"The picture of man a4ttlrj(r oo a burro in mid-stream, ia the heart of the southern Sierras, mllna from any where, has nothing- remarkable in it," said the naturalist; "but when you con sider tlio burro as asleep, and the rider holding a fishing lino with one hand and a well-thumbed copy of QMIpus with the other, which ho is reading through clouds of smoke from a well filled pipe, the soc tie takes on another phase. "Such a man I met one day in the great river of verdure known as the Arroyo 8000, that winds away from Los Angeles up through the San Gabriel valley, entering the Sierras at Pasadena and for mires passing through a region of varied delights. " 'Senor ,' I began. M "Sebastian,' he replied, without looking up. "'Seucr Sebastian,' I continued, 'I regret, In the&e solitudes, to be oblig-xl to inform you that yon are infringing a patent right of mine.' " 'How so?' retorted Senor Sebastian, glancing up from the book, which he now dropped into the pocket of his cor duroy 00 at. " 'Ia this: I was the originator of fishing on horseback.' " -AhJ said the senor, 'you may be tho inventor, but I am the improver, see And for the first time I noticed that the Hoe was fastened to a hole in the tip of the burro's, ear. 'If you have ever observed.' said the fisherman, 'the habits of the burro, or we will say bis head, you will have noticed that the ears are always moving back and forth. It's just the motion I want m fishing, so I adopted It, and see' "As ho spoke the line stiffened out, t4 burro's ear, or, to be exact, his right ear, bent forward suddenly, and the burro himself awoke with a start " 'Watch him,' said the fisherman. Tlio burro's eye had first settled on me in an inquiring way, then realizing that something was tugging at his ear, be drew the member tip to tho horl routoJ, at which the trout, for such it was, left tho water with a bound, and in its return drew the ear down again. The burro now tuemed to ooncentrate all hU energies in the oontoct, aud thu t.r gravitated between the upright and the horizonUiL "Yqu aee,' remarked Senor Seboliau again, 'tho burro plays the fish, and I,' suiting the action to the word, 'pull him In. And, with the air of the philosopher ho wan, the Npeaker unhooked tho tfout, dropped it into a pocki't of his coat, and having impaled a fretihvrorm and cost the line, t'te fisherman felt for his (Bdlpua, and tho burro foil asloep. " 'I deem It,' continued tb senor, after rolighting his pipe, the privilege, if not the duty, of man to tako life at tho normal angle, or as near it as poi sibie in other words, take solid com fort I have seen the hard side of it right in sight of these mountains. 1 came here forty years ago, when tho whole country was a sheep ranch. I walked across the Mojave desert In An gust, and I see now they find men dead who have tried it Yes, I was after gold and td venture, aud got both. " 'It came about In this way,' and the senor, gvttiug no further bites, rolled up his line and Joined roe on tho trail up the arroyo. . 'I was living in Santa Ke io the fifties, trading mostly, and one night a man rushed into the saloon where I was and said a man was dying and wanted to see a priest I was a Catholic and the next best thing, &o I went along. You know where the old palaoe is to-day in ganto Fef Well, ho took me down a street back of that, and In an old ndoNs I found a man, a half broed, with death In his face. lie had been stabbed in a brawl an hour before, and was so near gone that I didn't have the heart to tell blm I was not a priest. lie sent the others out of the room, then bade me lock the door, and with his mouth to my car told me to remember what ho tulc He hod been a bad man, had killed sev eral men, and wonted to do something to expiate his crime, so told his socrot to tho church. He told mo to pull oil his bolt, which I did, and in it was a row of some of the biggmt chunks of gold I ever sa- la this coun try. In another part was an old plea e of shoupskiu, and on it a mop, rude, but good enough, of these very moun tains. He said that he and two others had discovered a valuable placer in tho mouth of a canyon where you could pic! up pUco like thoeo, and confessed that lie hod killed his partner to gut control of It alb Tho murder vma done on the dosert at Coyoto 'lprlng- and after ho had covered the bodies io tho band ho tWtoi buult to the plucer. He, got there at night Sold ho: '1 don't know how it happened, bnt tho nest I know I found myself in a herd er's cabin, and ho said he found me erMX-PJl ibedj;sprt.fc I p.