Tongla asked in a lowtone, as he tried to reach his machete, which lay afew feet from him; but the beast rolled him backwith one paw as a cat plays with a mouse, keepingits head turned toward Roy meanwhile. If I should shoot now, some of the shot wouldbe sure to strike you. Better that than to be killed by these teeth.Fire, and pay no heed to me!

We have nothing more to fearfrom him. Are vou wounded ? V I dont think so, the boy replied; and then, ashe saw the ensanguined liquid which completelycovered his garments, he added, It seems as ifsomething
