When I wan Rtfttloned up tn the hill j counlry ROUie twenty years ago I used I to in- jHissiijimtdy fimil of hunting. I hadn't Iwun uut from England long, and thu novelty of following big game had ' not yet lo»t ilu clmnns. My dutloa did, not ocuupy il gn«t qnnl of my lime und 1 j could often bo absent a wivk or len | days moro witliout serious inconvunloneo , tn anyone. With » couple of unlives and my old "Henry," I then set forth on Mom*- j elm, my elephant. Mowclia wus un ox- eeptlonally fine spcolmon of his race, endowed with all lis virtues nnd but few of ils fiuilis. Ho wus strong, patient, Riiga- i-imis. und devoted to his muster. He hud never neon used us u working elephant, Imt only fnr lhe puipuses of the chase. Vim should have Been his unwloldly hulk making its way nuUoloSKiy through tlio ililek jungle grasp, his great foot lifted antl put down with i he utmost caution, his flexlhlo trunk darting iu ull directions to scent the gume, uml his small eyes gleaming wit' excitement. Hoseomod to know Instinctively the moment to lire, and then ho would not move a muscle. Vmi know ii requires no small amount of norve lo stand porfectly still with a Boh- gal devil iu uslripetl skin charging at one and too often it happens that your well dim-ted shot is spoiled hy your eh-pham's speedy retreat. Thi' natives doomed Mowclia superhuman ou account of his Intelligence ami 4troug(h, and his mahout always calhd Mm "My Lord the Klephant," and treated lm witli thu greatest respect. You know I icliindno belief, thai lhe souls of one's an- iTstors havo to reMdo for a period after oath in the bodies of animals lill they eve atoned for their shnrtcomlmrs on earth; , lest and they might unwlt- ilngly treat some of their grand* fathers or greatgrandfathers with disrespect, which would he a criminal violation of their religion, it is Iheir mistoni lo give to each of llieir inmate*; of t'lejuiifflea parllcular title as for in- -lance, His Highness tho Tiger Our King ihe Moil,' etc. So Mowclia wus more of ton ;uldrossod as My Ijord thu Klephant, than liy his reiil name. He was a great pet In the regiment, and for the children tit thu station there was II better pp* r than to climb Into the howdah shrieking with hiugli- er, and have a ride on Mow- lia. He seemed to enjoy it as uuoll ns they did, and carried his luird- ■ii with the greatest dignity. He was really hanndsome, as elephants go, ami inked his hest when adorned wilh his earlot trappings and harness, and hearing lie liowdull filled witli merry children; md it wasu pretty right lo see them after- vard bestowing upon him his reward in the shape of) iiieapples.lmnanasand man- :ucs, ull of which he loved tu stow away :i his capacious stomach. I tell you these details that you may iimlei'f-tand my grief when he suddenly isappeiin'd OUO night in early spring, ■iy Lord the Klephant had boen restless for several days, his mahout informed ue ufioi'wurd- and that evening bo had managed tu break his chain and had vanished In the darkness . Whether he had been s] I riled away by a clover thief or Ind derided that he had worked for man ! ng enough and would now return to his uiive woods and the society of his kind, .e never knew, of course, but we missed him mot*! than one would think, nnd for line lliuo tlie cry among the ohildrt u was "If Mowclia were only hero I" I tried a number of olher elephants for my Inn.ting, but could not till liis place; iml, as my duties increased aliiut that line, my gun rarely left ils case, and my mrtridge belt hung, unused on the wall. About three or four years la er I was invited to spend the Christinas holidays ;ith an Knglisli friend who was giving a ouso party at his place further up the ills, 1 easily obtained leave and start- d with but one servant, llumnn. He had ■ irinerly been Moweiia's mahout, but iflor tint brute's uncanny disappearance ic had attached himself to me, ami rived to Ihi a very bandy follow. Wo .vere mounted on hardy little pm L-s, and the lirst day made about fifty miles, spending the night al the hut of one of lhe far- "•t rangers who hud statiouod hy the gov- '.■anient as a guard along the edges of large aud important forests. The next lay we plunged into the forest itself. Toward midday we wore startled by hearing a fearful, thunderous roaring, as of •oiuo monster In Its death agony, At thnt Utniice 1 did not recognize it us the . nice of any wild animal I was acquaint- d with, and turned to Ramon for an ■xplanation. His dark skin was bleached .0 ashen gray, "It's a herd of elephants!" he exclalm- •d, "and they ant sounding their battle ■ry. If tlioy come this way, it moans cer- liln death. We cr.n'iot escape them." It certainly seemed ns though they wero nailed in mir direction, for the noise (row louder, and we could feel thu round trembling beneath us at the trnmp- ng of many feet. "Follow me, sahib!" cried Ramon, ah io threw himself from his horse and has- •ncd to one tif the larger trees, whieh he egan to ascend with ihe utmost rapidity. did the same, my progress being himl- "cd, however, by my heavy riding boots, ,o had no time to secure our ponies, antl ie frightened animals, us soon as they .