hand From the tents and white-topped
wagons we could see the game grazing on
the open flat, or among the scattered wiz
ened thorns.
The day after reaching this camp we rode
out, hoping to get either rhno or giraffe; ;
we needed additional specimens OF both for
the naturalists, who especially wanted cow
giraffes An hour or two after leaving the
tents we made out on the skyline couple
OF miles to our left some objects which scru-
tiny showed to be giraffe. There were seven
giraffes, medium-sized BULL four cows and
two young ones; and, funnily enough, the
young ones were by far the shyest and most
suspicious. | did not want to kill a bull un-
less it was exceptionally large; whereas I
did want two COWS and a young one, for the
museum.
A Tame Herd of Giraffes.
When quarter of mile away dismount-
ed, threw the reins over Tranquillty's head
-whereat the good, placid old fellow at once
began grazing-and walked diagonally to-
ward the biggest cow, which was ahead of
the others. The tall, handsome, ungainly
creatures offered such big targets that 800
yards was a fair range for them. At 200
yards fred at the big cow as she stood al

tail. The bullet struck fair and she was off
at hurried, clumsy gallop. gave her an
other bullet, but it was not necessary, and
down she went.
The second COW, fine young heifer, was
now cantering across my front, and with
two more shots got her; the sfarp-pointed
bullets penetrating well, and no: splitting
into fragments, but seeming to cause rend-
ing shock.
met with much more difficulty in trying
to kill the young one needed. I walked
and trotted mile after the herd The old
ones showed little alarm, standing again and
again to look at me. Finally shot one OF
the two young ones, at 40 long PAGES, while
cow stood much nearer, and the bull only
800 yards off,
But this was not all The four survivors
did not leave even after such an experience,
but stayed in the plain, not far off, for sew
eral hours, and thereby gave Kermit a
chance to do something much better worth
while than shooting them. His shoulder
was sore, and he did not wish to use rifle,
and so was devoting himself to his camera,
which one of his men always carried. With
this, after the exercise Of much patience, he
finally managed to take a number of pictures
OF the giraffe, getting within so yards Of the
bull
Deep in Prehistoric Thought"
Nor were the giraffe the only animals that
showed tameness bordering on stupidity
Soon afterward we made out three rhino,
mile away. They were out in the bare plain,
alternately grazing and enjoying noontide
rest; the bull by himself, the COW with her
calf quarter of mile off.
There was not scrap of cover, but we
walked up wind to within $50 yards of the
bull. Even then he did not seem to see us,
but the tick-birds, which were clinging to
his back and Sides gave the alarm, and he
trotted to and fro, uncertain as to the cau,c
of the disturbance If Heller had not had
his hands full with the giraffes might have
shot the bull rhino but his horn and bulk of
body, though fair, were not remarkable, and
l did not modest him.
Next day, when Kermit and l were out
alone with our gun-bearers we say, another
rhino, BULL with stubby horn. This
4hino, like the others of the neighborhood,
was enjoying his MONDAY rest in the open,
miles from cover. Look at him." said Ker-
init, standing there in the middle of the
African plain, deep in prehistoric thought"
Indeed the rhinoceros does seem like

would not have been out of place in the milo
Gene; but nowadays he can only exist at all

rest of the world, for good or for evil, has
gone forward.
Bagging Fine Rhino.
At last day came when saw rhino
with big body and good horn. We had
been riding for couple OF hours; the game
was all around us. Two giraffes stared at us
with silly curiosity rather than alarm; twice
l was within range of the bigger one. At
last Bakhari. the gun-bearer, pointed to a
gray mass on the plain, and glance through
the glasses showed that it was rhino lying
asleep with his legs doubled under him. He
proved to be big bull, with a front horn
nearly rs inches long.
l was anxious to try the sharp-pointed
bullets of the little Springfield rifle on him;
and Cuninghame and l, treading cautiously,
walked up wind straight toward him, our
horses following hundred yards behind.
He was walked by the tick-birds, and twist
ed his head to and fro, but at first did not
seem to hear US, although looking in our d-
rection. When we were a hundred yards off
he rose and faced us, huge and threatening,
head up and tail erect. But he lacked heart
after all. fred into his throat and instead
of charging, he whipped round and was off
at gallop, immediately disappearing over
a slight rise.
We ran back to our horses, mounted, and
galloped after him. He had long start,
and, though evidently feeling his wound, was
going strong; and it was some time before
we overlook him. l tried to galop along
side, but he kept swerving; SO jumping Off

