BOBBY LYNX OF ROUND-TOP 79 
Bobby could not know that the other lynx 
was even more badly scared, for never had 
he been so badly slashed and torn before! 
The Stranger Lynx was even now licking 
his wounds down in the marsh, so badly 
hurt that it was all he could do to creep 
and crawl away to his home on the other 
side of the Ridge! And he was very glad 
and thankful that this bold, young war¬ 
rior lynx of Round-Top had not pounced 
down on him and made an end of him as 
he lay at the root of the rock! 
It was surely too bad that Bobby could 
not know this as he lay suffering in the 
cave. How long he stayed there, he did 
not know, but twice the sun had peeked in 
through the cracks of the cave and twice 
had the moon sent golden streaks down 
on the floor before he was able to crawl 
out! And he only went then because it 
seemed to him that he had never wanted a 
drink of water so badly in all his life!
