The BL Lac Object 1ES 1426+428, at a red-shift of $z=0.129$, has been monitored by the Cat telescope from February 1998 to June 2000. The accumulation of 26 h of observations shows a γ -ray signal of 321 events above $250\:{\rm GeV}$ at 5.2 standard deviations, determined using data analysis cuts adapted to a weak, steep-spectrum source. The source emission has an average flux of \${\Phi}_{\rm diff}({400\:{\rm GeV}})=6.73\pm1.27^{\rm stat}\pm1.45^{\rm syst}\times10^{-11}\:{\rm cm^{-2}\:s^{-1…
