A Kill at 300 Yards.

Where the gemsbuck were feeding

The increasing anxiety of the animals,
however, warned me that II wanted

Accordingly I halted, though the dis

my aim had been good, even il the
animal had not stumbled forward at

Menaced by Lions in Camp.

One night was awakened by the
dog barking and the uneasiness OF
the oxen. | grabbed my carbine hast

caused the disturbance. BY the

had half mind to shoot, but thought
1t safer not to do SO, the distance
being too great; so waited until
morning, and as the flames began to
shoot up and brighten the surround
ings the lions became less plain to
view. l distinctly saw them, how
ever, move away over the ridge. The

ing my horse the stiff gallop had
anticipated, for these creatures are
as swift as any of the genus. Throw
ing the carcass just as it was. without
opening, across the saddle, took it to
a spot which would give me a chance
of telling shot, If lion should
make It's appearance. But although |
watched the best part of the night,
nothing came of my vigil, the jackals
reaping the benefit of all my careful
preparations. The fact was. as | sub
sequently found out, that they were
lions In their prime and it is not
often that such can be decoyed by a
carcass which they have not them
selves destroyed
Next morning | was, Of course, about
looking for signs; but could make
nothing out as to lions. On going
down toward the river some half mile
from camp. my attention was attract
ed by the unusual conduct of a leop-
ard. He was cutting all sorts of
capers; at one time ploughing along
the ground with his head; at another
rearing upright and tearing at his
throat with his fore paws. All this
was curious, it was also my opportun-
ity, and l lost no time in putting a
couple of bullets into him, the second
of which laid him out nicely, without
giving me the trouble which usually
falls to my lot when tack]ing these
great cats. On proceeding to investi-
gate the reason for such strange
performance, my wonder ceased.
Having tackled a porcupine. with moro
gusto than discretion, one Of the lat.
teTs quills had got inserted under the
root of the leopard's tongue, and was
working deeper and deeper. The tor
ture the poor animal endured must
have been awful, and do not imagine
it could have survived. No dead
"porky" appeared to be around, 80,
thanking him in his absence, took
the beautiful spotted skin. Next day
was laid up with an attack Of fever
which kept me idle for some time. My
two boys. however, attended assidu-
ously to my needs. and In due course
got about again. The lions had, dur
