NothrCis more remarkable in the nat
ur-l history Of modern times than the willing
ness Of the royal tigers Of Bengal to suffer death
at the royal hands Of the Prince Of WALES.
Whenever he went out tiger hunting during his
Last Indian tour, the animals, who ordinarily
give other hunters such terrible examples If
their lghting power, modCstiy presented them
selves TO him, and stood still while he poured
volley after volley into them, as though they
were IA ready TO display their training for the
death rs the Roman gladiators used to he In tho
presence Of the Emperor. Upon the last hunt
OF the Prince. when he went out with a Gordon
Il elephants, the tigers dcmoaned themselves
lihe saints. The first tiger be met was moving.
In an easy canter, over the open ground, some
fifteen or twenty yards On. The tiger raised its
tail, erovlod, and approached the Prince, who
corlly gave II two shots, upon which It ran,
crouohcd, and presented its side, which re-
cetycd another prncely bullet, and then II rolled
halt over, raised itself, and fell dead, with open
jaws and slarng eyes. His Royal Ilighness pro-
ceeded with the work OF slaughter til Ave more
tigers fell under hs hand. Never before bat
once was such bag Of tigers heard Of, and the
Prince Of MALES left India with the honor IF
