Sheriff Boyd decoyed him into town, skilfully avoiding any rousing of his tigerish disposition, and is now making a blacksmith of him or was until yesterday, when he paroled him to Miss Virginia Royall, the ward of the Reverend Thorndyke. "This is a very questionable policy. If followed up it will result in a saturnalia of crime in this community.
The most interesting experiences one hears of tigers and other wild animals are, as may be supposed, not from sportsmen engaged on shooting expeditions, and who have killed much game, but from pioneer planters and others whose business lies in tigerish localities, and that is why Mr. Sanderson's book is so particularly interesting.
But she had taken his death with a calmness that was close to indifference. There was something strange and inexplicable in her tigerish championship of Turner and it remains inexplicable even now. I have wondered since was she in love with Turner, or was she only a fiery partisan? I wonder!
It is owing obviously to their great power of concealment that tigers are so very rarely ever seen by accident, and Mr. Sanderson says that during some years of wandering in tigerish localities he has only come upon them accidentally about half a dozen times, and my own experience, and that of other sportsmen to whom I have spoken, quite confirms this.

What was he doing now, she asked herself, and trembled. He had gone without word or message of any sort. Her last glimpse of him had been in that violet glare of lightning, inexpressibly terrible, with tigerish eyes that threatened her and snarling lips drawn back. Thus thus had she seen him many a time since in the long night-watches when she had lain sleepless and restless, waiting for the dawn.
The grin, however, had left his face, and he recoiled a step with such a tigerish expression on his ugly countenance that his assailant ought to have been warned of his danger. Motoza, the Sioux, was ready to commit murder for the sake of retaining that which did not belong to him. "Stop!" commanded Fred Greenwood, whom both seemed to have forgotten in the flurry of the moment.
A cold, fine rain had been falling since the evening before; the streets were covered with pools of water. Carriages with blinds down were strung out hither and thither, crowding between hedges of hideous men and women standing on the sidewalks. That sinister wall of spectators had tigerish eyes, red with wine, gleaming with hatred.
