monotony of it smote Perrin's watchfulness
with an irresistible suggestion of slumber.
He had almost succumbed, when his fancy
pictured a tigers claw shining LUMINOSITY in
the darkness. In an effort to dissolve the
vision he opened his eyes to their full width.
With regained consciousness they stared at
that which was not dream,-the luminous
tigers claw moving slowly and silently
toward his position. Now, as Perrin ex-
plains, it's all very we'll to make up your
mind beforehand what you are going to do
in circumstances clear to your understand
ing, but when the thing that happens bears
quite differently. That was why he did not
grasp his pistol and blaze away at the luni-
nous tigers claw, apparently guided by an
invisible hand. Instead he lay still and
watched, saw it draw closer, hover for
short space above his head, and then descend
lightly on his breast. He regarded himself as
having been completely fascinated by its
mysterious appearance.
If under an optical spell, it was suddenly
broken by a scream. The tigers claw was
snatched from his breast, and dark form
sped for window. At a bound Perrin came
off the bed, and reached the window to make
a grab for we'll oiled limb which slipped
snake fashion from his grasp. Through the
window went the dark figure, with Perrin in
hot pursuit.
AS Perrin 1eaped across the veranda he
was conscious of Miss Mansels terrified
presence; but he did not halt for explana-
tons. The form in advance plunged into
the jungle, and Perrin followed, guided by
CLEANS of the tigers claw light. Into what
manner of danger such chase was likely to
lead, Perrin neither thought nor cared. 1t
was enough that he seemed to be gaining on
the fugitive, had in fact almost caught up
with him, when the other stumbled and fell
with splash. Perrin came to the brink of a
pond, from whose Shiny waters the form of
the other man rose to hurl back anathema.
"Jai, jail Iara!" was flung in defiant
note vibrating through the jungle.
1t ended in cry of anguish. Two streams

MANSEL'S bungalow was on the hem of
AvA the jungle, and his room, built as a
wing, touched it closely. Perrin had not
long outstretched himself on Manse1s bed,
with pistol tucked under his pillow, when
his senses became acute to the nocturnal
grand opera of an Indian jungle; such a cho-
rus of innumerable creatures, in which the
tuneful croaking of frogs and the discordant
yelping of jackals formed the leading mo-
tive. On the veranda ran back and forth
the pitterpatter of little feet. Things hoped
and scratched on the bare floor. The whir
of swiftly flying creatures swept in and out
through the open windows. Presently what
might easily have been mistaken for the
cry of an infant in distress walled through
the general theme, and instantly, as if at the
stroke of a conductors baton, all other
voices ceased. Somewhere on that dark
scene strolled My Lord the Panther. His
voice rose and fell, scarcely leaf stirred;
then he passed on, and the chorus swelled
again. So through the night hours until the
