Tam yery thankful to say that this adventure 1d not fall to the lot of yours, truly, for{ should have a sorry time of it getting On without my left arm. About nine-tenths of all the fatal “acct dents” that occur in bunting dangerous game are qurectly traceable to bad Judgment on the part of The hunter and the tendency of rash men to “bite off more than they can chew.” A man 1s a fool to fire at a tiger or a grizzly unless be Is sure thay he knows where to aim, certain that he can bit where hedolds, A man wn is a bad shot, or whocarriesa, (un he cannot depend upon, or has “nerves,” had Dest not monkey around dangerous game, except ‘when he has a position of advantage. Even a bad shot is safe if he is careful not to attack when the chaaces are against him. Sometimes, too, it 1s wise for even a good shot to let thejgame go by. I know one able hunter who, after hunting bear steadily for several weeks, nad the good sense to let a gang Of eleven griziies go by him without even firing a shot. He was a good shot and he had a Sharp's 40-120, but he knew enough to let that Procession of claws and teeth go by.

We know that Aphrodite’s hand had “rosy, slender flogers,” and that the hand of one of Cleo- patra’s Women threw Antony into raptures, but not long enough, however, to break the spell thrown around him by the “glorious sorceress of the Nile.” The hands of the Egyptian women were celebrated for their contour, and the old necro- maacers of Ramesan days used to hold them in awe for their delicate lines. Old history says that the hand of Anne of Aus. tria was as “white ag snow,” while the world knows that good Queen Bess'was uot very proud Of the shape of her royal Mugera.
