The "yellow-maned," for there is considerable variety in the colour of the Cape lions is regarded as possessing less courage; but there is some doubt about the truth of this. The young "black-manes" may often be mistaken for the true yellow variety, and their character ascribed to him to his prejudice, for the swarthy colour of the mane only comes after the lion is many years of age.
He was a Mammon King, he had made the Mammon Creek strike; he was an old sour dough, one of the oldest pioneers in the land men turned to look at him when he went by, and said to one another in awed undertones, 'There goes Dave Walsh. And why not? He stood six feet four; he had yellow hair himself that curled on his neck; and he was a bull a yellow-maned bull just turned thirty-one.
"When he was quite sure that the victory was his own, the yellow-maned lion loosed his grip and sniffed at the fallen foe. Then he licked the dead lion's eye, and next, with his fore-feet resting on the carcass, sent up his own chant of victory, that went rolling and pealing down the dark paths of the night.

Oh, yes, indeed, sir, she detests me and quite naturally. You see, we were girls together, she's six months my junior, and has never let me forget it, and the Duke God rest him admired us both, and, well, I married him. And so Cleone has actually refused poor Jerningham, the yellow-maned minx!" "Why, then you didn't know of it?" inquired Barnabas. "Oh, Innocent! of course I didn't.
