Well, that's what happened ‘ to pretty, vivacioiis, little Miss Kath- erine MacGregor when she bagged her first tiger in the wilds of South America, “And mind you, proved to be that old tiger tigress,"’ exclaimed Miss MacGrogor in her apartment at No. 106 Morningside Drive, where she is once more upon terra firma and does not have to look about anxiously for wildcats, tigresses and Indians. “Did the female of the species of South American boarding house or Place to camp for hunters.

Now we might just as well announce right here that Miss MacGregor is not New York girl. She hails froin upaca, Wis., and left a highly orized father back at home. Hi when one has a strictly modern daugh- ter who wants to kill tigers and have some “real adventures’? there isn’t anything else to do but just let her go and that's what Katherine Mac or’s dad finally decided to do. “It cost a heap of money to take my Gre this trip,” pouted pretty little Miss Mactsregor, "because, you see, I wen independently. But I simply had to go to get material for my books and short stories. If I can sell enough of these right away I'm going to pike right back there and kill some moré tigers, study the vegetation, climate people and everything.

Well, she just did,” re- sponded Miss MacGregor. “I was @loating over my splendid big prize, whieh I had gone out to bag that very morning, when this second beast, 2 wild-oyed tigress, wife of my tiger and mother of two pretty cubs, ap- eared upon the scene.” A Witte shiver ran through Miss MacGregor, just thinking about it again. “I didn't very well blame her for being angry,” admitted the curly headed, sparkling-eyed huntress; ‘the odds were certainly against me, for I had @hot her husband and now It was time for us to fight It out be- tween oursely: “well?” “We didn't waste much time trying to explain things," confessed Miss MacGregor, “I don't know just how many shots I fired at my first tiger, byt I know I pointed my sun at her and fired every last shot for all I was worth. My knees were trembling but my hand was steady and I won. My tigress died instantaneously within twenty feet from her husband.

The gulde knew how to manage the squadrons of crocodiles yearning to ups the dugout canoe and was well informed about the best tambos or camps kept by the Peruvians and sometimes Chinese.” In this wild country over tratie never before traversed by a white woman Miss MacGregor went from Lima, Peru, seven days by mule- back into the Andes Mountains with her English guide and two muleteers and five pack animals.
