers tucked about his throat.
Suddenly he jumped up and shouted. "Yes!"
What is the matter?" asked his mother
kindly, as she put down her sewing and
looked at him.
II guess 1 must have been dreaming, A"
said Willie, as he sank back on the soft
pillow.
In a little while he heard the funniest
voices he had ever listened to before, and
they came from the foot of his bed:
II wish to goodness you would get of of
me-"
II am sure did not put myself across
you that way, Mr.. Pantseg I think 1t was

Willie Hop Toad looked first at the Chair
and then at his Pair of little Pants.

again"
"I am sure do not like to be left on the
floor with the chair leg crushing me- Both
my wife and myself like to be hung up
where there is plenty of air. When we
get wrinkles, people say we are getting
old, and 1 am almost new. A little Hop
Toad, like you, wants to have pants badly,
but when he gets them, he does not take

Just then Willie Hop Toad awoke sud
denly and in the dim morning light he saw
his Pants under the Chair.

sorry, Mr.. Pantsleg." he said. II will not
