Our camp is made in a. grove between the water hole on the north and the thicket on the south, and right through the center of the grove, leading from thicket to water, is a. hard-beaten path. elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, zebra, Springbok, buffalo, lien, hyena, wolf and jackal have trod this path on occaSions. The hunters have driven the big game out of this section of Griqua Land, but the path is still in use. Even before the sun goes down a. big hycna, panting with thirst, dodges us to the right to get to the water, and three wolves emerge from the thicket, to make a. hasty retreat at sight of the camp. As soon as supper is disposed of the oxen are secured to the Wheels of the wagons, a. large quantity of fuel brought in, and then the forty natives close up the openings with a. breast work of thorn bushes. They make this breastwork thickest and highest on the south side, and they further strengthen it with sharp stakes as in abatis. I ask them why they do this, and Old Mingo grins and replies: “This is the path by which the king comes and goes, and he will be angry when he finds us here.” The sun went down, darkness came like the fall of acurtain, and presently we heard from the king. A mile or more away to the north, in some dark, cool spot in the great thicket, he had been sleeping away the summer’s day. Best and sleep had brought thirst. He would drink his fill and then stalk through his realms and exhibit himself to his subjects, asking no favors, but commanding servility from all. I heard the distant rumble of thunder and stood up to see from which direction the storm was approaching. “It is not thunder, but the voice of the king,” said l‘dingo as he leaned against one of the trees. Five minutes later the sound came again. t was nearer now, and this time I could not be deceived. Lions in captivity will roar when excited, but it is a. weak imitation of the voice of :n. lion on his native heath. The roar of a full-grown lion as he moves out of his lair for the night is a signal to every living thing for miles around that he is astir and a challenge to every- thing with life to cross his path at their peril. No hunter hears it without feel. ing awed at its immense volume and power—without making obeisance to the throne from which it comes as a. proclamation. There. is a longer interval this time. His highness has got our scent and is perhaps a bit puzzled and put out, though all the time he is advancing to- ward ns and intends to make it thor- ough examination. During this inter- val the oxen crowd closer together and begin a, low, sad moaning, and after heaping fuel on the fircs the natives hide away in wagons or find safe places in the tree tops. The captain and I are left alone, and as we get out our dou- ble-barreled shotguns and slip in buck— shot cartridges the king reaches the edge of the thicket and stands for a moment, without the slightest move- ment, to stare at us. It is a starlit night. and Mingo, who is perched above my head, can plainly see his royal highness and will keep us posted. Now comes a. roar which drops half the cattle to their knees and fills the ear like thunder rumbling along a mountain side. It begins as if the lion were in a. deep pit almost at our feet, and when it reaches its climax the bel— ' lowing of a. dozen oxen would be drowned out. The dying away is like the beginning, but through it all is a. savageness that tries the nerves far more than the brief roar of a tiger as he leaps up for a charge. We are camped on the king’s highway. and that roar expresses his surprise and indignation at our audacity. The glare of the camp-fires is a. new sight to him. The big white—topped wagons have never greeted his eyes before. As he stands and switches his tail about he must realize that the camp is a strong one and that he has :1 ’\ friends wit-hi3. but fear is not mini." s i with his indig- nation. “The king is coming, master!” shouts Mingo from his perch, and we get ready to greet him. There is no more roaring; He has challenged us and defied us. and now he is coming to punish us for daring to obstruct the path which perhaps he first marked out as aroyal highway. Everything is so quiet for amoment that we can hear his footfalls. He does not advance a few feet and then halt, but comes stright on, his head well up, his eyes shining. and his long tail switching the bushes each side of the path. Mingo can read his inten- tions by his walk, and he shouts down to us: “Look out, master! Ho into the camp!” The captain took a tree abou twenty feet from the one shelteringme. and 'we dropped to our knees and brought our guns to a. ready. The path was midway between us. The king did not change his pace until he came within 100 feet of the breastwork. Then he uttered a catlike snarl, broke into a run to get his spring, and five. feet from the thorn bushes he lifted him- self and came sailing over like a. great bird. The height was fourteen feet. The distance on a straight line was thirty-tWo feet. Both of us fired at ’him before he landed and again as he touched the earth, but all four shots missed. He bounded up the path between us, cleared one of the tents at a leap, and landed among the oxen. The natives raised a. direful yell, and to this was added the bellow- ing of the frantic cattle, and before we could seize fresh guns and, cover fifty feet of ground the king had taken his departure. One ox was dying of a broken back and two others were badly clawed, but that was getting off cheap. ,The beast kept on to the water hole. quenched his thirst, and then roared us another defy. I went down to the breastwork on that side and emptied my Winchester at him as fast as I could pull the trigger. He snapped and spat at the bullets whistling by, but was too proud to retreat under fire. When I 01; through shooting he lay down With his head on his paws and watched our campfire, but after awhile, satisfied that he had sufiered no loss of repute: will come tion, he rose up and stalked'awaj: into: him no more; the darkness, and we saw -.-.Cliica.go Times; .. \. f ) SOUTH NORWALK. _Samucl Nash is again handling the ribbons on a Tramway car.

When the case came before Justice Barrett this morning the prisoner plead- ed guilty and gaveas an excuse for striking Boy on the head witha thin board that the latter had written ob- scene namcs on his work-bench and had annoyed him in various ways. The Justice remarked that if it could be , proven that Boy wrote the names and Dornokos would make a complaint he would see that he too was fined more than the $51 that he imposed upon the accused.

Some of the Disagrccable Features of Life on a L glit-Shlp. Tall: about rolling and pitching! N0 vessel rolls, pitches and plunges like a light-ship. Its anchors hold it firm to the shock of the waves. There is no yielding, no graceful swaying to the swelling of the seas. There are days, too, when a fierce fog-horn torments the ear with a noise such as nature in. her angriest moods never invented. There is always a glare of light at night. There is no constant expecta- tion of reaching port, and life soon be- comes a dreary monotony. In case the light-ship should be cast adrift, it has been fitted with sails which will enable it to hold its own in storm and stress. The hold is fitted with spacious store-rooms and sleeping- quarters, and a. machine for compress- ing the air which blows the fog~horn. These fog-horns are what are known in this country as “siren” whistles. They are called sirens probably because that is what they least resemble. They be- gin their noise with a. ;very thin high note that dis resses the ear." Then they descend to the low note, and up and down in rapid succession the shrieking demonlike noises race. One French writer has said that the possi- bilities of this fog-horn are such that lie wonders that some music-leader hasnot introduced it in the ' orchestra when the Wagner operas are played. A compressed-air trumpet, he thinks—.- and it is just possible that there may be a little national prejudice in his opinion—would go well with mytho- logical "characters and dragons and unearthly storms ’ and noisos.
