exchange tells a story of two men who
were working a claim in the remote
mountain regions of Colorado, and
shortly before the cold weather set in
went to town to get supplies It begam
to snow before they could get back. and
it was a week later when thee reached
the cabin. As they came in sight of
it, they saw that the window was open,
and reproached themselves for their
carelessness, as the cabin would probably
be full of snow. One of them went
to the window, and had 1ust put his
head inside when a huge mountain lion
sprang on his shoulder from its concealment
inside. The other man was
opening the dec'r, aInd when he saw theperil of his companion, vras afraid to
shoot. For one awful minute the 1ton
stood on his victim, growling and sp tting
defiance, and then, with a Iell,
sprang into the buG'hes near by. Both
men then fired at the beast, but their
nerves were unsteady, and it made i's
escape Apait 'from a torn coat, no
damage was done to the man, but he
fully realized how near he had been to
death. It is safe to say that the miners
took care after that to see that the window
fastenings were secui e
