Crowding the ferocious beast into the bottom of the net, to be

HEN Major Jack Allen saunt
ers into an Asiatic or African
jungle with a coil of rope over
his shoulder and an exaggerated but
terfly net dragging along behind him,
who can blame the man-eating wild
lions, tigers, leopards and panthers
for being interested?
Instead of

pussy. Come along and play with

that curiosity is cv:n more highly de
veloped jn a wiki animal than in a
human being. For generations these
wild and fetoeious jungle beasts have
been hunicd by men with guns and a

cider ones know a gun when they see
if, and well remember the pungent
smell of burning powder. Why shoal J
