There site sat and trembled while the wounds were being dressed. Annt Fanny bustled back and forth, flrat unceremoniously pushing her way through the circle of men to take observations and then reporting to the Impatient girl. The storm had passed, and the night waa till except for the rush of the rirer. Raindrop fell now and then from the trees, glistening like diamonds as they touched the light from the caverns mouth. It was all very dreary, uncanny and oppressive to poor Beverly.

With the flrat lull in the war of the element Beverly gave utterance to the thought that long had been struggling for release. Why do you wear that horrid black patch over your eye?" she asked, a trifle timidly. He muttered a sharp exclamation and clapped hla band to hla eye.

Then there came an angrier sound, unlike any that had gone before In that night of turmoil. Look there! Quick! The cry of terror from the girls palsied lips as she pointed to something behind him awoke the mountain man to Instant action. Instinctively he snatched bis long dagger from Its heath and turned quickly. Not twenty feet from them a huge catlike beast stood half crouched on the edge of the darkness, hla lung tail switching angrily. The feeble light from the depth of the cave threw the long, water soaked visitor into bold relief against the Mack wall beyond. Apparently he waa as much surprised as the two who glared at him, aa though frosea to the spot. A snarling whins, a fierce growl. Indicated hla fury at finding hla shelter, hla lair, occupied. My God! A mountain llou! Fran! Te me! he cried hoarsely, and sprang before her shouting loudly to the sleepers. A score of men, half awake, grasped their weapoua and struggled to their feet in answer to hla call The lion's gaunt body shot through the air. In two boueda he waa upon the goat hunter. Baldoa stood squarely and firmly to meet the rush of the maddened beast, hla long dagger poised for the death dealing blow. Bun!" he shouted to her. Beverly Calhoun had fighting blood in her veins. Utterly unconscious of her action at the time, she quickly drew the little silver haudlfd revolver from the pocket of her gown. As man, beast and knife came together, la her excitement she fired recklessly at the combatants without any thought of the Imminent dinger of killing her protector. There waa a wild scream of pain from the wounded beast, more pistol ahotn, fierce yella from the excited banters, the rush of feet, and then the terrified and almost frantic girt staggered and fell against the rocky wall Her wide gray eyea were fastened upon the writhing lion, and the smoking pistol waa tightly clutched la her hand.
