reptile moved more freely, although far
from being yet free from the vise-like
grip of the tiger.
Although deeply interested, was

that monstrous duel; but somehow a

cred, somehow, with a precision that I
never could with elaboration have
achieved, | cut right into the same spot
and reached the vitals, for in another
moment there was a general collapse
OF the great reptile; the tail relaxed its
hold on the bough, and with dull
thump the body fell prone to the earth.
But death was not instantaneous, for
the snake family are tenacious Of life,
and for quite awhile after his fall this
specimen continued to fiutter and vrithe
about most alarmingly. This perform

was relaxed he freed himself, and for an
anxious instant feared that he contem-

inquiring sort of way, and, drawing my
revolver, prepared to give him a warm
reception. But he neither attempted to
modest me nor to emulate the traditional
example of Androclcs' lion and fawn
gracefully on me. For about quarter
of minute those seriously inquisitive
eyes were turned on mine; then, with a
stately lash of his tail, he turned and
leisurely trotted off into the forest
shades, sadder if not much wiser
poacher.
After short hunt I found the settle
ment of an Indian family whose ready
assistance secured. Together we re-
turned to the scene of my adventure
and soon had the solitary product of
my days hunting in shape to be taken
to the camp.

terrible deathstrugglec continued during
several minutes, until at length the boa
put forth its reserve of energy in one
tremendous final effort. Its body sud-

a twofold motion. Beside the waving
movement there was that peculiarly
serpentine longitudinal twirling that
