She suddenly found herself face to face with, it and realized that she would have to shoot at' once if she were not to become its prey. But before she could do any- thing it leapt on to the tree and clung, exhausted, to a' branch directly above het. "It's gaze," she says, "met my eyes so full of fear and torment and at the amee time so hypnotic that my arms fell limply to my side. No one could have imagined an 'easier target, bat under the spell of those eyes' was incapable of moving a muscle. The barking of the clogs meanwhile had mounted .to r ill, perSistent. deafening oar.' Then the puma suddenly col, lapsed and fell With a thud at her feet.

Through one of her police es- cort who intrpreted, the old chief told her that an "eminent corpse" awaiting burial could not be Interred because TOndoklitac hadn't paid its annual taxes to the Dutch' government.

Sahara discovered that hiS wife Was having a love affair with another, and scent out' to find him. Both were on. camels when they met. They drew swords and charged each other. The husband's , sword snuck the other on the shoulder, par- ed through his body, through. the saddle, and far enough into the camel to kill it! Robert .Christopher, who has stayed with the Tuaregs, says it would seem impossible that either man or sword could be strong enough to accomplish such , a feat, but it is true, and reveals, how they have retained their old training in strength And 'skill with arms. There was no trial, for he was ,avenging his honour, sacred to .a Tuareg noble. The .erring wife, banished from the tribe, had only two Alternatives—to kill herself or go' on the. streets of a town. That is 'one reason why Tuareg infidelity is extremely rare. Christopher found that the Tuaregs are highly superstitious, A 'woman who wants tp know when her .husband or loOef will return from a long journey need only go to the nearest graveyard when the moon is full, lie on a relative's grave, :put her ear to the stones, and the relative's spirit will give her the 'esti- meted time of arrival. In a land with very poor pos- tal services and no telephones, Christopher says, this serves. a useful purpose. "There is no doubt that 'it , works and, any Tuareg will tell you that they have been doing it successfully for hundreds of .years," writes in a vivid account' of his Saharan travels: "Ocean, .of Fire." Once, sitting round tile camp fire, he began poking —et the coals with a stick. Cone&sation at once stopped, the man' across the fire stared 'at him As if ,he'd rn suddenly' turned into aronster, another on his right knocked the stick out of his hands 'because they believe that poking a fire stops the camels from giving milk!

