papers we never say anything that anybody dont like but w we 0 soon hear of it and everybody is telling us about it if however once in in a while we happen to say a good thing we never hear of that nobody seems to notice that we may pay a man a hundred compliments and give him a dozen puffs and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness and never thinks of it never thinks it does him any good but if we should say anny alny anything thing this man dont like or something that he considers is a reflection on him or his character see how buic quickly kly kiy he flares up and gets mad about it all of our evils are duly charged to us but we never apparently get any credit for what good we do SCENES WIT wie IT TICIE TIGERS nS in june 1866 tired with the monotony of a small station and disgusted

was on this wise convinced of the fact that the tigers were allon ailon all ali on themore the move in thesus himalayan forests and that there was no use in seeking for them in their recognized haunts we determined to pene penetrate trat e into the valley which lies inside of the other mountain range between that and the lowest true himalayan chain and which is known as the dun I 1 may be allowed to extain ex dain pain though it has nothing to do particularly with my story that from the ganges at eastward to a place called Laid hang a distance of about seventy miles there runs a comparatively low broken range of hilis hilt s I 1 in a appearance ppe arance exacts exact y simlar simi ar to the alwa ik range west of the ganges and evidently a continuation of that range which is cut in two by the ganges at Hur dwar these hills appe appear arto to be quite distinct in geological formation and in flora from the true himalayan range and to a mue muc much lesser hIesser extent their fauna nuna is dinn diff different brent hrent also between the outer range and the true aimala lies a chain of offal val wal eys ays of greater or ess extent of which the beyra dun inside of the 1 italika west of the ganges is the largest and best known and the dun the scene of my story the most easterly the latter is drained by the ram bai ganga and its insignificant tributary the sona the sun was almost setting on the evening of our entry into the dun arwe as we were going along the bank of the sona towards camp still some little distance off very much down in our luck for we had bad got nothing but a few F all day I 1 saw some vultures sitting on a tree some five hundred yards or so to our left and we went to have a look at the object of so su suggestive g cestive a concourse we soon put up a ti

night was stallie stal stai lit liL or dismounting 0 from our how dahs our first care wa was s to get some grass together on which to have the body of the tho tigress thrown off the pad so as not to risk injury to the skin we were both standing by intending superintending super the operation and the tigress had been slid off the pad on to the grass when to our astonishment and terror horror would perhaps be a better word she slowly raised herself up on her fore ies legs les and turned her head towards us we were of course unarmed and so keeping a steady front to our foe I 1 we retreated calling for our rifles in the direst of funks bunks all this while and it seemed an age the tigress did not ellan eilan change ge her position and did not raise herself on her hind legs when rifles came and lights we cautiously approached where she was and found her stretched at length again after resist resisting n entreaties to put another shell into her to make sure we at length summoned up

the tautening of this rope raised the fore part of the tigress and her head was vas slewed towards us by a swerve on the part of the elephant who then stood quite still and thus retained the body of the tigress in the startling position the scene at the death of tigress no 2 might have easily been a more serious one she was marked down into a thick mala bush and was with some difficulty be beaten
