Montana, Tho I.inrs' Club met in tholr jKilnliitl rooms', says tho Helena In dependent, and nftcr the imial pro limlnaries, selected the liar to tell tho next story. IIo braced him self up with a few jiygora ot lino old iiourboti, and reclining upon un elegant divan, spun out tho fol lowing tale: "Years ago I was mining in n gulch beyond tho Missouri river. I had a hard timo of it getting my initio opened nntl lived for ii week nt n timo on beans straight, with out salt. Hut I did linally sue cccd. After mouths and mouths of hard and continuous labor I struck bedrock and fet my sluices. ' The first day's run I took out $!,- 750 in bricht, clean fohldtist, niu nftcr thnt everything was smooth snilini'. Poverty add hard work were relegated to the past. I rev eled in wealth nnd enjoyed myself as only tlio old placer miners know how. There was not n daneb nor torso race of any kind for miles around that 1 ditl r.ot attend. thought of getting married, but trirls wore so scarce I could not catch on. Money seemed to bo the least consideration with them Any young man with a handsomo t , i - ii nico una mi onmmnu arouim ins neck could'hold his own with tho wealthiest old bach, to be found my where Hut I got stuck on a girl who lived down tho gulch about a inilo below me. She was just too sweet for any use. Talk about your red wagons and pump kin blossoms! Wen L was terri bly cone. I used to meet her in thu evening aud walk about tho iillsulcs ami gather bluebells and snowilowers and sprigs of cedar nnd spruco for bequets, which she would carry homo and tnko as much care of as anything. 'It was iu tho evening and about tho time wp usually meet iu tho road, between my claim and tor father's. The sun had 6iink i .1 tii. l.i down ociiuid mo inns ami tno gulch was itshudow, but it was at east an hour till dark. 1 II never forgot how gay 1 felt that ovoiuug as l walked urisKiy along, wmi tend erect and confident mien. Tho odor of tho pines I can smell nt this moment and see tho picture of Avalanche gulch us plainly as 1 can seo tins company. "Tho Girl s name was bantu Sho usually woro u red sash about icr waist, and I could often rccog nizo her quite a distance away as sho would in and out along tlio crooked trail. On this ovening for some perverso reason, I deter mined to wait and let her como further up the gulch than usual. rom u slight oiiiincnco 1 watched tlio trail till I saw her pass a point of view J100 yurds away, and their lastuned to meet her. Detween us was n natch of willows nnd pines, through which tho trail ran. A ilcasnnt brcczo was blowing up the gillch and a more deleghtftil ovciilngI never 6aw. A few moro steps and 1 would meet Sarah, thu npplo of my eyo ami the delight of my existence. A sudden turn iu tho trail ami we were face to face. Sho hud stopped and was standing lorfectly still, her eyes riveted on an object about midway botween us, 1 took in the situation at a glauco at a glance. Surah's face was as pale us a Ducket ot milk iu litidow. Jler nanus were clasped upon her breast nnd I thought I could sec her tremble. Tho object that had stricken terror to tho heart of this sweet young girl was crouched in tho path, Its tail was gentlytswceping from sitlo to side Uku n cat watching its proy. 1 recognized tho animal at once. It , ... . 11... (Id inwimnfMi , largest I ever saw. "VY" do? Tho girl's life wo was a mountain nun, one oi inu What could I as in immi nent danger, for I was certain from tho action of the animal ami tlio nature of the felino tribe tin t upon tho first movement to escape tho lioit would spring upon Sarah, and perhitjia tear her to pieces bo faro I could render any assistance. I hud no weapon, not. oven .a jack- knife. Thu lion had been so in tensely absorbed in watching the I thorn, hut Sarah has been as com young girl that it had not ncflccd J pletoly lo.t to mo it if she had my iipprouuh, nnd Sarah did not appear to soo inc. I consider my. self :u bnivo as any man iu actual danger, hut thtit sight