Behind the chairs were rolls of bedding and great (olds of canvas tenlliiK and mosquito netting. Moving around near the animals were six nutlve boys, or "bear ers," who Jumped at the orders of the Number One Boy, a tall, dark-skinned fellow of middle age whose authority over his helpers was never questioned. Under his supervision the sacks and boxes of food and ammuni tion were carefully checked over and loaded on three of the boys' backs. The other boys helped Ginglss and Tony and myself to climb up on ths elephants, then they handed up our weapons line big .30-.au rums ana gutn ered up their own bows and ar rows and Ghurka knives and spears. "Teek hal?" the Number One Boy called. "Aehcha," I- replied, and the boy prodded my elephant with the point of his spear to start the safari on Us way. ' QUR luck Was bad during the v four-day hunt, 'or we found nothing to shoot at In all that time except a few wild boars. But Id tho, afternoon of the lust day, when we were just a few hours from the lodge, we sud denly heard a low growl off la our left.

We had gone about 100 yards from the spot where we thought wo had heard the growl when Ginglts, riding directly behind me, let out a yell. The native boys jumped, bringing their weapons into shooting position. (Later my boy told me that yell ing In the jungle was an excel lent way of getting killed. It scared hell out of everybody In the party and amounted to a di rect challenge to any animal within earshot.) But that didn't alter the fact that Ginglss had yelled and tho next thing I knew there was a crashing In the un derbrush and a big, lean streak of brown came hurtling through the air with Its two cluwed puws reaching for Ginglss. At the same time Al's native boy crouched; there was a zinging sound; the tiger twitched violently in mid air, and his leap fell short. But he was within four feet of Gin- giss, and the arrow In his shoulder didn't seem to be troubling him as he crouched for another leap. Then there was a terrific report as Ginglss' .30-. 30 went off, and the tiger leaped a good three feet oil the ground und fell In a heap in the tall grass. I EXAMINATION of the tiger's be much of a prize to take home. The fur was quite thin in spots (very large spots) and Ginglss' bullet had gone through the best part of one side and out the best part of the other. Tho native boy's arrow had cut a jagged hole in the only other really nice sec lion of the skin, so the whole a (fair was rather disappointing. Al's boy, however, told us that there was a man near the lodge who made a business of capturing tigers and leopards just so ' he could get their teeth. He cared neither for their pelts nor their J.

"Well, that's swell," Ginglss said generously. "I oon't car about the pelt anyway. We'll just bring the beast back to the lodge and make a present of him to Yince's neighbor." So we did. We made rather a ceremony of it, in fact, That night, after we had returned to the lodge) and had supper and got cleaned u. . v. , et out for the neighbor' place. Three of the native boya carried the tiger between thein. When we arrived In front of the neighbor's cottage the boys laid down the huge carcass and w called out a greeting to our host. In a few minutes he appeared, tall, bearded fellow with three or four women and a swarm of chil dren at his heels. It was obvious enough that he didn't know what we were there for, and Qlngisfi Instead of letting one of our boya explain the nature of our visit, bent down and opened the jaws of his prostrate tiger, "Teeth teeth!" Ginglss exclaimed. The old fellow stared at Gin glss, then nodded violently with a huge grin.- Obviously he Under stood. He walked up to the tiger, glanced briefly at the pelt, ana bent down to examine the teeth. Slowly his hand went to his lone black beard. He tugged at if thoughtfully for a moment. Then he stood up, puffed out his chest, and glared at us. For fully a min ute he just stured, his glassy black eyes going from Tony to me to Ginglss. Then he rattled oft a line of chatter that would fill half a dozen pages in small script; after which he turned on his heel and disappeared Into his cottage. "What the hell Is this?" Ginglss demanded, turning to the Number One Boy. .' The boy was obviously embar rassed. Ho was the one who had. suggested this neighborly over ture. "Teek na hell Master," tht) boy said. "Sahib say tiger, he so old he teeth no worth damn. He say you shoot tiger so old you shame you self. He say maybe you find tiger dead; some placa. He no tine Yanicee joice." (To Be continued) .
