A TILE OF THREE LIONS.
BY H. RIDER HAGGARD,
'“The lion? the lion? holloaed Pharaoh,
and he did so ho, or she, for it was a great,
gaunt lioness, half wiki, no doubt, with
hunger, lit right in the middle<of the skerm,
and stood there in the smoky gloom and
lashed her taiband roared. I seized my rifle
anti fired it at her, but -what between the con
fusion and my agitation and the uncertain
light, I missed her and nearly shot Pharaoh
The flash nf the l isle, however, threw the
whole scene Into strong relief, and a wild one
It was, I can tell you—with the seething mass
of oxen twisted all around the cart in such a
fashion that their heads looked as though
they were growing out of their rumps and
their horns seemed to protrude from their
backs: the smoking fire, with just a blaze in
the heart of the smoke; Jim-Jim in the fore
ground, where the oxen had thrown him in
j their wild rush, stretched out therein terror:
1 and then, as a center to the pi' ture, the
j great, gahnt lioness glaring round with
j iiungry, yellow eyes, roaring and whining as
she made up her mind what to do.
1 “It did not take her long, however—just
I as long as it takes a flash to die into dark
-1 ness—-for before I could fire again or do nuy
| thing, with a most fiendish snort she sprang
1 upon poor Jim-Jim.
( “I heard the unfortunate lad shriek, and
I then almost instantly I saw his legs thrown
■ into the air. The lioness had seized him by
! the neck, and with a sudden jerk thrown his
' body over her back so that his legs hung
| down nt the further side.
I “Then, without the slightest hesitation,
I and apparent!}’ without any difficulty, she
I cleared the skerm fence at a singl' l bound,
1 and, bearing poor Jim-Jim with her. v.-uished
! into the darkness beyond in the direction of
i the bathing place that I have already de
scribed. Wo jumped up, perfectly mad with
! horror and fear, and rushed after her, firing
I shots at haphazard, on the chance that she
would be frightened by them into dropping
i her prey, but nothing could we see and 110th
i ing could we hear. The lioness had vanished
! into the darkness, taking Jim-Jim with her.
■ and to attempt to follow her till daylight was
| madness. We should only expose ou reel vis
I to the risk of a like fate.
j “So with scared and heavy hearts we crept
j back to the skerm and sat down to w.tit f--r
! daylight, which now could not bo much more
i than an hour off. It was absolutely us. less
I to try even to disentangle the oxen till then,
so all that was left for us to do was to sit and
i wonder how it came to pass that <»;:u should
■ be taken and the other left, and to h<»pc
j against hope that or.r poor servant might
■ have Ir eu mercifully delivered from the lion‘-
jaws. At length the faint light came steal-
i ing liken ghost up the long slope of bush
■ and glinted on the tangled oxen’s horns,
i and with frightened faces we got up and
I sot to the task of disentangling tho oxen til!
■ such time as there should bo light enough to
j enable us to follow the trail of the lioness
which had gone oIT with Jim-Jim. And here
a fresh trouble awaited us, for when at last,
with infinite difficulty, we had got the great
helpless brutes loose, it was only to find that
one of them was very sick. Thero was n<>

i when a lion had walked off with his herder.
, It Was exactly what I should have • xpect- d,
and 1 was therefore neither disappointed nor
' surprised.

I “Se, taking my rifle and telling Harry to
follow me (for we had to L ave Pharaoh t >
I look after the oxen—Pharaoh’s lean J h." 1
called them), I started to see if anything
, could be found of or appertaining to the un
' fortunate Jim-Jim. The ground round our
little camp was l;ard and rocky, .and we
I could not '% off any spoor of the '■ • ■ ,
though just outside the skerm we f-.ix. a. drop

ramp, and a little to the right, was a p;i: hos
sugar bush, mixed with the usual mimosa, and
1 for this I made, thinking that the lion- s
would have been sure to take her pre}’ there
'to devour it. On we pushed through the
■ long grass, that was bent down bn.. >:tl. the
1 weight of the soaking dew. In two niinb. -
: we were wet through up to our thighs, as
wet as though we had waded through, water.
i In due course, however, we reached the
pat-h of bush, aud in the gray light of the
I morning cautiously and slowly pushed our
way into it. It was very* dark under the
trees, for the sun was not yet up, so we walk
cd with the most extreme care, half expect
ing every minute to come across the IL a less
licking the bones of poor Jim-Jim. But no
lioness could we see, and as for Jim-Jim,

