A• Picture of Ferocity'
By V. C. ;Stoneham
Jacob Hulse set out to photograph'
the Martinis lions, but he knew . he
was taking'•, a big risk. There were
four of them, two' males and two
females, and they_ were all giants.
They lived on .the farm of a settler
named Major Craig, which was far
more like a game' preserve that a
farm, being 8,000 acres of perfectly.
wild veld ,sprinkled :with thorn pat-
ches and traversed by several un-
mapped streams.
Craig, who was wealthy and ec-
centric, gave the American permis-
sion tophotograph his peta only if
he would undertake not to •annoy
them, He opined that Hulse would
probably be killed, but was quite,
philosophical about it.
That was the attraction for Hulse,
"Your blood be on your own head,".
replied Craig, "I always ride a fast
horse . when I go up the river; I've
seen the limns often enough, and
they've seen ms, but always with, a
goodish bit of ,ground in between.
They are not to be, trusted, I'll tell
you that frankly, but I like to have
them here, and if you shoot one I'll
make it hot for you. Shoot anything
else you like, but not my lions."
"01.K., Big Chief," agreed Hulse.
and set about making his arrange-
ments.
So it happened that when • Guam,
the big tawny -mane, led his pack up
from water one evening to hunt the
each ,other by some, secret, intuitive
power,
Guvu came to the edge of the camp
clearing against the breeze; he stood
behind is bush and looked through it.
He was within thirty paces of the
men, but they had no suspicion of
his nearness. After a minute. Lain(
came quietly up beside himand stood
at gaze. The two beasts surveyed
the strange white houses, the human
figures, and the ''yellow glare of the
fire, which was always a phenomen-
on beyond their 'comprehension, but
Was evidently somewhat fond of the
companionshap of men Guvu swung
his head round' , towards his mate.
"Funny creatures," he seemed to say.
"What are they up to?" -
Laini uttered a •loud reverberating
grunt. It shot Hulse out of his chair.
"Good lord!" he cried. "Here they
are!"
Midi, standing near the fire said:
"Keep still, Bwana, they do not mean
as harm." But he watched the bush-
es with strained intent interest.
From another pyint sounded the
voice of Eimbani: "Oh, they are all
right; nothing to do with us. Let's
go hunting."
Guvu agreed, The lions moved
grunting away up through the glades
on to the plains.
Hulse listened to them retreating

Laini was a little woried at this
development for behind her in the
cave she had left three small cubs.
She hoped they would be safe enough
while she spent the night hunting,
but the proximity of men was a new
cause for anxiety.
Guvu stretched his•neck and roar-
ed. It was a customary performance
at this hour, an assertion of domin-
ance over the Melanie hunting
grounds where all creatures existed
at the disposal of the Sultan, • but to-
night it had an added arrogance
which might act as a warning to the
men. The rest of the pack joined in;
i uttering theircacophon-
ousthey stood to g op
ous cries as though striving to out-
do each other in this demonstration.
There is no man breathing who can
hear that sound without an increase
in his pulse beats. Hulse, seated be-,
fore his tent in a- clearing by the
river, puffed jerkily at his cigarette,
feeling et once elated and chilled, as
though a shivering breeze had crept
about his shoulders. His assistant,
an educated Swahili named Abdi, put
down the rifle he had been cleaning
and approached his master.
")lark at 'emi," said Hulse.
"Makes you feel small, don't it?"
The native nodded solemnly. "There
will be a good moon to -night," he
remarked, looking at the darkening
sky,
"Meaning that theyr will pay us a
visit?"
"N'dio, Deana; they will come. •
'ASKED THE WRONG MAN
During the trial of a. celebrated
will ease, an Irishman was the princi-
,pal witness.
"Whas the deceased," asked the law-
er, "in the habit of talking to hint -
sell when alone?"
"I don't know," was the reply.
"Come," come, you don't know, and
yet you were intimately caquainted
.with him?"
"Yee," said the witness slowly,
"that's so; but you see, I never hap-
errtiened to be 'with him when he ryas a-
, lone,"
Hunting was by no means easy for
the lions at this season of the ~year,
The weather had been dry for several
months, the grass was very short, af-
fording scant concealment for stalk-
ing, and the mare stood well away
froom cover out on the open field. In
these conditions hunting is like fish-
ing—good luck plays the •biggest
share in success.
And this night luck was against
the lions. They wandered to and fro
over the weld, locating various herds
of zebra and hartebeeste, but finding
It impossible to approach near to
them.
Laini did not accompany the oth-
ers; her need was more urgent than
theirs—she had the cubs to think of.
She went off by herself under the
moon hoping to strike some query be-
fore the sun chased her to cover.
Level with the men's camp, on the
edge of a clearing, Guvu encountereo
a familiar smell -,the reek of dead
zebra.
Guvu wondered how he had missed
this discovery earlier in the night,
for the kill was at least a day old.
He decided that the owner had
brought it there recently, and
thought him a bold lion who would
trespass so rashly in these hunting
grounds where the spoor of the pack
was everywhere apparent, A long
grunt from Kali informed him that
his brother had discerned the pre-
sence of man. So that was it!
Hulse emptied his glass, went into
the tent and got his, shot gun, He
stood in the open looking round at
the camp; the circle of trodden grass
rounds the cook fire, the three tents
where his boys slept, the hooded
lorry which contained his equipment.
Tall fever -trees and scattered bushes
encircled it; amongst them showed
glimpses of grassy glades. Only in
that one spot was the normal atmos-
phere, elsewhere was mystery, un-
reality—not ehostile,' but infinitely
strange and unrealted to human af-
fairs.
Hulse had a sudden urgent desire
to restrain the fall of night; . he
Wanted to hold up the darkness with
his hands, or fly from this place
were soon would be gloom and shad-
ow, concomitants of evil, He gave
himself amental shake. N'ervest

