Well toss me the little knife Mine has got too good a to spoil on these husks” “It was very kind of you to climb for the nuts and the wind blowing so hard up there” she said as she handed over the penknife “I am not angry It Is only that I feel tired and I hope I am not going depressed to be—” “No you’re not going to have the or any such thing!

Maybe only one of these African buffaloes How’d he look? — horns?" “I— I didn’t see any It was all shaggy and yellow like the grass and terrible eyes — Oh!" The girl's scream was met by a ferocious snarling roar so deep and prolonged that the air quivered and the very ground seemed to shake “God! — a Hon!” cried Blake the hair on his bare head bristling like a startled animal’s Ho turned squarely about toward the ridge his bow half drawn Ilad the Hon shown himself then Blake would have shot on the Instant As it was the beast remained behind the screening border of grass where he could watch his Intended quarry without being seen in turn The delay He gave Blake time for reflection spoke sharply as It were biting off his words: “Hit out I’ll stop the bluffer” “I can’t Oh I’m afraid!" Again the hidden beast gave voice to his mighty rumfiling challenge Still he did not appear and Blake attempted a derisive jeer: “Hey there louder! We’ve not run yet!

He’s creeping around! See the grass move!" “That’s only the wind It eddies down — God! he is stalking around Trying to take us from behind — curse He him! may get me but I’ll get him too— the dirty sneak!"

Trying to give us the creeps is he? I'll creeps him! ’Frald to show his pretty mug!” Not until the beast had circled half around the glade did his purpose flash With the wariness of upon Blake all savage hunters the animal had marked out the spur of jungle on the north side where he could creep closer to his quarry before leaping from cover damned sneak!"

You think I’d do that!" She made no reply There was a Blake —crouched on one knee pause tense and alert— waited until the sinister wave was advancing Into the point of the Incurved jungle Then he spoke In a low even tone: “Feel If my glass Is there" Her hand reached around and pressed against the fob pocket which he had sewn In the belt of his skin trousers Now slip my club up under “Right on Lick the my elbow — big end nose'll stop a dog or a bull It’s a chance" She thrust the club under his right elbow and he gripped it against hie side At from that moment the lion bounded cover with a roar like a clap of thunder Blake sprang erect The beast checked himself In the act of and crouched with his great leaping paws outstretched every hooked claw thrust out ready to tear and mangle In two or three bounds he could have leaped upon Blake and crushed him wllh a single stroke of his paw As he rose to repeat his deafening roar It seemed to Blake that he stood higher than a horse — that his mouth gaped wide as the end of a hogshead And reyet the beast stood hesitating strained by brute dread of the unknown Never before had any animal that he had hunted reared up to meet his attack in this strange manner “Lie flat!” commanded Blake “lie flat and don’t move!