“So pushing through the bush we proceeded
to hunt every other likely spot about, will)

•• ‘I suppose she inurt have taken him right
away,’ I said at last, sadly enough. ‘At any
r-.tv, he will be dead by now, so God have
1 icrcy on him, wo can’t help him What’s to

“ ‘I suppose that we had better wash our
selves in the pool and then go back and get
- to cat. lam filthy," said Harry.
••This was a practical, if a somewhat un
ft'ciing, suggestion. At least it struck me as
n’o’.-eling to talk of washing when }X)or Jim-
Em bad been so recently eaten. However, I
did not let my sentim<nt carry me away, s y

* CHAPTER HI.
“Poor Jim-Jim 1 IVe buried what was left
of him, w’pe’a was not ver.v much, in an old
j bread bag, and though whilst lie lived his ;
’ virtues were not great, now that he was gone
1 we could have wept over him. Indeed, Harry

there is an end of the book of Jim-Jim,

hat it would not be wise to miss the ;

ay ing them one on tho other in such a fashion.

jur experienco'of the fate of Jim-Jim, seemed
1 very necessary precaution, since if where

he further question, how were we to beguile
The lioness to return <■' Lions are animals that i
have a strange knack of appearing when they .
ire not wanted, and keeping studiously’ out ;
>f tho way when their presence is required. j
“Harry, who, as I have said, was an emi> •
nently practical boy, suggested to Pharaoh j
hat he should go anil sit outside the skerm in 1
•ho moonlight as a sort of bait, assuring him {
hat he would have nothing to fear, as wo I
would certainly kill the lioness before she 1
killed him. Pharaoh, however, strangely I
enough,d inot
indeed, ho walked away, much put out with !
Harry for having made it.
“It gave mo an idea, however.
“ ‘Well,’ I said, ’there is that ox. He must ’
die sooner or later, so we may as well utilize
him.’
“Now, about thirty yards to tho left of our !
skerm. if one stood facing’ down the hill to
ward the river, was the stump of a tree that ■
had been destroyed by lightning many years ,
before, standing equidistantly between, but [
a little in front of, two clumps of bush. I
wlii'.-h were severally some fifteen paces
from it.
•*i!( r . was the very place to tie thoox; and (
accordingly a little before sunset tho poor .
animal was led forth by Pharaoh and made
fast there, little knowing, poor brute, for
whatpurpo.se; and wo commenced our long '
vigil, this 1 imc without a fire, for our object I
j was to attract the lioness and not to scare ,
her.
“For hour after hour we waited, keeping •
ourselves awake by pinching each other—it |
is, by tho way, remarkable what a difference ;
in the force of pin -bos requisite to the oeca- !
sion exists in the my.id of pincher and i
pinch ' —but no lioness came. The moon '
waxed and tho moon waned, and then at last :
the moon went down, and darkness swal- *
lowed up tho world, but no lion came to I
swallow us up. We waited till dawn, because 1
we did not dare to go to sleep, and then at I
last we took such rest as we could get.
“That morning uc wont <»ut ihg, not '

about 500 p ices from us, on a stretch of com- '
pnrativcly level ground that was strewn with 1
bowl h rs. On it went, taking the bowlders
in its path in a sue.s ion of great bounds j
that were beautiful to behold. As it did so I J
hap]>en?d to look round at Harry, and per
ceived to my astonishment that ho had got

stretched themselves out in a spasmodu '
fashion, and it lit on them and tin y doubled i

down on to its head. For a moment it seemed j
to be standing on jis horns, its bind legs high
in the air, and then over it went and lay still. |
“‘Great h .-ivensf I said, ‘why, you’ve bit

