Hanging Above a Tiger.

A British officer in India had zone on,
upon an elephant in search of Il tiger,
which had just killed Il man and two
bullocks within half n mile of camp.
The hunt was brief, and the officer pres
emily got two shots Mt the tiger, but
without killing him. The jungle was
heavy, and 1t was already getting dusk
when the servant touched the officer
from behind and said, ''There he is!'
The adventure is best described by the
man himself, as quoted by Gen. Wilkin.
Sol.
The tiger was lying within ten yards
Of me, unable to rise, as l afterwarl,
found out, from his loins being broken.
Seeing that he was not dead, however,
I was in the act of taking up my rifle,
when something struck me on the back
and damned me to the front Of the
howdah. 1 had just time to lay hold Of
the branch of n tree and pull myself out
Of the howdah, otherwise my back
would have been broken.
Then the frightened elephant ran
away, and left ME suspended immedi-
ately over the tiger, which lay looking
up at me, growing and lashing his
sides.
You may imagine my feelings. In
vain I tried to get into the tree, and at.
last, my fingers becoming cramped, 1
lost my hold and fell on the tiger. 1t
was like dropping into the jaws Of.
death.
The instant I touched the ground, the
tiger with n terrific oar seized my left
foot in his mouth, md with one bite
crushed the heel and ankle bone to
powder. Then he gave me three other
bites, two on the calf Of the leg and one
on the knee, every bite breaking tho
bone to pieces.
My agonies We're dreadful. In vain I
called for help, but after n struggle I
got my right leg free and gave the tiger
q tremendous kick ON the head, which
induced him to let so. Instantly I got
up and hobbled to the foot Of the tree,
where 1 fell exhausted, with the tiger
still n few PAGES off.
The sepoy, who had been with me in
the howdah, had lodged safely in the
tree, and witnessed the whole scene.
Now he came down within q few feet
Of the ground, and begged me to get
into the tree. At first l thought I could
not, but when the sepoy told me that
the tiger would be at me again, I gave
the fellow my hands, and he managed
to pull me up into the lower branches.
By and by my brother officer, whose
elephant, like my own, had become un.
manageable. came back, and finally
killed the tiger, after which I was
somehow got into the howdah and chr.
ried back to camp.

She remained silent. Her task was rem

"Your papa's memory is sacred to me

the girl looked up in wonder, noting the
constraint in her mothers voice. But it
