Until recently no one was able to

he stroked the head of a young Hindu
boy with a face as brown es a canna-.-
"1 was never. more struck .with,the
part chance plays in such things than
on May 8, 1892, in the bungalow of my
friend,-Jamee Fraser, on the edge of
the jungle.
"On the evening of May 8, 1922, ,
Fraser and. I were. playing a game of
backgammon by the light, of a power-
ful electric lamp -a swinging One—
whose shade, also 'a reflector (this is
a point of importance), concentrated

'You have disgraceful luck,' I said,
pushing away . the checkers, 'More-
over, you don't deserve It'
" 'And wiry don't T' deserve it?' he
asked,
" 'Because you play so carelessly.'.
"Ile began to laugh and said, with.
a superior air:
'When you are in luck you must.
play that way. Otherwise your luck
deserts you:'
"As ho spoke these words the dolor,
which had been left Ball open, reeelved
a gentle push, and what happened in.
the doorway froze us to our marrows.
"It was no more nor no lass, gentle-
men, thea the king of the jungle—a
royal tiger, .in the fullness of his ma-
turity, with a massive head, splendid.
teeth and claws like daggers, capable
of mangling a man: as easily as a cat's
claws mangle a mouse,
"It was, I.,easure you, a frightful
moment. God knows that Fraser was
thoroughly familiar with tigers—he
who had the deaths of -a dozen of thein
on his eonscience.
"The tiger looked at us, a little sur-
prised, I think, by the unaccustomed
appearance of the house, and especial-
ly by the lamp. Hpwever, as its rays
were gathered on the table, they, did
not greatly disturb him.
"Evidently he had hesitated, but al-
ready his lip curled and it was to be
expected that he would leap on us like
a thunderbolt.
"I have no way of measuring the
tune which elapsed'between the beast's
arrival and the event. 'It must have
beensomething like thirty seconds.
We were spellbound, stupefied,
speechless. Our jungle experience was.
absolutely useless to us.
"At the very moment when the tiger
grouched a small hand, the hand of a
child, grasped the lamp. `A dazzling
light blinded the big green eyes—all
the more so that the reflecting shade
was held at the correct angle The
lamp moved toward the intruder's
enormous muzzle. The tiger made one
step backward, then 01iot1Ter, so that

agility and dexterity of an ape.
"Thus, gentlemen, a little Hindu,

ability to outwit the lord of the jungle
and to save from death two tiger hunt-

in this ertsls did not know how to de-
fend themselves any more than if
