Fought Leopard with Knife.

Not long after we reached the hunt
ing ground cry from one OF the
party took us to deep dongas
where q strange sight met our eyes.
The missing man was lying there
across the dead body OF his pony. and
a few yards away was the carcass Of
a female leopard Although the Arab
was not dead, he was I'm very bad
way. for by the appearance Of his
leg | could tell II was broken. and.
added to this. one OF his arms was
badly chewed.
The wounded man was slung across
a pony and taken to the camp. When
he was revived he told Of his mlshap.
lie was riding after the giraffes
with the rest of us when all of sud
den his horse went head-flrst into the
donga and broke its front legs. The
rider was rendered unconscious from
the impact with the hard earth. A
little later, when he recovered, he
found his own leg was broken and
seeing the condition of his steed he
cut its throat to put II out of misery.
He saw the hunters returning 20 the
camp. but could not attract them, for
the thunder OF the horses hoOfs
drowned his cries. As night came
on he grew weak and fell asleep.
How long he slept he could not
say, when something soft touched his
face and then a heavy weight bore
down on him. lie opened his eyes and
was Mortified to see a huge leopard
with one paw on his chest, whilst II
was smelling around his mouth, evi-

great presence of mind he kept still
| and the leopard went TO the pony and
started eating It's rump.
After indulging IT'S appetite Il roared
| for It's mate and was answered. The
Arab feeling that his only chance
of escape was to kin the leopard while
it was alone, gently drew his hunting
knife and watched his opportunity to
take the leopard off rs guard TO give
1t a heart thrust. For some time the
animal kept eating the horse and
roaring alternately, and then it turned
| its attention TO the man. II stood
over him and glared into his eyes.
blazing with a green yellow glare Of
phosphorus.
A roar came from the distance and
the leopard threw its head up and
| answered Like flash he thrust
| his blade into the throat of the
leopard, which cut on its roar with a
howl of pain and seized his arm, which
was already driving a second blow at
| the animals heart For a second the
| leopard held on and clawed the mans
| bare breasts Then feeling its weak
ness, 1t staggered and, crawling away
| a few yards, roared for its mate till
II died The Arab, overcome by his
weakness. fell into unconsciousness
and knew nothing more till he was re-
vived in the camp.
II is such adventures as these that
attract the man who has some OF the
| primitive instincts, who loves danger
and will gamble his life against a
lions. Just for the joy of feeling the
thrills of physical supremacy.

that several National league club own
