The report rang out on the still even- ing air, and was instantly followed by a AT CLOSE QUARTERS 63 snarling shriek from the wounded animal, so charged with fury that Raoul instinct- ively pressed his aunt back out of the path. Just as he did so the puma sprang at them, for it was not killed, a slight movement of its head as Raoul fired having caused the bullet to strike too high, and plough through the fur on the fore- head, instead of burying itself in the brain. Raoul's sudden movement caus...ed the brute to fall short, and ere it could gather itself to spring again the boy, clubbing his gun, struck at it with the heavy butt. It was the best thing to be done under the circumstances, and yet, when the maddened catamount, squirming around as if it were made of rubber, caught the stock in its teeth, and tore at the gun with its terrible claws, there seemed small chance of Raoul being able to repeat the blow. Happily this was not necessary on his 64 IN PATHS OF PERIL part, for Madame, who had been perfectly- composed throughout, having picked up a stout stick, came to his assistance, and, with a clever blow delivered just behind the puma's ear, put an end to its existence.
