awoke. 1t was broad daylight. The
hideous night was gone.
She could scare believe the tes-
timony of her senses. She had slept
for hours; the fire was out, and yet
she and the horse were safe and
alive; nor was there sign of savage
beast about. And best of all, the
sun was shining, pointing the
straight road to the east. Hastily
she ate a few mouthfuls of her pre-
cious rations, and took a swallow of
water. Then she saddled her horse
and mounted. Already she felt that
she was as good as safe.
Possibly, however, she might have
revised her conclusions could she have
seen the two pairs of eyes watching
her every move intently from diff
ferent points in the bush.
Light-hearted and unsuspecting,
the girl rode across the clearing
toward the bush, while directly be-
fore her two yellow-green eyes
glared round and terrible, and a
tawny tail twitched nervously, and
great, padded paws gathered beneath
sleek barrel for a mighty spring.
The horse was almost at the edge of
the bush when Numa the lion
launched himself through the air. He
struck the animals right shoulder
at the instant it reared, terrified, to
wheel in fight. The force of the
impact hurled the horse backward
to the ground, and SO quickly that
the girl had no opportunity to ex-
tricate herself, but fell to the earth
with her mount, her left leg pinned
beneath its body.
Horror. stricken, she saw the king
of beasts open his mighty jaws and
seize the screaming creature by the
back of its neck. The great jaws
closed; there was an instant's
struggle as Numa shook his prey.
She could hear the vertebrae crack
as the mighty fangs crunched
through them, and then the muscles
of her faithful friend relaxed in
death.
Numa crouched upon his kill. His
terrifying eyes riveted themselves
upon the girls face; she could feel
his hot breath upon her cheek, and
the odor Of the fetid vapor nause-
ated her. For what seemed an
eternity to the girl the two lay
staring at each other, and then the
lion uttered a menacing growl.
Never before had Bertha Kircher
been so terrified--never before had
she had such cause for terror. At
her hip was pistol. formidable

weapon with which to face a man
but a puny thing indeed with which
to menace the great beast before
her. She knew that at best it coulc
but enrage him, and yet she meant
to sell her life dearly, for bhe knew
that she mus die. No human succo,
could have availed her even had II
been there to offer itself. For mo.
ment she tore her gaze from the
hypnotic fascination Of that awful
face and breathed last prayer.
No one can prophesy what a lion
will do in any given emergency. This
one glared and growled at the girl
for moment and then-fell to feed
ing upon the dead horse. Frauleir
Kircher wondered for an instant and
then began to attempt to draw her
leg cautiously from beneath the body
Of her mount, but she could not
bulge it. She increased the force of
her efforts, and Numa looked up
from his feeding to growl again. The
girl desisted. She hoped that he
might satisfy his hunger and then
depart, but she could not believe
that he would leave her there alive.
Doubtless he would drag the re-
mains of his kill into the bush for
hiding, and as there could be no
doubt that he considered her part
of his prey, he would certainly come
back for her, or possibly drag her
in first and kill her.
Again Numa fell to feeding. The
girls nerves were at the breaking
point. She wondered that she had
not tainted under the strain Of ter
ror and shock. She recalled that she
had often wished that she might see
lion make a kill and feed upon it.
How realistically her wish had been
granted
Again she bethought herself Of
her pistol. AS she had fallen, the
holster had slipped around so that
the weapon now lay beneath her.
Very slowly she reached for it, but
in doing so she was forced to raise
her body from the ground. Instantly
the lion was aroused. With the
swiftness Of cat he reached across
the carcass of the horse and placed
a heavy, taloned paw upon her
breast, crushing her back to earth;
and all the time he growled and
snarled horribly. His face was a
picture of rage incarnate. Fer a
moment neither moved, and then
from behind her the girl heard 4 hu-
man voice uttering beastlike sounds.
Numa looked suddenly up from
the girls face at the thing beyond

her. His growls increased to roar'
as he drew back, ripping the front
Of the girls waist almost from hel
body with his long talons, exposing
her white bosom, which through
some miracle of chance the
claws did not touch.

the entire encounter from the mo.
ment that Numa had leaped upon
his prey. For some time he had been
watching the girl, and after the lion
attacked her, he had at first been
minded to let Numa have his way
with her. What was she but hated
German, and spy besides? He had
seen her at General Kraut's head
quarters in conference with the Ger
man staff, and again he had seen her
within the British lines masquerade
ing as British officer. 1t was the
latter thought that prompted him to
interfere. Doubtless General Jan
Smuts would be glad to meet and
question her. She might be forced
to divulge information of value to
the British commander before SHUTS
had her shot.
Tarzan had not only recognized
the girl, but the lion as we'll. All
lions may look alike to you and me,
but not so to their intimates of the
jungle. Each has his individual
characteristics of face and form and
gait, as we'll defined as those that
differentiate members of the human
family; and besides these, the crea-
lures of the jungle have a still more
positive test-that Of scent. Each
of. US, man or beast, has his own
peculiar odor, and it is more by this
that the beasts of the jungle, en-
dowed with miraculous powers of
scent, recognize individuals.
Tarzan recognized Numa as he
whom he had muzzled with the hide
of ,Horta the boar-as he whom he
had led by a rope for two days and
finally loosed in a German front-line
trench; and he knew that Numa
would recognize him, that he would
remember the sharp spear that had
goaded him into submission and
obedience; and Tarzan hoped that
the lesson he had learned still re-
mained with the lion.
Now he came forward, calling to
Numa in the language of the great
spes--warning him away from the
girl. It is open to question that
Numa the lion understood him, but
he did understand the menace of the
heavy spear that the Tarmangani
carried so ready in his brown right

