PRINCE SAVED THE GOAT.

Wales Rescued the Little AAima1
from Three Lion Cubs.
A Characteristic story Is being told
about the Prince Of Wales during his
stay In India, says the London World
+ happened during his second visit to
Gwalior and after the unfortunate
abandonment Of the Nepaul shikar.
The maharajah Of Gwalior had estab
lished some lion cubs in an Enclosure
with the idea Of perpetuating the breed
and one morning the prince strollei out
with some members Of his staff to see
them fed. He found them batting ar
unfortunate live goat, which they were
playing with as cats with mouse, and
1t was not at all pleasant sight for
an English sportsmans eyes. BY the
way, live animals are given to them
with the object Of teaching them to
fend for themselves In their destined
future lives Of freedom
After watching the performance for a
while the prince suddenly exclaimed /:
II can't stand this any longer. He's a
jolly plucky goat and we must get him
out somehow" The question was how
to manage the rescue, for it was not at
all an easy task to get the goat out OF
an Enclosure In which some three-quar-
ter grown lions were at large. How
ever, the fertile brain Of Gen. Stuart
Beatson thought Of lassoo and the
work Of salvage was commenced.
They had just got the moose over the
goat and were about to hoist him up,
when a lioness went for him in earn
est and 1t looked to be all up with him.
With the courage Of despair he charged
her and sent her flying and before she
could pick herself up and return to the
attack the rope was over him and he
was hoisted up to safety.
On examination he was found to have
escaped without injury, barring slight
cut on one leg, and he now roams
about, pensioner for life, adorned
with massive silver collar with an
inscription explaining how the prince
saved his life.
