ATTACKED BY A BUFFALO.
How Sir Samuel Baker Saved the Life of
Fellow Hunter.

Sir Samuel w. Baker in his latest book,
"Wild Beasts and Their WAYS" narrates
An adventure which shows that hunters
life NAV depend upon his attention to
small details. Sir Samuel and Mr.. Dick
were shooting in Africa when they saw a
solitary bull buffalo on the opposite side
of a small creek. The bull was evidently
in state of great excitement, for as the
hunters drew near the creek he faced
them. tore up the turf with his horns, and
looked down the perpendicular, bank,
twelve feet high, as though meditatlng
descent. ,
Dick. who carried a little rifle, single
barrel which shot a small spherical ball,
had by Sir Samueps advice doubled his
charge of powder,

his companion, throwing hard clod of
earth so that it fell into the water at the
foot of the bank. The splash caused the
animal to look down, exposing mis- neck.

round and fell upon his side.

CHAPTER VIII.

On the day of our appointment for dinner
at Mr.. Paddington's the newspapers were
filled with accounts Of a sensational bank
robbery, which had occurred in Wall
street the night before. Between mid
night and o'clock in the morning thieves
had entered the Metropolitan Bank, over
vaults, and stolen half million dollars in
currency without leaving any clew behind
them of TIE slightest value to the police.
The subject interested Rayel intensely and
at our breakfast that morning we talked OF
little else.

what will they do with them?n he asked.

"And yet these thieves were not in
prison. They could not have robbed the
bank if they had been in prison."

claim our attention. The subject which Il
introduces was not soon abandoned. We
