' A NIGHT OF TERROR ADYESTrSE WITH, A OUBKA— ' TREED BY A When one reads of the great number J of people who come to th«ir deaths 'each ' year in India from serpents and wild nnt irnala and crocodiles, the hgures ran hardly be credited by one who has not 5 visited that country. India is the parn- * disc of all that is savage, revengeful. ' venomous und sly, beginning with tbe Ihug and ending with the flea. The cli. mate and topography of the country fatiic natural home of every species of reptile — many species of carnivora — of almost cvsry poisonous Insect which can i be named. The offer of Urge rewards foKllie killing of poisonous serpents has taken tens of thousands of dollars from decreasing the number of deatbaby snake blfes by one. The tiger, leopard, jaguar, ; p'. .flier aqd oilier fierce creatures liave been Iblnhed off l>y the natural settling lines ki'flnd them today as IhcY were be a combat bu ween men and bcasl in 1 that country, with the odda In favor of 1 the beast. In making my way from Pen jab to Lain the day* before the railroad, hav- . ing the company of two American sports- " men and a British officer, I was bitten * an tbe cheek by some poisonous insect which dashed at mc as we were riding in , the shade. It struck me like a flash, and was off before I could raise my hand. Being cow to the country, 1 supposed it bdt it was scarcely three minute* before I began fo suffer great pain, and in live I agreed that tho bile came from a jungle hornet, anil that I would be a sufferer for some days. Fortunately for mc. we called llalarad, end when 1 could no longer stand op my feel, which was about carried into the village and u native doctor set to work on me. I was then raving with pain, and my face was swelled until I could not sec. If was four clays before the pain left me. und ten before I had recovered sufficient strength to ride. In thla interval occurred the adventure I set out to relate. On the fifth or sixth day after inv misfortune, a hammock was slung for me out doors tinder a tree, end a native sat atita roots to administer to my wants. He held the end of my hammock cord in his band, and once in a while gave it a pull and kept me slowly swinging. Die village was a scattering one. containing about 300 natives, and from my elevated position I had a pretty good view around me. There was a Jungle about forty lods away, while thegronnd. between was covered with rank grass and weeds at least knee ldgb. In front of the but to the left of my tree sat a young woman who was making some repairs on a gar. mcnt belonging to her father. On this morning most of tho men In the village had gone off on a hunt, and everything as quiet as a Sunday morning in a ; New England hamlet. The balmy air and the motion of the , hammock would have Induced sleep had , I not slept thirteen hours out of the pre. ; ceding twenty-tour. I was quiet, but , wakeful. In the course of half an bout , tho linmipock ceased to move, ar.il T saw t that the servant below was fast asleep. Almost at the same moment I caught a . flash of something at the edge of the . jungle, and then I noticed a movement . of the grass. 1 was sportsman enough , to comprehend that some animal or rep. tilo was moving toward me, but I had . no enthusiasm— not even common cur. , -iosity. I traced-ttre |mrgr*«s of the unknown creature by the motion of tlie grass, but did not speculate as to what it was. The country is overrun with hares, field rats and other small and lmrmloss animals, and the fact that something was moving in Ihe grass would not b\ve been considered by the natives as worth Investigating. I was looking at tbe ground, but thuiking of matters in America, when I suddenly caught right of the bead of a monstrous serpent raised above the grass. It kept pretty steady for a few minutes, and then moved alowly from right to left and back like the pendulum of "a clock. At this time the icplllr was about a hundred feet away, and right at tho edge of the tall grasa. ■ Between me. and him the ground was 1 bare, the grass having been klllod out by tiie feet of the viilagere. I suppose that there was still sufficient , poison In my system to deaden my scnsl- ' bUitlcs to a certain extent. "1 felt no fear | of the serpent, nor djd I wl«h tor my gun to give him asliot. rfiad no fears for the woman seated with her hack to the gram, nor for the native fast asleep below mc. This complacency on my part is to be ac- | counted for, as I said, on the ground that my nervous system had been deadened and had not yet recovered its activity. Tbe serpent presently crawled Into view, and I saw that it was a cobra of enormous sire. A* soon as the snake was clear of the grass be raised his head for a closer | survey. The woman and man Were shout the same distanee from him, each being I the ride of a triangle. 1 saw him hesitating about a choice. I calmly reasoned that he would come my way. He had I two victims under s tree, and only one I tbe other way. He was a long minute I making up his mind, and then be came * creeping toward the tree, head well up, ' eyes blazing, and tongue darting In and It may be that the serpent saw tbe sleeping man, but if so ho had determined on attacking me alone, perhaps because I was higher up and offered him a . better show. When I realized th»t lie , was certainly coming my way I felt s 1 tingle of excitement all through my nerve, and at once shouted to the tleep7 ing servknt. He cast off sleep and sprang

