THE TAMING OF A TIGER.
HOW A WILD BEAsT WAS ME;-
MEBIZ3D IN INDIA.
An Astonishing Story of a Bride's
Rescue Subdued by Monotonous
Music and an Unfaltering Gaze—All
Fakirs Not Impostors.
From the Xetc York Ledger.
It was after dinner at the collector’s —let
ns call him the oollector of Metepoiam,
though that is not the name of his station
—and the taik had dr.fted on to a subject
which has many attractions for the m re
modem Anglo-Indian; that is to say. the
■object of the fakirs of India
“I was traveling delsh," the collector
began, “in one of the central provinces,
and after reaching the bungalow ois even
ing was smoking a cheroot oa the veranda
after supper, whoa the head man of the
nearest village appeared and begged per
mission to speak with the sahib. It ap
pea el from his statement that the village
was in a great commotion over the
declared intention of a native hunter of
much local renown to go in quest of the
cubs of a tigress that had recently
killed his little girl. The hunter said he
would make the beast unde stand herself
wv it felt to be bereaved of beryouug, and
he was stubborn about the plan. Now the
villagers at once perceived that If the tigress,
lost her cubs she would he furious, and that
the whole community would be eudaugered
by her anger. They had, therefore, begge I
and impl red the hunter to abandon his
purpose, but without moving him, and now,
as a last resource, they had Sint their head
man to ask the sahib if he w uld not use his
influence th prevent the threatened terrible
Inprudenoe, Of course I consented, but
when they went to seek the hunter to send
him tome the fellow could not be found. The
conclusion come to was that be had got
wind of the new movementof his neighbors,
and had overreached them by slipping
quietly into the jungle. Nothing now could
be done about the matter, and so the vil
lagers prepared for the night with more
than usual trepidation.
“The night was rather cool, and I slept
well until my cousumab woke me, when
the sun was up, with a dreadful and suffi
ciently exciting story. It appeared that
the obstinate hunter must have carried out
his project, and also hive got safely away
with the tiger cubs—the m ther, no doubt,
having been out bunting during the nignt,
and the little ones thus left unprotected.
How the villagers knew what hod hapjiened
was simple enough. It was broad day, aud
every one was about bis regular voca
tion, when a tremendous roar was
beard and a large tigress was see x advanc
ing swiftly and boldly to the village. Now,
of course, you know that a man eating tiger
soareely ever a; tacks in the daytime. That
is tor the great oarnivora tho period of rest
and retreat, aud they go hunting 0..1y when
night has fallen. The apnroach of the
tigress, therefore, so boldly argued an
unusual cause, and there was but tme p >*-
sible. namely, the loss of her cubs. The
creature was plainly furious and her
movements were so swift that though
the people instantly sought cover on
seeing her—some climbing the roofs of
houses and others getting into tbe trees—
the fierce beast struck down two, an old
man and a ohild, before the street was
emptied. Both her victims were dead, the
cousuinah said, and she was now literally In
possession of the village, pacing up and
down the street, sniffing at the closed doors
and from time to time eying thp low roofs,
as though she had more than half a mind to
try a spring upon one of them.
“Of oourse, the sahib was implored to
relieve the beleaguered village. They would
not ask me to kill the tigress, however. Such
a request would have been extremely im
proper and sacrilegious. But they knew
very well that the only way to help them
was to kill the brute, and they did not doubt
that I should take that view of tbe situation.
I need not hesitate to say that, while I saw
my duty clearly, I was not enamored of it.
To buut an enraged and desperate tigress Is
no holiday bnsidess, and, single handed,
it must be considered a somewhat
foolhardy undertaking. I happened
to have an express rifle with me,
however, and I had great confidence In it;
and 1 thought, too, that I could depend
upon at least two of my fellows who had
hunted large game with me before, My
preparations were soon made, and we set
off for the village. As we cautiously ap
proaohed the line of bouses, looking for the
tigress, a sudden clamor of voices—a sort
of horrified, helpless wail —arose from the
other end of the village, indicating a fresh
disaster. What it was a few steps dis
closed. There had been a marriage that
morning, and the wedding pro
cession must have been away
■when the tigress approached, while
evidently, in the terror and confusion, no
body thought of warning it; so it had gone
its way leisurely, and was returning in the
same fashion when the tigress sprang into
the middle of the parade, and b 'fore any
one could think, seized the bride by one
arm, threw the fainting form over her
back with a toss of her head, spraug twenty
feet away again, turned, growling an 1 fac
ing the horror-stricken crowd, aud lay
stretched out there, one heavy paw upon
the back of the girl, who was face down
ward, motionless, but whether dead or alive
It was impossible to ascertain.
“The position was a very difficult one.
