We were crossing another glade, when Gringalet suddenly rushed between our legs. On looking back, I saw the puma slyly following us. "Well, upon my word!" said Sumichrast; "does this fellow want to prove that a cougar will attack a man?" L'Encuerado, who had put down his load, was already aiming at the animal. "Don't shoot!"
