of them and the terriers worshiped the
tigress. To alloy the fears of a woman
visitor the tigress was one night chain?
ed up. Next morning the animal wns
found with a mini under bei'. She had
not hurt him. lie was a thief and, not
knowing of her existence, bad come
within the area which her length of j
