PREDATORY Animals.
South African lions are. beyond aues-

bags. which the animal tore from the

instinctively that "A lion had killed the
donkey, and was standing over him not
five yards from where we were, but is

thing. or at least could make certain of
his whereabouts.

lion standing over the latter. with fire
partly lighting up the figures. until a
couple more donkeys broke loose. They
rushed into mealie field, and there the
party heard the lion chasing first one
donkey and then another, as excited and
as little afraid as dog chasing rabbits

his fore legs struck the ground. but the
two did not go far. There were presently
