They were building tin; great high
way and railroad bridge over the tiun
ga river, near Najnpoor, In India, and In
this month of August tlx? scene was as
busy a one as could be conceived. The
approaches were being filled In by a
thousand natives; the Ironwork was
being pushed along by S00 more direct
ed by English engineers aud foremen;
200 men were unloading the cars of
the working trains; 300 elephants, each
In charge of a mahout, were carrying
or dragging l>eums of wood and gird
ers of Iron. When the steam whistles
blew for dinner on this particular day.
one of the mahouts approached his boss
aud. after u respectful salaam, said;
"I have to tell you that my beast
Ranga has had to be punished often to
day. Re is homesick and out of tem
per. I have talked kindly to him, I
have coaxed and reasoned, but it has
done no good. He still defies me. I
am afratd that If I do not let him rest
he will make great tronble."
"But there Is no time for rest." re
plied the overseer, who was a native
himself. "The work must be driven;
the bridge must be finished. Tomor
row your beast may no longer be
homesick. There can be no rest for him
today."
The mahout drove bis elephant to the
feeding place and placed food before
him, but the beast would not cat. II#
was offered dainties, but he refused
them. The mahout sang to him. prom
ised him a whole month's rest when
the bridg? should be finished, but Ran
ga made a rumbling lu his throat and
wouiil not be placated. His conduct
was noticed by other mahouts, anil
some of them said:
"He should not go back to work this
afternoon. He Is dangerous. He will
win over our beasts. Hear him growl
In bis throat! The great sahib should
be told that there Is danger."
Word was sent to the engineer lu
charge of the works. He was an Eng
lishman who had lived long In India
and knew the ways of natives and ele
phants. Some of the beasts and their
?irivers had come 200 miles to work on
lie bridge. It was a well known fact
.hat now and then an elephant got
esii k an 1 became dangerous If not
?i'.I cflf f.ir a day or two. The engiueer
i-d s:?t out to moke that a banner day,
i.i l ivbea word came from Banga the
?e;ily wiv.it back that the beast was not
u lc excused.
B.ui-.m rumbled in his throat and
n!t-'b?d his tail aliout. aud jnst be
?re the whistles blew for the resump
ion of work he ralse.I his trunk and
?lade a whist I lug noise through It.

a u;; lit t':e sound and repeated the slg
"It nirnu* danger!" whispered tlie
?uahonU to each other, but the great
sahib lid J spoken, ami there was no
?milling back.
For two hours after dinner the work
?vent on ut high pressure. Every man
? as t'jero, and not an elephant refused
obey orders. Even Banga worked
'letter than during the morning. The
mahouts and their bosses had had a
vigilant eye on the toiling beasts, but
as time passed their (ears were quieted.
"Thief and robber, dost thou not
see that Banga is at work?" demanded
a foreman of a mahout.
Four elephants twined their trunks
aronnd an Iron girder and lifted It
j from the ground. They held It sus
pended for a moment, and then Banga
let go. raised his trunk and blew a
trumpet blast Bot few men there had
ever heard the like before. They were
men who had hunted the great beast
In his wild state ami bad heard the
sound from a wounded and enraged el
ephant In thirty seconds a scene of
Industry was turned Into hell. Three
hundred elephants were trumpeting at
once. Nearly 2,000 wen were running
and shouting, Locomotives and en
glues were blowing whistles of warn
ing for Just one minute, and then the
great beasts broke loose, and Banga
led them all In bis fury. With one
blow of his trunk he killed his mahout;
with a second he made a corpse of the'
overseer who had called him a thief.
Then up and ('.own the long dirt ailed
approaches tiie 800 behemoths raved.

could reach thoin. Some they hurled
Into the air and others into the nearby
treetops. They upset the locomotives
and dump carts of the dirt trains and
rolled them down the embankments.
They picked up beams and planks and
girders and kegs or bolts and rivets
and sent them after.
Ten minutes cleared the long west
em approach. Then a hundred of the
beasts, moving as If under orders,
oressed forward to the big pier. They
tore down the structures occupied by
the engineers. They tore down the
storehouse and sent Its contents Into
the muddy river. They tore out braces
aud ripped out girders until the al
most completed span went down under
their attacks. Then they turned upon