I do verily believe that Tn his heart of hearts
ho set down the death of that koodoo to the
credit of his own skill. Now, though the lad
was a tidy shot enough, this of Course WfW
ridiculous, and I told him so ery plainly
“By the time that we had finished our sup
leer of koodoo steaks (which would have been 1
I letter if the koodoo had been a little younger)
it was time to get ready for Jim-Jim’s mur
der* s again. All the afternoon Pharaoh
told us the unfortunate ox had been walking
round and round in a circle as cattle in the
last stages of redwater generally do. Now it
had come to a standstill, and was swaying to
and fro with its head hanging down So we
tied him up to the stump of the tree as on
previous night, knowing that if the lioness
I did not kill him ho would bo dead by morn
ing. Indeed, I was afraid that he would bo
of little use as a bait, for a lion is a sports
manlike animal, and, unless he is very hun
gry, generally prefers to kill his own dinner,
though when once killed ho will comeback
to it again and again.
“Then Ave repeated our experience bf th*,
previous night. Sitting there hour aftef Hour,
till at last Harry went fast asleep, and even
1. though I am accustomed to this sort of
thing, could scarcely keep my eyes open.
Indeed, I was just dropping off, when Pha
raoh gave me a shove.
“ ‘Listen!’ ho whispered.
“I was all awake in a second, and listening
with all my ears: From th? clbriip nf bush tc
, the right of the lightning shattered stump tc j
which the ox was tied came a faint crackling
j noise. Presently it was repeated. Something
1 was moving there, faintly and quietly enough,
but still moving perceptibly, for in tho in
, lense stillness of the night any sound seemed
‘ loud.
•I woke up Harry, who instantly said:
‘Where is she? Where is she?’and begun tc
point his rifle about in a fashion that Was
moke dangerous to us and Uie bxeii tli.'tu tc
any possible lioness.
“ ‘Hush up.” I whispered savagely; and ns 1
did so with a low and hideous growl a flash
• of yellow light sped out of the clump of tush,
past the ox, and into the corresponding clump
upon the other side. Tho poor sick brute gave
a sort of groani and staggered round and ik.cn
• began to tremble. 1 could it do so cD.-.rlv
i in the moonlight, which was now very bright,
and I felt a brute for having exposed tho un
fortunate animal to such terror as he must
I undoubtedly be undergoing. The lioness, for
it was she, passed so quickly that wo <• uld
■ not even distinguish her movements, much
less shoot. Indeed at night it is absolutely ,
1 useless to attempt to shoot unless the object I
, if; very close and standing perfectly still, and ;
then the light is so deceptive and it is so difll
cult to see the foresight that tbo best shot
will miss more often than ho hits.
“ ‘She will be back again presentlyt ■ iid: |
, ‘look out, but for heaven s sake don't lire iln
-1 loss I tell you to.’
“Hardly were the words out of my meuth
when back she came and again passed the ox
without striking him.
“‘What on earth is she doing'*’whispered
Harry.
“ ’Playing with it ns a eat does a mouse, I
suppose. She will kill it presently.’
“As I spoke the lioness once more fla hod
1 out of the bush, and this time sprang right
over the doomed ox. It was an exciting
l sight to sco her clear him in the bright moon

“ ‘I believe that she escaped from a oin us.
whispered Harry; ‘it’s jolly to see her ju: ;p."
“I said nothing, but I thought to myself .
! that if it was Master Harry did not quit, up- ;
! preciate tho performance, and small blame '
to him. At any rate, his teeth were chat:er- i

