From Our Animal Friends.
When I was stationed up in the hill
country some twenty years ago I used to
bo passionately fond of hunting. I hadn’t
been out from England long, and the nov
elty of following big game had not yet
lost its charms. My duties did not occupy
a great deal of my time, and I could often
bo absent a week or ten days without
serious inconvenience to anyone. With a
couple of natives and my old “Henry" I
would set forth on Mowcha* my elephant.
Mowcha was an exetptionaJ line specimen
of his race, endowed with all its virtues
and but few of its faults. H? was strong,
patient, sagacious and devoted to his mas
ter. He had never been used as a working
elephant, but only for the purposes of the
chase. Y’ou should have seen his unvvield-
ly bulk making Its way noiselessly through
the thick junglo grass, hts great feet
lifted and put down with the utmost cau
tion, his flexible trunk darting in all di
rections to scent the game, and his small
eyes gleaming with excitement. He
seemed to know Instinctively the moment
to fire, and then he would not move a
muscle. Y'ou know it requires no small
amount of nerve to perfectly still
with a Bengal devil in a striped skin
charging at one, and too often It hap
pens that yotfr well-directed shot is
spoiled by the elephant's speedy retreat.
The natives deemed Mowcha superhu
man on account of his intelligence and
strength, and his mahout always called
him my lord the elephant and treated him
with the greatest respect. You know the
Hindoo belief, that the souls of one’s an
cestors have to reside for a period after
death in the bodies of animals till they
have atoned for their shortcomings on
earth, and, lest they might unwittingly
treat some of their grandfathers or great
grandfathers with disrespect, which would
be a criminal violation of their religion. It
is their custom to give to each of the in
mates of the jungle a particular title, as,
for Instance, his highness the tiger, or
king the lion, etc. So Mowcha was more
often addressed as my lord the elephant
than by his retal name.
He was a great pet In the regiment,
and for the children at the station there
was no better sport than to climb into
the howdah, shrieking with laughter, and
have a ride on Mowcha. He seemed to
enjoy it as much as they did, and carried
his precious burden with the greatest
dignity. He was really handsome, as ele
phants go, and looked his best when
adorned with his scarlet trappings and
harness, and bearing the howdah tilled
with merry children, and it was a pretty
sight to see them afterward bestowing
upon nim his reward in the shape of
pineapples, bananas, and mangoes, all of
which he loved to stow away in his ca
pacious stomach.
I tell you all these details that you
may understand my grief when he sud
denly disappeared one night in early
spring. My lord the elephant had been
restless for several days, his mahout in
formed me afterward, and that evening
he had managed to break his chain and
had vanished in the darkness. Whether
he had been spirited away bv a clever
thief, or had decided that he had worked