put nine bullets in him. In all we galloped
four miles after this wounded rhino bull.
When was walking up to this rhino,
there were in sight two CRATES. several
wildebeest bulls, and herds of hartcbcest,
topi, zebra and the big and little gazeles.
Running Down Cheetahs.
Once Kermit went with Tarlton. and was
as usual lucky with cheetahs, killing two.
Tarlton was an accomplished elephant, buff
falo and rhino hunter, but he preferred the
chase Of the lion to all other kinds OF sport;
and il lions were not to be found he liked
to follow anything else he could gallop on
horseback. Kermit was also a good and

as these canter the other way. With one
accord the whole troop may then halt and
stare again at the object they suspect; then
off they all 60 at headlong run, kicking
and bucking, tearing at full speed in one d.
rection, then suddenly wheeling in semi
circles so abrupt as to be almost zigzags, the
dust flying in clouds; and two bulls may sud-
denly drop to their knees and for moment
or two fight furiously in their own peculiar
fashion. By careful stalking Kermit got
some good pictures of the wildebeest in spite
of their wariness.
A Lion Hunt in the Koppies
The last day at this camp Kermit, Tarlton
and spent on 12-hours' lion hunt. Earlv
in the afternoon we reached our objective.
some high koppies, broken by cliffs and COW
cred with brush. We Immediately found
fresh beds of lions, and one regular lair.
Again and again, as we beat cautiously
through the bushes, the rank smell of the
beasts smote our nostrils. At last as we sat
at the foot of one koppie, Kermit spied
through his glasses lion on the side of the
koppie opposite, the last and biggest, and up
it we climbed.
On the very summit was mass of cleft
and broken powders, and while on these
Kermit put up two lions from the bushes
which crowded beneath them l missed
running shot at the lioness, as she made off
through the brush. He probably hit the
lion, and, very cautiously, with rifles at the
ready, we beat through the thick cover in
hopes to find it; but in vain. Then we be-
gan hunt for the lioness, as apparently she
had not left the koppie.
Soon one of the gun-bearers, who was
standing on big stone, peering under some
thick bushes. beckoned excitedly to me, and
when jumped up beside him he pointed at
the lioness. In a second made her out
The sleek, sinister creature lay not 10 PAGES
off, her sinuous body following the curves of
the rock as she crouched flat looking
straight at me. A stone covered the lower
part, and the left of the upper part, OF her
head; but saw her two unwinking green
eyes looking into mine.
As she could have reached me in two
springs, perhaps in one, l wished to shoot
straight; but had to avoid the rock which
covered the lower part of her face, and more
over fired little too much to the left The
bullet went through the side of her head,
and in between the neck and shoulder, in

wound. However, it knocked her off the
little ledge OH which she was lying, and in
stead of charging she rushed up hill.
We promptly followed, and again clam
bered up the mass of powders at the top.
Peering over the one on which had climbed
there was the ioness directly at its foot, not
IL feet away, lying flat on her belly; could
only see the aftermost third of her back. I
at once fired into her spine; with appalling
grunts she dragged herself few PAGES down

Just before it reached cover A cheetah with

others they ran down.
For quarter of mile no animal in the
world has cheetah's speed; but he cannot
last. When chased the cheetahs did not
spring, but contented themselves with gal

the earth, and were shot without their max
ing any attempt to charge. But wart-hoy
boar which Kermit ran down the same day
and shot with his revolver did charge, and
wickedly.
The oldest Of All Antelopes.
While running one of his cheetahs Ker-
NIT put up two old widebeest bulls, and they
joined in the procession, looking as if they
too were pursuing the cheetah; the cheetah
ran first, the two bulls, bounding and switch
ing their tails, came next, and Kermit, racing
in the rear, gained steadily.
Wildebeest are the oGdest in nature and
conduct, and in many ways the most inter-
esting, of all antelopes. There is in their
temper something queer, fiery, eccentric,
and their actions are abrupt and violent.
A single bull will stand motionless with
head raised to stare at an intruder until the
latter is quarter of mile off; then down
goes his head, his tail is dashed up and
around, and off he gallops, plunging kick
ing and shaking his head. He may go
straight away he may circle round, or even
approach nearer to, the intruder; and then
he halts again to stare motionless, and per-
haps to utter his grunt of alarm and defiance.
