John S. Parker, a young man from
Boston, who is camping at Rocky
pond, in Chittenden, had a hair-rais
ing experience not long ago while
traveling from camp to this village,
where he came to see some friend. The
experience was so strenuous that for a
time it was weared the boy’s mind
would give way.
Parker left camp at daylight with
the intention of making Bridgewater
that night and continuing the next day
to his destination. He had with him a
fish rod. basket, a small revolver and
enough food for his luncheon. While
he could have gone the entire distance
by road by striking the Ottaqueechre
valley at Pittsfield, he chose a shorter
way through the mountains and head
ed for the Deer's leap, a crest of rock
that falls in a sheer precipice to the
Rutland and Woodstock stage road at
the summit of the Green mountain
range.
This precipice is 1.000 feet high, and
while from the road the face of the
rock appears as smoth as the blade of
a knife, Parker knew that it could be
easily descended by means of a se
ries of narrow ledges. The top 4s

Has I.uclc With Trout.
When about half way to the Deer’s
leap Parker stopped to fish dn a brook
that runs Into the Ottaqueechee and
had such good luck that he soon filled
his basket with trout. He then went
on, keeping to an . old blazed trail he
traveled several times last summer,
and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon was
within a mile of the crest of the leap.
He was sitting down on a stump in the
dense forest to rest when he heard a
dried stick crack and thought he
caught a glimpse of some animal In
the heavy underbrush. Thenc was no
further disturbance, however, and
after a time he went on.
At the top of the leap he again sat
down. He was about ready to begin
the hazardous descent when he noticed
several bubbles of spruce gum In a
seam of a spruce about five feet back
from the face of the rewk. He Imme
diately determined to gather the val
uable stuff, and laying his fish basket
and revolver at the foot of the tree,
shinned up. He had no trouble getting
the gum. and when he had finished he
paused a moment to take In the gran

Far below him stretched the stage

elusive branches as a drowning man
grasps at a straw. The tree, but two
inches in diameter at the base, bent
out Into space with his weight; the
roots, insecure in the thin soil cover
ing the rocks, creaked, snapped and
stretched with the strain, and the
sturdy little tree drooped steadily until
it lay out horizontally over the ghast
ly space below.
Parker was so paralyzed with fear
that he shut his eyes clasped the
branches in a deathlike grip, and re
mained motionless for several mo
ments. .
“My head swam so that everything
was blurred for a time,” said the boy,
in telling the story. “I didn’t dare
look down, and if I had wanted to I
couldn’t, for the animal had a sort of
fascination for me The tree had stop

“The cubs ate up the fish while the
old lynx guarded me, and then they
tore the basket to shreds, played with
the revolver like kittens until they had
poked It over the precipice, and finally
crawled under a bush and went to
sleep. At this the mother lynx retreat
ed about forty feet and lay down with
her nose between her paws. When
ever I moved she would growl, so I
kept pretty still. At the end of an
hour 1 got some of my nerve back and
looked down. It almost made me sick,
and the feeling of my legs was some
thing awful. But I kept at It and saw
two teams go over. I cried out, but
I suppose I couldn't force my voice
down, for the driver paid no attention.
“At 4 o’clock, as I was beginning to
be ciamped, black clouds began to ob
scure the sun and the wind oarne up.
Then I realized that I was in for a
thunderstorm and I beoame paJ-.lo
stricken. As the wind rose I lay as
flat as I could, and the lynx crawled
over to the shelter of a big spruce.
Soon the rain commenced to fall In
torrents, the lightning played In
flashes all about the rock and the tree
trembled, shook and swayed from side
to side with the terrific crashes of
thunder.

“The lynx howled and gathered her
young to her, and I Just lay there
waiting for a horrible death. My eyes
were closed tight and my teeth were
clinched when there was a frightful
flash of lightning, followed Instantly
by a terrific peal of thunder. The
ground shook with the vibration. I
l’elt the tree settle and the rocks shud
der with the blow as some monarch of
the forest went down. I heard the
wail of one of the kittens and then
all was still save for the downpour
of the rain.
"Somehow I mustered courage to
open my eyes. In front of me, where
the tree which had sheltered the lynx
family had stood, was a mass of pul
verized rock. Twenty feet to the right
was the blackened and singed body
of one cub. The other was running
around In a elide dazed. There was
nothing to be seen of the mother, ex