up. and I suppose this action saved me. for thoopbra had already Its head as high as the hammock. As Ibc native sprang up he could have touched the snake. He saw it before Lira, uttered a shriek of terror and next instant "was a victim. I saw the snake strike him -repeatedly in !r tbe face. I think the poor fvllew lost h consciousness with the first attack, for i- the one scream was all he uttered. n The alarm seemed " to go all over the it village in a moment, and the people at u once hastened up with drum*, articles of I tinware, and whatever would create a lC din. They also shouted at the tops ot j. their voices, and for a minute or two the l_ cobra seemed undecided whether to at- „ tack mc or heat a hasty retfimt. 1 was v sick and dlzry with the terror and the I. odor, and made no move to help myself. „ Dial was doubtless the wisest policy. I I, could only have emptied myself out of a the hammock upon the ground bcyjle u him, and ho would certainly have re- ^ scnlcJ'-my -presence. Twice he reared £ noise. alarmed him. A young man final- ! and this was hurled with such preri-ion , a* to alight directly upon one of the co1 bra's ^ fold*. He must have been badly r angry gander, flopped himself about In a „ terrible way, and then wcut off to the pitiful way. They had half a^lozen remedies at hand, but "none of them was „ of the least avail. He died in nbout , thirty-five minutes, and the c orpse was , one of the worst sights 1 ever beheld. It I poison, sncl It swelled until om- could , hardly believe the object had ever been I I he face and reported that the serpent had I struck liim five times. ' wilh the Scrpcn¥?k5d while lying in camp ' about thirty miles distant, a fine opporp a single standpoint, the characteristic* ' of the rhinoceros, the tiger and a snake 1 of "another species. We had our ramp 9 in a \ illagc which was half deserted on - account of the proximity of uhad rhinoc- ! eros and two or three man-eating tigers. - A bad j rhinoceros, it may be explained. - is the same thing as a bad elephant. Il I is one that has lost in a fair fight Ids * leadership and is driven away in cfisI grace. The rhinoceros isn't social, like the elephant, and seldom more than two are found together. Once in a while L' some old chap gets so ugly that there is - until Ihi spell passes off. While bad be II will fight anything that walks, flies or ' swims, and in his blind fury he will B charge a thicket as soon as a moving ob5 Jcet. 1 About- a mile from the village, and ' reached by a path through the forest, was 9 a pool, at which many wild animals came 9 to slake their thirst. We went over one 1 morning and built a platform for one of 9 us to stand on in tho branches of a con. 1 venient tree, and then hnnted about un- ' til we found places for my two com pan9 ions on patiis which were beaten hard ■' under tbe feet of thousands of animals. ! Il was the dry season, and the pood was 1 Therefore it might bo expected that the pool woulff be sought out by animals ' came from a great distance. Nothing of account to it in the daytime, as expor- ' had taught as. It is only after tun1 down that elephants, the rhinoceros, : lions, tigers, panthers, and such beast* ' approach a pool to drink, especially if It ' is in a hidden place. No doubt some of ' them may go two or three daya without : water, but the hunter who takes his stand *t a pool i* always certain ,of big game ' of some sort. We set out for our stations about an before sundown, each of us hat inn ' native attendant to remain through the " night. Just Kbtore we reached thc pool, : and while tbe man was trotting along a few feet ahead of me, a jaguar leaped ' down uponhlm from a limb with aloud scream. The beast rather overshot his mark, but qjawed the man's shoulder se1 vcrely. The nalive uttered shout* of tor. ' ror, and I fired a shot which missed the lieast. and he ticked bis chops at me in s ssi ago manner and bounded away. Die * man could not go on with me. He was ' severely hurt, and in great pain, and I f told him to run berk to the village for treatment and sent out another man. He was off stance, and I kept the path unB til reaching the pool, end then lost no ' lime in ascending to the scaffold. I had a heavy rifle and plenty of cartridges, * and in my belt Use hunting knife usual!; y carried. It waa only when ready to ascend the platform that I discovered the nbsence of my pair of Colts' with theb powder and bullets. Those things had ,r been intrusted to my servant, and he had n I wen in such a hurry to return to tbe aOI lage that he