During her expedition, which she made In company with Sir Charles Ross and Mr. Barnes, the African ex plorer. and his wife, Mr*. Dalziel In cluded In her “bag,” among a large quantity of smaller game, an elephant, a buffalo, two rhinoceroses, three hip popotamuses and seven lions. “ I went for my health, really," she said to an Interviewer, “ for I was compelled to lead an open-air life." Mrs. Dalziel described how she ! missed death hy inches In an encoun ter with a wounded rhinoceros. “ One day,” she said, “we were Walk- tag down one o f the jungle tracks, almost like subway tunnels, which run from water hole to water hole, when we came on a big animal asleep. _ir Charles Roas went on ahead mid fired at and wounded It. and It went crash ing away Into the jungle. I was some little way behind. and suddenly I beard, scarcely a yard away, the noise of the rhinoceros, which had gone round In a circle and was coming back ttf the track again. . “ I went behind a bush, but the an imal also had the same Idea, and tt crashed right past me und caught me with Its side, and I and two natives who were with me were knocked over ! Into a thorn bush. Except for some cuts about the face I waa unhurt. Most probably the rhinoceros did not see me.” Here Sir Charles Ross broke In, say ing: “There is only one tiling that Mrs. Dalziel has been entirely deprived of In her composition. That Is— fear. When a Mon suddenly upi>ears a few feet away from you and Mrs. Dalziel says, ‘What a beautiful lion!’— well, there you are.” “ It w as!" exclaimed Mrs. Dalziel. és&â : cigarettes for l O c t s from on« b a g of HE A T E R S - Get Yours Now the most inexpensive aiJ tight.
