some miles from ‘cur place; but they
started earlier than 1 did, and I cc ald
not drive my oxen fast enough to over-
take them that day. Lep, nmy Ligh ox,
was a big, red and white fel with
enormous horns which he was tco good
natured to use. Coaly, the black off
ox, was of a different temper
He was taller than Lep, much

then the hamlet of Paluxy. The road.
seldom traveled in those days, was too
vague to be followed by night withou:
upsetting the wagon. So I reluctantly
turned aside into a small open spa
among the cedars, and halted. Th
month was January, but the weather
was mild for the season.
The steep, rocky sides of the wild
gorges were overgrown with twisted
cedars, and rose to what I thought a
great height. In the gloom and lone-
liness 1 made my preparations for
camping with much trepidation,
though I really had no other reas
for fear than that wolves, wildca
and mountain licns had been encour
tered in this great ravine.
After unyoking the oxen and tying
them to trees, I collected dry cedar
wood, of which there was abundance,
and piled it near the wagon. When a
fire had been kindled, 1 warmed
self and felt more cheerful. The fire-
light banished the darkness in the im-
mediate vicinity but seenied to increase
As soon as 1 was warm 1 fed the
oxen and then prepared my own gup-
per. Mother had provided me with a
good supply of cooked provisions. Af-
ter broiling some slices of pork on a
stick, and warming some bread in the
same way, | made a hearty meal.
Then 1 sat for a while before the
fire enjoying its warmth, soon
grew sleepy in spite of my surround-
ings. Knowing that I would have to
get an early start the next morning
in order to overtake my friends, I
thought it well to go to bed early.’l
had determined to sleep on the grou
by the fire.
After spreading a layer of untound
sheaf oats on the ground, I put down
several quilts for a bed, and then
others for coverings. Then I piled
more wood on the fire, gave the cxen a
good supply of cats and fodder, and
crawled into my not uncomfortable
bed.
While listening to the wind shriek-
ing drearily acrcss the hilltops, and
to the more cheerful sounds the
crackling fire and champing oxen, I
fell asleep.
Several hours must have passed be-
fore I awoke, and found myself looking
up at a sky covered with thin, fleecy
clouds, through which the waning
moon shone dimly. Raising my head,
1 looked around. The fire had burned
out, for cedar wood does not last long.
Only a few coals were visitle where
the crackling blaze had been.
Being warm and comfortable, 1 did
not trouble myself about thesfire know-
jog that I could rekindle it when wmorn-
ing came. I had relied upon it to keep
the wild animals away; but now that
the moon had risen, I was not much
afraid of wild animals.

Coaly and Lep lying a few yards away,
both chewing their cuds contentedly.
A wolf was howling in the distance;
and a little screech owl was uttering
its peculiar cry somewhere up the
side of the gorge. I was on the point
of falling asleep again when a slight
noise” near me caused me to raise
my head. As 1 did so a low growl froze
y blood:
A yard or two from my feet, on the
other side of where the fire had been,
stood an animal larger than a doz. He
was looking straight at me, evideutly
preparing to attack.
I had never seen a mountain lion
till then, but the instant my eyes rest-
ed upon the animal 1 knew what 1t
was. A chill of horror ran over me as
| I sat there, half paralyzed by- fear.
One saying that 1 had heard from
child was that a mountain lion will
not attack as long as you look it stead-
ily in the eye. Now, being utterly at
the licn’s mercy, 1 had presence of
mind enough, in spite of my terror, to
make the attempt. It was ail I could

mind that I" would make a pala-
table supper, and as he had probably
not eaten for several days, he felt ht-
tle interest in anything else just then.
As for me, although 1 heard the
oxen's movements, 1 did not dare to
turn my eyes away from the lion long
enough to see what they were doing.
But while the beast was hesitating I
heard a low, ree bellow, {ollowed by
a shaking of a tree, as if one of the
oxen was throwing his weight against
the rope that held. him. Then came a
> of hocfs over the rocky
greund, and I turned my head just in
time to see Coaly’s huge figure, black
as midnight, as he rushed by me and
made straight for the lion.
The beast was giving his whole at-
tention to me, and scemed to be taken
by surprise. He uttered a fierce growl
of raze, and then attempted to put him-
self in a defensive attitude; but be-
fore he could do so Coaly was upcn
him. The next .moment the lion, big
2s he was, shot up into the air, toss-

as far as 1 dared to go. Even then
I was only eight or ten feet above the
eround, and I knew the lion could
climb: but I felt comparatively safe,
for the beast was too busy. with other
matters just then to give further at-
tention, to me.
“When he struck the ground, after be-
ing tossed upward, he was in a great
rage. Instead of waiting to be gored
a second time he made a furious dash
at his enemy, intending, I think, to
ight on the ox’s back. But Coaly had
ro thought of permitting anything of
the kind.

several minutes.