i a fierce growl of contentment. When she
lifted her muzzle again and stood facing us
■ obliquely, I whispered, ‘Now’s our time, fire
i when I do.’
“I got on to her as .well as I could, but
Harry, instead of waiting for me as I told
him, fired before I did, and that of course
hurried me. When the smoko cleared. 1. «w
--ever. 1 was delighted to see that the lio-e ss
was rolling about on the ground be’rdnd
tho body of the ox, which covered her
in such a fashion, however, that we could not
bhoot again to make an eud of her.
“ ‘She’s done fort she’s dead.” yelled
Pharaoh in exultation; and at that very mo
ment the lioness, with a sort of convuLive
rush, half rolled, half sprang into tho patch
of thick bush to the right. I fired after hoi
as sho went, but so far as I could sco without
result. Indeed, the probability is that J
missed her clean. At any rate, sho got to Ihe
bus’) in safety, and once there, began to make
such a diabolical noise as I never hoard lx>
fore. She would whine and shriek, then
burst cut into perfect volleys of roaring taut
shook the whole place.
“ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘wo must just let her roar
to go into that bush after her at night v.ouki :
be madness.’
“At that m mient, to my astonishment r.nd
alarm, there came an answering roar from
th-.,■ direction of tho river and then ano"her
from Ix'hind the sw« 11 of bush. Evidently
' th«‘r;* were mon' lions about. The won .ded
li<»n. »•; redoul led her efforts, with the o’.-J“ct,
. ,of 8 ■ monin ; the oth< r • x 1
si iancc.-. At any rate they came, and
• I ’ ■ idy, ton, for within five minutes, p*.- ; ing
through the bushes of our skerm fenc*', we
saw a magnificent lion bounding along to
ward us through the tall tamboulin r.>:ks
• ili.-. in Iho moonlight looked for all the v rid .
lii: • ripi-ning corn. On he came in feat
1 • .> . id a glorious sight it was to see l-’.n.
Wl. : 1 witbin fifty yards or so ho stood/'.ill
in an op< n space and roared, and the llou-'tss
roared too. and then thero come a third r nr,
and another Lgreat black maned lion stalked
majes' and joined No. 2, and really
: 1 !> - • ' to realize what Jim-Jim must 1 ;ve
“‘.\'->w, Harry,’ I whispered, ‘what -er
you do, don't lire—it's too risky. If they I t
us bo. lot them bo.’
“Vi'cll, the pair of them marched off tthe
1 bush, where tho wounded lioness was row
! roaring double tides, and the whole t-hr< ? oi
tliom began to snarl and grumble away to
gether there. Presently, however, the 1
os eeai-cd roaring and the two lions came cut
again, the black maned one first—toprosp ct,
I suppose—and walked to where the car ass
, of tlie ox lay and sniffed at it.
“ ‘Oh, what a shot’’ whispered Harry, '.ho
was trembling with excitement.
“ ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘but don’t fire; they rr. ht
all of them come fcr us.’
“Harry said nothing, but whether it was
from tho natural willfulness of youth, or Le
' cause he was thrown off his balance by ex
. citement, or from sheer recklessness, I am
i sure I cannot tell you, never having I cn
able to get a satisfactory explanation ii -.11
him; bat at any rate the fact remains, he,
without a word of warning, entirely di 0-
1 garding my exhortations, lifted up his TV; st
| ley Richards and fired at the black ma .cd
lion; and, what is more, hit it slightly on the
| flank.
“Next second thero was a most awful rear
from the injured brute. He glared are u 1
him and roared with pain, for he was sr. iy
stung: and then, before I could make up my
mind what to do, the great black mr.ncd
brute, evidently ignorant of tho cause of his
pain, sprang right at the throat of his c"’.i
panion, to whom he evidently attributed his
. misfortune. It was a curious sight to sec- the
evident astonishment of the other lion at this
most unprovoked assault. Over lie rolled
with an angry roar, and on to him spring
the black maned demon, and common--ed
to worry him. This finally rw :!:e
the yellow maned lion to a s--n.se
of the situation, and I am bo ;, a
to se.}' that he roso to the occasion i.i a
mo.‘effective mann-r. Somehow or ox r

