A Tiger's Choice j
B =T*
tCopyrleht. 1906, by E. C. Parcells.]
Four of the officers of the native
Sixth lufantry, stationed in the province
of Bengal, had gone to tlie jungles on a
tiger hunt. The accident that befell
three of tbeiu ou the second day was
a curious one. The four were making
their way up the dry bed of a nullah,
or ravine, when a tree growing on a
high bank suddeuly caved into the ra
vine, catching and breaking bones for
three of them. The officers were at
tended by fifty servants and beaters,
and litters were soon constructed and
they were borue back to camp.
On the third day after the accident
word was brought in that a large tiger
had visited a village four miles away
the night previously and carrteri away
a woman. The fourth officer of th?
party, who was a lieutenant, had, of
course, given his services to his com
rades, but wh?n news of the tiger
came they Insisted that bo make ao
attempt to kill the beast It was be
lieved that the feline would pay the
village a second visit and the officer
would have to pass the night in a hut
to be ready for him. Ho protested, but
was overruled, and an hour before dark
set off with his guns and guides. The
Injured officers by 10 o'clock wero all
asleep, and an hour later the attendant
also slumbered.
The major had slept for thiee hours
when his thirst awoke hlrn. Ills ham
mock was swung very close to the
around and his head and shoulders so
elevated that he could see all around
him. He saw that the servant ^was
asleep and hesitated to call to him for
fear of awakening his brother officers.
He had been awake about ten minutes
when a great tiger suddenly appeared
close beside the sleeping native. Tht
beast must have made its way over the
clear and open ground from the Jungle,
and as there was no air stirring the
horses had not scented him. He ?
i male tiger in his prime, and that he
had come for a victim could not be
doubted. He must have been surprised
that no better watch was kept. Had
the servant been awake he would havo
instantly been seized and "rrled >'<??
but his being asleep puzzled tho tigct.
The beast sniffed and snulled for a mo
ment and then turned to tho ham
mock*. He visited the captain^bofore
he came to the major. He purred Ue
a cat as he stood with his nose within
a\x Inches of their faces, and It Is a
thing hard to believe, but nevertheless
true that bis purring awoke each in
turn. Neither of the men moved so
m?h as an eyelash while under the
scrutiny of the beast. 1 hey ^
Wh<> had hunted the jungle before and
many dangers had hardened their
%Vhen the tiger left Captaln Burton
;o purr in the ears of Captain Brookes,
the former opened his eyes andwaKM
ed his further movements. For what
seemed live minutes the terror of the
jungle stared into the face of the sleep
ing man, thrusting out his furred
tongue at Intervals and licking at the
splints and bandages of tho broktu
arm Fortunately there was no blood
to excite his appetite. Then came the
ma ior's turn. He knew It would come
and had prepared for It, but he after
ward said that It was the ordeal of his
life The skin of his leg had been
broken and bled freely when he re
ceived the greater hurt, but luckily for
him the surgeon had treated the hurt
with an antiseptic very dlsffr^a:'!
to the tiger. The beast fniffed aml
licked and then fell back with a growl
of displeasure.
For two or three minutes he stood
staring at the horses and the tents of
the natives and seemed inclined to pay
them a visit, but why go to that trouble
when he had four victims under M?
nose? It was such a good thing that he
was troubled which to select ^ Be In;
soected each of them In turn again
and was still undecided, when one of
the native servants helped h.m to de
Sde the problem. The man awakened
and came out of his tent to see If the
borses were all right He had no Idea
of danger, but stood and yawned and
Stprobably reasoning that an alarm

covered. Then the tiger uttered a roar