$.better and I never went brtck to the place, but i want to leave the gold to the church. I took the map, theu wrote down the directions, aud to prove hi story he told me where he had burled the menu ard made ma promts to erwt a cross ovr them. "'Well,' continued the senor, after n short prtuao, 'the man died, and a few days Inter I Blurted for the Sierras across the deserk 1 found the place where the bodies were, as It was near witter. I didn't waste much time there. but pushed on, and in three days, as near as I could reckon, was somewhere near tho spot. Tho map called for sev eral mountains to be in a lino, then the mouth of a canyon, marked by a big sycamore; and there were other direc tions. My friend, to make a long story short, I'm hunting that placer yet, and if there is one, from Mojave to Warner's ranch, that I don't know I'd like to see it That was forty years ago, and I've made up my mind that the man was mad That he had killed tho men there could be little doubt, but the placer must have been in his imagination. Hut hero is my shanty. I'll show you tho map. "The shanty was a rough board af fair set back against the mountain, and so partook of its general color that it might have been paused unuotiocd by the stroller up the arroyo hod it not been for the score or mora of white beehives scottered over the space. In front of it, from which rose an ominous humming. The shanty contained but two rooms, ono a kitchen, tho other a library. The sleeping room was out of doors when it did not rnlu. The books were few, but to the point, their selec tion telling of a man of taste; and con spicuously hung on the wall, In au old lookingglarft frame, was the gold seek er's map. " 'You can have half tike output if you can find tho pluoer,' said the own er of the map. "Tho map wos on a piece of sheep skin, carefully drawn in what had been red ink, and bore the appearance of having been made in good faith. '"Xo, I don't got lonely here,' said the old man in reply to my question! 'there is plenty of company of a de cided variety. I generally sleep out yonder in a hammock swung between two trees. 1 like plenty of air. and one night I awoke, as one will some times, feeling that some one is around. I kept perfectly still, and soon heard a step as soft as a cat could make, then another, nod then two fiery eyes looked Into inlno. My rlflo was in the houso, so I waited. The animal soon turned and walked off, and a fow moments later I heard, a rushj then 4 scream In tho corral. I ran for my rifle, and got back In time to hear something leap into the bush. I found my burro badly wounded, his side cut and torn, but 1 believe to this day that ho kicked the mountain lion over the fonoof ho was equal to it We trailed the lion the next day, but lost it up the canyon. " 'Boars frequently come down and try conclusions with the becs. One night, hearing a loud noltjo, I went out, rifle in hand, and there 6tood a big grizzly not ten feet away, in tlio moon light, looking twice as big as ho wa& Ho hr;d a beehive under ono arm, and was brushing bees cfi with tho other. The moment ho saw me ho began to growl, aud I wasted no time, but let him hove It Just whero X thought tlio heart was. lie dropped ou all fours and mado oif, nud 1 fired suverul timed. And to bliow tho U'tiacity of bear life under difficulties, we found the animal the nest day ilvo hundred yarda away up the side of the canyon dead, with a ball through his heart I have known them to go even fnrUicr with the heart Mown to pieces.' "Senor Sebastian was a type o' men who live ia Uie nooks und corners of the great rau-e. There are bevernl liv ing the lives of hermits, &oiuo of higli education, who have filled places of honor in the world at times. All have a Rtory. Something occurred In thoir lives to drive them away from their iol low men. "The abodes of these hermit ara bo ooraing known to the public, and mod ern science r.nd engineering will soon throw open all the nooks and corners of the great range." N. Y. Sun.

"Hark! 1 heard a feather drop," uiid the dog. "Oh, no," aid tho cut; "it was a needle. I saw it." Whatever may bo true of domesticated horM-s, the wild horse of the South American pampas possesses a most acute and far-reaching Bcnte of smell.
