The Call of the Jungle.
BY BERKELEY HUTTON.

Many a time I've come back from a trip, leaving
half my men and all my ivory rotting in some dead
ly African swamp, half dead with fever, swearing
that I'm done with the business for good. And some
bright day, in six months, or even three, the smell
Of the jungle gets into my nostrils or the coughing
roar of a lions challenge-and that settles the
business. Back l go again, knowing precisely what
is coming-the sweating days and the chilling
nights, the torments of insects and of thirst, the
risks and hardships, and the privations. For once
Africa has laid her spell upon a man, he's hers for
ever. He'll dream of her--of the parched and Bills,
tered veldts he's crossed under the blazing sun
light; of the nights, those moonlit haunted nights
when he's watched beside a runway, waiting for the
game to come down to drink, and listened to the
ripple of the water on the fats, the stealthly snap
ping Of branches all around him, the scurry Of
monkeys overhead; listened to the vast silence, into
which all smaller sounds are cast as pebbles are
dropped into a pool.-Everybody's Magazine.

SPANS best matadors, found out to
his sorrow during the trip of the Span

The passengers of the Lopez tipped
their noses skyward when mention
was made of Senior Picardos' courage,
and a dark-eyed senorita, who came
in the vessel, said that the matador's
idol was shattered.
Flushed with the glory of a score of
brilliant campaigns in the plazas Of
Barcelona, Cadiz and Madrid, Picardos
boarded the ship at Cadiz, and during
the first week at sea was wined and
dined and praised until, according to
the officers, his waistcoat buttons
threatened to fly off, and there was
not a cap aboard the ship big enough
to hold his head.
Slowed in the well which divides the
superstructure Of the Antonio Lopez

The trouble all came about through
the mistake of a driver, who took to

India is the only country in which elephants
are used for hunting. In Africa the elephant is
not tanned; he is captured almost solely for his
ivory. But in India the elephant is used quite
entirely for hunting and working purposes.
The excitement of a tiger hunt begins long be-
fore a tiger is even sighted, The wild bees of
India build their hives in a hanging position on
the limbs of trees. Very often these drop down
close to the ground and the thick underbrush
hides them from view. 1t is a not infreduent in
cident of these hunts for an elephant to calmly
walk into one of these hives and scatter the busy
inmates in all directions, whereupon the bees
quickly recover and seek revenge upon the clum-
sy elephant and his riders. and all the other ele-
plants of the party. Such an incident is a COM
mon occurrence that helps to enliven a tiger hunt
and for the time being drives all thoughts of tiger
skins from the hunters minds. The basket or how
dab in which the hunter rides is another feature
that often lends excitement to a hunt, such as
no tiger could provide. The hunter, that is the
gentleman hunter, who has gone to India for the
sport, occupies the howdah. This is a very large
basket fastened to the elephants back by a very
strong rope. The spectacle reminds one of a
captain standing on his bridge, high above the
flashing waves. The native sits on the elephants
neck, OF, to follow the same figure of speech, he
is down on deck.
Now. elephants are often skittish and liable
TO fly off in a panic. They do this, quite forget.
full of the captain on the bridge, and the result
is that the tiger hunter often has to cling with
both hands to the sides of the howdah and re-
ceive a severe shaking up as though he were a
pebble in a tin can. Nor is this without its dan
gers, Often when the elephant becomes panic
stricken he will charge into a jungle and tear
madly about until he drops with fatigue.
Another danger is when an elephant gets caught
in a tropical mire and founders about. At these
times the elephant will grope about for anything
he can reach, to poke down under his feet to get
a firmer foothold. Small trees and branches are
thrown TO him which he dexterously arranges with
his trunk and fore legs until he has built a foun-
dation upon which he can rest. But at these
times the elephant is not scrupulous in regard to

cheers went up.
The bull turned quickly in his
tracks, lowered his head for the Sec
ond attack and Picardos essayed to
thrust the animal in the back of the
head.
The bull was up TO such tricks,
however, and in a jiffy had waltzed
around the matador, who found it no
easy matter to keep his feet because
of the shifting of the vessel.
The excitement was intense. Even
the officers on the bridge left their sta
