the other females were kept cot Of her
sight. Bat if one of them approached,
up vent her trunk, and, With shrill
trumpet, down she charged upon her
rival.
Her calf accompanied its mother on
the hunt, q nd was the cause Of much
vsxaiion Of spirit. Ii the attendant held
him in by cord, he squealed. II left
to himself, he wandered Of, and then his
mamma would rush after him.
Losing all patience, the doctor ordered
the attendant to tie the little one to the
mothers neck. Just then, one OF the
signal men, perched in tree. telegraphed
with his hands that the tiger was stealing
along the ravine.
The mahout urged the elephant on.
Advancing ten PAGES, she came to q halt.
Pushing her calf under her chest she
curled her trunk defiantly, and, 10 spite
of the blows and abuse of the mahOut,
would not bulge an inch.
The doctor, frantic at the idea, of
tiger walking of, almost under his nose,
and he not getting shot, beat the ma
bout with the butt of his gun. The ma
bout beat the elephant, but not foot
would the obstinate beast move.
"Let 20 the calf" shouted the doctor
to the attendant. The native united the
cord which bound the little fellow to his
mothers neck. With few capers, he
toddled off to the edge of the ravine and
tunbled in, head foremost.
With a shrill trumpet the mother
rushed after the offspring. Somehow,
she got to the bottom Of the ravine.
How, the doctor never knew.
He lost his gun, bis hat, and his tenn
per. He was pitched to one end Of the
howdsh, knocked against its sides, and
whipped in the face BY the bambooe,
through which the anxious mother rushed
after her hayward child. !.
He, needless of the, excitement he ha0
created, gsmboled ahead, a. playful q q
kitten chasing ball Of yarn. Up slop-
ing mound he tottled, and, being out OF
breath, he was caught BY his mother.
For a minute or two, the elephant and
calf stopped to breathe, and the doctor to
recover his temper.
At the opposite side Of the mound was
perpendicular descent of fifteen feet.
Suddenly the calf marched to the edge,
aud foped over on bis back. Falling on
the sandy bed of the ravine, he was unin-
jured, and the mother, though still anxi-
Gus, remained quiet.
Just then, another female elephant
came in sight, on the opposite bank Of
the ravine. OF course, the calf tried to
climb up the bank to her.
That was too much for the jealous
mother. With shrill trumpet, she
rushed to the edge of the mound. The
mahout, knowing the danger, drove the
sharp steel hook, used in driving, deep
into her head.
The pain caused her to halt. Falling
on her knees, with her head over the
precipice, she shook herself violently.
The driver of the other elephant, see-
ing the cause of the excitement, drove
her away. The attendant rushed up and
secured the calf. Thea the mother rose
from her knees, and, backing from the
edge, suffered the frightened doctor to dis
mount. He vowed be would walk homo,
before he would mount that jealous brute
again.
The tiger was wounded by long shot
from one of the officers, but escaped into
the jungle.

telling his adventure to friend, ut was
