prey for a second Then the cow
charged and hurled the marauder
from her PROSTATE young. A fight
commenced in earnest.
The leopard sprang to its feet and
in an instant was on the back of the
COW. With the agility of a wrestler
she fell and rolled over her aggressor,
arising to her feet again in flash.
Before the leopard could spring she
rushed at him with below like a fog
horn. struck him full on and tossed
him into the water In moment the
leopard was on the bank again. 1t
sprang at the cows throat but missed
as she lodged aside. Again the
leopard sprang. The COW fell back
lifted her head and caught it full un-
derneath, her horn penetrating the
leopard's body. The leopard roared
with pain as it fell to the ground
bleeding freely from its double wound,
and the COW was covered with gashes
from its antagonists claws.
The leopard sprang again on the
back of the COW, but she easily shook
him off. He stood for moment and
then tried to stagger away. The buff
falo made a rush, and. hurting him
to the ground, thrust her horns again
into his helpless body. He offered no
resistance, but rolled over on his side
and died.
A young friend of mine, Jan van

A Grand Sight at a Waterloo.

It was a long wait and I was almost
asleep, half dreaming, when the gen.
tie touch of the shikaree brought me
back to business. He pointed across
the vlei. There was slight noise. A
second or two later the broad horns of
a buffalo bull showed through the
leaves, and then came cow with a
calf. They came to the water and
drank. I did not shoot, as wanted
one of the smaller antelopes. A little
later, as though by signal, Gland, wa
terbuck, koodoo, duiker, wildebeest,
blue wildebeest, reedbuck, impala,
blesbok, oribi, giraffe, and dozens of
other animals too numerous to men,
ton came down to the vlei.
1t was a grand scene; all these
graceful animals, as beautiful as
though they had stepped out Of book
of fairy tales, mingling in perfect
friendship. There was not a quarrel
among them. The big-eyed, aristo-
cratic-looking pookoo rubbed horns
with the stately lechwe as they put
their clean, glistening noses into the
cool, inviting water. I was lost in adj
miration. hated to disturb the beau
tiful scene by shot.
All at once. like an arrow from the
tree above shot the form of leopard
onto the back of buffalo calf. In a
flash there was wild stampede. All
ran but the buffalo COW, the mother of
the calf. When the calf was struck it
fell either dead or unconscious, and
the snarling leopard stood over its

what sight met our eyes! There was
Forget" holding on to bush with
both his hands while one of the young
lions had hold of his foot pulling as
hard as he could in the opposite direc-
ton. Although blood was streaming
from the lions jaws. all of us laughed.
Things went from bad to worse, when
particular friend of "Forget's" got
hold of the lions tail and helped
things by pulling it. Up to this time
the young lion was only eating For
gets" foot in a friendly way and
seemed to enjoy the fact that we all
stood around and looked on, as we
had often done at feeding time.
AS soon as the lions tail was
tugged it turned on its tormentor with
a roar and struck him down with its
paw. Forget" jumped up, drew his
knife, and thrust it into the animals
side, killing it instantly. The poor ma
tive's foot was indeed badly chewed.
Forget said, after his foot had
been dressed, you were friend OF
the young lions. Why did you kill
it?"
"Baas," he answered, 1T is too
much to expect me to continue the
friendship by feeding the lion with
my own foot"
] found out later that Forget" 1iv-
ing up to his reputation, had forgot
ten to feed the cubs, and, one getting
very hungry, and no doubt thinking it
made no difference, started to eat its
foster fathers foot while he was
asleep. The other cub got very quar-
re2some after it lost its brother. I sold
il to an agent of the Antwerp Zoolog-
ical Gardens, where it is believe to
this day.

Mr.. Carter noticed another bear rum
ming off from another part OF the
apiary. He took a shot at it. but must
have missed, as no sign of blood was
found afterward The first bear which
he had wounded soon regained its feet
and got so close to Mr.. Carter as to
strike at him vigorously with one of
it's paws. Mr.. Carter bounded be-
hind an adjacent tree, where he got
in two more shots from his rife be-
fore the bear could reach him. These
bullets put an end to bruin. The bears

an exciting experience with two
honey-loving bears recently. He has a
pack of bear dogs which have been
used principally to guard his bees
against the attacks of bruin. The ken
mel of these dogs is close to the hives,
and no bear cared to venture close to
the spot. A neighbor borrowed the
pack to trail down some bears that
had been giving him trouble and failed

