In the hope of improving his fortunes he plunges into the jngles of India. • Here his rare marksmanship wins him the admiration of the natives. One day Ross fires at an antelope and the beast, after one spasmodic leap, drops dead. This is considered a great feat among the natives. A closeby Indian village is much harassed by man-eating tigers and the chief, after vainly trying to persuade Ross to remain, orders his arrest. Ross hears of his treachery and flees. He is ambush ed, and takes refuge in a tree. The natives, having no guns and the lieutenant no ammunition, the natives find it an easy task* to cut down the tree and carry their quarry in safety to the camp. Sentenced to be burned alive, the fagots are piled high in the center of the /Village. After the fagots are lighted the chief is taken with a violent coughing spell.
