Sure enough, by crawling cautiously
along in the shadow of the bluff, we saw
our musical friend squatted on his
launches. with head thrown back and
mouth open, emitting the most blood

gigantic tabby cat. But what connec-

nostrils and the bumps over their eyes,
but all ready for their expected prey.
But they were to be disappointed this
time; for the jaguar, Immediately upon
the conclusion of his serenade, started
off upstream as hard as he could run
along the bank of the river, and when
he had gone about 500 yards dropped
softly into the water and swan safely

unable to make fast enough time up