had carried them off with '• him. Just then, however, the loss of the pistols did not seem of much account to "" me. I climbed the pisiform, pulled my II gun up after me, and pretty soon began 11 to listen for the halloo of the man who r" would be aent out to stay with mc. I '• had reason to expect him before snn- * down, for the dtslanoe was not great and the natives move rapidly on an errand ; * but the red orb disappeared, the shadows 11 of evening fell, and I heard m illing of A him. I knew then that he would not come at ail, aa It would be risking Id* ^ life to enter the jungleafler sundown. d The pool was in the oenlre of. s cleared IC apace about half an acre In extent, aqd 10 the ground was uneven. As there was ie no such thing as a creek or rivulet In the neighborhood, the pool must have been formed by a spring which hobbled, Up among the rocks. Darkness hsd soar re 'e lycomo when themoon cameup tomakc the cleared space almost ss Hght as day, ^ and about the samo time the wild beast* began to more about- 1 could hear than lc snarling and growling on all sides, and * located a jaguar In a tree not far nr ? moved from mine by his continued snarl I ig ing at something in the Jungle. 1 moved I

i. .about to get a better look, and suddenly I h lost my grasp on the gun. anil had the j e mortification of hearing it strike the e ground below with a heavy crash. My I < f idea' wgs to get possession of it again a* j I soon as possible, and 1 hail descended at J f n least half wiry when there was a snarl it from the roots of tho tree which brought j r my hair on end. I recognized the presence of s tiger, who might have been , e watting there for five minutes for all I j t knew. As 1 hurried back tomvjjerch I f beard his sharp claws tearing at the , a bark, and 1 was truly thankful fur the j it knowledge that he could not climb. Aa e I reached my perch I drew my knife as , l_ the only weapon left me. and tbe tiger, , e moment, walked out into the bright ( !. moonlight with deliberate step, looked , up at me with a low growl, and then f stood at the edge ol the pool and lapped ( >• the water. He waa engaged at tbi* when j I heard a loud "woof "'from the jungle, , 1 xtirtthenertTasUhftTrliuideerosBrbke l- covcrand came charging at (be tiger with ] . a rush that would bavr knocked down a , . stone wall, lib movement- proypd that £ i be was a had rhinoceros, and it eras pro- - bably Ibis fellow who had 'BnBoygd and f T excited the jaguar. „ j The tiger had warning oiough as the t i big beast name across the open, and he P stood in his tracks until I thought he , • would lie run down before ho moved a n foot. Then he lightly sprang aside, and ,. i the rhinoceros crashed into the pool, out i on tiie other side, and came lumbering ■ back with scarcely a hall in Ids gait. The . t tiger was waiting for him about twenty ( . feet from the edge of the basin. He was ' t crouched for a spring, and his tail moved 1 in a menacing way. The big beast uti tared another. "Woof I" and went for " i trim with hcBil down and teeth grinding. 1 Just at tho right Instant the tiger rose |, 1 and sailed right over Ids enemy like a ball curving iu the air, ami the rhinoceros passed on for thirty feet before he could check himself. Again the tiger was in n waiting, and now he uttered a continusport to him. As soon aa the rhinoceros got eyes on bim he charged again, and , ( this lime the tiger lighted oo |hia back , " and clung there. The big fellow stood 1 still for a moment, and then began galloping around in a circle and giving ut-! f terance to snorts of rage. It struck me J nil *t once Ural 1 ought to take advantage , of the situation to secure inv gun. I f started to descend, hut it seemed that the c tiger had his eye on me. He left "the a ' back of the rhinoceros and ramr for me ( f with great bounds, anil I made haste , s back lo my perch. The rhinoceros fol. f utes persevered In his attacks, the tiger now growling and showing his teeth and j . evidently becoming annoyed. lie several , times leaped to tbe back of the beast and „ clawed at bim In the fiercest manner, hut | , 1 doubt If he Inflicted any injury through |. the tough hide- Tho rhinoceros stepped i t on the slock of my rifle and crushed it, n an I I knew then I was doomed to an all. t . night watch on the platform, with only t she knife to defend myself. „ After ten or fifteen minutes of hard work, without accomplishing anything j In the way of besting the tiger, the rhi- I noceros got some sense in bis head and " ' moved, on into the jungle, where he [' ! thrashed about in an ugly way for a long „ time. The tiger soon showed by his ae. n , lions that he wanted me very badly. He ' uttered furious growls, clawed at the " bark of the tree, and madcsevcra! springs ,i which brought him within arm's length b | of the platform. JJe hail just falluulnck 19 ( fronvone Of these bounds when he utter, j | ed a sound so nnllke all Vnhers which „ had preceded it that my attention was al e ! once attracted.
