This made the tracking is little dimcuit after we left the river-bed. but when we had . followed it slowly for acme distance, we come to 1 place where the lion had lain down under a thick bush evi- dently to shelter from the rain, as he spoon- nfter this was quiet distinct on the top or the damp ground.

Alter a time one of them was Able to walk about with his arm in I sling. and the other was getting on well, so one night i decided to leave the big camp next dsy and go with two or three camels to some villages only a day's march away. Early the next morning Ms- homed Noor. the headmnn, started with the camels. I stopped behind to get some breakfast.

The boy ought to have no rdiificnlty in following the tracks of two or three men and s lion. and if the pony is kept close up. it is sure to stamp or blow its nose. at the critical moment. 4 Foremost mong the great hunt- ing a'uthorities of the English 3 1:- ing world is Lord Delamere. s is credited with being the heaviest Eillr or in the party which bagged the record number of African (some some few years ago. In East Central Af- rica his prowess is familiar to every native. Not long ago a locality beset with lions sent a delegation four hundred miles to call on gLord Dela- mere to ask him to come and wi‘m1 out the destroyers of their cattle. In ‘ this artule he vividly contrasts the theory and _--pm¢lite of lion hunting in the region which Ez-President Roosevelt will' invade.

The lion was elmoet cer- tain to break out of one or the sides towarda the hush on the banks of the river-bed, in which cane I should get an easy broadside shot. If we fol- lowed the tr'aoh into the piece. the noiae we were sure to make would he1 very likely to get the beast on hie legs, and he would sneak out at one side as we went in at the other; een peclally as the water had left a lot of dead sticks along the edgee. over which it' would be impossible to walk guletly. Ahdnilah also laid that from the way he had wandered about thh lion must be very hungry. and would sleep lightly. These considerations decided no to drive. l posted myself .‘with Abdullah a few yarde out from the point, and the other'two men, hav- ing collected some stones. began throw- ing them in at the far end. Ahdnllah was right about this lion sleeping lightly; for at the first stone, there was a growl and a crash in the hnehea and then. for a minute or two, not a 1 sound. The men started to walk down, one on each aide, shooting and throw- ing in stones. I was watching them. and wondering what had happened to the lion, when there was a faint crackling met in front of us. and he appeared at the point of the inland. Although we were standing within a few yards of him, and absolutely in the open, he. did not see us. . , He was racing straight towards us. and was so cloee that i did not like to fire at him as. on receiving the bulc seemed now to have mule up No mind as to his direction. for he kept on straight down the middle of the river-bed.