the boom of cannon, but she could
not locate their direction. She ar
ranged her saddle near the fire and
pulled quantity of long grass to
make a comfortable seat, over which
she spread her saddle-blanket. Then
she unstrapped a heavy military
coat from the cantle of her saddle
and donned it, for the air was al
ready chill. Seating herself where
she could lean against the saddle,
she prepared to maintain a sleepless
vigil throughout the night.
The silence had been broken only
by the distant booming of the guns
and the low anoises of the feeding
horse; and then, from possibly a
mile away, came the rumbling thun-
der of lions roar. The girl started
and laid her hand upon the rifle at
her side. A little shudder ran
through her slight frame, and she
could feel the goose-fesh rise upon
her body.
Again and again the awful sound
was repeated, and each time she was
certain it came nearer. She could
locate the direction of this sound,
although she could not place that of
the guns, for the origin of the for
mer was much closer. The lion was
up wind, and so could not have
caught her scent as yet, though he
might be approaching to investigate
the light of the fire.
Suddenly her horse raised his head
and snorted, anG with little cry of
terror the girl sprang to her feet.
The animal turned and trotted back
toward her until the picket-rope
brought him to stand, and then ne
wheeled about and with ears up
pricked gazed out into the night, but
the girl could neither see nor hear
anything beyond the fire.
An hour of terror passed, during
which the horse often raised his head
to peer long and searchingly into the
dark. The girl replenished the fire
from time to time. She found her.
self becoming very sleepy; her heavy
lids persisted in drooping-but she
dared not sleep. Fearful lest she
might be overcome by the drowsiness
that was stealing through her, she
rose and walked briskly to and fro;
then she threw some more wood on
the fire, walked over and stroked her
horses muzzle and returned to her
seat. Leaning against the saddle,
she tried to occupy her mind with
plans for the morrow. I.

hand, and so the lion drew back
growing, trying to decide in his little
brain whether to charge or flee.
On came the ape-man with never
pause, straight for the lion. "Gc
away, Numa," he cried, cor Tarzar
will tie you up again and lead you
through the jungle without food
See Arad, my spear? Do you recall
how this point stuck into you and
how with this haft l beat you over
the head? Go, Numa! am Tarzan
of the Apes!"
Numa wrinkled the skin of his
face into great folds, until his eyes
almost disappeared, and he growled
and roared and snarled and growled
again; and when the spear-point came
at last quite close to him, he struck
at it viciously with his armed paw.
But he drew back. Tarzan stepped
over the dead horse, and the girl ly-
ing there gazed in wide-eyed aston
ishment at the handsome figure driv-
ing an angry lion deliberately from
its kill.

ENOR moment the latter stood his
ground with arched back and
snarling face, for all the world like
great, spotted tabby. Numa had
not felt like fighting; but the sight
of Sheeta daring to dispute his
rights kindled his ferocious brain TO
sudden fire. His eyes glared with
sudden rage; his undulating tail
snapped to stiff erectness as with a
roar he charged.
1t came so suddenly and from so
short distance that Sheeta had no
chance to turn and flee the rush, and
so he met it with raking talons and
swapping jaws. But the odds were
all against him. To the larger fangs
and the more powerful jaws of his
adversary were added huge talons
and the preponderance of the lions
great weight. At the first clash
Sheeta was crushed, and though he
deliberately fell upon his back and
drew up his powerful hind legs he-
meath Numa with Che intention OF
disemboweling him, the lion fore
stalled him and at the same time
closed his awful jaws upon Sheeta's
throat.

MEAT, AFFECTED BY TIDES
California Farmer Makes Peculiar A.
sertion Concerning the Proper
Time for Killing Hogs.

In addition to being used 70
floating ships, carrying sewage
drainage, irrigation, food contro
and for drinking purposes, the Sac
ramento (Cal.) river is now usei
to determine the proper time fol
killing hogs.
Local United States Weather Oh.
server N. R. Taylor was visited BY
q farmer who inquired concerning
the rise and fall Of the tides on the
river, and enlightened the weather
sage by telling him that he wanted
to get in on the next cold spell, and
to be sure he was on the safe side
he wanted to get the correct read
ing.
The theory of the farmer in
coupling hog killing with the river
tides was thus explained by the Wis
itor: If the swine is slaughtered on
falling or ebb tide the bacon all
runs to grease in the frying pam;
but if the porker is butchered at
flood tide the meat will be firm and
retain the delicious breakfast odor
coming from the streaked sides and
from the aroma of the sweet ham
and rich gravy.