He ran. his fingers quickly along the seams of the case and felt a loose eerew. He gave it a jerk and the lin- ing of the case fell away, Tacked to the hardboard interior he found nearly $3,000 in notes! At London Aieport recently. one of 'the passengers from a. newly arrived flight made his way with slow, measured treads to the Customs. He was a big man and his precise eteps looked rather unusual, • - He was asked to remove his shoes. He protested and said he was raving special treatment for his feet—that walking slow- ly was the only way he could get relief, He, even produced a ' medical certificate to prove it. But the, Customs man was .ada- mant. In the specially designed heels were . found several valuable gold . watches. He had leouble with .. his feet all right-several hundred pounds' worth! . The Customs and Excesee, are often at work as a suspect steps , on: his 'plane or boat. • Some weeks ago a well • dress- ed, elegant lOoking man tripped cenfide,ntly down the 'landing stage of a 'plane just arrived from Brussels. He adjusted his hat, patted his overcoat and made his. way to the cuitoms, There,, to• his apparent hewn-. derment, his overcoat and hat were taken from . hini. • and searched. Woven into the linings were .found hundreds .of pounds of English currency. How had he been spotted? A Customs man with a pair of bi- noculars had been on the roof of the airport reception centre and had seen him give that re-• assuring. pat to .his coat. Probably one of the most un- usual, cases yet heard ,ef. -was, the Continental Clergyman re-. cently allowed to proceed . un- searched • through the Cestomse With his clerical collar and gen- eral air of innocence he looked the last 'person On• earth to bea smuggler. But he was suspected, and several days later was appre, • hended. His cat" was •eearched. He was found to. be carrying thousands of pounds' worth of smuggled goods under the, seats. He was one, of the .dupes ,used by a well known smuggling gang but, he 'declared; he- hadn't known a thing of What had been going. on! • • THE FROZEN• LIMIT In sub-zero weather firemen of Charlston brought their, en- gine to a halt at the home of Arthur Williams. They found the man snugly tucked up 'in bed. To the surprised firemen he explained ,that it was too cold to get up, even for a fire. "I knew you boys would be here in a few minutes." It transpired that a stove had set a wall ablaze and a neigh- bour had summoned the fire brigade, Estimated damage was £4. was pronounced one of the jury dropped dead. - The Americans use a similar jury system. In Chicago, not long ago, the name of 'a woman was called out for jury service in a trial. As her •name was read out, the court bailiff stood up. "She is dead," he told the judge. He pointed to one of three defendants in court, 'dared he is charged with murdering her!" But' even juries have their lighter moments, and some of their verdicts are comic. , On one occasion they found a man "Guilty while unconscious." *An-. Loose Screw Nails Customs Smuggler A stocky, rather paunchy Man Approached the Customs' desk At a busy port on the English south coast. He seemed out of breath, "That's the worst of these Continental holidays," he wheez- ed, 4'lls big fellows are just 09.0 exhausted after all that touring," lie mopped his face with his handkerchief, then heaved his euitcaSe onto the desk, "Here you ere," he chuckled, "Do your worst, on that" The Customs man looked at his genial customer. "Would you Mind stepping thiS way, sir?" be asked. "What for, demanded the xnan, all trace of his previous bonhomiedisappearing, "I haven't clone anything," He was taken to a small room at the rear of the. Customs hail, There he was searchedelie stood, guilty and angry-looking,' as a belt of wrist watches and jewel- lery was removed from around his waist. It was revealed he had been carrying no less than • $0,000 worth of smuggled goods .on. him, Only the officer's sharp eye had prevented him getting away with it. Hundreds like him are caught every year. Over $1,800,000 has been taken in goods confiscated and sold by the Customs and Excise in the past two years, $200,000 in currency has been ;apprehended 'in the same time. Many respectable and other- wise law-abiding citizens seem to regard the Customs as fair game, It has been estimated that no less than one in three people coming into Great Britain try to smuggle something through.—if only for the fact that they can boast to their friends in the pub of their achievement. Few of them get away with it. If they do it once 'they are caught the second time. The. "hail-fellow-well-met" , and the ""I-couldn't-care-less" type are all well known to Customs men. They are trained. to spot almost in one glance the too-reedy smile and shifty eyes .of the amateur smoggier. One seemingly respectable business .man was caught . while conversing with - an official be- cause he, kept nervonsly finger- eng his collar and tie. A normal gesture, you would think. But ' the official was curious. 'He asked' to see the:tie., In the lining, :oiled into 'tight wads, he found a ,strip of ,five..pound notes. There were more in ,the !shirt'. "I only did. it for fun," plead- ed the man. His "fun" cost him his. job as an accountant Most of the'• small-time smug- glers aren't worried whether they are caught or not. They cheerfully, say good=bye to the article and pay three times its duty _value. It's ,the professional who keeps the Customs on their toes. A constant state of war exists between them 'with each side trying ,to outwit the other. A big closed car came up in front of ,officiels at a south coast depot recently: With its well- upholstered interior and its gen- eral air of smartness, it. looked' as though it was thee'Pride and joy Of some car enthusiast.. The Customs men went .to work,' The arin-rests were taken out—underneath' were hundreds of. Swiss watches. The same 'went for the seats and dashboard. One thousand pounds' 'worth of currency was found 'in the lining of the tires and inner tubes. Soldered under the chassis, officials found hun- dreds More watches.

Carrying a lighted stick from one fire to another wakes the wild desert creatures and invites them to bring death into your camp. Should you squirt the milk directly into your mouth while milking a camel it, will stop giving milk. Prof. Claude Blanguernon, teacher and scholar who has lived eight years in the desert, took Christopher to see the -bat- tleground near the village of Tit where, the Tuareg army made its last herdic' stand' against the French, and the warriors lie buried under piles of rocks in- stead of being interred. They stopped by one of these rock piles,, And Claude suggested that they remove some of. the rocks in order .to see. the skeleton and the equipment he had been car- rying. At once a small bird be- gan flyjng overhead. "How amazing," said Claude. "That bird shouldn't be here, for they don't come to this area un- til spring!" In his eight years it was' the first he'd .ever seen out of sea-. son, When they resumed Pick- ing up stones the' bird flew around their heads as if intend- ing to attack them; it -was ob- viously trying to keep them from the grave. They walked a few feet away and it circled them. They et returned to the grave, and it came down at them again. When they replaced _the stones and mounted their camels, it vanished. ChriStopher thought it had 'a 'nest hidden among the rocks, but Claude ;said: ."That's impos- sible... It's months before the nesting season. They don't make their nest on the 'ground, any- way. Let's , take a look and make sure, but"—raisihg hie Noice—"we will not 'disturb the .graVe." They searched carefully among the rocks but found no sign of a nest—nor of the bird again. It was a disquieting, un- canny experience, like many in this .first-hand record of the day-to-day life of. a strange people, High Drama IIn OUr Courts One of the oldest of our legal institutions is still working sat- isfactorily — the jury system.
