some months ago until plan for pro-

tigers ana rid the vicinity Of them for
ever. l must explain that to most
Siberian regiments arc attached compa-
MES Of sharp-shoOters. Those are
picked men. They arc raised in the
wilds OF Siberia, and from childhood
are accustomed to the use OF firearms
and to hunting.
When tina governor called for aid
against the tigers, every man who be-
longed TO an Othotnik corps wanted to
volunteer. Finally, after much compo-
tition, three officers and four men were
selected for the task. Their names
were Sub-Lieutenants TruboH, Schmidt
and Malckevsky, Corporals StepauoI
and Aksenoh' and Priyates NeutessoH
aud Bychoa. They were drawn from
the third and fourth battaiions, Siber-
ian Rifles.
On July 10 last the soldiers strucl; the
trail OF beast whose movements they
had been watching for several days.
The pursuit lod them into wooded
district some distance from the railroad
camp, and towards nightfall, finding
themselves belated, they resolved to
malt and bivouac. First OF all, they
built cherry fire, and were standing in
circle around the ruddy blaze, when
an ominous cracking noise in the brush.
wood caused each man to grasp his
rifle. In another instant, almost before
they had time to think, the undcrbrush
parted, and like FLASH there sprang
ous OF Tho gloom tho brilliant
striped terrible form OF q ggan-
tic man-eater. Falling like an ava.
Ianche upon Trubol, the ferocious
animal bore him to the ground, fasten-
Cd it's teeth in his left shoulder, and
would soon have crushed out his lie,
but for the courageous action OF his
comrades. AksenoF threw himself flat
upon the ground. and taking exact aim,
sent a bali through the tigers eye. Had
his hand once faitored, he must have
killed or MANNED poor TruboG, who lay
prose and helpless in the animal grasp.
Hardly had Akseaoa's bullet gone
home, when Private Schmidt, rushing
forward, buried his long hunting.knife
in tho beasts neck directly below the
skull. Trubof was saved, and the dead
tiger carried in triumph TO camp. BY
this time its magnificent skin has be-
come the property OF the governor OF
Eastern Siberia, who will keep it as
trophy. The two brave privates will be
rewarded with promotion.
