BOAR HUNTING IN INDIA.
Sir Edwin ArnOld's Unexpected Encounter
While Out Shooting Quail.


1t was amid the pretty broken
country round Poorundbur, not far
from Po0na, in the Bombay presi-
dency-a country of trap hills, and
vast plains of black soil, which splits
open in summer time with innumer-
able wide assures, into which the
lizards and field rats take headers as
you walk, and the snakes glide back
and forth, writes Sir Edwin Arnold
in the London Telegraph. l had
been shooting quail, with none but
native attendants, and as the sun
touched the western horizon wecame
to the edge of a deep glen wooded
with rounded clustered bushes, be-
tween which showed patches of yell
low grass.
"Down in that nullah. Gharib-
parwar-(protector Of the poor
there are plenty of deer and hares;
and perhaps, leopard" remarked
my Mahratta shikari.
"Get fifty of the people of the viii
lage," | answered, tomorrow morn
ing early, and let us beat the nullah
from top to bottom. We can do it
If"
"Dekho Dekho!" interrupted
Raglan; 'look, Saheb, lookm And
where he pointed | saw something in
the upper part of the valley moving
downward, which might be anything.
Obeying not ever wise Instruction
the light was rapidly falling
snatched my rifle from Raghar's hand
and ran down the slope, he following.
What lovely and lonely hollow it
wasin that silent Indian waste, with
its smooth tables Of sand and grass,
its green bushy sides and cascades OF
wild parasitical flowers growing on
the tree stems, while the tiny gray
ring doves fitted cooling from bush
to bush and from the thin string oil
water at the bottom the Deccan pee
wit, whocries, 'Did you-do-it?" ''Did
you -do-it9" rose, aware of our pres
ence.
Soon a button quail hustled out o
cane thicket higher up, and settled
almost at our feet-sure sign tina
something was coming. And some
thing did indeed come! We wer
standing on a level patch OF clea
ground, with dense clover above ant
below, and the twilight, which last
so briefly in India, was already grow
ing dim, when out Numbered BIZ

lets, bent, no doubt, on a drink 0

to her little ones. for they all imme

1t was Ineligible, moreover, 70 an
other pair of bristly ears for agai
the bushes opened, and forth int
the patch of clear ground thrust
grand old gray boar-tO whom,
