Continued from First Page.)

uated about three blocks away This insti-
tuition was formerly the pride of Carriage 1t
covers SIX or eight acres, and was filled with
monuments and beautiful vaults amid semi
tropical trees 1t is shut off from the street
by wall of catacombs, in the center of
which is the entrance. The wall of cata-
combs is ;,bout 10 feet thick, Is feet high and
over 400 feet long. From each end OF it
shorter walls of catacombs extended back
into the cemetery, forming a great set OF
pigeonholes, each of which contained a cof-
fin, and the whole formed like the head of
letter 7. This wall of collins was broken in
two by the earthquake at about 10 feet from
the ground, and the upper portion moved in
ward several inches.
1t must have been tilted over, and this
threw ont the slabs which held in the dead,
sealing shut the pigeonhole vaults in which
each coffin lay counted the pigeonholes
in the main wall. There were over 600 OF
them, and, with those in the walls at the
ends, there must have been fully thousand
collins with the dead in them at the time the
earthquake occurred. The wall at one end
was reduced to debris OF bricks and mortar,
of broken wood and bones and flesh. In the
central wall many of the collins were thrown
out and the skulls and bones rolled about
everywhere.
1t was the same in the family vaults Of the
cemetery. These were made very similar to
the catacombs at the ends. each vault being
little fat-roofed house made up OF these
pigeonhoes. Some of the vaults are still in
ruins, and on some OF these are flowers and
wreaths hung up in memory OF the disturbed
departed. At the time that the dead were
exhumed there were SO many that it was
found necessary to burn most OF them to
prevent disease. Others were put back in
the vaults, but. alas, without the quotation,
after life's fitful fever he sleeps WELL"

Immediately afterward there was fresh

caught the loom of their bulky bodies

seemed to make them hesitate, and they fin

In the afternoon at four he and Tarlton
saw the lioness. She was followed by three
three-parts grown young lions. doubtless
her cubs. and without any conceament was
walking across the open plain toward a pool
by which lay the body of wildebeest bull
she had killed the preceding night. The
smaller lions saw the hunters and shrank
back. but the old lioness never noticed them
until they were within $50 yards. Then she
ran back, but Kermit crumpled her up with
his first bullet
He then put another bullet in her. and as
she seemed disabled walked up within so
yards. and took some photos. By this time
she was recovering and, switching her tail
she gathered her hind quarters under her for
a charge: but he stopped her with another
bullet and killed her outright with fourth

game in our immediate neighborhood was
not plentiful and was rather shy. killed
three kongoni out OF herd, at from $50 to
800 PAGES one topi at $50 PAGES, and Rob
erts' gazelle at no. Meanwhile the other
two had killed kongoni and five of the big
gazelles; wherever possible the game being
hallalled in orthodox fashion by the Mahom-
etans among our attendants so as to fit it
for use by their coreligionists among the
porters.
Then we saw some giraffes, and galloped
them to see if there was really big bull in
the lot. They had long start. but Kermit
and Tarlton overlook them after couple of
miles, while l pounded along in the rear.
However, there was no really good bull.
Kermit and Tarlton pulled up, and we
logged along toward the koppies where two
days before | had shot the lioness. killed
big bustard very handsome, striking
looking bird, larger thara turkey, by ratll-
er good shot at 23O yards.
1t was now midday, and the heat waves
quivered above the brown plain. The mir
age hung in the middle distance, and beyond
it the bold hills rose like mountains from a
lake.
Pursuing Big Named Lion.
In the mid-afternoon we stopped at little
pool, to give the men and horses water; and
here Kermits horse suddenly went dead
lame, and we started it back to camp with IA
couple of men, while Kermit went forward
with us on foot as we round the base of
the first koppies. After we had gone a mile
loud shouts called Our attention to one of the
men who had left with the lame horse He
was running back to tell us that they had
just seen big named lion walking along in
the open plain toward the body of zebra
he had killed the night before.
Immediately Tarlton and galloped in the
direction indicated, while the hearth broken
Kermit ran after us on foot, SO as not to miss
the fun: the gun-bearers and saises stringing
out behind him. In a few minutes Tarton
pointed out the lion, splendid old fellow,
heavy male with a yellow and black name !;
and after him we went There was no need
to go fast; he was too burly and too savage
to run hard, and we were anxious that our
hands should be reasonably steady when we
shot; all told, the horses, galloping and can
tering, did not take us two miles.
The lion stopped and lay down behind a
bush; jumping off | took a shot at him at
200 yards, but only wounded him slightly i'll