t... . ( : ued a cn • that absolutely L?.. !.-s
C. 1. Y kn z what a :;lix: .•'g

abandonment. Well, a whdle hundred ot
dog 3 could not have looked half so terrible
as those two great brutes as they rolled and
roared and rent in thair rage, It was an
awful and n wonderful thing to see the great
cats tearing at each other with all the fiero
energy of their savage strength, and making
the night hideous with their heartshaking
noise. And the fight was a grand one, too.
For some minutes it was impossible to say
which was getting the best of it, but at last I
saw that the black maned lion, though he
was slightly the bigger, was failing. I am
inclined to think that the wound iu his Hank
crippled him.* Anyway, he began to get the
worst of it, which served him right, as ho
was the aggressor 8til) I could not help
feeling sorry for him, for he had fotfght e
gallant fight, when his antagonist finally gut
him by the throat, and, struggle and strike
out as he would, began to shake the life out
of him. Over and over they rolled together,
an awe inspiring spectacle, but the yellow
boy would not loose his hold, and at length
poor black mane grew faint, his breath came
in great Snores and seemed to rattle in his
nostrils, then he opened his hinge mouth,
gave the ghost of a roar, quivered and
dead.
“When he was quite sure that the victory
was his own, the yellow maned lion loosed
his grip and sniffed at his fallen foe. Then
he licked the dead lion’s eye, and next, with
his fore feet resting on the carcass, sent up
his 0 wii chant of victory, that went {•oiling
and pealing down the dark ways Os the night
in all the gathered majesty of sound. And
at this point 1 interfered. Taking a careful
sight at the center of his body, in order to
give the largest possible margin for error, I
fired, and sent a .570 express bullet right
through him, and down he dropped dead
upon his mighty foe.
“At that, fairly satisfied with our perform
ances; wo slept peaceably till dawn, leaving
Pharaoh to k&p in case any more
lions should hike it into their heads id come
our way.
' “When the sun was fairly up we arose, and
very cautiously proceeded—at least Pharaoh
and I did, for I would not allow Harry to
come—-to sec if we could see anything of the
wounded lioness. She had ceased roaring
immediately b»i arrival of the two lions,
and had not made a svund since,' which
we concluded that she was probably dear’.
I was armed with my express, and Pharaoh,
in whose hands a rifle was indeed a danger
ous weapon—to his companions - had an ax.
On our way we stopped to look at the two
dead lions. They were magnificent animals,
; both of them, but their pelts were entirely
spoiled by the terrible mauling they had
given to each other, which was a sad pity.
I “In another minute v.-e were following the
1 blood spoor of the wounded lioness int o the
bush; where she bad taken refuge. This, [
need hardly say. we did with th#* utmost
caution; indeed, I for one, did nut at all lik
the job, and was only consoled by the ?»>'
I flection that it was necessary, and that the
bush was not thick. Well, we stood there,
keeping as far from the trees as possible,
and poking and peering about, but no lioness
could we see.
“ ‘She must have gone away somewhere to
die, Pharaoh,' I said iu Zulu.
“‘Yes, Inkoos’ (chief), he answered, ‘she
has certainly gone away.’
“Hardly Were tho words out of his month
when I heard a most awful roar, and look
ing round saw the lioness emerge from the
very center of a bush just behind Pharaoh,
in which she had been curled up. Up she
went on her hind legs, and as she did so I
' saw that one of her fore paws was broken.
, Up she went, towering right over Pharaoh’s
! head, as she did so lifting her uninjured
i paw to strike him down. And lb.cn, before
I could get my rifle round to do anything
to avert the coming catastrophe, tin' Zulu
did a very brave and clever thing. Realiz
ing his own imminent flanger, he bounded
to one side, nnd then, swinging the hoaVy
ax round his head, brought it rigid down on
her back, severing the vertebra' and killing
her instantaneously. It was wonderful to
see her collapse all in a heap like an empty
sack.
“ ‘My word, Pharaoh,’ I said, ‘that was
well done, and none too soon.'
“ ‘Yes,’ he answered, ‘it was a good stroke,
Inkoos. Jim-Jim will sleep better now.’
“Then, calling Harry to us, we examined
the lioness She was old, if one might judge
from her worn tooth, and not very large, but
thickly made, and must have possessed ex
traordinary vitality to have lived so long,
shot as she was; for, in addition to her broken
shoulder, my express bullet had blown a great
hole in her that one might Lave put one’s fist
“Well, that is the story of the death of
poor Jim-Jim and how we avenged it. and it
is rather interesting in its way, because of
the fight between the two lions, of which I
never saw the like in nil my exjx:rieiico, and
I know something of lions and their ways.”
“And bow did you get back to Pilgrims’
Rest?” I asked Hunter Quatermain when ho
had finished his yarn.
“Ah, v. e had a nice job with that,” he an
swered. “The second ox died and so did an
i other, and we had to got on ns best we could
; with the three remaining ones harnessed uni
corn fashion, while we pushed behind. V. o
did about four miles a day, and it took v.s
nearly a month, during the last week of
which wo pretty well starved.’’
“1 notic?,’’ I st*id f “that most of your trips
ended in disaster of sumo sorter another,
and yet you went on making them, which
strikes one as a little queer.”
“Yes, I dare say; but, then, remember I
got my living for many years out of hmir
ing. B sides, half the charm of the thing
I lay in the dangers and disasters, though they
were terrible enough at the time. Anodic r
thing is, they were not nt all disastrous.
Some time, if you like. I will tell you :i story
of one which was very much tho reverse, for
I made £4,000 out of it, and saw ono of th*
most extraordinary sights a hunter ever
clapped his eyes on; but it’s too late now,
and., besides, I'm tired of talking about my
self. Good night.”
