The native looked very sad and

the road he went.
Several years passed and we
were back in India again. In all
this time Tango never showed the
slightest indication Of having
anything but . loving and quiet
disposition.
One day told q man in the
village near us, that / needed q
new mahout for Tango. The
nnahout had was sick and had
to so up in the mountains. So
this man said he would send me
several natives who were known
to me to be good and kind drivers.
Twas sitting ON me porch wait
ing to interview the mahouts.
Tango was walking aiinlessiy
around the yard. Tapping his ears
and occasionally nibbling on a bit
Of hay. when one Of the appli-
cants for the position entered
the yard.

man, raised his trunk high In.

Down the road the native ran
and after him raced Tango.
