I was seated in tho veranda of my bungalow at , one sultry afternoon during tho month of June, cu joying tho luxury of doing nothing ex cept watching the curling wreaths of smoke from my cheroot as they rose In tho clear air, when my old shlkarco, Jungly Baba, camo hurrying up. "News, sahib! I bring news," ho said. "The man-eater has just been seen In a field of sugai-cane, a little way beyond the cantonments; If wo make haste we shall catch him of a ccitaln ty." In a moment I was on my feet, and telling Bab i to order my syce to bring around my pony I hurriedly donned my sport.ng apparel. Taking two of my most trusty riiles, I was ready to mount by the time my groom appeared with my hardy little steed. 1 carrying one of my rifles and Baba the other, wo set out. Wu had not gone far when we met a natlvo woman her hair dishev elled, her countenance expressive of grief. "Ah, sahib, the monster has carried otf my little son Mattadeen, and killed him!" she exclaimed, addressing me. "Xo one could save my boy, but you may avenge him," "I'll do my best to kill tho brute," I answered, as the bereaved mother went on her way. Baba told mo that her little son was a herd-boy, and that it was most probable tho tiger had got hold of hl:n. AVe found that tho man-eater had deserted tho sugar-cano fields where he had been seen, and had gone off toward the open country. Still, the was a possibility of coming up with him, and we pushed on. After going a mile or so wc came upon blood stains on the grass, and as wo followed them up, wc found all that re mained of tlio poor herd-boy. The cruel spectaclo made mo vow that I would not rest till I had killed tho man eater. Though we searched far and wide, we could not discover tho brute, and as night was approaching we had to return to the cantonments. I had made arrangements for renewing the chase the followinc morning, when.jutt as I was starting, I was compelled to abandon my Intention by a summons to Europe. On my return the following year,hav ing again engaged Jungly Baba as my shikaree, I asked him If the man-eater had been killed. "No, sahib," he answered; "but he has killed several people among them, my friend sepoy Itam Singh, a noted hunter. So numerous were the murders committed by the man-eater, that the Maharajah sent to say that he would give ft reward if we could kill tho tiger. Accordingly Itam Singh aud I set off, and traced him for two days. At length, one sultry afternoon, saying he did not believe I wished to discover the tiger while he was with me, that I might havo all the reward myself ' which sahib, on my honor, was not the r Jacobs oil ERMANREMEDlf case wc separated; be went to the right and I to the left, I had never been so long before looking for a tiger, and I began to think that he was a bhoot (a spirit), and that I should never find him. "After somo time however, I heard a shot. "Then Itam Singh has found the tiger at last,' I thought; and I directed my steps toward the spot whe;ice the sound came. I made my way along the bed of a nullah (a vt ater-coursc, per fectly hot during the hot season). After going same distance, I saw before mo on the ground a matchlock. It was Ham Singh's, and all around wcic clots of blood, and torn clothes, while the sand was trodden down, giving evidence of a struggle having taken place there. Then I know that Ham Singh had wounded the tiger, and that the tiger had killed him. As It was now getting dark, I had to return homo, but next day, taking up the tracks, after pro ceeding on cautiously for fear the tiger should spring" out on me I came to the spot to which the brute had dragged his victim. There lay part of Bam Singh's body the rest having been devoured during tho night. If that tiger is ever killed, wo shall dis cover the bullet which Ham Singh fired; for I'm sure ho hit tho brute, which would not otherwise have attacked him." Thus, finding tho man-cater was still at large, the first morning that wo were at liberty my friend Jacbean and I re solved to beat up his quarters. We knew tho ground well, as we had hunt ed over It before. The elephants were ordeted round at an early hour, and having taken our scats in the houdahs, wc started, and soon came upon a 'kill,' which I may explain means the remains of cow, buffalo, or any other animal portlally eaten. Wc took opposite sides of the nullah, that wc might bo more