The tiger thereupon sprang into a

with his fore paws and resting his
hind legs on a branch, remained hid

Then the dogs were let loose after

and would not come down till the
dogs, getting a scent of him, jumped
up to catch his tail, which was just

Cannon is clear-eyed and vigorous
He walks with springy step and his
