For nearly an hour she remained there, bathing his head, forcing now and then a little brandy between is teeth. and watching his breathing become more regular. and the ghastly whiteness leaving his face.

In his way he is a great man, and he is planning great things which are not wholly for his advantage. But he is unscrupulous! So long as the end is great. he believes himself justified in steeping to any means." Wolfenden shuddered. " You must not live another day with him," he exclaimed: "you will come to Deringham Hall. My mo- ther will be only too glad to come and fetch you. It is not very cheer- ful there just. now, but anything is better than leaving you with this man." She loode at him curiously.

CUB PLAYED WITH HIS BICYCLE " falls to the lot of but few men to come so near to a violent death and yet escape unharmed as was the case with J. A. Smith. who had been working as a mechanical engineer at the inez. Having finish- ed the work tor which he had been engaged. he left the Knee, intending to cycle into Salisbury. stopping for a couple of days at the Great Bear. He left the latter plzwe tor Gadsima. traveling along the line of railway extension. (on reaching the spot where the line crosses the Umfuii river he found. as the bridge is not yet erected, that he would have to go round by the deviation and cross at the railway drift. This necessitat- ed wading through the river and carrying his bicycle. 0n reaching the level again he put his machine down in order to resume his boots and socks. and, feeling rather fatigued after his exertions, stayed tor a brief rest. While unhying the rest his attention was drawn by a troop of very fine tsable-two magnificent bulls and three cows-making their way up from the other side of the river in the direction of a fringe of forest beyond. Feeling sufficiently refreshed. he picked up his machine, preparatory to starting again for iiadzimn. which he. wished to reach before it became dark. The next mo- ment Mr. Smith received a shock which he will not forget tor many a long day. About titty yards away and slightly to his right were three lions, so intent on stalking the sable that they were not looking in his direction. This arrested the young liun'e " tention, and, like " ehild with a new toy, he turned aside to examine this eurious phenomenon. Coutiously gh- ing it a pat with one of his huge paws, which only made it go round faster, his wonder increased, and he sat down on his haunvhes, regarding it with a puzzled air. and not for some time did he join the parent couple at the font (if the tree. but not until he had mouthed the machine considerably and twisted the handle- bar. During the tenure of his un- pleasant perch Mr. Smith oust many wistful giant-es in the direction of his double-barrelled gun, which was strapped to his bicycle. but it might as well hare been one hundred miles away. He cast his eyes about in order to discover some place of retreat so soon as the lions should retire. and, to his [meat by. some hut some 300 yards away. Just before dark his captors begun to pay less attention to him, and. seeming the sable again in the vicinity. by aid of n. strong breeze, they left after nbout three- quurters of an hour, to the extreme relief oft their unfortunate prisoner. After waiting tor about half an hour, until everything was quiet, he unu- tiously descended, and. not during to co back for his gun, fenrfully made his way to tho hut rderred to, mak- ing quick sprints from tree to tree. There was no roof. and the hut was but a flimsy structure. but. after making the entrance as secure as possible and kindling a big tire he soon dropped of! to sleep. At day- break he was able to resume his Journey. eventually reaching Gadsima and Salisbury, little the worse. be. yond a very natural nervous ialioek for his experience-Rhodesia Herald. The tree, it should be mentioned, was a: small maynndu. about 18 leet high. At first Mr. Smith (-ould not under- stand what hm! becomn of the young lion, which went tor him first, and but tor the tact that. he was not in " position to nppreclatv the humor of the thing, he witnessed a sight which must haveiy‘en comical in the ox- treme, though to it alone he in firmly convinced his lite was dun. n seems that Loo Junior stopped hulf way to examine the bicycle, whirl] had been flung down hastily, with the reault that tho front wheel wun left revolving. It was an awkward position. to my the least. and for a brief space he stood like one petrified. but, al- though hla limbs for a moment were numb, his mind was active enough. The largest of the three was a huge black-waned lion. the second wan a lioness. while the third was an almost full-grown cub. The lat, ter wus the nrst to observe Mr. Smith. and, uttering a low growl, made tor the unhappy man, who, dropping his bicycle, stayed not on the order ot his going. but went tor a, friendly tree mt top speed. He had just time to notice that the parent lions hand started in the wake of their young: hopeful. the sight, as may be imagined, only serving to nmelerutv his pace. The tree was bat a short distance away, but to the hunted it appeared a mile, expecting every wound to be struck down. It was destitute of branches tor about ten feet up.and how he managod to i-limh it at nil will forever remain a mystery to him. Just as he thought himwlf mic. however. there was a terrific roar behind him, and he had an un- canny feeling that he was being dragged off tho trim. The lion. out. utripping his mate in the chasm had made his spring. missing his quarry by n tew inches. only. Even an it was, his huge claws tore away the greater part of Mr. Smith's trousers. and inflicted sever-allur- ly deep tscrtttehotr--a narrow escape indeed. Fhrlututgted and panting, trembling in ovory limb. with the Ix‘rspiration streaming out of him, he managed to draw himself up lulu ooenpartstivo snout-11y. and here for nearly an hour he remained in this dreadful position, whilv the halflnd lion. now joined by the lioness. rum ml below. every now and again making frantic wring». when their fetid breath came so unpleasantly near as to nlznust bring on nausea.
