To cut my atory short, however, nnd
Ifflt down to u fait, serins of single
handed leopard kills, after following
the Dragoons up ui far na Mufeklng
to no ptirponu, I returned to Klmber
ley and dm Ornugo rlvor. I conceived
tha Idea of constructing :i raft nnd
thus transporting my few necessary
effects, camping an the banks na In
ulinatlou led trio, or. na 1 fnnclort tha
locmllty fnvorod sport. I had lmd too
innoli experience anions limiting logs
whilst lumbering In America not to
fol ut homo nt this kind of work;
miil nil in nil, though. I did not travel
faf, 1 spout ono of tho most exciting
trips 1 ovur lmd. All along clthor
dido of UiIh flno rlvor Is n wldo bolt
of "walt-a-bit" tliorna und bush tim

plftyod In great profusion. 1 caught
nurnbar. ovory ono of which brought
mo In lid In Cupo Town, for Jewelry
purpose. I hnd seen beetles set up
In ,u iilmllnr fashion In Itlo do Janeiro
and no had tin oyo to possible busi
ness; na also, wo uuod to got nlllgntors
tooth down In Alabama and Florida,
but those creatures havo got bo scarco
now that it hardly pnys to hunt them.
Having not everything fixed on my
raft, and as tho river hurctboutn was
familiar to mo, 1 hnd no dlfllculty In
making n landing, as I hnd proposed
norno 20 m 11 os further down, pausing
tho ford to Hope Town on my way.
AmotiR other things I had with mo a
hannnook and a poncho which 1 had
used out In tho Bnndn Orlontale, both
of which, besides bolng of tho great out
uh, wont Into very small compnBB.
After taking n cup of coffoo without
milk and a snuck or two of sprlng-bok,
I literally turnud In, with my cavbino

Blinded by a Sand Storm.
An tho mm roue It speedily dissi
pated tho rlvor mist, nnd n little way
out on tho voldt and beyond the ttni
her, It was uh sultry as over, 'I could
apy soma, small specks awuy to tho
southward, nnd as a frosh bit of vonl
hoii would bo au ngroeablo chnngo,
I started after what I know would
furnish mo therewith, If I could man
ago to circumvent thorn, TIiIh was not
particularly dllllcult, for I could keep
myself covered by ono ant-hill or au
other, and I got my buck all right,
Heading tho reat bouudlng away with
trornoudouB Jumps. Tho ominous
darkening of tho horizon had not es
caped my notice, but almoBt before I
was aware of It tho hot sand camo
stinging liko so much small shot
against my face. In such cases, the
only thing to bo done is to throw
yourself lint on your chest nnd hold
your breath till tho hot blast has
blown over. Tho snnd storm did not
lust muny minutes, but the thundor
storm tmmodlutoly burst In such a
wny as it only does In South Africa,
and I speak from oxporlonco both of
this, na well as other part of tho
world. H was over almost as soon as
It came, and for a short spaco tho
sandy veldt looked Uko a Bhoot of
water, which, however, wub sucked up
In no tlmo. tho sun bursting forth
In all tin splendor nnd drying me,
dronched na I was, before I could get
my buck back to camp
After skinning my buck and maklns
tho hind portions Into ham, ami get
ting a meal of fresh moat, I set out
along the bank of the rlvor to boo If
I could hit upon any leopard spoor. I
had not gouo far before I came to tho
romnantH' of a porcupine, Leopards
upponr to have u great partlullty for
tho flush of thoso nulmala, and as
thoy are common enough along tliu
Orango rlvor, It doubtless accounts
for tho presunce of their persecutors.
1 huntod for the rest of tho day with
.out finding any moro nlgns, although
I felt satlriJled that there wore some
leoparilu In tho neighborhood, so 1
could only postpone my search until
tho morrow. In tho morning I got
afloat onco more, nnd dropped about
four miles down to tho place 1 had
turned buck from tho day before.
This did not occupy long, and 1 was
noon fast ngniu in a kind of back
water, with my traps once more on
dry land. I was oager to follow up
tho leopard, which I was confident
had goue down, not up, tho river; in
dood, I had hardly proccodod a quar
ter of a mile before I found pug
murks, und, quite fresh ones, too,
where ho had gono down to drink.

washed all trace of epoor and sent
away, and my dog wag able to pink
It up easily. Seeing that my carbine
was all right r.nd everything In Kb
place to my band. I Tollowed "Snap"
with uotn difficulty, for I did not
want him to come to an untimely end,
which might not be itnprobablo If I
was unable to keep lilin buck somo
whore within bounds.
Following the Leopard's Spoor.