Hulse sat down at the amp table le a-
gain, nursing the shot gun on his
knees.' "Hey, yaut Make up those
fires!" he ordered.
Guvu went up to a tree and pushed
his head against it like a cat. He
reared up to stretch his magnificent
muscles. Then be grunted: "Come
on, all of you," , and slouched away
to interview Jacob Hulse and his
men. The lions moved through the
glades, each taldng hie own course,
widely separated, but in ; touch Witt

New CRC Station Managers
Two important transfers of station

CROW, Windsor, has been appointed
manager of station CRGV. Vancou-
ver, and his duties at Windsor have
been taken over by Peter Aylen, fors
mer staff announcer of CRCT, To-
ronto. 'Both Mr. Radford and Mr,
Aylen are widely known in radio
circles in Canada.
Mr, Radford, who wa-s born in Cam-
bridge, England, came to Canada in
1907, and became identified with the
theatre at nine years of age. Fol.

The man was a considerable dis-
tance away roosting in a tree. It
seemed to ,Guvu there was nothing to
:ear from the cowardly owner; he
gave the signal to eat and set about
disembowelling the carcase. The
lions were hungry; they ate largely
before resting in the glade to await
the rising warm sun.
Hulse listened impatiently to the
sounds of feasting, but at last dawn
broke and he was able to see the big
beasts lying about the kill. They
were the biggest lions he had . ever
seen; they would make a magnificent
picture if only luck were, with him.
The sun climbed above the horizon
and drenched the veld in glaring
light; Guvu got up leisurely and ap-
proached the carcass ler a final feed
before retiring to his lair. The other
lions joined 'him. They passed close
to a squareobject, covered with hide,
perched on six-foot poles. • Guvu
wondered about it, but it occasioned
no alarm. When it pegan to make a
purring, clicking noise, he was inter-
ested but unperturbed; whatever it
was it could not harm him -
The sun grew hot, the lions drew
off towards the river for their morn-
ing
n-
ing drink. A few minutes later Hulse,
with triumph in his heart, rescued
his camera .and hurried back to camp
"I've got 'em, Abdi!" he cried. "A
splendid picture of three of them at.
the kill."
He deposited the camera on the
;ail -board of the lorry and went to
his tent to wash in the warm water
his seneant provided for him. Abdi
stood by listening tohis master's
explanation d,c the events of the
night„ but suddenly Hvlse's flood of
speech stopped and he stared open-
mouthed across the clearing, A huge
lioness was walking stealthily out of
the bush watching the men with
fierce yellow eyes. Hulse reached for
the hand camera n the tent pole.
