IN Stripes but as he is not with us
this evening, | will give you a little
sketch of the affair as | saw it.
Brother Bob and l were up on the
Nepaul frontier. headed for the lower
slopes of the HimalayaS.
In place of the ducks, cranes. coots
and pelicanS of the lagoonS along the
lOwland course of the Koosee we now
began to see quail, cartridges. pea fowl,
tiorican and other upland birds. In
places hidden in patches Of dense jungle
and overgrown with vines and creepers
were dilapidated temples indicating
that the whole country had at some
time been inhabited. though i'll the pres
ent age only . few scattered villages
are to be found. Outside of the villages
there are here and there hutS inha bited
by the 'gwalla,' or cowherd caste, and
these huts of the men Of the cattle sta
tons are often in the heart of almost
impenetr2ble stretches Of jungle.

kinds of game, and We first and last

hunting tigers, sometimes having fifty

had the satisfaction to see him open his
eyes. when it was not long before his
wits returned and he was able to sit up.
The paw of the tiger had struck him on
the side OF the head and knocked him
senseless, but had only slightly wound
ed his scalp. The weight of the tiger on
his chest had almost stopped his breath
and he felt some internal soreness. We
found that his life had been saved by Il

very slack with him. He offered for a
very reasonable price to bring out his
people and beat through a piece of jun
Gle which he knew to be alive with all
kinds of game. AS q part of the bargain
Brother Bob and l were to kill as many
wild hogs. deer and the like as we could
knock over, the Shekarry saying his
people were all very hungry for meat.
"The particular piece of jungle Sc
lected by the old game expert to be
beaten through lay between the forks
of two large streams with high and
steep banks. A more favorably stu
ated jungle for sport could not have
been found. AS Bob and l would sta
ton ourselves near the junction of the
two streams nothing could pass that
way without being seen. We took sta

where the jungle became somewhat

had dropped to one knee behind his

NERVOUSNESS OF Nfotormen.

nervous state, unlike that which is
excited by great noise or sudden
danger. has developed in several grip
men employed ON the Broadway road.
and among the mCtoTmen of the
Brooklyn trolley lines.
The constant lookout fer collisions
in the overcrowded district below

on his car till he goes off. Besides