The spoor led alone the bank for
some distance close to tho rlvor, at
which the leopard had occasionally
halted, either to drink, or to watch
for a stray fish; for thoso latter thoy
will scoop out with the dexterity of
n raccoon, ns I myself onco huw. In
fact, they will oat almost anything
that moves young birds, and for the
matter of that old onus, too, when
thoy can surprise thorn. A cat which
has run wild at home Is a fair exam
ple of what tho leopard Is on a very
much larger scale.
Tho dog now camo to a point at tho
foot of a tree, and after nomo search,
for the foliage was very luxuriant, I
could distinguish tho leopard lying full
length nlong a branch, his bond be
tween his paws, his oyoa bolng Just
discernible, and that was all. I could
not get a good shot at him, tho angle
was too acuto to Urn with safety at
his bend, nud unless I got directly
under him I could not see him at all,
whilst thu limb ho was stretched out
upon practically protected him at all
vital polnta. Now nnd again ho would
Just crane over a llttlo and then draw
back before I could get n proper
sight, making all the tlmo n snarling,
purring noise. Under the circum
stances It would havo been risky to
hnvo uttomplcd a shot, so I was com
pelled to wait until ho gave mo somo
port of a chance. To havo had him
come tumbling down wounded wns not
n bit to my fancy. In the meuutlmo
I looked about to see if thero wore
another tree near by which I could
climb, and I actually did ascend one,
wWm 0k - V il
but had to give up the Idea, for I could
not get u Bight of him at all, ao 1 ru
tin nod to the ground.
First Shot Brings Him Down.
Onco or twice I ralsod my woupon,
only to lower It, fooling It was safer
to watt. On a sudden hu ralsod his
hoad, as If some bound at a distance
had nrrcstod his attention, for ho
gazed right away Into spaco. This wiw
my opportunity not a very line ono
certainly, for there was quite a net
work of small brnuc.hos Intervening
but I got a pretty fulr sight und let
him hnvo it. Down he camo almost
boforo I could Jump to one sldo, with
n thump that would hnv Btunnod him,
one would Imagine, oven If the bullet
had not smashed his Jaw and gone out
through tho top of bis head, bursting
au oyo lu its course. Ho was aa dead
as a door nail, and n beautifully
marked full'grown young mnlo, his
teeth being perfect. An I wan only
about a mile from camp, I gut his akin
oft at once, and taking tho skull went
back and dressed the skin thoro and
then, before it should gut covered
with flyblows.
I lost no time, however, In getting
back to the spot where I hud killed
him, for It struck me there might bo
something more than I It lew about in
his having had his attention diverted
from myself nnd tho dog. Ho I cast
about onco more, still going along the
river, lotting 'Snap," who wuh well up
to the work, do tho hunting, whilst
now and again I added a brilllunt
boetlo to my collecting box. Passing
two or three gullies without making
uny thing further out, l began to think
that It must have been the whlstlo
of an nutelopo that had attracted tho
leopard's notice. Uo showed, how
ever, the same lntontnesn of gaxo as I
remembered In a Jaguar I onco klllod
under nomo what similar circum
stances, nnd whoso dying roar brought
a second one on my track In less than
no time, giving me a utllllsh scuttle. It
Ib In eases such aa theso that tho sci
ence of woodcraft comos In handy,
careful notice of surrounding signs
nnd actions usually enabling ono to
come to a correct conclusion. I lmd
been keeping fairly closo to tho river
bank, (or 1 held to my theory that
there was another leopard not far
from where 1 shot tho last; so I turned
about, after u couple of miles, and
worked back nlong tho margin of tho
bush, near the veldt, caroftilly beat
ing any likely-looking spots. Half wny
or so back was a dense mass of thorns
with a lot of rock and boulders, look
lug n very Itkoly plnco to hold such
gamn. I went to the veldt side to
reconnoitre, nnd there Immediately
found fresh pug-marks, not only of
ono, but of three, leopards; evidently
those of an old ono nnd hsr cubs.
This nt onco nccouuted for tho de
meanor of tho one I had got, nnd ns
a leopard with young, or for the mat
ter of that any unltunl utmost in such
circumstances, rcqulreu extra caro In
tackling, I called tho dog to hoc),
whilst I cogitated a bit what course
to pursue. Hxtimlnlng the tracks, I
put tho cubs down as half grown. 1
ulso made u detour of the clump of
bush nnd satisfied myself that the
game was at home. Returning to the
spot whero I had llrst markod them.
