switchboard for the pOwerhouse line and from it
ran another line out into the compound.
This work took up the best part of the dav, and
when completed he requisitOned a bullock from a
neighboring farmer. Having tethered the bullock
a short rope TO a stake IN the compound he
twisted some metal into a collar round the beasts
neck, and attached the line from the switchboard 70
the collar. Then he watered and salted the ground
round the bullock
Foster surveyed the completion of these proceed
ings with satisfaction If old Stripes only does
come around he smiled, ghost or ordinary tiger

He went back TO the pOwerhOuse TO make sure that

while farther of colony of monkeys broke into

Jungle path as the direction from
which Stripes might be expected.
With one hand on the switchboard.
the knowledge of the force at his
command made his position more
calmly tenable To the keen pitch
OF his ears came the subdued drone
Of the machinery. Soon a little cloud
OF white dust swept down the jungle
path. and Foster fingers tightened
on the switch But the dust cloud
dissolved into nothingness. Appar-
emily created and maintained by
IL own volltiOn, no current of air
followed. The pair OF Jackals, en-
bOldened 10 further adventure,
trotted cautiously toward the closed
tents. Gradually the shadows began
10 lengthen across the compound,
and a hot red glow SuttuSed all
objects.
II was certainly nerve testing
situation. and though Foster had
never before particularly yearned to
see a tiger in its native haunts, he
began TO wish Stripes would put IN
an appearance. BY way of relaXa-
tion he watched the pair of Jackals.
After rambling in and out among
the tents their actions had become
significant. Once or twice they
moved toward the tethered bullock,
and then darted back with suspicious
glanCes cast over their shoulders.
Presently they sat on their launches
and shifted the air in the direction
of Foster 5 ambush. He Judged that
they had discovered his presence in
the clump of bamboos.
In a little while q peahen rose with
a loud Clatter from somewhere in
Fosters vicinity. The JaCkals
promptly turned tail and vanished.
AT the same moment the parrots
ceased their chatter in the tamarind
tree. the monkeys fell into silence.
and an ominous stiffness succeeded.
At the end Of his short rope the
bullock stopped chewing and stared
with frightened eyes toward the
bamboo Clump. The rhythmic pull
sations Of the electric machinery rose
a trihe more distinctly. Foster, Judg-
rs betokened the approach Of Stripes,