for man long enough and would now re
turn to his native woods and the society j
of his kin !. we never knew, of course, but
we mi see 1 him more than one would think
and for some time the cry among the
children was: “If Mowcha were only
hare!’*
1 tried a number of other elephants for
my hunting, but could not fill his place, |
and, as my duties increased about that |
time, my gun rarely left Its case, and my
cartridge belt hung, unused, on the wall.
About three or four years later I was in- j
vited to spend the Christmas holidays with
an English friend who was giving a house
party at his place further up in the hills,
i easily obtained leave and started with
but one servant. Ramon. He had formerly
b*n Mowcha’s mahout, but after that
brute’s uncanny disappearance he had at
tached himself to me and proved to be a
very handy fellow. We were mounted on
hardy little ponies, and the first day mad •
about fifty miles, spending the night at
the hut of one of the forest rangers w’bo
are stationed by the government as a
guard along the edges of large and im
portant forests. The next day we plunged
into the forest itself. Toward midday we
were startled by hearing a fearful, thun
derous roaring, as of some monster in its
death agony. At that distance I did not
r**ognize it as the voice of any wild an
imal I was acquainted with, and turned
to Ramon for an explanation. His dark
skin was bleached to ashen gray.
“It's a herd of elephants!" he exclaimed,
“and they are sounding their battle cry.
If they come this w-ay It means certain
death. We cannot escape them."
it certainly seemed as though they were
headed In our direction, for the noise grew
louder, and we could feel the ground
trembling beneath us at the trampling or
many feet.
"Follow me, sahib," cried Ramon, as he
threw* himself from the horse and has
tened to one of the larger trees, which
he began to ascend with the utmost rapid
ity. 1 did the same, my progress being
hindered, however, by my heavy riding
boots. We had no time to secure our po
nies. ami the frightened animals, as soon
as they were released, sprang nimbly
through the thickets and disappeared, and
with them, of course, vanished our only
m* ans of escape from the forest, even
though the elephants should pass us by
unharmed.
We reached our position of safety none
too soon, 1 could see the heavy forest
branches shaking violently, and soon a
huge gray mass broke through, shambling
along at a remarkable rate of speed, not
twenty yards from us, and screaming
with vicious rage.
“It’s a rogue elephant, sahib," said Ra
mon. “They are chasing him from the
htrd."
Such, indeed, seemed to be the case, for a
hundred yards behind him came another
enormous figure. which was headed
straight for out place of refuge. As by
lightning flash I Saw* the horrible death
that menaced us. I already felt myself
falling to the ground, in a second more to
be trampled to death under those im
mense feet. But at that instant I heard
Ramon call out boldly, “Let-rah gaj, M (lie
down). The great beast paused. “Let
rah, let rah,” again he cried, and, to my
tl b creature obediently
went down upon its knees.
Ramon quickly descended, calling me to
follow. \N here a black leads, h white man
does not lag behind, and down I went. I
did not understand how the tragical
transformation had been effected, but as
I turned and caught sight of the animal, I
comprehended it all; around the great
foreleg was a chain, the end of which still
trailed on the ground. The quick eye of
the native had seen it; he knew that the
animal must have been in captivity at
some time, and called out the word of
command, hoping that it would be obey
ed. He was not disappointed; for al
though the small eyes still gleamed with
an ugly red light, and the trunk waved
mutinously in the. air, the great creature
ha i not forgotten his former training. We
approached him cautiously at first, but
presently Kamon rushed fearlessly up to
the brute and petted him effusively, call
ing him by every name of endearment.
“Ah, ’tis thou, my lord the elephant! ’Tis
thou, leader of the herd, wiser than the
wise men of the temple, beautiful as a
lotus bud, strong as the winds of heaven!
Oh, great Lord Mowcha! Thy slave sa
lutes thee!"
Truly enough, it was our old Mowcha,
who, In spite of lapse, of time and change
ot place, had not forgotten his old masters
and the familiar word of command.
Allthis had happened within a few* mo
ment*. The great herd was still crashing
through the forest all around us, trumpet
ing with rage and shaking the ground in
their fury. Should one of them chance to
come near enough to see Us our lives
would not he worth .a farthing. Mowcha
seemed to understand the situation per
fectly, for, his anger all gone, he seized
Ramon gently -with his strong trunk and
set him upon his neck, where the mahout
usually rides; he grasped me with the
samo ease am! pl.’ced me heside him. Then
he rose and smarted off at a good pace in
the direction Opposite to that taken by
the rest of his fcdlows, and soon their
screams and thunderings had died away
in the distance.
wondered where my lord the ele
phant intended to convey us, whether to
his native jungles or to the post again.
Ramon tried to guide him. but found it
impossible without the help of the usual
ankus, or goad, so we confined our efforts
to keeping our balance and staying on his
back, a somewhat diflicult task without
the aid of harness or howdah.
briefly told, his strong, steady pace
never failed for over ten hours, until we
entered tho post again. Our approach had
been descried from afar, and every living
soul had turned out to view the spectacle.
When it perceived that it was Mowcha,
dear old Mowcha, who was bringing us
back in safety, a hearty cheer broke
from all throats, a cheer for my lord the
elephant. The children clapped their
hands and shrieked with joy, and even the
soldiers shared the general enthusiasm.
We gave my lord the elephant a feast
such as never elephant had had before,
but he did not to enjoy the dain
ties spread before him so much as the
moment when the howdah was placed on
his and he was led forth, surround
ed by the children, whom he once more
bore solemnly around the post.
For two days he remained with us, and
was the object of attention and love; then
he became restless, and we fancied he
again longed for his forest home. So the
cruel chain was stricken off his huge hoof,
and mv lord the elephant, with roses and
branches wreathed around his great neck
and hanging from his stubby tusks, was
led forth Christmas morning in triumphal
procession and given his liberty. It was
the best Christmas present we could give
him; he accepted it gratefully, and soon
the huge mass had disappeared.
It is as te embodiment of strength, love,
and gratitude that I remember him; and
because he saved me from a fearful death
that I drink on each Christmas day to my
lord the elephant.

