For the mailer of that the moat extraora dioary .porting Bory I ever beard wa. , told by— of all men in the word — a hare- * hunter, who capped therewith a anake v and elephant narrative, quite unique of its « kind. * Presently a short silence, cauted by the J uncorking and tasting of a new bottle of l. Hermitage, wai broken by the eldest of the party, who bad not aaid much before, f- He waa a good looking man of fifty, with - beard grayer than bia bead, and a merry twinkle in bia eye. What be .aid I shall repeat, for the take of clearness, in the' * Brat person, JoM a. he told the story himself: * "The adrenture of which I am going to i. tell you, genltaneo, happened to me a * good many years ago.

"The heavy Jerk nearly brought the i boree down, but the throat-lalch broke, i the bridle waa pulled over fcla ears, and I ' recovering himsrlf, be darted away among i a grove of trees that stood by the wayride. ' "So intent waa the lioo on the horee I that he paid no attention to me lying tk- : fenceless before him. "Crawling awiflly along Ihe ground, !.<■ t pursued Marengo, whom I gave up for 1 lost— for his chance against the lithe brute t j among the trees seemed hopeless. ( | "However, as luck would have it. there t waa an open apace about a doren yard* < \ across. In the centre of U.ia Marengo took t : j bia stand with bia tail toward the lioo. and 1 j hi* bead turned sharply bade orer his 1 shoulder, watching him. "He stood quite still, except for the I alight shifting of Ida hind feet and lifting I j of hit quarters, which I knew meant mis- • I chief. I "The lion probably thought so, too, for 1 j he kept dodging to try and take hi* oppo- i { ncnt by a flank movement. But the old I ] borse knew his game, aad pivoting on his » j foreleg., brought atlU his stern guns to bear 1 on the enemy. "Soon, with a roar, the lion made bis ■ j rpriug, but Marengo lariied oat both heel. | together with such excellent Judgment of ! ! i me "and distance that, catching him fuli r | in the cheat, he knocked him all of a heap m ' ! the ground, where he lay motionless.
