to tell of facing lions with a small
caliber military rifle, an adventure to
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, me-
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.

our way down to where we had last

Lee-Metford carbines and we turned
on our magazines in order to have a
good running fire available should our
quarry demand it.
Meantime our main body, coming
along the opposite bank of the river,
had seen our maneuver, and an Off
Ger and one man had come down into
the riverbed from their side to help us.
Gradually and cautiously we sur

the three muskets In his army were OF

ficers in command could be induced

Drayton and ] agreed that the lion was
in a little cope OF rocks about half
mile up the wind. We had not had
time before dark TO examine any Of
the old spoor and knowing merely
that there was at least lioness with
cubs among the lot, we set out in
stead OF waiting until they approached
the stream. Drayton carried special
$3.50 Winchester and | Parker ten
gauge, which had loaded with special
shells of dense powder and buckshot
set in wax.
When within so yards of the Hoppe
"a splendid animal form rose out OF
the rocks and stood facing us his fore
paws on huge boulder. We were
hidden by the clumps of brush through
which we had been working and he
did not see us. Slowly and majestic
ally he surveyed the little plain then,
thrusting out his ponderous jaw ut
tered roar that went laundering
down the reaches of moonlit silence
1t was with difficulty that could re-
strain Drayton from risking shot
from where we stood. The lion held
his pose and ducking under cover OF
the brush and treading softly on the
sand we hurried forward To the first
ridge of rocks. To pass these, we
must attract his notice to certainty.

with every nerve tingling and my eyes
and ears astrain to catch any sign OF

There were two other lions on the
other side of the Hoppe and one In
the rocks and brush not 20 yards from
us to the right. But we had not time
to think of them. The wounded lion

and quickness AS he leaped, with

TROUBLE OVER MERRY WIDOW
The Hat So Named, Of Course, Is

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
per seemed erratic, held up ticket
buyer with a question most emphatic.
The buyer, Israel Cohen, a milliner's
errand boy, with hat as big as ever
seen, had caused the clerks annoy.
The hat was just linear yard across
from brim to brim, while half that dis
lance up and down made other hats
look slim. For the hat 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 a pass at Cohen, while Is

luckless messenger was able to es-

assumed n woeful shape, No longer

But while the fight was at its height
