"I started out this mornin' hatin' the ground you walked on, but now I see that they ain't no use to hate you. Is they any use hatin' a mountain-lion that kills calves? No, you don't hate it, but you get a gun and trail it and shoot it down. And that's the way with you." They heard the scratch of his match. "That's the way with you.
"What are a cougar and a silvertip?" "Cougar means mountain-lion or panther, an' a silvertip is a grizzly bear." "Oh, they're all cruel!" exclaimed Helen, shrinking. "I reckon. Often I've shot wolves for relayin' a deer." "What's that?" "Sometimes two or more wolves will run a deer, an' while one of them rests the other will drive the deer around to his pardner, who'll, take up the chase.
His voice was swept up into the roar of rage which had given him his name of the old mountain-lion of the north. He came stepping over poor Barbee's body, thrusting by Steve, towering over the door of the cave. "Hold back," commanded Steve queerly. "He's in there. But he's got it on us. We've got to promise to let him go!"
"Bears are harmless if you let 'em alone," she said, "and the mountain-lion is a great big bluff. He won't fight, you can't make him fight; but the mother lion will. She's dangerous when she has cubs most animals are. I was out hunting grouse one day with a little twenty-two rifle, when all at once, as I looked up along a rocky point I was crossing, I saw a mountain-lion looking at me.
She sprang to her feet, she jerked up her rifle and fired at the black bulk crawling upward in the pine. "It shall not have Mark's meat! It shall not!" At the first shot the mountain-lion dropped through crashing branches. She had shot it she had driven a bullet through its heart. God had heard her. That was her first wild thought.
I got my back to you right now because if I looked you in the eye I couldn't let you live no more'n I could let a mountain-lion live. I know you're faster with your gun than I am and stronger than I am, and made to fight. But I know I'm going to kill you. You've done your work you've left hell on all sides of you it's your time to die. I know it!
Most of them deal with the same subjects, differing only in immaterial particulars. Instead of squirrels in the timber, the Blackfeet are sure they were prairie-dogs that OLD-man roasted that time when he made the mountain-lion long and lean.
I thought she appears to me honorably er undisturbed," ventured the seamstress, with one swift upward look of interest. "Yes, she appears, many of us appear, but can she be happy? That is what I wish to know. The creature she is being forced to marry is more like a mountain-lion than a man!" "Ma-a-a! Is he dangerous? Will he bite her?" questioned the other, hopefully.
A herd of deer lifted their horns against the horizon, then suddenly bounded away, racing like shadows toward the lowlands of Red River. On the domelike summit of Mount Welsh, a mile away, a mountain-lion showed his sinuous form against the sky seven hundred feet in air.
It must be the long tail of a panther who was crouching for a leap, but I could not distinguish a body back of the foliage of the tree. "The beaver stood uncertain of action for a moment, and as he turned to dive again to safety, the mountain-lion sprang. At the same instant, father pulled the trigger.
