Henry pushed his wheel to the top of the mountain, and forgot all about the cat. The road be-fcy-e him lay steep and hard, and be was soon' whizzing down the incline.

The rider had progressed a quarter of a mile when an animal sprang from th'3 bushes at the aide of tho road and with a screech bounded out in plain view not ten feet before him. Henry l3n't much of a woodsman, but he had seen Canadfan lynxes iu the zoo at home, and the sight of one in this lonesome spot so unnerved him that he tumbled off his wheel.
