The other after- noon two gentlemen stood by the cage watching the graceful animal as it restlessly moved from one end of the cage to the other with rythmatical pre- cision. ‘Last winter.” said one, “I was shooting in the Sierra Tara Nate mountains, in Mexico, where, from the signs and tracks in the sand-bot- tomed canyons, these animals were very abundant.

Zin guide, Jack Bridges, who used to be ee S with Custer, would sit up in his blank- ets and say: ‘Go it when you can, for we are going todo you up.’ “For days we looked for the home of the lion, and, although we could see his footprints, which appeared like very big fours of clubs, he did so much rock walking that it was impossible to track him to his cave. Que day we met a M-xican smuggling outfit, and the Captain told us that in a canyon several miles from our camp there was a hermit lion, whom he never failed to get a glimpse of when taking the trail that way. For years back he had missed seeing him, but of lato he had noticed that the lion was lame, proba- bly from having run a cactus point into his foot, or from jumping too much out of the way of earthquakes.

The sides were volcanic rock, jagged and broken with holes and erevices. Jack was on ahead, and I at his heels, when we came face to face with the lion, who was sitting in the mouth of his cave trying to stare us out of counte- nance. He gave one scratch, and then his long tail disappeared around the corner of a big bowlder, just as we got sight of him. Neither had a chance toshoot. Half minute later we saw him go limping up the side of the di- vide, and when he reached the top he squatted and looked complacently down atus. He was provokingly out of shot, and he knew it as well as we did. “Then began one of the most scien- tific hunts on record. We were both as mad as hornets.

When we turned to go home we sud- denly spied his nibs squatting down on top of the divide winking at us. At El Paso I told a merchant this story, and showed him what was left of the poison.
