When he reached out a hand toward them they were not in the least afraid. Undoubtedly he was the first man they had ever seen. But at a low, fierce snarl from the door behind him he wheeled swiftly and flashed his light into the round, fierce eyes of the mother lynx, which stood in the dootway in mingled anger and alarm. Warner‘s situation was perilous. He had never known a lynx to attack a man, but the fierce beast thought that her young were in danger, ang he had I&ft his rifle with the cance. For two minutes he remained mot/ionless, holdâ€" in the lynx in the glare of his flash lght The light seemed to daze the animal for the timo being, and Warner began to move one foot cautiously away from the bunk.

That and a dozen other useâ€" less ideas occurred to him in the next fow seconds; and all the time the light was growing weaker. A slight moveâ€" ment from the cubs under the bunk startled him, and only instant presâ€" ence of mind ke(rt him from looking round. If he had turned his eyes, the lynx would have had the chance she was waiting for. He resolved not to be caught off his guard. The table and chair were at his r‘ght, and he cautiously shifted the flashlifiht to his left hand so that the right hand would be free to selze the chair.
