fpHREE elephants stood In the
driveway, one behind the
Other, and on their backs were
trapped huge canopied cnuirs.
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.

But Id tho, afternoon of the lust
day, when we were just a few

a moment listening, but the growl
wasn't repeated.
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

meat, but he made a nice living
selling their teeth to the natives
to wear as charms.
"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."
