But we had come for nobler game.
 All at once the rhinoceros checked his sport, and Khoolah, in whisper, told me to look to the right.
 I did as was told, and saw, stand ing near the water, a figure whose natural majesty proclaimed that the lion had come.
 I could see his great mane and make out all the other parts, so distinctly had the moonlight marked them.
 Don't tirs yet, my captain said Khoo,ah, with his soft, dark fingers at my wrist. ''The other one is com- ing"
 at that very moment he came in sight from the left, waking in the sway ing pace peculiar to the lion, but with head erect, as if challenge was in- tended.
 In a moment the first lion sent out q roar that seemed to shake the very earth about us.
 t It was answered by the other, as he stopped and lashed the air with his tail; then, all at once, he sprang for ward, and the two champions stood face to face.
 I was now almost too frightened to fire, and if I had fired, fear should have missed the target.
 The rhinoceros in the water had not returned to his bath. When glanced toward him, saw him turn and sneak away, with his eyes covertly watch ing the lions on the bank.
 After cycling one another a short time, the two beasts began to ap- proach. Now, they seemed to creep along the ground, and now they walked erect. shaking their tawny manes and emitting low growls of de- fance.
 Suddenly the lion which had come from the left sprang at his antagonist, and in an, instant the two beasts seemed to meet in midair.
 Down they came in a hot grapple for the mastery, rolling over and over like tenacious eats, all the time send ing out sounds that lent new excite ment to the battle.
 Once they fell apart, and looking madly at each other, went at it again with tenfold fury. This time their savage wrestling decreased the dis tance between them and our pit. drew back in alright.
 I was sure that the battle of the lions could be heard in camp, as the wind was blowing over our heads and in that direction. Now they would be silent for a moment, and then they would break forth again, roaring and battling with all their might.
 I grew so fearful that they would continue the combat till we found them at the very edge of our pit, that ] proposed to Khoolah to open on them with the colonefs rifles. But the Na- tai boy objected.
 By and by the lions got up again, and one retreated toward us till but very few feet intervened.
 ''Now, Khoolah, we must give it to them!" whispered. Take the one
