When he arrived on the line of attack he saw a dim streak in the air. and heard a couple of faint cracks. Then a hundred pounds of Mexican lion plumped down upon hbt head and flattened him. with a heavy jar. to the mourd. He remembered calling out: "Lot tip. now no fair ii!,'iiip!" and then he crawled from under the lion like a worm, with his mouth full of prass and dirt, and a bipr lump on tho back of Iiis h'ad where it had struck tho root of n. water-elm.

"Ls that you, Mr. Givens?" and Josefa, in her deliberate, saccharine contralto. "You nearly spoiled my shot when you yelled. Did you hurt your head when you fell?" "Oh, no," paid Givens, quietly; "that didn't hurt." He stooped if?nominiou?ly and dragged hia best Stetson hat from under the beast. It was crushed and wrinkled to a fine comedy effect. Then he knelt down and softly stroked the fierce, open-

jawed head of the dead lion. "Poor old Bill!" he exclaimed mournfully.

What's that?" asked Jo?efa sharply. "Of cour.so you didn't know, Miss Josefa." said Givens. with an air of one allowing magnanimity to triump over grief. "Nobody can blame jon I tried to save him. but r couldn't let you know in time." "Save who?" "Why. Hill. I've been looking for him all day. You see, he's been ou camp pet for two years. Toor old fellow, he wouldn't have hurt a cottontail rabbit. It'll break the boys all up when they hear about it. But you couldn't tell, of course, that Bill was just trying to play with you." Jo- fa's black eyes burned steadily upon him. Ripley Givens met the test successfully. He stood rumpling tho yellow-brown curls on his head pensively. In his eyes was reprret. not iinminerled with a gentle repronch. His smooth features wero fot to a pattern of indisputable sorrow. Josefa wavered. "What was your pet doing here?" she asked, making a last stand. "There's no camp near tho White Horse cros.sinR"." 'The old rascal ran away from camp yesterday," answered Givens readily "It's a wonder the coyotes didn't scare him to death. You sop.
