Edumunds, manager of the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative association. Prices paid last Thanksgiving ranged from 38 to 40 cents a ture." Lewis and Clark's "magnificent adventure" took place more than a hundred years ago. Since that time the American wilderness has been conquered and there remains In It few, If any, spots which the white man has not trod. What Is true of America is almost equally true of the rest of the world for the restlessness and adventure-seekinspirit of the Caucasian has driven him on and on until there are few places on earth into which he has not penetrated. This does not mean, however, that, even in this modern day when It would seem that our civilization h:is spread everywhere, there are no bits of terra Incognita which He far from the beaten paths and which still offer chances for dangerous adventure to those affljeted with the "itching foot." Witness the case of a young American, the lone hero of a modern "magnilicent adventure," who has told the romnntlc story of his wanderings "out back of beyond" in a new book.

Eugene Wright Is his name, twenty-fou- r years his age, and he was a student at Columbia university until one day when The odors of cinnamon and cloves from Ceylon drifted from a musty doorway; farther on, the strong aroma of Brazilian coffee filled my nostrils.

One night when the dhow was tied up to the shore, Wright sat watching with h's rifle across his knee. Suddenly the moon came out and 1 saw the head and shoulders of an enormous tiger crouched at the water's edge. I was chilled with fright. The gun seemed no larger and of no more use than a burned match; the eighteen-od- d feet between me and that massive head shrank to a meeting; and the eyes, which now glowed In circles, held a hypnotism that turned me Into an agony of rigid flesh. I might have awakened Mohammed. I might have cut the mooring rope and poshed out Into the lagoon; but I was too frightened to release a muscle; frightened lest the tiger, In one tremendous leap, should fall upon the the dhow and rip me to pieces. It seemed hours before my courage returned. My fingers tightened upon the gun, my forefinger felt the trigger. Suddenly 1 became as cool and steady as If I were about to shoot a rabbit. I cocked both hammers noiselessly, drew a bead and fired between the two eyes. A tremendous roar and splash stunned me. Automatically I had reloaded, and I again emptied both barrels Into the frenzied mass of boiling water and roaring tiger. You have no Idea of the terror In a tiger's roar. It drags the blood from one's veins by the quart, and seems to dislocate every bone In one's body. It Is volcanic, Immense and to all that lives. It was the utterly devastating am roar of a tiger, I convinced, that announced the creation of hell. Before I could reload a third time he had disappeared Into the darkness with long crashing bounds and I was left quivering excitement. with face-to-fa- nerve-rackin- ever-enlargi- hair-trigg- And the next day they took up the trail of the tiger and deep In the jungle found him dead. Then with the praises of the natives for having delivered them from this terror ringing In his ears, the young Aniericnn returned to Calcutta, there to get mixed up in a lively little religious riot between the fanatic Moslems and the equally fanatic Hindus. Escaping with his llf.; from that, he investigated the swarming streets of Calcutta In the blazing sun until a sudden and unexpected collapse sent him to the hospital for nine days with the dengue fever. During the heut wave that had struck him down, tever and disease ran riot through the city and four hundred natives died every week. But some Providence pulled the young American through and as soon as he was able to stagger away from the hospital, he took ship for Rangoon, where he "wandered around the Chinese quarter looking for trouble," and. falling to find it, went op to Singapore, "city of blood and pearls." All afternoon I honeycombed the town, running Into weddings, quarrels, gaudy funerals, and all manner of activities typical of Chinese life. One beautiful funeral stretched through the winding streets for blocks Some of the men were dressed In atlff collars and strnw hats, all were having a wonderful holiday and a discordant brass band played "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight." I followed the procession for an hour, hut tt went around and around the town, getting nowhere. - But though he nearly died of exposure and fever on the beautiful Island of Flores, the big thrill of his life was still abend. That came when he arrived In Borneo, "the darkest jungle on the face of the earth."
