Combat Between Buffalo and Tiger. Then all at once I heard heavy feet forcing their way through the tangle. The giant grass ahead of me swayed and bent down, and n moment later a splendid buffalo cow breasted her way out of the entanglement and stood In the open Suspiciously she sniffed the air and then throwing her faco toward heaven, she bellowed like thunder. I seemed to shake In the tree. A moment later nn answer came, as If from miles away, and the cow replied. She shook her mighty horns and then drovo them Into the earth. She walked up to the tiger's kill and sniffed It. Again the thunder of her throat burst the silence. Suddenly she showed uneasiness. She turned nnd looked with lowered head past my tree. My eyes followed hers. My tiger was there, Just on tho Jungle's edge, within Its protecting grass, skulking si lently along, with his white belly sweep ing the ground. Ho saw the buffalo Ho stopped motionless, save for his twitch ing, writhing tall. The cow scattered the loose earth with a stroke of her hoof Shoot I could not, I would not. I wanted to see tho Jungle drama. Slowly the tiger crept Into the open, never straight ening his elastic body, his eyes fastened on the cow. Ills Jaw hung half open and dripping. Round and round In a circle he went, trying to get behind the buffalo; but she wns too quick for him. Ho paused and drew himself Into a ball, his tall lashing the ground. Then, nke a rocket, his bodv shot through tho air, ns with a thunderous iii-imw mo muraio charged, her mighty horns leveled. They met In the air. The BiiuvK nuneii mem both to earth. In a (lash they were up, and with another roar, another bellow, they charged. TK tiger missed, but his lenp landed him behind the buffalo, nnd, turning swlftlv, ho sprang upon her back. But before his teeth snnk Into her flesh, sho threw herself over and rolled. Tho tlgfr. to protect himself, loosened his grip; again he seized her as sho sprang to her feet.