likely to fall in with the chase. After going some way I saw Macbcan stop, and my eye followed the direction in which he was levelling his rlfle,l per ceived the tiger lying asleep on a rock closo to a small pool of water. I was too far off to lilt tho brute. Mncbean tired : tha bullet struck him in tho belly, when, springing up, ho made off as fast as he could more. There la real ex citement in chasing n man-eater, the foe of the human race. In spite of the rocks and shrubs and other impedi ments, our mahouts pushed on our ele phants. Tho chase was u long one. Macbcan had crossed to my side of tho nullah. At length, In a suppressed tone, he cried out: "There he is,thcre," and tlio crack of his rifle resounded among tho rocks. Again he fired, and this time the bullet struck the animal's, foreleg, and wounded him. I also had two shots but only one of them took ef fect. Again tho tiger went eff limping, and we tracked him by tlio large clots of blood left on tho ground. "Where can he be?" exclaimed Mac bean, as, searching around we could nowhere find the blood-stains. We therefore came to the conclusion that wc had overrun tho spot where he was hiding. By this time tho sun had set, and we were beginning to fear that we had lost him altogether. Fortunately, a Bhrel who was In front of us caught sight of him, and brought us the information where he was to he found. Wc accord ingly went In chase, and again getting up to him, once more fired, but without effect, for away went tho tiger, we fol lowing. As I got near I saw tho crea ture lying at the foot of a tree, biting at its paw and tearing up the ground In its rage. I ordered my mahout to bring the elephant closo up to him. I was just taking aim when the tiger charged. but was prevented from springing by the thick branches of a large fallen tree which lay between us. Disappointed in his attempt, the brute now crossed the nullah. We both followed, and 1 was pushing on my elephant In order to get a near shot aud kill him, when he onco more charged with a roar which made the elephant turn tail. Tho tiger on this caught her by her hind leg. On feeling the tiger's claws, she kicked out with a force that made it drop, and off she set scuttling away as hard as she could pelt thiough the jungle, her ec centric performances making my guns roll from bide to side in the houdah, while I was in every danger of being knocked over, houdah and all, as she careered under the wide-spreading boughs of the trees. It was about the most unpleasant ride I ever had. When we had gone half a mile the mahout managed to stop her, and turned her hack. In the meanwhile Macbean had been blazing away at the beast wblcb had several times attempted to get at hhn, and was evidently determined to die game. Once more on my return I fired, when a second time my cowardly elephant took fright and bolted, but was stopped sooner than before, and on re turning to the scene of action I put a couple of bullets through the tiger's head, which finally finished him. never saw an animal die so hard. Though an old brute, he was not more than nine fect in length. On skinning him, a small bullet was found imbedded in his flesh, close to the shoulder. "Ah, I was right, then," said Jungly Baba, holding it. "This would have just fitted Ram Singh's matchlock, and proves that this brute is the very man eater that killed hlM." To show their gratitude the people brought out milk and sweetmeats to offer us, and our men had a plentiful repast provided for them, while there were great rejoicings in the neighbor ing villages when It was known that tho scourge of the district had at last been slain. When a girl Is young she wants num erous dolls, but when she It older her wants Increase, and she desires several dollars. The Moolinajter's Darter. Jug Tavern was the deadest mining- camp In Idaho. So every one said who could tell the difference between a min ing-camp and a camp-mcctlng. There hadn't been over three men Killed there all winter- and this had not been be causo of a lack of material or absence of provocation. Two Chinese laundry- men had been located on the main street since early fall, and two San Francisco gamblers had spent a fortnight In the town and when they departed tho form er owners of 22,000 and some odd dol lars' worth of dust mourned Its loss. There was material enough to Inaugur ate a cemetery, as every ono remarked, and the fact that none of it had been utilized was what led those conversant with the subject to allude to its life in the past tense. The boys were sitting around the stove in tlio Pay Dirt saloon one evening in early spring, discussing this lamentable condition of affairs, when Jltn, the bartender, laconically observed : "Fire over at the Cup last night." "Whereabouts?" Inquired a stalwart miner, whose checked shirt had given him the name of .Toilet. "The school-master's shanty," said the barkeeper. 