•ere released, sprang nimbly through the liieketsand disappeared; and with them, I' course, vanished our only menus nf es- ipo from the forest, even though the elephants should pass us hy unharmed. We reached our position of safety none too soon. 1 could see the heavy forest branches shaking violently, and soon a huge gray muss broke through shambling along at a remarkable nite of speed, not twenty yards from us, and screaming with vicious rage. "It's a rogue elephant, sahib," said I ltuuion. "They are chasing him from ■ the herd." . Such Indeed seemed to Iw the rase, for i a hundred yards behind him came another i enormous figure, whieh was headed | straight for our place of refuge. As hy lightning Hash I saw the horrible death I that meanced us. I already felt myself ! falling to the ground, In a second more j to be trampled to death under those lm- I mouse feet. Hut at that lustatlt 1 beard ' Ramon call out boldly; "Lot-mb gaj," j (Ilo down). Tho great beast paused, j "Let-mli, let-mli!" again he cried; and ! to my astonishment, the creature obedl- : ently went down upon his knees. ; Hnnion quickly descended, calling mo to follow. Where a black leads a white man docs not lag behind, ami d wn I wont, I did not understand how the magical transformation had heen effected, bin as I turned and caught sight of the Animal, I comprehended It all; around tho great foreleg was a chain, the end of whieh still lrailed o|i the ground, Thu quick eyes of tho native had sum it; hu I knew that l||p animal must have been in | captivity al sooie Ume, and called out tho [ won! of jymimuml hoping lhat It would | he oliojed. Ro was not disappointed for; I although tlie small eyes sl}D gleamed with nn ugly red tight, j)ft|j (i])p trunk waved mmii.oiiM,. in L.eair. the great creature had not forgotten his former training. He approach)*! him cautiously at first, but presently Uituiou rushed fearlessly up to the bruieand petted him effusively,tailing him by every name of endearment. "Ah, 'tlsthou.My Lord ihe Klephani! 'Til thou, leader of the herd, wiser than tho wise man of the temple, beautiful as a lotus bud, strong ils the winds of heaven ! Oh great bird Mowclia! Thy slave salutes thee!" Truly enough It was our old Mowcha who, in spile of lapse of time and change of place, had not forgotten his old masters and the familiar word of command. All this had happened within a fow inomeiils. Tho groat herd was still crashing through lho forest ull around us,trumpeting wiili rage and shaking Ihe ground In llieir fury. Should one of them chance to come near enough to seo us our lives would not be worth a farthing. Mowcha seemed to understand the situation perfectly, for, his anger all gone, ho seized Hamon gently with his strong trunk and set him upon his back, when' the mahout usually rides; lie grasped me wilh the same ease ami placed me beside him. Then huroso and started off at a good pace in tho direction opposlto to that taken by the rest of his fellows and soon their screams and lliundcrings had died away tn lhe distance, We wondered where My Lord the Klephant Intended to convey us, whether to liis oul ive jungles or in the post again. Ramon Ir! nl to guide him, but found It Impossible without lho help of lhe usual ankus, or goad, so wo confined our efforts lo keeping our balance ami staying on his hack, a somewhat dillicull task without the alii of harness or howdah. Rrlcfly told, his strong, steady pare never failed for over ten hours until we entered the post again. Our approach had boon descried from afar, and every living soul hail turned out to view the spectacle. When it wus perceived that \t was Mowcha, dear old Moweha, who was bringing us back in safety, a hearty cheer broke from all throats, a cheer for My Lord the Klephant. The children clapped their hands and shrieked with joy, and even the soldiers shared the general enthusiasm. We gave My Lnr th ■ Klephant n feast vueh as never otephmit had hud before, but ho did not seem to enjoy the dainties I spread before him so much as the moment when the howdah was placed on his back and he was led forth, surrounded by the children, whom he once mon1 bore solemnly around lho ] ost, Kor two days ho 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 thu cruel chain was stricken off his huge foot, and My Lord the Klephant with roses and branches wreathed around his great i eck aud hanging from his stubby tusks, was led forth in triumphal procession nnd given his liberty, It was the best present we could give him; he accepted it gratefully, and soon the. ug1, gray mass had disap|jivired. It is as the embodiment of strength, love nnd gratitude that I remember him; and because he saved me fnnn a fearful death that I drink to My Lord the Elephant.— Our Animal Krionds.
