the caravan set forth for what was
believed to be the last journey.
And Umballa's spy fastened away.
All day long they wound in and out,
over and down the rolling mounds OF
sand, pausing only once, somewhere
near 4 O'clock. when they dismo,nted
for space to enjoy a bite to eat and a
dish of tea. Then on again. through
the night. making about sixty miles in
all. At dawn they came upon a we'll
and here they decided TO rest till sunset.
Beyond the well. some twenty-five
miles, lay the low mountain range over
which they must pass To the sea. At
the foot Of these hills stood a small
village. which they reached about 10
O'Clock that night
They found the village wide awake
The pariah dogs were bowling. And on
making inquiries ii was learned that a
tiger had been proving about for three
or four nights and that they had set

ana Bruce at once assumed charge. The
old zest returned with all its vgor and

decided to join the expedition. though
Pundlta knew nothing of arms.
Now this village was the home Of the

about they dominated the villagers
They were returning from a foraging

the trap cage with the tiger inside. Very