'Well," responded Joltet, witli fine contempt, "served him right. Had no business to start n school at Tin Cup. When they began starting schools In Idaho mining-camps, it's time for men to dig out. We got schools where wo come from, eh, boys?" "What became of the school-master's daughter?" inquired one of the boys in the back part of the room. "Daughter, did yon say?" Interrogat ed Jollet, while tho other listeners be gan to exhibit signs of interest in the narrative. "Yes, his little girl; what became of her?" "I didn't know ho had a girl. How old Is she?" "There you get me. I ain't a good judge of girls' ages. Seems to me she Is about 20." "Pretty?" "Well, now you're talking. As pret ty as a rose. That's what they called her over at the camp 'The Itose of Tin Cup.' Didn't you ever hear tell of her? That's funny. She's the girl that brought Dick Stubbs through the fever. Left her home and went right over to his shack and stayed there, boys!Styed there night aud day going on four weeks a-nurslng that great, big, good-for-noth ing fellow." "Is that so?" Inquired Jolict. "Well, I'll be blowed! 1 didn't know thetc was a woman within 100 miles of here. And you say she is pretty?" "That's what I said." replied the other sentcntiously, "and when I say a thing I mean it." This was a statement no one felt like disputing, however much ground there might have been to doubt it. An ex perienced miner seldom disputes with a mau who is aroused about a trivial mat ter unless he Is drunk. "What did you hear of the girl?" in quired Jolict of the barkeeper, "Burned to death," replied that indl. vidual, tersely. "And tho school-master?" "Dead, loo. Tho story I heard was that tho fire broke out In the middle of the night. Tho girl tried to put it out without waking the old man. Her clothes caught fire. He woko up. Put 'em out, hut she died and so did ho. no never got out of tho building. Boasted right there. He could a got away all right if he hadn't stopped to look after the girl. That's tho story I heard. Now you know all I know." "Well," observed Jolict, after a mo ment of impressive silence, "ho was a brick if he was a school-mastor. Pity the girl died, though," Tho sllcnco which followed this ob servation was soon rudely broken by a scuttle, outside of tlio bar-room door whicli soon gave way, and a stranger entered the room, stamping the snow off his boots and shaking It from his coat and wlde-brlmmcd hat. "Bad night," ho remarked, as he stalked up to the bar and called for a half-pint of the best in the house. Wltilo ho was draining the glass the miners had an opportunity to size him up. Ho was tall and squarely built, roughly dressed and unshaven charac teristics which are shared alike by all miners. His face was his only striking peculiarity. It was ugly in spite of its veil of hair, and his eyes were palish green, like those of a snake. At first glance ho was the opposite of prepos- scsslng, but this made littlo difference with tho company present. Manly beauty was not to bo expected in a mining-camp, and, luckily for tho new comer, Jug Tavern was not an exception to the rule. After room had been made for him in the circle around the stove the boys waited in silence for him to speak. "Has any one seen Bill Coons around here?" he inquired at length, No one replied. "I'd like to sec him, that's all," he continued savagely. Then he paused for an answer, As nono was vouchsafed, he resumed: "Bill Coons Is the man I've been after for tho past two years, and all I wan't is to get at him." " What' ve you got against BlllCoons?" inquired the barkeeper. "It's none of your Duslness,"answered tho stranger, "but I don't mind saying It's on account of his daughter," "His daughter?" repeated the bar keeper. "What could his daughter havo to do with you?" "What's that to you?" replied tho stranger, as he laid