An fntoresting account of a tiger- _runt is given byone who had' a wide ei perience is hunting this most dangerous of beasts. Mounted upon elephants, the writer and his companions had been beating the jungle without nicking a find, until, as they were about to give up the setaxah, a sudden disturbance among the elephants appeared to betaken a tiger near at handl. filo- ing directions to the others as to the order of marching their ele- phants, the writer ordered Ms ma- hout to turn biro the thick feathery foliage to the left in search of a pool of water. which he remember- ed to be there.

About one hundred and twenty yards distant on my left the head and neck of a large tiger, clean and beautiful, reposed above the surface of the water, while the body was cooling, concealed from view. Here was our friend ,enjoying Iris quiet bath, while we had been pounding away n and down the you g w ,y p jungles which he had left. "Fire at him," whispered the mahout, "or you will lose him l He will see us and be off." "Hold your tongue 1" I answer- ed "He can't see us, for the sun is at our back and is shining in his eyes. See how green they are." At this moment the tiger quietly rose from his bath, ancl sat up on end, like a clog. I never saw such a sight. His head was beautiful, and the eyes shone like two green electric lights as the sun's rays re- flected from them; but his huge body was dripping with muddy water, as ho had been reclining upon the alluvial bottom.' For quite a minute the tiger sat up in the same position, At last, as if satisfied that he was in safety and seclusion, ho once morn lay dawn with only the head and neck exposed above the surface, "Back the elephant gently,' but do not turn round," I whispered.

Look for Blue Signs in Germany if Yoii Wasti Quiet. Little blue signboards, bearing recondite devices, are appearing sporadically over the doorways of hotels in various parts of Germany.