to return the dogs at night. Mr.. Car
ter was awakened about midnight by
a noise which came from his orchard,
where his bee colonies were located.
He quickly OWNED that bear raid
was on. He grabbed a rifle and hur-
ried out of the house toward the
apiary.
He took a sudden backward jump
when a big black bear rose upon its
hind feet from behind beehive and
started toward him. Mr. Carter fired
at the animal at close range. The
bullet wounded bruin and stopped his

good range and then opened fire. The
din was frightful, the thunder of the
hoofs, the swirling dust. the rhythmic
bang of the many rifles, and the
whistling of stray bullets made q veri-
table battle scene. One after anoth-
er we picked out our living targets
and Down they went, the stampeding
mass of life behind falling over them
in a struggling confusion.
At last the tail end of the herds
galloped past, leaving few wound
ed stragglers enveloped in the dust
burdened air. We gave our burning
rifles rest, wiped the CRIME from
our faces and surveyed the results of
our bloody attack.
The Cheetah and Van Keenan,.
The weld was spotted with car
casses, and here and there an animal
struggled in pain from a cruel dis
abling wound. The hundreds of ma
tives with the expedition poured over
the weld and commenced skinning.
The scientists took measurements and
photographs, and by night the hides
were all in camp.
When the bugle blew at meal time
van Keenan, was missing. ques-
toned the natives, but none had any
news of him. We lit huge fires to
guide him to the camp. There was no
possibility of his being lost, for he was
a Boer and knew the weld like a KAT
fir. All night we expected him to turn
UP at the camp. The lions and leop-
ards roared, the hyenas laughed,
jackals snarled and a thousand dis
NAL bowls made night fiendish, as the
animals fought over the carcasses left
after our hunt.
Daylight broke on a disappointed
camp and at once searching parties
were formed to find the missing hun
ter. 1 made for the spot where I had
seen the giraffes before the hunt,

in that direction to get a shot at

tab across it. Of course, l can only
guess what happened.

one cartridge expended from the mag

cheetah's breast. The animal had been
wounded at close quarters evidently,

fore he could get in another shot.
Poor van Keenan, was frightfully
chewed. The cheetah had died in the

The Giraffe = Awkward and
Harmless.

II is peculiar that such savage
brutes as leopards and cheetahs are
marked much like the giraffe, the
most awkward and harmless animal
! in Africa. At one time the giraffe
was. common down as far as Cape
Town, but now it is found no farther
south than the Transvaal. Gradually
it is being driven into the interior.
The giraffe makes its home in the
desert country, being able to go for
long periods without drinking. There
are large herds on the Kalahari des-
ert, where they are practically safe
from the hunters rifle. CRATES are
also very common in the country to
which Mr.. Roosevelt is going. They
are easy hunting Before the passage
of the game protection laws l have
seen one party bring down 20 giraffes
in a day.
1t is easy to form an idea of the
CRATES awkwardness when you take
into consideration that the animal is
from is to 20 feet high, measuring
from the ground to its head, and it is
mostly legs and neck, the legs being
longer than the neck. When giraffe
drinks it must spread it's legs out an
an angle of about 30 degrees to lower
it's body sufficiently to reach the wa
ter.
The favorite method of the Beers in
hunting the giraffe is to ride it down
on horseback. This affords great sport
and a good horse will overtake one OF
these animals after long chase. The
giraffe presents a peculiar spectacle
when it is running. The body seems
to gain on the head, which waves to
and fro and is jerked into position at
every second step. Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to depend solely on shooting for
his giraffe sport, as the country he
will visit in is not favorable to horse
hunting.
A source OF amusement to the aver
age European sportsman who visits
East Africa is hunting the wart hog
Although the Africander does not care
about hunting this animal, the Euro
pean seems to delight in it, perhaps
on account of the animals ferocioua
and ugly appearance. 1t is armed with
pair of formidable tusks which IT
can use with great effect on either
horse or man when 1t is cornered. ]
have seen native gored so badly by
one that he died in an hour.
Each African colony has game laws
based on the prevalence or scarcity OF
certain species of animals. Where
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to hunt It costs
$3.50 for a huntsman's license. This
license under the British East Afri-
can game laws gives the following
privileges:
Each white man-rif1e hunter-that
hunts in East Africa, is allowed to kill
two of each of the following animals:
Elephants (tusks weighing not less
than 60 pounds, rhinoceri, hippopot-
ami, zebra, oryx, callotis oryx bestia,
koodoo, topi, Neumann's hartebeest,
colobus and other fur monkeys, aard-
varks, cheetahs, aardwolf, marabout
and egret. One of each Of the fol-
lowing: Buffalo, Gland, sable, antelope,
