are always glad to see him. Ihelf

"Sahib," said Ghunga, ito shoot q
tiger is easy if one be brave and wise.
To enmesh him alive is like trapping
the lightning. 1t is perilous and un-
profitable"
convinced him soon that the profits
would warrant the extra toll, and we
set to work on our plans.
The Striped Death" had last been
seen about 20 miles north of Remach-
undas village, where he had slain ard
partly devoured half-grown goatherd.
Thither we went, acting on the theory
that tiger thoroughly exhausts the
possibilities of one neighborhood be-
fore moving on to another.
For two weeks We worked in vain.
Traps, falls and all other sorts of Gus
tomary ruses were useless. The brute
seemed, indeed, to have some of the
miraculous powers attributed to him
by the superstitious villagers. At last
even the iron nerves of my two IN
trepid shikarris we're almost shaken by
the tigers repeated escapes from situa-
lions wherein it seemed there was no
loophole left.
Twice during this time we saw him.
Once as mere streak of barred sun
light, passing rapidly through a gap in
the jungle. The second time, summing
himself on a rock, not so yards from
us. A rifle shot would easily have end
ed his career then, and Ghunga's hands
clenched tightly on his weapon.
"See, sahib," he whispered. The
brute knows we will not shoot. It is
for that reason he lets us come so
close No one who came to kill has
been so near to him"
Day by day the tiger worked south
ward, and day by day we crept south
ward on his trail. At length we were
within two miles Of Remachunda's own
village.

Now l, for one, had not the faintest,
remotest desire to turn him loose
again." For I helped to capture him,
and never could look on those mighty
paws of his without seeming to see
them, as had once before seen them,
stained with human blood.

This was the state of affairs when I
reached Calcutta. This was the story
that reawoke in me the hunting fever.
l thought the matter over for awhile,
then I said to my informant:
l don't want to boast, but think l
can get this Striped Death of yours.
I mean to have to have try at him
anyhow"
1t was not only the desire for sport
that spurred me on to this. l had but
that day found awaiting me at Calcutta
a letter from a famous European ami
NAL dealer who wanted large male
tiger and who commissioned me to pro-
cure such a one for him if possible.
These two motives urged me to the
quest.
Next morning left Calcutta. Invent
straight to the village, where dwelt an
old, SCARED native hunter of my ac-
quaintance, Remachunda Dhass by
name. He and his younger brother,
Ghunga Dhass, were noted "shikarris"
(huntsmen), and feared nothing. BY
their help believed l could do more
toward capturing the Striped Death
than with a whole regiment of beaters
I explained my business to the broth
ers. When l named the price they
hunt. But when stipulated that the
tiger must be caught alive and unhurt
their faces fell.

idea seemed SO horrible that l shrank

That night the moon rose over the
jungle clearing and illumined strange
sight-a huge trap, with open door;
the body of a live lamb dangling just
within near the doorway, and farther
back in a sort of cage within a cage
floor, holding to her breast fretful
baby and soothing it's cries with no
more fear in her voice than if she were
safe in her husbands hut
From a treetop so feet away we
watched, silent yet alert: for every
sound that the jungle breeze bore to
us. For two hours we all waited thus.
The strange unaccountable noises that
run through the jungle at night now
rose, now fell, as the time wore on.
The distant howl of some animal, the
nearer patter Of feet, the scream of
night birds, and at last
There he stood, the Striped Death"
in the moonlit clearing not hundred
feet from the trap. Each detail of his
massive body stood out clear and dis
tinct. At sight of the trap and its
human bait (Which he had doubtless
tracked for miles by scent and sound)
he fiattened himself to the ground like
cat, ran forward a few steps, flatten-
ed himself once more, and again ran
on. The woman saw him, but not for
moment did she intermit the Groom
ing lullaby.
At last the tiger, gathered his bulk
together for a spring and launched
himself full at the cage. It rocked and
groaned at the impact, but stood firm.
Twice he leaped at the stout bars,
driven furious by the frightened cries
of the baby. Then he bit and tore at
the wood and tried to reach the prey
with his claws
At last, failing in this, he began
proving about the cage, looking for an
opening. He came to the door. We
held our breath. Then we sighed with
u,
and the door had closed behind him.
He did not note the falling shut of the
door, nor the struggling lamb that al
most brushed his nose as he passed.
His only thought was of the woman
and child that now seemed almost
within his reach. He did not realize
that he was trapped, but 1eaped madly
against the partition in a never-ending
struggle to break it down The woman
was the bravest I ever saw, though
hers was the courage of despair and re-
venge.
The moment the trap was sprung we
had descended from the tree A few
blows of Remachunda' ak made an
opening in the trap large enough for
the mother and child to creep through.
Then, cunningly and deity, Rema-
chunda began to pass hide rope about
the tigers wildly struggling body,
through the bars. In half an hour the
Striped Death" was bound, enmeshed
and helpless.
It had been the most exciting nights
work of my career as hunter.

A year ago last September re-
turned to Calcutta from an "up-coun-
try big-game expedition. At my club
there on the evening of my arrival I
picked up story that awoke in me
the old hunting instinct, which Is
never very soundly asleep in the heart
of man who has once seen gigantic
beasts fall dead at the light pressure
of his forefinger on the trigger.
The story in brief was this:
For several years the Calcutta dis
trict had been terrorized by tremen-
dous man-eating tiger. Now whenever
tiger has killed a single human be-
ing the gentle native always begins to
describe the brute as being several
sizes larger than an elephant, and tells
how he can swallow three men at a
mouthful. So the tiger stories cleaned
from the natives must always be taken
with at least bushel of salt. But the
rumors concerning this particular tiger
THE Striped DEATH" as the villagers
had nicknamed him-Were persistent
and were more than once verified by
English hunters who had come upon
his human kills" Several hunting
parties had gone in search of him, but
he was as willy as he was terrible.
Lord Curzon, the viceroy, had even got
up special hunt, with THE Striped
Death" as it's object. But, though many
tigers fell prey to the expedition, the
tiger they wanted was not among the
slain.
After this the natives declared that a
tiger which could elude the divine
'viceroy' must be a supernatural being.
No sooner was this rumor started than
it of course became impossible to hire
"beaters'' to hunt him. No nativ'l
would willingly face the wrath of til
particular god or demon who had cho-
sen that tigers body as his headquar
ters.

Last Revolutionary soldiers Widow.

T. ]. Deavitt Of Montpelier, in COM
munication to the Boston Transcript says;
Mrs. Esther Damon. OF Plymouth Union.
Vt, is the last surviving widow OF a soldier
who fought for our independence in the
American Revolution. She is not a hun
dred years OF age, but has outlived her
relatives The other members Of the
family where she resided a great many
years have died. obliging her recently to
seek a new home. While Mrs. Damon is
i'll in bed. her mind seems sound. She is
in INDECENT circumstances, and the Yer
mont Chapter of Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution contribute toward her sup
port and care. Last December the legis-
lature OF Vermont appropriated 5000 to be
used for that same purpose. She had a
pension OF SEQ month from the United
States that was increased in February
to S25 by a special act Of Congress the
increase commencing from the approval
Of the act by the president and viii be
paid Mrs. Damon hereafter at the regu-
lar quarterly payments OF pensions. While
the law gives a helpless soldier a pension
OF So a month, it would have been entire
~ proper for Congress to have increased
Mrs. Damon pension to a sum sufficient
10 pay for her entire support and care
during the remainder Of her life.
