The olTection of a dog for its mas- ter could hardly be excelled by the devotion of an Indian bullock, named Alotcc, to I'andu, its owner. Motee was an ordinary Indian bullock, says the author of "Sport and Adventure in the Indian Jungle," about four feet high and of the whitish brown color common among the stunted cat- tle in native villages. He was thoroughly trained to hunting by I'undu, and seemctl to comprehend his master's wishes in- tuitively. A glance, and Mote* would move forward or backwar»l, as require<l. .\ motion of the linger, ano he would lie down, or kick up hi? heels and rush about as if mad. Paiidu did all his stalking with tho aid of hi.s bullock, and much of his success «leponded on its intelligence. An old piece of sacking, paintet? with green daubs on*'bnc side to re- semble shrubbery, on the other side with bars of vivid rod, was thrown over illotee's back like a horse-cloth and hanging down to (he ground, elTc<'tually concealed tho crouching hunter. l>itl he wish to stalk antelope, then tho red bars were expo.sed, and Motee would graze quietly in a direction oblique to, yet approaching the h(,rd. The bright bars would at- tract the curiosity of the deer, and they would approach so near as to allow of an unfailing shot from Pan- da's place of concealment under the stomach of the bullock. Was it a (lock of pea-fowl that was in sight, then the green side of tho sacking would be turned towards the birds, and the same stealthy advance made, tho pea-fowl exhibiting no alarm, as the village cattle common- ly range tho forests in their ncigh- tiorhood Motee evidently took a delight in hunting, as he was on the alert and frisked obout immctliately the old man shouldered his gun. When tho game was killetl â€" an<l Pandu seldom mi.s.sedâ€" tho little bullock would coin* up for his caress.
