sometimes fell to decdrotlng the jlghrntngaoarred trees and fallen logs about my camp the other cowmen called my at- tontlon to this weakness by roughshod ojjd well token jests and have evor since called me clover leaf johnson as this name was also given to dis tinguish me from my neatest neighbor whom they called cattle thief john son did not in the least object to the title some or my jocular friends de clared i- put several brands on each calf although this i denied emphat- ically before returning to the foot hills that fall however i did go to just such an extreme of art for arts sake under conditions that were some what unusual the cattle i was running were al lowed to roam at will over the mount ains and my principal business after getting them haunted was to keep the saltlicks filled and look out for animals that were sick or crlppjed late one evening i found a cow and a steer that eeem to have hoen lorn by some wild animal and with tho in tention of treating their wounds thq next day i ran them into a coral that had been bunt near a iuge oak tree under which l camped before- dawn the next morning i waa busy cooking breakfast when a pitiful bawling arose from joe coral thinking that one of the cow brutes waa goring the other i seised my brandingiron which happened to be the only weapon near at hand and rushed to the rescue i could not sea what was happen ng loslds

ordinarily i am not a scarewit but on this occasion i certainly attempted a backward leap from a foundation of light mountain air and in conse quence landed flat on my back with arms and legs sprawling lay plight demanded action swift and strong for the moment i hit the ground the grlxxlytnade for me with just as much upahdover hop as a spider executes when jumping a fly just how i evaded his charge i could nevar say i know only that i got out of the coral quickly and with the bear dose behtnd raced for my lona oak the lower limbs of this old giant branched some are or six feet above my hood and the great girth pf the trunk offered little hopa of ascent by the shining proceae s khould have certainly have become meat for tho grlsxlyhad itoot been for the brand ing iron which i nod

although falling back jnto an awkward heap from his first spring at my receding legs seemed un willing to- admit that he was not a trescllmber and spreading himself out like a tjytns squirrel against the broad trunk he dug his huge claws into the rough bark and began lnchlng hls way upward the tree leaned from the dtreotlqn of the prevailing winds and this with the bears great seal and strenuous application gave some promise of his attaining his umbltlon in spite of- natural disadvantages he became quite encouraged over his prospects but when he had climbed a conpleof feet t reached dowrt and hit him a otout over the head with the handhold of my iron the stout rod rebounded from the blow aa if the old feuowa hldeoyere mode of indiarubber but a sharp point at he tapering end the other i
