THE HUNTING- LEOPARD. 205 



* As soon as the deer is pulled down, a keeper runs 

 up, hoods the chetah, cuts the victim's throat, and 

 securing* some of the blood in a wooden ladle, thrusts 

 it under the leopard's nose. The antelope is then 

 dragged away, and placed in a receptacle under the 

 hachery, while the chetah is rewarded with a leg for 

 his pains."
