THE LION TOSSED SHAGGY HEAD

to tell of facing lions with a small
thrill army sportsman.
In the first place, scouting played a
very prominent part in the prelimin-
aries to major operations.
This scouting, to be successful, ne
cessitated ones going with the very
slenderest escort-frequently with
one man only, to look after the horses,
and for long distances away from our
main body, into the districts occupied
by the enemy and by big game. Thus,
one was thrown entirely on ones own
resources, with the stimulating knowl-
edge that if he did not maintain a suf-
ficient alertness of observation and
action, he stood very good chance,
indeed, not only of failing to gain in
formation which you were desired to
seek, but also of getting himself wiped
out, and left in stress on the veldt-
Spooring," or tracking, was our
main source of guidance and informa-
ton and night the cover under which
we were able to make our way about
the enemy's country with impunity.
The pleasures of the pursuit of
game were all the more enhanced by
the knowledge that the meat was
really necessary to US, and especially
by the fact that We often carried out
our sport at the risk of being our
selves the quarry of some sneaking
band of rebel warriors.

US the two white men of the party,

We frequently left the river and

times we were absent from the main

TROUBLE OVER MERRY WIDOW
The Hat So Named, of Course, Is
Meant, and the Tale Is Dis
NAL One, Indeed.

There's a weeping bride in Borough
Park and an angry bridegroom, too,
and a frenzied halter, which does not
matter as much as the brides boo
hooi" writes the poet reporter of the
New York Tribune.
When subway trains and rushing
crowds of men from every nation had
jammed the stairs and platforms of
the Twenty-third street station the
ticket seller, Charlie Holt, whose tenn
per seemed erratic, held up a ticket
buyer with a question most emphatic.
The buyer, Israel Cohen, miIliner's
errand boy, with hat as big as ever
seen, had caused the clerks annoy.
The hat was just a linear yard across
from brim to brim, while half that dis
lance up and down made other hats
look slim. For the hat a bride was
waiting and the hour was getting late.
but the subway, Holt insisted, was not
built to carry freight
So Holt emerged from out his box
and made pass at Cohen, while Is
rael seemed inclined to think twas
time that he was goin'- But ere the

(as otherwise they would not be oc-
cupying this hilD.
However, they could not see any
thing of us, as it was then quite dark
And we went farther on among the
mountains. In the early morning
light we crossed the deep river-bed
of the Umchingwe River, and, in do
ing so, noticed the fresh spoor of
lion in the sand. We went on and had
a good look at the enemy's stronghold;
and on our way back, as we APP
preached this river-bed, agreed to go
quietly, in case the lion should be
moving about in it. On looking down
over the bank, my heart jumped into
my mouth when 1 saw grand old
brute just walking in behind a bush
Jackson did not see him, but was of
his horse as quickly as 1 was, and
ready with his gun: too ready, indeed,
for the moment that the lion appeared,
walking majestically out from behind
the bush that had hidden him, Jack
son fired hurriedly, striking the ground
under his foot, and, as we afterwards
discovered, knocking off one of his
claws.
1.-The lion tossed up his shaggy head
and looked at us in dignified surprise.
Then 1 fired and hit him with a leaden
bullet from the Lee-Metford. He
reeled, sprang round, and staggered
a few PAGES, when Jackson, who was
using a Martini-Henry, let him have
one in the shoulder. This knocked
him over sideways, and he turned
about, growing savagely.
81 could scarcely believe that we
had got a lion at last, but resolved
to make sure of it; so, telling Jackson
not to fire unless it was necessary
(for fear of spelling the skin with the
larger bullet of the MartinD, l went
down closer to the beast and fired
shot at the back of his neck as he
turned his head momentarily away
from me. The bullet went through
his spine and came out through the
lower jaw, killing him.
1--WE were pretty delighted at our
success, but our niger was mad with
happiness, for a dead lion-provided
, he is not a man-eater-has many in
valuable gifts for a Kaffir, in the shape
of love-philtres, charms against dis
ease or injury, and medicines that
produce bravery. It was quite de-
lightfu to shake hands with the
mighty paws of the dead lion, to pull
at his magnificent tawny name, and
to look into his great deep, yellow
eyes. Then we set to work to skin
him; two of US skinning while the
other kept watch in case of the enemy
sneaking up to catch us while we were
thus occupied. We found that he was
fat, and also that he had been much
wounded by porcupines, portions of
whose quilts had pierced the skin, and
lodged in his flesh in several places.
Our niger cut out the eyes, gall-blad-
der, and various bits of the lions
anatomy, fetch medicine. l filed
my carbine-bucket with some of the
fat, as 1 knew my two boys Diamond
and M'tini, would very greatly value
it. Then, after hiding the head in a
neighboring bush where we could find
it again, we packed the skin on to
one of the ponies and returned to
camp nightly pleased with our
selves"
