India has produced some of the finest big-game hunters in the world. -First they kill deer, then tigers, and after that they climb into the hills after the mountain sheep, which are the most difficult of their kind to Follow and kill, lint there is one ambition beyond the mountain sheep. That is the snow leopard. This beautiful -creature* white as the snow it lives among, is rarely found below a height of ll.OOOft, and is even there extremely rare. It is both wild and savage* and tlie natives have a superstitious fear of its white coat and deep green eyes. Tlie man who succeeds in killing a snow leopard steps I into the very first rank of big-game hunters. — Tlie Argonaut.
