Badgering an Angry lioness.

We had not been back In camp very
long when my companion came in, say.
ing he had run across lioness in
the hills. which he was sure was the
one we had seen, as she was very
angry. She had run into some long
grass, and had charged out towards
his men. when they were going up to
light II. He was very unwell with
fever at the time, and although he
rad two or three shots. he was so
shaky he could not hit her. and at
last felt so III he had to give her up.
His shikari told me the lIoness was
very much beat from being badgered
about In the sun and he was sure we
could find her. owed her one for
frightening Hassan, so We started at
once, Hassan not coming. but sending
a relation OF his on the same pony.
After a short ride We got to the place
and found the tracks going into a
long strip OF high feathery grass. We
cast all around and could find no
tracks coming out, so decided to burn
the patch. II was about 200 yards
long and perhaps SO broad. I could
not command the whole OF II. so I
told the men to light II at the top
and along one side. and Abdulla and

the other side, about 30 yards out
from the edge. At the bottom end I

Madison, Wis.-An interesting story

Bryce's visit to Madison last June

has just leaked out.
During his stay here the distin
guished Briton was the guest OF Pres
ident Van Hise. For weeks before the
coming of the noted statesman his in
tended visit had been the subject OF
conversation at the Van Hise dinner
table and every precaution had been
made to make his stay as pleasant as
should be. Especially Interested In the
plans for his entertainment were the
two daughters Of the president. Janet
and Hilda, the former a Bryn Mawr
miss Of 20, and the latter a girl Of 16.
a student at the Wisconsin academy
While many distinguished guests had
been entertained at their home. they
looked forward to the time when they
would welcome the British ambassa
dor as "one of the family" for few
days at least.
The test of their hospitality came In
a rather unexpected manner. When
Mr.. Bryce retired for the night he Sc,

have them polished by the man serv

edge OF the strip going towards the
bottom end. She did not see us. as

ing quite still.
When shot she seemed TO stumble
forward, but recovering herself
caught sight OF the man on the pony,
and before could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like
fash. He had not seen her when
I shot. as she was hidden by the
grass. and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. lie galloped straight
away from me, and dare not fire at
the lioness for fear OF hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards II looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and ut length,
to my great relief, the pony began
TO gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into a bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,
painting. Running up. I shot her be-
fore she could prepare for another ef.
fort. My first bullet had gone through
the muscles OF the forearm Just below
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite small hole. The ma.
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because lion
could not spring before a momentary
halt to crouch. II this is SO, a pony
could always get away from a lion
galloping straight behind 1t. unless tho
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions I have been chased
myself in the open grass plain, but
have always got a fair start, and my
pony has had no difficulty in keeping
out Of the lions way. A pony boy of
mine was very nearly caught one day
in the open. He was trying to round
up lion, and got rather too close
to 1t on tired pony. He only Just
got away. This same lion afterwards
chased mo and two or three OF my
men for quite long time. Unless a
pony falls down, am sure there Is
nothing to be feared from lion In

the open. II one gives him q pretty
wide berth, so as to get a start when
he charges. AS a rule the lion will
give up the chase after 100 yards or
so. This pony OF Hassan's was about
the best l ever saw In Somaliland.
He would not put price on It, be-
cause he said he could make quite a
respectable income by making looting
expeditions on its back. as it was so
fast nobody could catch 1t.
Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.
A year after this met Hassan
again, and asked him how his pony
was. He said II was very we'll, but
that he had very nearly lost It a short
time before. He had been down in
the waterless plain on a looting ex.
pedition with some other Eldegalla
warriors. After a successful raid they
split up to avoid pursuit, and Hassan
was on his way home driving some OF
the looted camels In front OF him. II
was a very dry year. and although Il
was the rainy season, he had been
unable to find any water in pools 10
give his pony The result was that
having BEEN ridden hard for two or
three days with little or no water to
drink, the pony got beat, and at last
lay down, about 20 miles from the
wells they were making for. No
amount OF stick would get Il on its
legs again. and Hassan was In de-
spair. He knew there were no vii.
lagos at the wells where he could get
vessels In which to carry water back
to the pony. and II seemed as II moth.
ng could be done to save II. At last
he thought OF a plan. Driving the
camels at top speed to the wells, he
gave them as much water as they
could drink. and hurried them back
again. He found the pony where he
had left II. in a very bad way. but
Immediately proceeding TO kill and cut
open the camels. he took the water out
OF their stomachs and gave II to the
pony. which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After a few
days rest II completely recovered.
Hassan added that he could very soon
get some more camels. and that he
would rather have cut the throats of
hundred than have lost his pony.

we had two separate camps. six or
seven miles apart, each OF them on the
edge Of the Marar Prairie, on q ban

tent. This was the best place for
lions It has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly q day passed that
lions were not seen by one or the other
OF US. very often right out In the open,
miles from any bush. II was cool,
cloudy weather while we we're there,
and the lions seemed to do most of
their hunting In the daytime. There

more game than have ever seen any
where else. Large herds of hart

were to be seen feeding in every direc.
tion. Besides this, in the open there
were good many ostriches and few
hunting cheetahs. In the bush at the
back of our camps were Walters ga

One morning my companion was

that three lions we're just crossing

ponies and galloped after the lions

they could not make out why the
donkey did not run away. and stood
quite still looking at him. As I
watched they suddenly started, and
came racing towards us side by side
like two enormous dogs. When the
lions got up to the donkey they did
not seem to stop their rush, but
donkey and lions all went down with
a crash together. How they actually
knocked him over I did not see, as at
that moment I drew back my head
involuntarily. because, although we
were absolutely safe inside a mass OF
mimosa thorns, the whole thing felt
unpleasantly close. When I looked
out again | could easily have touched

with Its forepaws on the donkey and
Its hind quarters within q few inches

see his head. as the other lions body

close was sure the bullet would drive
