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 thi.s lion, which wag the one that escaped with our col- lar. This time he climbed as high as he could, but I followed and caught him with the wire.

To the "tenderfoot" a mountain lion scarcely seems to be a beast that one can afford to be faneiliar with, but among hunters who know his traits there are some at least who hold him in scorn. One such is Mr. M. H. Bak- ker who describes in Outdoor Life how he captured four of the big cats for an Eastern "zoo." 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. Be- fore 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 they were on. We travelled as fast as we could 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 came evei^ it took us two or three days. _ At two o'clock the next afternoon we stopped at the top of a mountain to listen, and we could hear the dogs friving tongue about halfway down the other side. In an hour we were down to where the dogs were and found that they had two half-grown lions in large fir trees. They had held them there all night. After we had fetl the dogs Charlie cut me a pole about sixteen feet long, and I went up the tree where the first lion was and put a wire loop round his neck and chained him to a big pine tree, just as you would tie a dog. Then we went to the tree. where the dogs had the other lion; but just as I was near enough to put the wire noose round his neck, he got uneasy, and down the tree he came. Away he went with the dogs at his heels. After running about seven hunilred rods the dogs treed him, and I tried the same tactics again. This time he was not so spry, and I put the wire round his neck. We tied him also to a tree. That night we stayed at a ranch house, and at daylight the next morn- ing went back to where we had tied the last lion. We found that he had broken the chain near the collar and escaped. When we turned the dogs loose on his track they led up the mountain to a deer carcass, where we found the tracks of two other lions. Pretty soon the dogs barked "treed," and we captured another lion, which we took down and tied in the barn at the ranch, because the day had turned snowy. The next day we returned to the place where the lion.'s had killed the deer and found two sets of tracks in the snow- -one leading up the moun- bed them of a great victory on Fri- 'y saUsfactory for my little one."

RHEUMATISM CURED In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers rheumatism was thought 10 be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. Medical science did not understand the troubleâ€" did not know that It was rooted in the blood. It was thought that rheiima'isra was th*- men- effe< t of e.xpcsure to cold and dan.p, and it was treated with liniments and hot appliaarions, which someiinies gave temporary re- lief, but did not cure the trouble. In those days there were thousands of rheumatic cripples. .Vow, medical science understands that rheumalit^m said an English officer, sitting up on hats with both hands, bowed right and ' a stretcher ami speaking wearily.
