We captured him in the same manner as before. He wasn't a very big one, and so I just put him in my pack sack and carried him down the hill to the place where we had seen the other track. The dogs were only a few minutes treeing this lion, which was the one that escaped with our collar. This time he climbed as high as he could, but I followed and caught him with the wire. We hired a wagon and team and took the four lions to Troy, where we boxed them for shipment to an Eastern "zoo." Made in Canada. WHENCE CAME THE PUSSY CAT?

I had heard, he says, that there were some lions near Troy, Montana; and so Charlie Wood and I bought food enough to last us four or five days, and started out to look for tracks. Finally we found a track two or three days old and set our dogs on it. Before long they were out of hearing, but we followed their trail for about a mile and came to where three other lion tracks joined the one thea^were on. We travelled as -fast as ^Pceuld through the snow, and every time we reached a divide we listened for the dogs, but could hear nothing. We knew that they would never quit until they had every lion up a tree, and that they would hold them there until we i came even it took us two or three At two o'clock the next afternoon we stopped at the top of a mountain to listen, and we could hear the dogs rheumatic giving tongue about halfway down the other side.
