The Ouagga's Heels.

An amusing story is told by Cleveland
Moffett in his paper on The Wild Beast
Tanner" in ST.. Nicholas for August.
Well, il was here that l heard the
story. Bonavita, it appears, was stand
ing on the bridge one morning when there
arose fearful racket in the runway, and
looking IN he saw the quagga tearing
along toward him. He concluded that
some one had unfastened the door, and
was just preparing TO check the animal,
when around the curve came Rajah in
full pursuit. Bonavita stepped back,
drew his revolver, and. as the tiger
rushed past, fired blank cartridge,
thinking to divert him from the quagga.
But Rajah paid not the slightest heed,
and in long bounds came out into the
arena hard after the terrified quadruped,
which was gallOping now with the speed
of despair. A keeper who was sweeping
clambered up. the iron sides and anxious
~ watched the race from the top Bon
ayita, pOwerleSs to interfere, watched
from the bridge.
this was the most remarkable. 1t was Il
race for life as the quagga knew and
the tiger intended. Five times they cir
cled the arena, Rajah gaining always.
but never enough for a spring. In the
sixth turn, however he judged the dis
lance right. and straightway a black-and-
yellow body shot through the air in true
aim at the prey. Whereupon the quagga
did the only thing a quagga could do-let
out both hind legs in one straight ire
mendous kick; and they do say that 4
quagga can kick the eyes out of a fly.
At any rate, in this case a pair of nerv-
Gus little heels caught the descending
tiger squarely under the lower jaw, ana
put him to sleep like a nice little lullaby.
And that was the end of it. The quagga
trotted back to its cage, Bonavita put up
his revolver. the frightened sweeper
climbed down from the bars, and Rajah
was hauled back ANONYMOUSLY to his
den
