that lowered there over the north end
Of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming Of vel

the twittering of bird. Not leaf

lifeless. 1t was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was nooutime,

doubtless halt at John Moreland's

Five minutes passed, five minutes

he was being surrounded by kinsmen
of the dead mountaineer. He looked
up into their ashen, angry faces, and
they cursed him. Big and gripping
brown hands were placed upon him !;
several rifles were turned upon him.
He arose and spread out his arms, and

JUNGLE MONARCH "BlG GAME"
Tiger Can Always Be Relied On to
Furnish. Sport for the Most Ad-
venturous Hunter.

The tiger is one variety Of game
which is in no danger of extermina-
tion. Tigers have been hunted for
centuries. They furnished sport to
the ancient Romans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators aud
in the open field. Before that, they
were the game of great Egyptian mon
archs. It Is doubtful whether primi-
tive man was able to kill the tiger ut
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
game for the wealthy sportsmen who
hunt them with the great double-bar-
relied English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crowd Of beaters us-
ually assists at the sport. and drives
the tiger into the open. though occa-
sionally he Is killed by watching at the
carcass Of an animal he has killed. Oc-
casionally tiger kills hunter, but
not often. In India and also In Korea
many unarmed and half-naked natives
are killed by tigers ever year. In the
war between men and tigers 1t is hard
to say which is winning.
Tigers are found In almost nll parts
of the continent of Asia, from the trop-
ical jungles of 1ndlu 10 the almost arc
tic heights Of the mountains in 81
IBERIA and northern China.