During the fall of 1877, just after the
expedition which had resulted in the run
ning down and capturing of Chief Jo

was detached to make a scout from Camp
Brown down through the Rattlesnake
range to the Platte river, and from there
to the Yellowstone by way of the Goose

and was noted in the regiment for his
feats of muscular ability. We ascended
the mountain by a d*er trail. Lee riding 1
in advance. The trail led up a “hog

of the mountain, when we had to pick our
way over the side hill until we struck,
another trail winding in a zigzag manner
toward the summit We dismounted and
led our horses, for the trail was danger
ously close to the edge of a cliff that
formed one side of an Immense canon,
whose depth xve could not guess. Nar
rower and narrower grew the trail as we
advanced, until It seemed to terminate
at a point oni# a short distance in front
of us. We moved forward cautiously,
for on one side the mountain appeared
to rise from under our very feet into a
wall of solid rock; on the other side, we
looked Into the depths of the great canon,
w-hlch would prove an eternal grave to
either of us should h** lose his foothold
and topple Into It. The apparent termi
nation of the trail was due to a curve
at that point, to round which it required
steady nerves. We passed It safely, but
had not gone twenty yards when both
horses bent their ears forward, snorted
and showed evidences of the greatest
terror. Before I couM ascertain the cause
of it, being in rear of Lee’s horse, a shot
was fired that awoke 10,000 echoes.
hat fullow’ed the sound of the shot
happened so quk*kl> that I did not realize I
danger until *T found myself hanging be- ;
tween life and death. My horse, unable j
to see what was in the path ahead of us,
but whose Instinct warned him of the
presence of some dreaded wild beast, had
stopped in terror, and when the shot was *
fired suddenly threw up his head and 1
began barking. I had pulled the reins over
his head when. I had dismounted, and held
them in my right hand, to which fact I
owed my escape from instant death. The
rapid backward movement of the horse
and the sudden tossing of his head threw |
me off my balance, and before I could re- :
cover 1 was falling over the cliff. In
stlnctively I tightenml my hold on the
reins and endeavored to grasp the edge
of the cliff with my left hand as I was
rolling over. I did succeed in checking the
chock of my fall somewhat, but could not
secure a hold sufficient to sustain my
weight. For a moment I hung suspended
over the terrible abyss, my whole weight
resting upon my right arm. Quick as a
flash I grasped the- reins with my left j
also, and there I hung, expecting death I
every instant, for T knew ‘that my horse '
would not stand km" in the position he
then held. I could s-c him standing above
me. and the beauty of his pose and the
rigidity of hip position, as he stood braced
against the weight dangling at the end of
his bridle rein, made an Impression upon
my memory that will never be eradicated.
I asked myself how much longer it was
possible to hang by so frail a support as a
bit of leather. The grip of my hand was
so tight that my finger-ends were tingling
and burning as though touched with a
hot Iron.
Suddenly another shot rang out, awak
ening a myriad of echoes that seemed to
mock me with shrill laughter. Again that
backward movement of my horde, and, as
I felt the reins drag along the edge of tho
precipice, I thought 1 must surely let go
and fall. Strange thoughts began to flash
through my brain, mental pictures of
loved ones long since dead appeared to
whisper prayers for me, there was singu

heard my name spoken. At first I thought
it was but the voice of one of the visions

there it sounded again. It was Lee’s
voice, calm, collected and inspiring. He
was whispering words of caution. Open
