antelope, had severed the rope
or weakened it. And Ali may
have been right. For it is
hard to believe that even so
powerful an animal as that
ornery anoa could have snap
ped a rope as stout as the one
we used in tying him to the
stake.
In Abject Terror
Ironically enough, a few days
later I found Little Tough Guy
cringing in a corner Of his stall
in abject terror. Not many
yards away there was an open
crate in which I had housed
porcupine. This harmless little
fellow-he weighed exactly seven
poundS-waS rattling his quillS
in the manner characteristic Of
his species. L. T. G. trembled
all over, his legs positively
shaking as the porcupine went
through these innocent maneu-
verS. The anoa was struggling
to get as far awav as possible
from the placid little creature
that so obviously filled him with
fright.
This gave me an idea. There
after whenever Little Tough
Guy got tough I placed a por-
cupine near him. Almost in
simultaneously I would get re-

made for the scene (yelling to
the boys to join me) Little
Tough Guy poised himself for
another assault.
SeIf-Defense
The nilgai, in self-defense,
prepared to do a little charging
himself. It looked like a head
on collision between a big
freight locomotive and a mar
row-gauge switch engine. But
the anoa swerved adroitly to
one side as before, again strik-
ing the foe amidshipS, but this
time with terrific force. His
horns buried themselves in the
antelope's belly.
Then I witnessed one of the
Strangest sights of my whole ca.
reer. The anoa, with the buck
impaled on his horns, lifted the
enemy straight upward-an al
most incredible performance
for so small an animal-and
then shook himself free from
his burden.

rattling Of quills or not. For
L. T. G., who had vanquished
a buck antelope nearly twice
his own weight, was scared to
death of anything that looked
like a porcupine. I could have
frightened him with a handful
Of quillS stuck in a sponge.
Some months later I deliv-
cred Little Tough Guy and his
female companion to DR.. Horn
aday, who was delighted with
having the first anoas ever
seen alive in America.
I was glad to please the
noted director Of the New York
Geological Park but I secretly
vowed never to handle another
of those pesky creatures. I
changed my mind, however,
when DR.. Penrose, then head
of the Philadelphia Zoo, de-
cided that he also wanted a
pair. I couldn't turn down so
good a friend. The following
year DR.. Penrose had his
anoas. A calf was born to the
female en- route-and this I
sold to DR.. ,Hornaday.
The only anoaS ever seen in
America besides these five are
their deScendantS-and there
haven't been many Of them.

nilgai's belly.
The buck and doe discreetly
kept their distance. They re-
manned as far away from
where Little Tough Guy was
tied as the fences Of the COM
pound permitted. This did not
prevent l.. r. G. from cycling
them wrathfully by the hour
and Snorting his disdain at reg
ular intervals.
One day as I was working
around the compound I heard
one Of the boys frantically call
ing. Waving me toward the

snapped his rope and was at
tacking the buck.

She said doubtfully that it

Dwight beat Lynn, not too
easily. She played a good

Sarah and the polo, player

"I like beating you-by a

Lynn as they left the court and
