Hunting

BY Percy SeIOus

Wherever guns are made ard sold
and game is hunted for the sake OF
the sport of it The name of Selous
Is familiar. The stories of his
achievements circle the globe and
tens of thousands of lesser hunters
feel honored to hare hunted NTH
him on occasion or to have crossed
his track or followed his trail. A
confirmed nomdd. soldier of the
chase by irresistible prediction, he
has spent his life hunting. trapping
and trareling, sometimes in the Ca
madam poods, sometimes in the for
ests of the Andes, sometimes in the
passes of the Central Asian noun
tains. sometimes in the northern ice.
sometimes in the african jungle.
and the story of his hunting erpe-
riences is romance of fact and dd-
venture. A member of this famous
family of hunters is accompanying