1 followed them In slowly, "Snap" be
ing token up with a piece of string
He soon commenced to get very ox
cltod, and I could myself smoll tho
taint which always hangs around the
lair of the carnlvora, bo thoy birds
or beasts. The spoor was easy enough
to keep, as the path hail boon used
many limes, and tho leopard, dragging
her prey along, bud beaten It down. I
had my carbine roady for a rapid shot,
for I felt sure we were coming close
to, and had hard work to keep the
dog from breaking away. Luckily the
wind was In my favor, ami all nt once
I camo right In sight, of the leopards,
tho old one and two cubs, almost as
largo as she was, basking In the sun
In un open spaco In tho glade. I don't
think she uaw me, as from where I
stooii I was completely hidden In
don no foliage, but alio htnred hard in
my direction, half rising to her feet,

beating tho ground, It was iih pretty

tiful cats, but 1 had not tlmo for such
thoughts. One of thn cubs attempted
to play with the bobbing tall, nnd
this seemed to irritate her, for she
turnud and guvo thu offending young
ster a tnp with her paw that sent him
sprawling. In dolug ho she gave rne
a flno broadside and ( tired, dropping
hor at once, though she scrambled to
her foro feet In An Intsant. I could
see that her hind partd wore para
lyzed; she was shot through the spine;
and as she turned to gnnw the wound
I quickly got nnothor cartridge lu and
hit her through the neck
Getting the Cubs.
But this tlmo tho two cubs had re
covered from their surprlso, ami as
thu old leopard appeared to be done
for I gave ouu of thorn n bullet In
thu client, tho other turning tall and
Bcamporlug off Into the bush with
"Snap" (who had got loose) ut his
heels, whilst I Htoppcd Into tho open
and let tho one I had woundod have
another bull, catching him in tho orl
flee of the ear and killing him in
stantly. Au I approached them the
old ono rolled over, and I uis about
to fire at her again, when I noticed
that her eye was alreadj gla.od, and
It woujd only bo wasting ammunition.
After a hasty glance of admiration I
left them na they lay and hurried after
the yelping terrier, who from tho
sound nppoured to have roino to a
halt, though I could hear uo snarling.
fU'foro, however. 1 could catch up, tho
leopard must have made another start.
Tho scrub wns thick Just here, and tho
everlasting "walt-a-blt" thorns retard
ed my progress' considerably, besides
punishing me not a llttlo. Still I
pushed on into the open voldt Just
In time to sue tho two muklng across
for tho timber on tho other sldo ot the
bend In tho river. I wuh beginning to
foet a bit winded, nud was not sorry
when further nngry yelpa and growl
ing Bhowed that tho cub had again
bncu brought to bny. Gottlug up as
quickly as possible, I found that tho
dog hnd boon having a rough tlmo of
It. Ho was ncored bndly down tho
side, nnd Instead ut being a whito
terrier wuh n ghastly red ono, though
for the time being it did not appear
AND OVER WE DOTH WENT IN A
to Inconvenience him much. He was
vigorously barking and Jumping
around a lot of loose boulders, among
which tho leopard had evidently taken
refuge. 1 could not, however, Induce
htm to go In, and although 1 hnvo
had several good terriers for this kind
of Bhootlng none of them cared to go
to ground after such game. I began
to (ear 1 should hao to glvo him up,
but got together n lot of the driest
herbage I could find, and making a
couplo of squibs by extracting tho
powder from two cartridges, 1 went
to work to try and make him bolt,
as his cover was not very largo. Cut
ling an long a stick ns I could find,
I took a pago out of my pocket diary
and rolled tho squibs in It, binding
them to the thin end of the stick,
which 1 bandaged thickly round with
dry grass and haves for a yard or
more, and then pushed It In whore thu
leopard had entered nnd Ignited It
well nil around, also henplng more
dry stuff about the opening so ns to
make as much smother as possible.
The smokn soon began to escape from
the crevlceu, though the leopard did not
appear to take nuy notice of it; but
as soon an the fusuu began to Uzz and
sputter, It was more than he could
stand, ami out he dushed, almost up
.sotting me In his rush. I had, how
ever, picked up my carbine and Ilred
nt him, Just us he was disappearing
Into the cover. I distinctly henrd tho
pat of tho bullet and wm about to
follow, whun I saw Hint the poor dog
demanded my attention, so picked htm
up. Tho ncratcheS wore ugly ones,
tend to them nt once I might loso
him; I thereforo carried him back to
camp and washed, stitched, and
dressed his wounds. I returned after
wards, to try nnd follow the leopard,
but could not find any further traco
of him, except blood mnrkH. I there
fore went and skinned the other two,
and made up my mind to leave the
cub I had wounded until tho morrow.
1 tracked him up next day and found
him dead, about a quarter of a mile.
HEAP.
from whero I had tired at him, my
lucky shot having gone through his
heart.
