But, as the animal increases in size, the spots fade away, and, when it has attained its perfect development, are altogether lost in the unil'orm tawny hue of the fuv. Until it has learned from paiid'ul experience a wholesome h ar of man, the Puma is apt to be a dangerous neighbour. It is known to track human beings through long distances, awaiting an opportunity of springing iinobservedly upon a heedless passer-by. A well- known traveller in Anu'rican forest lands told me candidly, that he always ran away from "Grizzlys, " j'.c. grizzly bear.s, but that " Painters were of no account." He said that as long as a *^raveller could keep a Puma in sight, he need fear no danger from the animal, for that'it wonld not lea]) npon him as long as its movements were watched. Evcui in those rare instances where, the Puma, urged by tierce Inuiger, issued boldly from the dark leafage of the woods, and venture(l to track the very ])athway that was trodden by the travellers, there was yet no real danger. The Puma would creep rapidly towards the party, and would, in a short time, a])])roach sufliciently near to make its fatal spring. But if one of the travellers faced sharply on the crawling animal, and looked it full in the face, the lieast was discondiled at once, and slowly retieatcd, moving its head from side to side, as if trying to shake oii'tlie inlluence of that calm steady gaze to which it had never l)een accustomed, and which was a positive terror to the rapacious animal. A caged leopard has dis[ilayed a sinular uneasiness at a ti.xed gaze of a , s])ectator, ami has finally been so quelled that in its restless walk it dared not turn its face towards its persecutor.
