How long had she known him?"

determined to climb on the platform
and investigate, which was foolish on
my part, as we were at least three miles
from camp and night coming on. My
| Batonga boy, whom had named David
| carried SIT express rifle to hand to me
when 1 called for it, and I carried an
eight-bore.
In order to Swarm" up the platform,
| handed my eight-bore to David, who
thus held both guns. No sooner had /
fairly reached the scaffolding than there
came terrifying roar from the bush
and scream from the boy. Dropping
both weapons, he placed himself beside
me with the agility of monkey.
| looked down to see a huge old lion
spring from the bush into the path The
beast shifted the rifles and paved them
warily. He evidently was one of those
superannuated lions of whom the natives
say: His teeth are worn; he will eat
man." because they are not able to fight
and Kill their ordinary prey. Thus they
are more dangerous to an unarmed man.
for they are hungry always, and man
without gun fills long-felt want with
them.
The lion scented us in the tree and
looked longingly up at us, sometimes
lying with his head upon his paws like
a domestic cat and just casting his eyes
sideways, as if thinking how good we
would taste, and then again roaring and
shaking his name, rearing on his hind
legs and scratching at the trunk of the
tree.
The moon came up and we could see
all this as from an open box, for the
branches of the trees let in enough light
on the path to make the scene visible.
Suddenly there came eatcrashing
of twigs, cracking of small saplings,
general tear-up of the bush, and, thun-
dering out of the obscurity, putting and
snorting, dashed a body, huge and un-
calmly, but with the speed of locomo-
tive.
1t was a rhinoceros, big, black and
ugly The lion would gladly have turned
tail, but the rhino was upon him too soon
and eornered the old cat. Then his
fighting blood awoke.
He made a spring for the rhino, jump
ing sideways, and landed on his shout
ders, but his claws and teeth were worn.
and. after confused tumble Of fighting
bodies, accompanied by terrific roars and
mighty shorts and puffs, we saw that the
rhino had shaken off his antagonist.
The two faced each other again. The
lion backed away and evidently was
about to run for it, when the rhino
charged. The lion sprang into the air to
dodge. but the great horn of the rhino
caught him in the side and we heard a
terrible ripping sound. Then the two
combatants were hidden by the bush,
from which the rhino presently emerged
alone. making uncouth noises and ap-
parently in great rage. He tossed his
head as II he scented us. but in his mad
anger rushed wildly away, crashing
through the forest.
Descending from the tree and regain
ing our guns. we found the lion dead.
We arrived in camp before the return Of
the party which had been sent ont in
search of us.
