der We peeped through our peep-hoiee.
A moment later . blood-curdhng
scream broke the stiffness, followed ~
yell after yell of utter terror. 1t WAS
the wretched pig who had woke to f1nd
himself in the clutches OF the tiger,
and the effect on nerves strained In
silence to their utmost tension was
electrical. I shall never forget that
moment. The tiger was there before
me, he had the pig in his grasp, in an
other second he would probably be
gone. And could see nothing, abso-
lutely nothing. 1t was pitch dark In
the depression where he was
standing, and I might as well
have fired with my eyes shut.
Stare as I would, I could not
distinguish the least thing at which to
aim. And all the time the pig was
yelling loud enough to wake the dead.
Suddenly saw the same black shadow
pass UP the little incline for q dozen
yards. The pigs screams dropped in
to long howl. Ny heart sank. Had
the tiger gone? No, for an instant af-
.erward the shadow shot down the
slope again and the yells broke out
afresh. The situation was agonizing.
I could hardly resist the temptation to
fire both barrels at random into the
darkness. Do see something? Yes,
the black mass of the pig, spinning
head over heels on his ropes like
butterfly on pin. And just above him
q very pale faint curved line of white.
It is the white horseshoe of the tigers
chest, and the inside of his forelegs, as
he has turned for a moment in my
direction. Now or never. A last glance

ranged ourselves for our long watch.
A soft cap instead of the big sun-helmet,
the bottle of cold tea, and the flask put
handy, half dozen cartridges laid out,
the rifle loaded and cooked. The rest
is silence" Till 10 80 we sat like two
stone Buddhas. Then five wild pigs
came trotting down to the wafer to
drink, which was an intensely welcome
break in the monotony. At IL 80 Mitt
made signs to me to 60 to sleep for q
while and he would watch. At 80
he woke me, and Immediately fell back
in his turn fast asleep. The rest, and
the consciousness that had no longer
the sharp eyes of my companion to rely
upon, made me doubly attentive, and I
watched every twig.
Suddenly, in perfect silence and with
out the slightest warning, big black
object flashed by the far side of the
little pool. It was like the swoop past
of an owl in the starlight, like the
shadow of q passing bird, utterly noise
less and instantaneous. Every nerve
in my body was athrill, every muscle
stiff with excitement. Slowly I put
out my left hand and grasped my
sleeping companion hard by the leg.
IF he made the slightest noise we were
lost. Like trained hunter he awoke
and lifted himself into . sitting posi-

another had been killed in more or

St. James, I tumbled with my things

ships sidelights disappeared in the

were on small rising ground, dotted
with bushes, in the middle of rough
tangle of forest and brushwood. I
looked for the "mirador," and, not
finding it, I yelled an inquiry into
Mitt's ear (for he was stone deaf. He
pointed to tree fifty yards away, and
I saw how marvelously he had con-
cealed it. He had chosen two slim
trees growing four feet apart; behind
these he had planted two bamboos at
the other corners of the square, and
then he had led two or three thickly
leaved creepers from the ground, and
wound them in and around and over a
little platform and roof, till he had
made perfect nest of live foliage. The
floor was about twenty feet from the
ground, and it looked perilously
fragile to hold two men. But it was
masterpiece of hunting-craft. In re-

When the rosy day is dying,
And the night comes on apace,
And the evening winds are signing
With wild, enchanting grace,
Oft before my memory's vision
Pass the forms used to know
Faces dear and voices tender
OF the Long Ago.
Faces that the violets cover
On far and lonely tomb,
Lips unkissed by friend or lover
Smile and speak from out the gloom.
But too soon the dream has faded,
Like sweet music in its flow;
