compositicn and in the same way caves
were excavated at other places, within
one of which our tiger made his lair. All
around the ground was very unfavorable
for manuvering elephants, and we knew
nothing about those accompanying US
except what their mahouts said and
swore, which was naturally false from be-
ginning TO end. Tree and shrub, Jungle,
powders, steep slopes, and gulches form,
ed surface that no sane man would
have willingly ridden boiling tusker
over.
At all events, a reconnaissance was In
order, and, following Jura Naik, we
marched off to take note OF our enemy $
position. He led across the valley and
then up a rugged gorge-dark, damp with
all sides by an exuberant mass of tropl-
cal vegetation. We had not gone far by
this route however, before our guide gave
US the first evidence of his real quality
"Choop be silent" he muttered, stop
ping short at point where two crags left
but narrow passage between hem.
Then STOPPING over patch OF dank
leaves, our shikari pointed a lean, brown
finger at some indistinct marks, and said,
"These were made since sunrise" Look
ing closely, the great square pugs OF a
tiger showed distinctly, and Immediately y
divining this trails meaning, ,EJura Naik
pulled aside a mat of interlaced creepers,
revealing these tracks going up muddy
gully towards the ridge. He did not fol
low them, however, but kept on by the
main ravine until it ran out on high
ground above. There, motioning us to
silence, our guide stole warily from clump
to clump of bushes, and finally halted
behind some tamarisks, where, he ex-
planned in whispers, that few more
PAGES would bring us directly over the
tigers cave. After this we, so TO speak,
stalked that fissure through which, as
has been said, our game was seen.
Naturally, no SCORER had the object OF
recOnnoiterng been gained, than we
hastened away. 1t was most desirable
that the tiger should not vacate his
present quarters, whose surroundings
were now known, and this would almost
certainly happen if he found any trace of
our visit. Furthermore. this brute had
not entirely given up killing cattle, so
that, besides the fact OF his sound morning
sleep being then over, it was quite pos
sible for him to start out on a hunting
expedition before the herds were driven
home. Of then our party went to their
tents under the deodarS of NundipoCT,
whose inhabitants having pretty nearly
used themselves up during their previous
exercises, happily permitted us to sleep IN
peace.
BY the time our "little breakfast" was
finished next morning, men enough to
prevent any stcalthy retreat TO the rear
were in position. They knew exactly
what to do, and how easily this suSpici-
Gus animal can be turned by any unusual
sight OF sound. We only needed TO look
after our own small following, for a Hindu
can be counted upon to forget anything,

When Captain Glenn Of our army

that snowshoes would have to play az

1t was before the party had started

structed to cross a certain glacier and

JAILED ON FEARFUL CHARGE
Hummel, Accused OF killing His Wife

WILIAMsPoRT, Pa, Nov. 25.-Will-
lam Hummel, charged with the mur.
der of his wife and three children,
three of whose bodies were found under
a straw stack near Montgomery, was
arrested near Allenwood. When shown
the bodies of his victims he denied their
identity and insisted that they were
still alive. He tells many conflicting
stories. The body of the baby has not
yet been found.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that the four victims were slain with a
pole-axe in the hands of William Hum.
mel. and that the crime was murder in
the first degree. The wagon of Hummel
swes found, and in it were blood stains,
showing that the victims had been
hauled away in that vehicle.
The mystery of the aby was cleared
up by the discovery of some charred
bones in an ash heap in the rear of the
mouse. Hummel was taken before
Squire Bardo, at Montgomery, for a
hearing, and held without bail. When
the officers started for the railway sta
tion there were threats OF lynching, but
he was whisked away too quick. He is
now in a steel cage in the jail here, and
is closely watched.

So slender foreign demand in Atlantic
