A Lion Hunter’s Yarn.

An Intrepid sportsman, returning from a hunting expedition, tells .the following story: “I saw a magnificent lion, and was on the point of firing, when, with a terrible roar, he sprang at me. Fortunately he misjudged my height and jumped at least two feet over my head, and then rushed away into the bush. “Early next morning I and my guide started to track him. After several hours we came noiselessly upon him. And there, in a clearing of the forest, I saw him practicing low jumps!”
