Brighty Of The Grand Canyon This book preview is from another edition of this book. As the summer days passed, Brighty became Uncle Jims steady companion in all his work. By and by he actually went on lion hunts. One cool, bracing morning in late July the very air seemed charged with expectancy. A heavy dew had drenched the earth, and lion scent promised to be sharp and clean. Everyone was eager to be off, Uncle Jim and his hounds and Brighty and the mules. But most excited of all were the special guests, President Theodore Roosevelt and his towheaded son, Quentin. They had come all the way from the capital city for Quentins first cougar hunt. Just as gray dawn gave way to sunrise, the party took off. Brighty alone wore a warning bell, as he was the only animal young and tender enough for lions to attack. Ah! the President exclaimed as the company jog-trotted out of Uncle Jims meadow. This is the way to live. Close to earth and sky. Then he chuckled. With a dash of danger to give it spice! There was no need for answer. Everyone was feeling the bigness of the morning -- hounds whiffing and carrying their tails well up, pack mules stepping out on a slack rope, and Brighty capering in the dew, as if this were the morning of the world. For a mile or so they wound through the forest toward the canyon rim, and as the trees gave way to thicket the youngest hound began yipping and running in circles. Quentin cantered up alongside Uncle Jim. Lion? Nope, snorted Uncle Jim.
