I then advanced a few paces nearer to the edge of the glade, where I expected him to appear, in order to have a chance of shooting him closer Lcould hear him advancing at thirty paces, then at twenty, then at fifteen; still I felt no fear. All I ‘thought was, Suppose he was to turn back! Suppose he does not come opt into the glade! And at each sound whish showed him nearer to me, my heart beat louder, in a complete rapture of joy and hope. ‘One apxious thought crossed my mind. ‘What if my gun were to miss fire?” sald J glancing down upon it But confidence again prevailed, and my only anxicty was fur tke long wished-for appearance of my fue. © The lion, after a short pause, which acemed to me an age, began to come forward again, and presently I could see before mo, by the starlight, at but a few paces off, the top of o small tree, which I could almost touch, ac- tually shaken by the contact of the lion. This was his last pause. There was now between us but the thickness of that single tree, eoy- ered with branches from the foot upwards. “I was standing with my face to the wood, and with my gun pointed so as to be ready to fire the moment the animal should enter the glade; and having still an interval of about a second, I took advantage of it ty make sure that L could regulate properly the aim of my barrel. Thanks toa glimmer of light which came from the west, to the clearness of the sky filled with the shining stars, and to the whiteness of the glade, which was con- spicuous sgainst the dark-zreen of the furest, I could just seo the end of my barrels—that was all—but it sufficed for so close an aim. ‘It is scarcely necessary to say that I did not waste much time in this investigation I was beginning to find that the animal was rather slow in his motions, and to fear that, instead of advancing unsuspiciously, he be- came aware of my presence, and was to spring over the lentize which separated us As if to justify this fear, the lion gave tw or three deep growls, and then began to roar furiously, **O, iny fellow disciple of S:."Mubert ; you who can feel and understand, fancy yourself at night in the open forest, leaning sgu small tree, out of which rises a volley of enough to drown tho noise of thunder itself~ imagine yourself with only ono single shot to fire on this formidable ani who only fells by the merest chance under a single bail and who kills his opponent without meroy if he is not killed himself You can doubtless under- stand that, had I trusted to strength alone, my heart would have failed me; in spite of my efforts my sight would have become dim and my hand unsteady. ** Yes, Lconfess frankly, and withont shame, that terrible roar made me feel that man was small indeed in the presence of a lion; and without a firm will and that absolute confi- dence which 1 derived from tho inexhaustible Source of all Power, I believe I should have failed in that avfal moment. But this strength enabled me to listen to the tremendous voite of my enemy without trembling or emotion, and to the end I retained a perfect mastery over the puls:tion of heart, and a full control over my nerves ‘‘When I heard the lion make a last step, I moved a little aside, aud no sooner did his enormous head rise out of the wood at two or three yards distance from me, he stopped to stare at me with a look of wonder, than L aimed between the ear and the eye, and slow- ly pressed the trigger. “From the instant I touched this until I heard the report of the gun, my heart ceased to beat. After the shout I could eee nothing; but through the smoke which enveloped the lion I heard the most tremendous, agonizing and fearfully protracted roar. ‘““My two men meantime, jumped up, but without making a step forward, and unableto see anything, stood with their guns shoulder- ed ready to fire. Formyself, I waited, dagger in hand and one knee on the ground, until the smoke should disperse, end could see how matters atopd. ** 48 s00n as all was clear, I bebeld, first, a paw, and heavens, what a paw! then oue leg, then a shoulder, then the head, and at last the whole body of my enemy.
