FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
Tiger and Crocodile In . Battle In the
Water.


In India a native went TO batbe in a
ravine. He was in the water up to
his neck when q tiger on the bill
above gave a leap toward its prey.
But the tiger had not calculated that.
since his victim was much lower than
himself. leap of the right strength
for horizontal range would carry
him far beyond his mark: consequent
ly he fell some ten fee. on the other
side.
Now, II happeEed t'fsi hungry croc-
odile was .. the same time drawing a
bee line under water toward the ra-
tive. When the crocodile had almost
come upon bis prey be- heard a splash
Just In front and made dash. bring
ing his enormous jaws down on tho
tigers paw.
The bather nearly tainted with
fright when he saw the tiger fall iuio
the water. and for few moments lie
could not understand why the crea-
ture did not devour him. Why did he
persist IN keeping one of his paws un-
der water. beating savagely with the
other? And the water turned red.
Then all ar once the assaults of the
tiger became more furious. and his
sgrowls developed into roars. The huge
kail of a crocodile reared up out OF
the water. The obvious intention was
10 pull the tiger under water and
drown him, and the tiger. understand
Ing this purpose. tried TO frustEte 1t
by beating the snout Of the crocodile
with his other paw. But the srGuS
was too far down. and he left much
Of his force on the surface Of the wa
ter. His struggles became more and
more feeble, and at length be disap-
peared altogether. only cluster or
bubbles remaining TO show where he
had been.
His fight, however, had been q game
one, not entirely in vain. for when
the bodies OF the two beasts finally
came to the surface 1t was seen that
the tiger had literally torn away the
whole front Of the crocodile's face and
had blinded 1t so that its victory was
q useless 0ne.-Chicago Record Herald
