Although the tiger usually does its

from this habit. especially If 1t hap
pens to be a mar eater. In the province
Of Nam, in the northern part o. Siam.

wood one afternoon in the jungle. Sud

him by the ankle, threw him over its
back and made for the woods. The
wife. mad with grief and excitement.
followed. After going perhaps 200
yards the tiger stopped. dropped its
victim and began to play with him pre-
cisely as a cat plays with a mouse.
The woman. armed only with n stout
bamboo club, stole up behind the beast
and smote 1t on the neck. BY great
good luck she broke two Of the yer
tebrae and killed the animal instantly.
Then she dragged her senseiess aus

neighbors. The man. although badly
mauled. finally recovered. In token Of
admiration for the woman's bravery
