The picture the pair presented as they came aboard--Elaine amazingly tattered, a supple, tanned, incredibly sweet and womanly little figure--Grenville, a bearded, active master of the wild, clad in the skin of a cheeta for a coat, and bearing a richly colored tiger-skin, rolled up to contain a hundredweight of treasure--was one that Sir Myles was destined never to forget.

Besides the bow, the hounds and the noose, they hunted with lions, which were trained expressly for the chase, like the _cheeta_, or hunting leopard of India, being brought up from cubs in a tame state; and many Egyptian monarchs were accompanied in battle by a favorite lion.

The cheeta attains a length of 3 to 4 ft.; it is of a pale fulvous colour, marked with numerous spots of black on the upper surface and sides, and is nearly white beneath.

The cheeta is found throughout Africa and southern Asia, and has been employed for centuries in India and Persia in hunting antelopes and other game.
