THE MOUNTAIN LION

One Gay two OF my friends and
decided to 60 camping. We were
going to camp in the mountains for
two weeks. We selected a beauti
full place The grass was very
green and wild flowers .bloomed all
around.
We had been there about six
days when something happened
that caused us to leave immediate
ly. 1t was about noon, and we
were cooking our dinner. which
consisted 4ef bacon and potatoes.
when we suddenly heard a slight
noise in the ,underbrush not far
distant. We supposed it was a rab-
bit or some other small animal, and
lit did not worry us. But suddenly
there appeared from the under
brush large mountain lion that
would have scared any one.
We had no means of defense,
having brought no guns with us
1t was about ready to spring and we
did not know what to do. There
was a river close by and we thought
that we could probably run and
swim across. We ran as fast as
we could and swan across the riy
er, but to our dismay we found the
lion could also swim. We were
frantic with fear.
The mountain lien suddenly
jumped into a tree and we thought
we were safe, but when we looked
up in the tree it was again ready
to spring, ~
We began to run and the noun
tain lion sprang from tree to tree.
We were SO terrified that we could
scarcely run.
We were running along when we
came to q cave. We went. right in
and in there we found a gun and
shells. ~,
! One of my friends who could
shoot real straight shot the lion.
We found out later that the cave
had been inhabited. by wild man.
He. had been killed and his gun was
still in thcre.-Olive Pontius. Lew

coHraged she seemed to have lost
all fear. She went back, to her
seat amid much applause and ring
ing cheers.
Lillian then stepped forward and
Immediately there was hush. She
gave tho title, 1.-THE Old Violin. -
That was a shock to the people and
also to Beatrice.
Going to the side of the stage
she gently raised a violin from its
case. The audience was appalled,
and seemed to. be carried away as
though the violin itself were telling
q story to, them. Everything was
pictured to them SO plain that when
she had finished all hearts were
softened and all eyes were glisten.

THE CONTEST

~ SOANA A1tS 4
springtime was drawing near and
the annual, literary contest was
foremost in all the minds OF. the
scholars of the Highland high
school.
We notice two. girls who are es-
pecially interested in the declama-
tory contest. Beatrice and Lillian
have both decided : to try out. 1t
can easily be seen. that each one
has set her heart on gaining the
medal in that glerious night.
Now these two girls are friends.
but still their natures are somewhat
different. Beatrice is tall, grace.
full girl. She has rather COM
manding spirit and seems to ac-
complish anything she. wishes to
do. She is very lovable and wins
many friends by her smiling face,
but still she displays at times a
rather naughty air which seems
hard for her to,conauer.
Lillian is also slim and graceful
but not as tall as her friend "B" as
she calls her She is a great ia
vorite among her schoOimates. be-
cause of her sweet disposition. She
is not a girl of many words. but a
smile is always seen on her face.
Much as the girls loved each
other. they decided to contest one
against the other. They also
planned not to tell each other what
they would speak. on. as they
thought It would be- more exciting
to wait and see what the other was
going to speak about. 4
/ It so happened that they both Sc
lected the same piece. each think
ing that hers was going to be the
best. They would get together and
talk about their ,pieces. but never
told the title. S
Beatrice. whose pareats were

coached by a talented elocutionist,
but Lillian. unable to pay for les
sons. on her speech, taught herself
She had had much of this training
In former years. bat now she was
elder. her parents felt that they
could not afford it .- r.
Each sin placed much time on
her piece. as she knew that time
aud practice was the only true way
to perfection. Beatrice and Lillian
seemed anxious for the day to come
as 'theyehad never really entered in
to such "a contest before. *
"B" pvacticed with her teacher

days we're flyiag rapidly. Only two
days more and the very thought
made them hold their breath. Pre-:
pared rs they were, yet they
thought themselves to be incapable
of their part Lillian. digging away
by herself day after day, seemed to
delight IN her undertaking.
1t Is now the night for the con.
test and the girls are seen coming
into the building together Each
knows that she will 60 out Of the
building either the winner or the
loser. and the suspense is almost
uncomfortable. .l<
The declamatory contest was the
second on the program. Beatrice
was called upon to give her reading
first. Dressed in a light green wolfe
dress she looked more like q fairy
than . young girl as she stepped
to the front of the stage. -.