I listened intently to learn what they

more of pain than. of defiance, come
back from the direction they had
taken. Each growl was fainter, com-
ing farther up the creek, and from this
1 knew that the liom was not racing at
a good speed. :
While 1 was listening eagerly for
some evidence that the fight had been
renewed, I became aware that every
thinz round me was growing lighter.
Glancing down, I saw with dismay that
my bed was on fire. One of the coals
that had been scattered by the .combat-

I soon kindled another fire of wood

nothing to revive
my fears. Before 1

I was awakened by something push-

to see that it was cnly Coaly. He was

was dangling from his horns. The

again, when 1 made the discovery that

blood. Evidently he had seriously
wounded the lion.
Possibly, I thought, he had killed
him somewhere near by, and I wanted
to make a search in hope of finding
the carcass and securing the skin as a
trophy. But being unarmed, and
knowirz that there was danger of
ming upon a live lion instead of a
dead one, I decided that the risk was
too great.
However, while ‘1 was eating my
breakfast, I thought of an expedient
that enabled me to make the search in
safety. Taking hold of Coaly’'s rope
I'led him after me, and thus protected

the cedars along the creek.
If 1 had found the lion wounded, I
intended to let Cealy finish him. But
the search was not successful, and 1
returned to the camp, put the oxen to
the wagon, and proceeded on my way.

A correspondent points out, apropos
cf Miss Badsson’s protest as to the
submerging of woman's name in mar-

name. This is still true in many of
the country districts, and also among
the fisher people; and a woman is
still cited in a court of law by her
maiden name in addition to her mar-
ried name, thus, “Mary Graham (or
Knox).” But then in Scotland a wo-

England, especially in the matter of

THE “YELL-OH" MAN
And One of Iiis Ways.
»
To call a man a liar seems rude, So
we will let the reader select his own
term.
Some time ago the Manager of
“Collier's Weekly” got very cross
with us because we would not con-
tinue to advertise in his paper.
We have occasionally been at-
tacked by editors who have tried to
force us to advertise in their papers
at theirfoWsiifitices, and, on their own
conditions, failing in which we were
to be attacked through their editorial
columns. The reader can fit a name
to that tribe.
We had understood that the editor
of “Collier's” was a wild cat of the
Sinclair “jungle bungle” type, a per-
son with curdled gray matter; but it
seems strange that the owners would
descend to using their editorial col-
umng, yellow as they are, for such
rank out and out falsehoods as ap-
pesr in their issue of July 27th,
where the editor goes out of his way
to attack us, and the reason will ap-
pear tolerably clear to any reader
vho understands the venom behind it.
We quote in part as follows: —
“One widely circulated paragraph
labors to induce the impression that
Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity
of an operation in appendicitis. This
is lying, and, potentially, deadly ly-
{fng. Similarly, Postum continually
makes reference to the endorsements
of a ‘distinguished physician’ or ‘&
prominent health official,’ persons as
mythical, doubtless, as they are mys-
terious.”
We do not hesitate to reproduce
these mendacious falsehoods in order
that it may be made clear to the pub-
lic what the 1acts are, and to nail the
liar up so that people may have a look
at him. If this poor clown Lnew
what produced appendicitis, he might
have some knowledge of why the use
of Grape-Nuts would prevent it. Let
it be understood that appendicitis
results from long continued disturb-
ance in the intestines, caused primar-
fly by undigested food, and chiefly by
undigested starchy food, such: as
white bread, potatoes, rice, partly
cooked cerealg, and such. These lie
in the warmth and moisture of the
bowels in an undigested state, and
decay, generating gases, and irritat-
ing the mucous surfaces until, under
such conditions, the lower part of the
colon and the appendix become in-
volved. Disease sets up, and fre-
quently, of a form known as appendi-
citis.
Now then, Grape-Nuts food was
made by Mr. C. W. Post, after he had
an attack of appendicitis, and re-
quired some food in which the starchy
was predigested. No such food ex-
isted; from his knowledge of dietetics
he perfected the food; made it pri-
marily for his own use, and after-
wards introduced it to the public. In
this food the starch is transformed