To rescue the bride it was absolutely neces
sary that the beast should be killed stone
dead wi:h a single shot, aud there are not
many such shots to be had at a tiger, whose
tenacity of life is notorious. If only
wounded she would begin by tearing her
prey to pieces, and would thon, to a cer
tainty, charge on the villagers like a thu l
derbolt, and perhaps kill a half and ’zen of
them before it would be possible to dispatch
her. I confess I was perplexed, aud
the more so since I was debarred from
from trying a very promising shot because
the girl lay right in line with it. I was
trying to determine how best to circumvent
the ferocious brute, who lay lashing her
long tail, her ears flattened back and all
the fierceness and cruelty of her nature
shining in her flaming eyes, when, to my
amazement, I saw a man quietly emerging
from the crowd and walking straight to
ward the beast. A second glance showed
me that he was a fakir. He was naked but
for waist cloth and turban, and he held in
his right hand a slim, seven-jointed bamboo
cane or wand, very short and about
the dimensions of a conductor’s
baton. He went forward so composedly
and so sudden a silence fell upon
the crowd that I forgot all my own plans
and waited to see what would happen. The
fakir was a tall man. whose body and limbs
were so lean and emaciated as to make it
evident that he had reduced the problem of
nourishment to its lowest terms. His swarthy
face was still aud impassive as a mask, only
in his large, dark eyes there dwelt an ani
mation which indicated immense latent
energy. As he advanced, slowly and with
perfect calmness, his gaze was fixed stead
ily upon the great beast he was ap
proaching, and in his look there was an
exmessiou of command, not imperious or
proud, but full of Indomitable determina
tion. When he had proceeded so far beyond
the hu dling crowd of villagers as toTlraw
the attention of the tigress, the latter
began to manifest uumistakable anger. Bhe
r .se slowly from her crouching posture, her
lithe tail swung more swiftly to and
fro, a wivked snarl showed her yellow
fagus and, throwing hsr muzzle for
ward, she uttered a deep resonant
roar. The fakir did not pause an in
stant. With the same tranquil step he
paced forward, keeping his unwavering

I upon tbe face of the fasir. and iu tnis
jMr age way the man ad the wild beast as
- acaid each other, while ail who wit
n seed the scene it oi breathless, watching
] w hat should come of it.

j itv than was displayed bv this naked. d> |
| fensei6s man. I say defeaseleei, though •
( when I have fi ishtd you tnay be inclined
to question the accuracy of that definition.
At a 1 events, the fakir was armed w,th
iu material weapon, and, as far as I
could ju ige, he was absolutely at the
mercy of the tigress. I should have said
that as he drew nearer the beas he
began to chant rum trams in a low but
clear and singularly penetrating key aud
that this sound plainly reacted upon the
tnrreas, making her still more uneasy, and
al o apparently daunting her to some exte it.
\t last tbe two were within a couple of
yards of each other, and then a thing hap
pened the mere memory of whica gives me
quite a turn. Tbe tigress appeared—no, I
will not say appeared, for it was impossible
to misinterpret the pantomime—hut she
plainly resolved not to submit any longer
to the mysterious influence of this audaci' u 1
human being. Stopping shortly, she
drew herself together, laised her head high
and, concentrating ail her powers,
fixed upon the fakir eyes so filled with pure
devilish bate and ferocity, so blazing with
the passion of destruction that 1 could
hardly force myself to look longer upon
what I felt was about to become a sickening
butchery. But the fakir did not quail. He,
too, drew his tall form erect, and from his
eyes there plunged into the hellish ones over
against him a gaze so powerful, so irresisti
ble, as the event showed, that the now pur
pose of the brute was iuatantly checked.
How long tbe duel lasted I never knew.
Probably not a minute, though it seemed
nearer an hour to me. There the man and
beast stood at last, each rigid, moti nless,
each silent, lor the fakir had ceased to chant
and was concentrating all his powers in his
eyes.
“We waited in agonizing suspense. Then,
though the man did not stir, the animal
did. Its cruel crest sank, its fierce eves
lost their resolution, its savage lips emitted
an almost plaintive, whining sound, its
tawny flanks heaved as though it had been
running, tremor after tremor passed
through the creature’s body, and finally it
dropped its tail, sank Blowly down and
thrus its muzzle into the sand at its fakir’s
feet, as though in token of submission.
Then the fakir raised his chant again, and
began to wave his seven jointed bamboo
wand over the beast’s head. It crouched
lower; it stretched its If out supinely,
it kept its head down and avoided
the ardent eyes which had conquered
it. The fakir sat down gently by
the side of the tigress. Then he laid
his hand calmly upon her formidable head
and stroked it. She continued to whine,
but evorv minute less que: ulouslv and more
contentedly. The truth now flashed upon
me. The fakir was mesmerizing her. She
was going to sleep. And so it was. In a
few minutes complete lassitude marked her
attitude. Bbe rolled over on her side, her
eyes closed and she began to purr. The
fakir continued his musical, penetrating
chant, and with both bauds lie stroked her,
now on the head and down the side.
Presently she lay quiet, and he put Ills head
upou hur side os upon a pillow, and keep mg
one band upon her head, for the first time
turned toward us, aud made signs that we
should quietly tako away the pour girl,
who had been lying uncousolous or dead ali
this time Bhe was removed, and, happily,
had suffered nothing more than a broken
arm."
“And what beoame of the fakir and the
tigress I" someone asked of the collector.
“They lay there," he answered, “In sight
of all tbe village, for two hours. Then the
fakir rose, chanted some rnautrams and
made some passes over the animal. The
latter roused slowly, and when she was once
more upon her feet, tho fakir put bis hand
upon her neck, and in this positiou tbe pair
moved slowly out of the village, down the
white road and Into tbe jungle, where they
disappeared. I saw no more of either, but
neither I nor anv of the natives who had
witnessed the fakir’s performance doubted
for a moment that he was safe, and that."
concluded the collector, “is tny reason for
holding it rash to denounce all fakirs as im
postors.”