his hand on the butt of a largo pistol, while the crowd edged away to avoid any stray bullets that might chance to miss their. "Drop your gun and throw up your hnnds,"qulctly remarked tho barkeeper, as he leveled a huge navy revolver at the stranger. "Hold up your hands or I'll make a lead mine of you." Without wastinc anv words in ex planation ot expostulation, the stranger hastened to obey. "Now." continued the barkcener. without lowerlmr his weanon. "tell me what you know about Bill Coons's daughter." "I know." stammered the strancer. . I The sentence was never finished. After those boys who had remained in tho room had laid tlio dead man out they turned their attention to tho bar keeper, who was rubbing his glasses behind the counter as-lf killing a man was an eyery-day amusement. "What did you kilt htm for, Jim?" inquired Jollet, hesitatingly, for the barkeeper had demonstrated before that ho was not the man to ask Impertinent questions of. "HemadoareiiiarknbotitBIIl Coons's daughter." '.Who Is Bill Coons?" "He was tho school-master of Tin Cup." " Well,w hat was his daughter to you?" "To mo I" repeated tlio barkeeper, quietly. "Nothing very much. She was only my sister." WILL BE BOYS. "Boys will be boys," observed a trav eler from the South, "and I guess it doesn't make much difference whether they aro white or black, city or country. Down where I have been In Florida there's a littlo black boy hanging about tho place,and he Is tho laziest chap I ever saw. He Is too lazy to eat. He sleeps two-thirds of the time, and doesn't get more than half awake the other third. He lias no ambition to do anything but snooze and get enough grub to keep him from hunger. A few days before I left I was taking a walk down by tho shore of the bayou, when I heard a scream. Rush ing into the tall grass and weeds that fringe the water I saw tho most horrible sight my eyes ever boheld. That colored boy was hanging with his hands to a sapling, and his fect were in tlio mouth of a huge alligator. It was plain to mo that tho pickaninny had been asleep and the 'gator had crawled up and seized him. I was so horrified that it seemed as If my heart would refuse to beat. I wouldn't look upon such a spectacle again for $10,000. It drove mo finally wild. I had no weapon, and as you may imagine I was frantic. It is my firm belief that tha sight of that 'gator with his awful Jaws upon the poor boy's feet knocked an even ten years out of my life." "But did you succeed in saving the boy?" "He didn't need any saving. Tho little rascal was as safe as you are this minute. As I seized a fence rail and rushed up to beat the reptile over the licad, Uiat boy grinned at mo in delight. Yon sec, the alligator was a dead one. and the pickaninny had gone down there aud stuck his feet in his mouth and hollered when ho saw mo walking his way. I guess tlio laziest kid that ever liycu was not too lazy to play a prank. FLOATING DIAKuNDS. About twenty mllos below Natchez wo sighted some object drifting with the current of the great river, and after the captain had taken a look through the glass ho exclaimed to the passeng ers: "That's a .scow loaded with hoop- polcs for New Orleans. She's sprung a leak and is water-logged," Pretty soon wo mado out that such was the fact, and tttrtlicr discovered that tlio crew, consisting of a man and his wife, were still aboard. Ho was up to his knees in water, and Using an oar to keep the craft in tho current, while the woman was on top of a box in the center of the craft, with bare fect hang ing in the water. The raftsman sig nalled tho steamer to stop, and ns she drifted near him ho called out! "Captain, this is sad." "Yes, very sad." "I want to git to Orleans." "I sec." "How much to transfer my cargo and tako us all down?" "A hundred dollars." "Shoo! Wife, do vou hear that?" "I hear him. Offer him ten." "Captain, I'll give yo ten dollars!'' called the man. "Umph! A hundred Is the least." "Then you may git up and hump and be off I" shouted tlio woman, as she swashed her feet about. "This old thing can't sink any lower, and wo've got brcailjand pork and a euchre deck to Kerry us through I" The steamer ttartcd, and as she got Beau way me woman stood up anil called after us: "We ain't purty.and our old box don't go oy steam, out we rn just as goon as anybody on this earth and maybe a nine ueuer." -THE BEST TONIC. ?