This reminds mo of an escapade I
hud with one of these creatures some
time previously, further south. As
Is so frequently the case, I had been
much disturbed during the night by
prowling animals, which I found out
were leopards. I was exasperated by
the loBti of my beat dog, nnd mndo
up my mind, If possible, to get u line
skin and avenge his death at one und
tho sumo tlmo; .so making a hurried
breakfast, and leaving my two Kafflr
boys In charge of the skerm, 1 set
out with tho only dog I now had loft.
Tho apoor,. which was plain enough
lu the sand, led right away towards
the river, which on either sldo is bor
dered for a quarter ot a mllo or so
with "walta-blt" thorns nud under
brush. After going a mllo or moro my
dog showed special eagerness, nud
pulled up ut a tree, tho bark of which
was all scored by the claws of leop
ards and was evidently used by them
continually for stretching their talons.
A lot of porcupine quills also lay
around, showing that tho leopard had
recently mudo a meal, of which I was
glud. for I thought i should be moro
likely to tlmt him lazy and lying up,
nnd hence easier to manage. A little
further on I came to a kloof or ravine,
which I had to descend and ascend.
Attacked by the Savage Beast.
Ueforo I reached tho top, the dog
began burking ami I hurried on, us
well us 1 could,. over the loose Btoues,
for I did not want to lose my only
remaining dog. He, however, came
yelping bnck, just as I gained the top
of the bank, and ut tho samu tlmu I
caught sight ot the leopard, which was
making across the open for a patch
of thorns n couplo of hundred yards
diBtuut. 1 was somewhat out of
brouth from 'scrambling ovur tho un
ovon ground, but, taking us careful
aim as I could, 1 tired. I knew I had
hit him nil right, even If hu had uot
stopped and bitten at tho wound, but
tho shot was too far back aa well as
too low. At the same instant lie
caught sight of me, whilst I, not relish
ing his looks, hastily pushud in an
other cartridge, I hud not my trusty
"Winchester" then, or tho leopard
would not linve served me as ho did.
The weapon I wns using was a con
verted 12nfield carbine, which, though
a splendid shooter, only took one shell
and required cupping. I could not get
tho cap on before he was upon me,
and over we both went In n heap 1
undermost. He got my left arm be
tween his toeth. and I could feel his
fangs crunchlug, but I seized my long
hunting knife, and managed to get It
under his chin and gave n frantic
gnsh which ulmost cut his bend off.
In tho meantime my dog hail re
gained hla composure; since ho had
seen two of his comrades flattened
out by leopards ho had often turned
tall, but he wns very useful In track
ing them. I had rolled tho skin up
and was Just about starting back for
camp, when the dog again attracted
my attention, acting ns though ho had
picked up a fresh scent; and although
I felt pretty sick, still I could not re
sist tho temptation nnd followed him,
first of all hanging up the skin on n
thorn bush. Tho dog held on and I
followed ns well es I could for per
haps another mile, fortunately along
the wooded ground the best part of
the time, so that I was Blinded to some
extent from the burning mmheanis
which under ordinary circumstances
would have caused mo no Inconven
ience, but now ulmost prostrated mo.
I doubtlesu had lost considerably more
blood thuu I Imagined, but the Miiddrn
renewed barking of tho dog put new
life luto mo nnd I hurrlod on. Tho
leopard had hurried on to some rocky
ground, whero ho had evidently o
cated himself, an he would not prob
ably leave IiIb stronghold for any dog,
I sat down nud rested a while. I also
examined the breech of my carbine
nnd arranged things ns well ni I could,
so that no repetition of the Inst "con
tretemps" should occur. Tho dog
was working nt a crevice in the rock?
in which I "had calculated tho leopard
was ensconcd, and I cautiously np
proached to Investigate. I could, how
ever, neither hear nor see anything nt
first, but after a while, as my eye
eight got accustomed to tho gloom, 1
mndo out two bnllB of fire. They
might have been one ynrd, they might
have bpon "0 ynrds away, I could not
tell that did not signify and taking
steady aim between them, t let go
Tho report was so deafening that I
could not havo heard nny other sound
had thcro been one, but tho "oyes"
had gone out when tho smoko cleared
away and all was still. After waiting
a while, I cut a limb or two as straight
as I could find, and splicing them Into
ono long one, pushed the polo up lntc
tho recesses of tho aperture, and with
drawing It, after twisting it around
against eoiiio soft substance, found
suro enough, leopard's fur on the end.
I now folt no hesitation about going
In, though this was more easily said
than done. I could with dliflcultv
squeeze myself through the narrow
opening, and to do so caused mo ox
cruclatlng pain. Once through, how
ever, I had moro room, nnd soon
reached my quarry, which I got at
last into tho daylight, not a little glad
to bo out ot tho business so well. I
then had to skin her u female, nnd
doubtless mate to tho one I had killed
In tho morning. Then returning tc
whero I had loft the other skin I made
