There are which mate only once and are faithful to that single mate until death. There was a lion i the New York Zoo which pined away and died of grief because its mate had' died. Bill, thia second buffalo at the London zoo, waa a monogamous animal of that sort. His mate waa named Lady, a young ana he took no interest in any other. Here, then, in these two neighboring enclosures, occasionally surveying one another across the massive wooden bars, dwelt these two magnificent bull bisons, Punch the sultan, with Bfa harem, Bill with his wife. They had a sort of indifferent contempt . for one another, but never quarreled. one Then, morning, Punch looked over into the adjoining enclosure and beheld Lady in a new light.

Early one mbrning afweek later, however, without preliminary - immediate warning of any sort, there was a tremendous crash, and .the keepers came running. No human eye had seen What happened, but it could have happened only in one way. Punch had retired to the extreme end of his own enclosure, some hundred yards back, and had catapulted himself in full charge against the fence, not with his head alone, but with the full force of his entire body, ill own. ; Now a king of beasts in London has become .the conquering hero, or villain a you choose, of a wild love-draamong- - animals which parallels the hectic '. records of human monarchs like King Davids Henry VIII and the late Sultan Abdul Hamid. This king of beasts is a magnificent tremendous bison of the Westbuffalo, ern plains, pride of the great Zoological Gardens in London. His name is Punch. Though he waa born on the Canadian prairie he possessed the soul of .an Oriental sultan, and hia keepers knew it- - Realijing his polygamous nature, the too directors provided him with a royal harem consisting of three Isabel, wives, three beautiful Helen and Europa,, and when his wives wearied or bored him, docile dancing girl buffaloe were, introduced to fh royal enclosure, just aa the viziers in ancient Baghdad dragged Circassian damsels, willing or unwilling, to the palace of Calif In a nearby enclosure, separated from the royal palace bjrmassive wooden bars, dwelt another huge bull buffalo of quite different morality and temperament.

For this reason, it was not Punch who made the opening attack in the amazing fight that followed. Bill, regarding the now silent mountainous figure which had so violently projected itself into his own private domain "broken into his home" beyowed with rage, pawed the earth and prepared to give battle, while Lady, the cause of the war, stood ternfied in a corner.

Consequently the keepers stood watching outside the enclosure, horrified but fascinated by the amazing conflict. Sometimes the two great bulls ceased fencing, as if by mutual consent, retired to a distance like old knights in armor, and charged each other full tilt, each hoping to stun the other sufficiently to get In a death blow from the aide.

He has no time for the bright lights, and is regarded as the most pious of all the rajahs. But in London it's a far different story. There, when you mention Sir Ham, broad grins rise to uncensored lips, and ribald spirits take up the broken thread of Sir Hani's sad British adventures.
