vironment in which they live they are likely
to attribute it to the mysterious powers of
the Jungle gods For a moment. in the
gathering curtain of darkness, it seemed even
to me - and | am not superstitious that
some demon might have taken possession of
this furiously unquelled leopard. Her snarls
and roars filed the tropical twilight with
unearthly sound, and she continued to hurl
her powerful bulk against the bending bars of
the cage with undiminished fury.
And then. suddenly, she ceased moving.
For no reason at all she stood stock still.
And she gave me through those crude log bars
the most baleful and hateful glance have
ever had from any animal. Ali the pent-up
fury and anger of the jungle was in her eyes
during that brief moment in the dusk as she
stood utterly still and glared at me.
But that one moment was all needed to
disperse Ais demons from my mind. 1t was
the first time the leopard had not been
twisting and writhing and fighting. the first
time had had good look at her. And that
one look was sufficient to explain Fireball's
strange actions.

and the result is a perfect prison for a wild

But watching Firebal's tremendous and
powerful struggle to break loose made me

didn't want to lose her Nor did want her
bursting suddenly through bars into my camp
and tearing the sides out OF some of my boys
or myself
So drove some spikes home myself and it
wasn't until the last one held the last log
securely in place that rested more COM
fortably. As I've said, had never seen
leopard fight captivity so savagely, and unless
Fireba soon ceased her tremendous efforts
to break out of the cage there was no telling
what might happen.

Ais talk began to get me, Dusk was

it comes swiftly, like a black net that sud-
denly drops from nowhere and shuts out the
light. The sun drops startlingly over the
horizon and night comes quickly with its

I'd never seen leopard like her myself.
She was a beautiful specimen of the clouded
variety, big and sleek and perfect, a hundred
and fifty pounds of feline fangs and claws.
But she was more savage than any leopard Id
ever gazed at, and I've gazed at plenty. I've
even seen one fight to the death with huge

and ten to one the leopard will come out on
top. Wicked fangs and claws, terrific driving
force and muscles and an indomitabe spirit
and fierce will. make it the most savage and
feared of all jungle fighters.
Coupled with this innate ability to battle
is mean streak in the leopard which makes
him the deep-dyed villain of the Malayan
forests. A well fed tiger. for instance, will not
go out of his way to pick a fight. He will go
peacefully on about his business seek his
lair, and snooze comfortably until heis hungry
again. But leopards kill for the sheer pleasure
of killing. A leopard will 60 full half mile
out of his way for the pure JOY of knocking
over an antelope with one blow of powerful
forepaws. If he feels sufficiently mean at the
time he may even seek battle with three
hundred pound thirty-foot- long python
There is nothing too big for him to attack,
and rarely anything strong enough to Quell
him.
All of which makes this story of Fireball
news. For Fireball, as dangerous and willy
clouded leopard as ever laid eyes on. sudden
ly. and in the space of thirty seconds, became
as docie and drowsy as any house cat.

showed the actual capture of Fireball. But |
have never told the aftermath of what to me
was the most thrilling of all my captures in
more than twenty years of bringing wild
animals back alive.
Freball was clouded leopard. There are
three distinct types of leopards - black
spotted and clouded. Probably in ZOOS and
circuses you have seen plenty of spotted
leopards, and few black ones. But the
couded are by far the most rare. Even the
sakai, the natives who live in the Malayan
jungles, seldom see one of the clouded kind

with the dense jungle foliage, that it is almost
impossible to catch glimpse of one moving
even at a distance of mere fifty yards.
Which is why when finally captured Fireball
was so delighted.
caught her in a tree "a rare place to
catch a leopard. The usual method is to
capture them in baited log trap beside the
jungle trail.
But Fireball, after l had been on her trail
through the jungle mud for hours, suddenly
climbed a tree and left me with the problem
of getting her down. shot the limb out from
under her with bullets, and had my native
boys catch her in an immensely strong wire
net as she fell.
Having tangled her in the net carried her
back to camp, and successfully put her in
leg cage I had prepared, the real leopard
manifested herself. She Immediately earned
Tor herself the name of Fireball. There was
no other word to describe her. She literally
enanated fire. Her eyes blazed, her snake
like tail seemed like wind blown shoulder
