THE IMITATION OF ANIMAL
SOUNDS.
BY LEKUT, COL. ANDREW BAGGARD, D. 8. U.
[Continued from page 6) There was not a min among my Bashi Hazouks who did not laugh at Mafor Mustapha Eendi Ramrie, but his Loasting was incorrigi- ble. I therefore determined to give bim a lesson that night when Iving on the sand in the Khor Ansab, which, us he well knew, was famous place for luns. In fact, before dark we had seen their tracks, old and new, in all

First, however. I warned the Turkish "sanjak" of my rascally bodyguard to see well to the picketing of the animals, for did not wish to lose a horse or camel as the result of a joke. The sanjak who hated the Egyptian, grinned from ear to ear and gave the necessary orders,
After supper, as we were sitting by the camp. fire in the shade of an overhanging bush. covered bank, I led the conversation to the subject of lions.
The Exyptian officer was boasting as usual when suddenly my English servant, who was in the plat, said, as if in afarm, while starting into the lrket: What's that sound, Musts pha Effendi? Don't you hear something cracking in there? Thops it's not another lio, forain not to brave about them as you are. We all listened intently. The crackling was plainly heard it was coming nearer; it did sound uncommonly us if a lion might be approaching,

This practical joke came every nearly to end tragically, for either the pursuer or the pursued for suddenly, at nu great dinance up the lion renowned Khor Ansaba, was beard an answering roar, and then another-nearer and nearer at hand. A real lion had taken up the challenge, and it was now our turn to be alarmed Seizing brands from the fire, and firing off tifles as we went, a party of us rushed up the rocky defile after the two men; the rest, by my order, rushed to guard the picketed animals, for there was no knowing how many of the brates there might be about, and lions often rear on purpose to make the terrified animals break away and then seize them. The reports of the sides the shouts, and above all the rating of the real lius, bad soon had their effect in causing the flying staff officer in halt terror-stricken between, is he imagined; two lionine foes, and the sham in to come back faster than he went, with all the raar taken au' of him.
Fortunately by the time that we reached poor Mustupi to find him petrified with fear, the bubhub made by the relieving force had driven the lion which had been all too successfully "call d” buck again to the fast- nesses of the hills.
From that time forward the crestfallen staff officer never mentioned the word lion, but the Abyssinian wag, whose imitative skill had called something in re tangible than "spirits from the vasty deep" from the dark recesses of the mountains, became the hero of the expedi tion. But I allowed no more practical jokes that night.-Arian,

If Peter fails to turn up at a dinner, and leaves a tea party desolate, one may surmise that he is, in youth's own fashion, making the golden hours irrevocably his own. The natu ral man, when he is young and curly, has a fine dislike to feeling tied. That, no doubt, is the reason why, Peter enrages so many bostėsigs by not answering their dinner invitations unti the eleventh hour, or by sending vague and