simply par nlyxrd me. I did tho first thing thnt ontorod my mind, I turned nnisclussly tidout nnd ran with tho swiftuoss of n dcor (o my cabin up tho gulch after my rifle. .Reach ing the enhin I rtislieJl in like n tnudmml. . The miners," who were just 6ilting down to supjier, thought I was crazy, and my ap pearance uiiLst have Imjcii very startling, to My tho least. I sciz". od tho woaplip from its rack tijion tho vnftor fi'ipl ran back us fust m 1 had gone. ' I couldn't Imvo been more than three minutes iu making thu trip, yet it scorned liku an hour. Hut in that three niiinitos events oc curred that settled me into the cynical oldr"b:iehulor you seo before you. . r ' Hie lion was still crouched in the same position in.which I left it. Tho girl was nowhere to bo scon. I raised myself, and with nervous haste fired at the bride's head. . J., w.as in ml, Condition to hit a barn door at twenty paces at that moment. Hut my anxiety for Sarah was groat. Tho lion never moved. I had oito of the C0-cnli-bcr ueedlo guns that would tear a holo through, a" bulbilo as big as. your fist. I (hrcw out the empty shell aud put in n fresh cartridge This tftiic I made sure of my aim by resting my emu against 'the tree . 1 took delibundu nim nnd icld low, for fear of overshooting, ....I t. ' I .1. . . r '. . l.i !UH Had U1U SUUSlUCUOIl Ol UIOW- iug tho top of the animals head oft. Imtigino my surprise at that iiip ment to hear tt rippling peal of laughter and a loud guffaw from a clump of trees not twenty feet away. I realized- in a moment that I had been made the victim of n practical joke. ;' Tho-girl, my girl, -my Sarah, had deliberately planned with sompof the' boys 'in the gulch to make, mo ridiculous and wound my pride ami sensibil ities, which were very great. My heart was soroly wounded and 1 turnud nmjeiiticnlly 'about, pa!o with anger, and stalked oft to my CUUlll. . It was some time before I learn ed exactly how tho trick, had been iluycd. Ono Sunday, morning 1 ay apparently' dozing in my bunk and overheard thu incr. relate tho circumstances connected with the only tragedy of my life It seems that some of the l(oys down the gulch had become jealous of my attentions to Sarah nnd resolved in some lmiuuur to give me a set back. A mountain ton had been prowling around tho camp the wintur before and was shot one morning while iu the act of taking a quartor of beef from tho comer or a cabin whero it was hanging. It had been carefully skinned and stuffed iu lunanner to maku it ap pear very lifelike, thoy placed it on tho trail in position where 1 shot it, nnd-by moans of thread attached to its tail, with men con cealed iu the willows on either side of the trail to null the threads they had no difliculty iu whisking its tail from Bide to side. I wouldn't have cured if Sarah hadn't been in tho plot. Hut that thought made me furious. To think that she , W.oll to make a long sto ry as short as possible, 1 sulked awhile and rejected every effort at reconciliation, finally sold out and took a trip to the Kust mid was gono a your. Hut 1 uover forgot iui-idi. She was in my mind con tinually, and i rosolved to return and mako it all up. i came back to Helena and hurried across to Avuluiiunu as fast as a good horse could carry me i went to the cabin full of hope and pleasant an ticipation. A great deal of cloth ing was hanging out to dry, and as t got near oiioitgh i saw that tho placo had been turned into a Chi- it 11.1 iicso wasu-iiouse i ukkcu tno Chinnmou if they knew whero the icople had gone who woro there uforo thoin, "No sabol" was tho only roply i could got. Further inquiry revonled the met that ba rah and her parents had left tho ulcli six months bef6rc, and no oily know whore they had gone, searched ovorywhure and snout thousands of dollar trying to liud been swallowed tin in lite son. I don't think i shall over lihd her," nnd the ejHMtkpr ' heaved n deep sigh and lit a fresh cigar. . 1 xa-4frw The OxenPn iPacW?. ' Zr :v u : lli!iSttcinun.
