Esmeralda
weighed
some
two
hundred
and
eighty
pounds
,
and
her
extreme
haste
,
added
to
her
extreme
corpulency
,
produced
a
most
amazing
result
when
Esmeralda
elected
to
travel
on
all
fours
.
For
a
moment
the
lioness
remained
quiet
with
intense
gaze
directed
upon
the
flitting
Esmeralda
,
whose
goal
appeared
to
be
the
cupboard
,
into
which
she
attempted
to
propel
her
huge
bulk
;
but
as
the
shelves
were
but
nine
or
ten
inches
apart
,
she
only
succeeded
in
getting
her
head
in
;
whereupon
,
with
a
final
screech
,
which
paled
the
jungle
noises
into
insignificance
,
she
fainted
once
again
.
With
the
subsidence
of
Esmeralda
the
lioness
renewed
her
efforts
to
wriggle
her
huge
bulk
through
the
weakening
lattice
.
The
girl
,
standing
pale
and
rigid
against
the
farther
wall
,
sought
with
ever-increasing
terror
for
some
loophole
of
escape
.
Suddenly
her
hand
,
tight-pressed
against
her
bosom
,
felt
the
hard
outline
of
the
revolver
that
Clayton
had
left
with
her
earlier
in
the
day
.
Quickly
she
snatched
it
from
its
hiding-place
,
and
,
leveling
it
full
at
the
lioness
's
face
,
pulled
the
trigger
.
There
was
a
flash
of
flame
,
the
roar
of
the
discharge
,
and
an
answering
roar
of
pain
and
anger
from
the
beast
.
Jane
Porter
saw
the
great
form
disappear
from
the
window
,
and
then
she
,
too
,
fainted
,
the
revolver
falling
at
her
side
.
But
Sabor
was
not
killed
.
The
bullet
had
but
inflicted
a
painful
wound
in
one
of
the
great
shoulders
.
It
was
the
surprise
at
the
blinding
flash
and
the
deafening
roar
that
had
caused
her
hasty
but
temporary
retreat
In
another
instant
she
was
back
at
the
lattice
,
and
with
renewed
fury
was
clawing
at
the
aperture
,
but
with
lessened
effect
,
since
the
wounded
member
was
almost
useless
.
She
saw
her
prey
--
the
two
women
--
lying
senseless
upon
the
floor
.
There
was
no
longer
any
resistance
to
be
overcome
.
Her
meat
lay
before
her
,
and
Sabor
had
only
to
worm
her
way
through
the
lattice
to
claim
it
.
