The colonel. having shot . gaur, sent
two coolies to bring in the head.
They returned with the news that a
family of tigers had taken possession
Of the gaur, whereupon the colonel,
accompanied by his native hunter and
the two coolies, set ont to bag a
tiger.
The big cats were found hard at
work in q patch Of heavy grass, into
which they had dragged the gaur
Sending the two coolies up q small
tree little way of, the colonel and
the shikaree climbed large tree by
the aid of a bamboo ladder. From his
perch the colonel got a view of large
and medium-sized tiger. He fred at
the shoulder of the large one and took
a snap shot at the other Is it bolted
and broke its back.
There were responding roars; then a
tiger rushed at the colonels tree,
knocked down the ladder and retired,
wounded from hurried shot, II a
heavy patch of grass ten yards of.
There it announced itself on guard by
roars and snarla Five shots failed to
drive it away.
Finding that he had but two car
tridges left, the colonel held out his
hand to the shikaree for more. That
worthy had given the bag containing
the ammunition to one of the coolies.
Only monkey or a native could de-
scend the tree without ladder; the
red ants led the men lively time; the

An hour before daybreak the tigers
became silent. A dead branch flung
into the grass provoked . roar which
told that she was still on guard. The
colonel took of his trousers and coat
and stuffed them full Of leaves, thus
making a dummy man. The shikaree
tore his turban into strips and tied one
end TO the stuffed figure. Going out
on . branch he let it down. As it
touched the ground the tigress sprang
upon it and tore 1t to bits The colonel
rolled her over with a ball through
the neck and another through the
shoulder. She died without q groan.
Then the coolies were called upon to
descend and reerect the ladder. Down

from the bag and killed the broken

were torn to shreds and he had to

At the head of the stairs, where the
sunlight made a subdued golden haze,

hand with frank smile, a critical in

"I'm very glad you've come" she

wondering.

on her.
She was more lovely even than he

Was it not the something which he had
expected would radiate her face when

its charm? There was bright surface

seemed at first to confide all the secrets
of the soul beyond, but elusive and tan

He did not arrive at these conclusions
at once, but during the hour he passed
near her, when he carefully noted every
movement, every glance and word that

Mrs. Ventnor proved an entertaining
patient. Nothing troubled her, she said,
but wakeful nights, and This was not
surprising when Hugh learned with
what delicacies she gorged herself at
midnight.
She thanked heaven that she was not
blase. 1t was not ennui that kept her
staring at the ceiling when the rest of
the world slept.
