Ambition Of Big-Game Hunters.

India has produced some of the fin
est big-game hunters in the world.
First they kill deer, then tigers, and
after that they climb into the hills
after the mountain sheep. which ara
the most difficult of all their kind tc
follow and kill. But there is one am.
bition beyond the mountain sheen.
That is the snow leopard. This beau.
tiful creature, white as the SHOWS IL
lives among, is rarely found below a
height of 1000 feet, and is even
there extremely rare. 1t is both wild
and savage, and the natives have a
superstitious fear of it's white coat
and deepgreen eyes. The man who
succeeds in killing a snow leopard
steps into the very first rank OF big
