Tjaden lifts his head. And do.

Himmelstoss turns to him: Tia

Tjaden lifts his head. And do
you know what you are?"
Himmelstoss is disconnected.
Since when have we become so ia
miIiar? I don't remember that we
ever slept in the gutter together?"
He has no idea what to make OF
the situation. He didn't expect this
open hostility. But he is on his
guard; someone has already dinned
some rot into him about getting a
shot in the back.
The question about the gutter
makes Tjaden so mad that he be-

Himmelstoss begins to boil. But
Tjaden gets in ahead of him. He

Tjaden winks solemnly. "You

Himmelstoss is a raging book of

couldn't be more insulted. "Tjaden,
I command you, as your superior

Tjaden replies, without knowing

We watch him disappear in the

Hale laughs SO much that he dis

there helpless with his mouth wide

fist.

RiValry in Leather Exports

THE million dollar markets" for American
leather have increased by 200 per cent
since 1913, the last year prior to the World
War, but in spite Of this and the fact that
the United States IS the largest producer Of
leather in the world. Germany ranked first as
an exporter of leather
In the pre-war year, Canada, Argentina and
four European countries buy American leather
to the tune Of q million or more. Last year
found five more European countries and Brazil,
Colombia, Cuba, China. Japan and the Philip
pines in the select class and Mexico. Belgium
and Turkey are lowering around the outer
circle.
The total of exports is now approximating
SIS, 100000 and is steadily rising.
The reason for Germany's advantage Is
proximity to the European markets and facili-
ties for prompt deliveries. The Department of
Commerce points out that if the United States
is to meet and pass Germany it can be done
only through the concentrating of large stocks
in shipping centers from which orders may be
filed with dispatch.

Bruce" says Snow, quickly sensed the
situation. Even though the dogs might tree the

unless we arrived to back them up. A lion will

this second expedition Snow found the bones
mute reminders Of that noted explorers tragic
plunge into the Arctic.
Africa and the Arctic yielded Snow much In
the way Of thrills, valuable skins, live animal
specimens and reels Of film But what next?
J. c. Bruce, CALIFORNIA; official predatory
animal hunter, gave the answer.
"Africa-Alaska- humph!" he grunted. "n
you want some real fun, pack up your camera
and come along with me. Wen rope us some
mountain lions"
Going to Africa and Alaska, Snow had sSBnt
weeks and months on the road But it was
but few hours automobile ride to the lair Of
the mountain lion, scarcely beyond the sound
Of factory whistles.
MO mountain lion had ever been roped be-
fore and, perhaps no man but Bruce with
more than 400 lions to his credit would dare
attempt it.
You must tree the lion by means of trained
hunting dogs, no small feat in ITSELF Next

does not roam the forest in haphazard manner.
He follows q set course much as forest ranger
might do But once the bay of the dogs begins
to resound over timber hillsdes. the lion In
stinctively tries to outdistance the dogs. But
men are easier TO elude.
Snow, however, managed to keep within
listening distance the first time the dogs
picked up q hot trail. It was when the lion
leaped headlong into boiling mountain

trails the thing, and since he had not been
drowned, why not hit the trail2"
Family came the staccato yelps of frenzied
dogs, and the men knew the quarry had been
freed. Twenty minutes later they reached the
tree In which crouched q monster male lion,
its tail twitching angrily as 1t glared upon the
enemies below
Bruce calmly prepared the loop while set
up the movie camera" Snow relates. HE
fastened the loop to his forked stick. Slowly
he advanced upon the tree, gradually thrusting
the loop upward toward that snarling head.
Time after time the lion furiOusly batted
the loop away. Then-well, saw a tawny
streak shooting through the air as though fired
from q cannon.
Il dropped to the ground jerking the camera
along with me. The lion sailed over my head
In q long arc, hit the ground like q rubber
ball. and bounded away into the forest.
So ended the first attempt to rope Q lion.
The second was no less thrilling.
This Iona big handicapped fun at
Bruce" Snow says. Bruce, although as quick
as cat was not quick enough and lion and
man went down in a furry OF leaves, tw1gs
and profanity.
SS A LII had to do was to shoot the lion
and end the fight But-which was
lion and which was man? The affair looked
like blurred movie Speeded up 1000 per cent.
But Bruce settled the matter himself In
some manner he managed to release one arm
and grasp his SiX-shooter. He fired blindly

. couple Of times, and lay dead
The next day third lion was encountered,
but he eluded the nervy hunters.
We'll get one tomorrow" vowed Bruce In
camp that night Feel it in my bones"
I'VE got on the trail of lion, right enough"
Snow says, land finally freed 1t. The limb
upon which the lion crouched at bay was quite
barren Of low-hanging limbs, making con-
ditions favorable for the loop stunt.
Il began to grind the camera. Bruce prod
ded and poked lodged blow after blow aimed
at the stick, and finally planted the loop over
the lions head.
That Hon-it was a full-grown female

And then-it leaped And what q leap!
Fully 30 feet. Me? Oh, simply kept grinding
Away-the old habit. You might as well be

after your scalp.
But the end was not as we had expected.
Wham! The beast struck the ground And lay
there dead as a door nail, its neck broken by
the fury Of its leap"

"Just ahead of Bruce was a shelf Of rock.
He managed to scramble upon it to safety and
abandoned the camera to rush to his aid.

grown lion by roping it from a tree, much as
a cowpuncher might rope range pony.

you something new promised Bruce with Q
grin.
"Snag it he did. and the young lion, as full

the ground In q swirl of leaves, fur and dogs.
Bruce called on the dogs both for their own
Sakes and to save the lion from injury. An
adult lion will rip Q dog from stem TO stern
with one blow. and baby lion will do almost
as well.
Imagine my establishment, then, when Bruce
calmly produced o pair of heavily padded
gloves and reached for the snarling beast. 1t
didn't make sense to me, but Bruce seemed to
know his business.
He caught 1t by the hind legs, never for a
moment releasing his hold on the rope which
still bound the lions neck. With one hand he
then grasped the snarling beast by the neck,
releasing the rope as he did so.
For while It was a toss up. You couldn't
say whether lion or man was getting the best
Of this amazing encounter.
WEINALLY Bruce succeeded in getting q
hold that the lion couldn't break.
Whereupon the hunter calmly threw a couple
of half-hitches over its legs, shouldered the
beast and headed for camp.
