Clayton
heard
the
great
body
paralleling
his
course
,
and
now
there
rose
upon
the
evening
air
the
beast
's
thunderous
roar
.
The
man
stopped
with
upraised
spear
and
faced
the
brush
from
which
issued
the
awful
sound
.
The
shadows
were
deepening
,
darkness
was
settling
in
.
God
!
To
die
here
alone
,
beneath
the
fangs
of
wild
beasts
;
to
be
torn
and
rended
;
to
feel
the
hot
breath
of
the
brute
on
his
face
as
the
great
paw
crushed
down
upon
his
breast
!
For
a
moment
all
was
still
.
Clayton
stood
rigid
,
with
raised
spear
.
Presently
a
faint
rustling
of
the
bush
apprised
him
of
the
stealthy
creeping
of
the
thing
behind
.
It
was
gathering
for
the
spring
.
At
last
he
saw
it
,
not
twenty
feet
away
--
the
long
,
lithe
,
muscular
body
and
tawny
head
of
a
huge
black-maned
lion
.
The
beast
was
upon
its
belly
,
moving
forward
very
slowly
.
As
its
eyes
met
Clayton
's
it
stopped
,
and
deliberately
,
cautiously
gathered
its
hind
quarters
behind
it
.
In
agony
the
man
watched
,
fearful
to
launch
his
spear
,
powerless
to
fly
.
He
heard
a
noise
in
the
tree
above
him
.
Some
new
danger
,
he
thought
,
but
he
dared
not
take
his
eyes
from
the
yellow
green
orbs
before
him
.
There
was
a
sharp
twang
as
of
a
broken
banjo-string
,
and
at
the
same
instant
an
arrow
appeared
in
the
yellow
hide
of
the
crouching
lion
.
With
a
roar
of
pain
and
anger
the
beast
sprang
;
but
,
somehow
,
Clayton
stumbled
to
one
side
,
and
as
he
turned
again
to
face
the
infuriated
king
of
beasts
,
he
was
appalled
at
the
sight
which
confronted
him
.
Almost
simultaneously
with
the
lion
's
turning
to
renew
the
attack
a
half-naked
giant
dropped
from
the
tree
above
squarely
on
the
brute
's
back
.
With
lightning
speed
an
arm
that
was
banded
layers
of
iron
muscle
encircled
the
huge
neck
,
and
the
great
beast
was
raised
from
behind
,
roaring
and
pawing
the
air
--
raised
as
easily
as
Clayton
would
have
lifted
a
pet
dog
.
The
scene
he
witnessed
there
in
the
twilight
depths
of
the
African
jungle
was
burned
forever
into
the
Englishman
's
brain
.
