counts OF man-eating tigers In India fail to
convey an adequate sense Of the awful terror
which these terrible brutes inspire In the
breasts Of the unfortunate VILLAGERS, whom they
haunt like evil demons. In ordinary cases tbs
tiger or leopard attacks the village herds moro
or less openly. and the herdsmen. finding that
the enemy viii, a. . rule. retreat on being
shouted at with vigor. are not In bodily fear all
the time. although I have known instances Of
the herdsman being killed py q tiger that he
had presumed to interrupt while ENJOYING q
meal from one Of his cattle.
They become moro dangerous when they
nave tasted the blood OF their Victim. and are
NOT usually disposed 10 give 10 up without .
nRnI remember the case OF . survey officer
In india. who. being told OF q "kiis near his
Work. went to inspect It unarmed. The tiger.
disturbed 1t his meal. rushed out enddenly at
the party. In his headionG night the officer.

INTO some long grass and bushes. The tigers
attention being drawn TO the natives. who
were climbing trees like mcnkeys In hurry.
