alarmed the others. They were startled,
but puzzled, and after trotting few rods
turned to stare at the half-seen object of
their alarm.
Rising to my knee shot the big bull in
the throat as with head erect he gazed in
my direction. Off he went with rush, the
others bounding and leaping as they accom-
panied him, and we followed on the blood
spoor. Bakhari and Gouvimali trotted fast

This is the tenth of the fourteen great arti-
cles of African big game hunting and adj
venture by Theodore Roosevelt that are
appearing exclusively every Sunday in
the Capital News. These articles, from
Colonel Roosevelt's own account of his
African expedition, african Game
Trails"-one of the greatest books of big
game hunting and adventure ever written
the Capital News has secured for ex-
elusive publication in the territory it
serves through special arrangements
with Charles Scribner's Sons.
Last week Colonel Roosevelt described his
first and second elephant hunts on Mount
Kenia. A portion of the period that
elapsed between these two hunts he
spent hunting alone on an uninhabited
plain. What befell him there he tells in
today's story; and he also describes the
hunting along the Guaso Nyero that fol-
lowed when the last elephant hunting was
over.
