SPAiN,•AND ENGLAND
Spain is said -to be alarmed or offended In
Q ousequence of a hint lately_ throWn out, in
the British Parliament, by Lord MausEsainvi
Foreign Secretary, that if Cuba continued to
be a receptacle for African negroes, contrary
to express stipulation, England might find it
politic to withdraw her protection of Cuba,
and leave the United States to treat ,for its
cc annexation," in any - way thought most desi
rable. Spain, it: is, said,'implorea Nance' to
take the place of England, in protecting Cuba
from American ' annexation, and France has
promised so to interfere.
There are reasons why England should con
sent to see Cba, pass into the hands of Uncle
Sam. There are other reasons why such.
consummation should not be satisfactoty.
We shall state the pro and con, as hriidly anZ('
clearly as possible.
Whoever will take the trouble:of looking 41
a rztap of the West Indies, may perp4ve a t a
glancd the true cause of Snglanft's s e te,t .
like to die ciecnpatiOn and posse
by. the United States. In the fullness e,
in all probability, the whole of North Alaerlca
will be incorporated into one vast Union. On
the north, the territory now held by /bleak
and Great Britain may fall into this volt an
nexation. On the south may be inOtded
Mexico, Yucatan, and Guatemala. There
may, and there probably will, be . sonle delay
before this great Union be accomplished—but
in this country, where we suddenly sprang
into maturity from the very hour of our na
tional birth, (like Minerva issuing in radiant
armorfrom the cloven head of J upiter ,) . events
move onward with a speed and strength w1;olly
unknown, almost undreamed of, in the 'Old
World. We are an acquisitive people. Anitex
ation is not simply a desire with us. It Is more
—lt is a principle. Many among us wilinot
be content as a nation until .
" The whole unbounded Continent I, ours."
And if.ours, all the adjacent islands, also.
For it never would answer, then, to permit the
islands which cluster near us, in the Can
bean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, to remain in
the possession of other Powers. Cuba, file
Bahama Islands, Hayti, the Windward and the
Leeward Islands, are natural appendages to
the North American Continent. Without
them the Confederacy would not, could nd,
be all-powerful. Therefore, in due 80,
when all of North America shall have becore
nationalized under the comprehensive geneie
title of " The United
,States "--if not log
before—these insular gems may naturally fiii
their fitting and permanent places in our d%=
deep of Republican Empire.
Upon the acquisition of Cuba, it t a
pretty certain that Young America has Ti
ther set his mind. Ho sees what it is—ln
"calculates" what it might be. It is a noble
island, and some of our native enterprise
Would
,and
it ono of the finest countries in.
the world. Under the misgovernment 41
Spain, it unhappily realizes what BON said :
"Strange that where Nature meant to trees,
As if for gods, a dweilingeplace,
There Mau, enamored of distress,
'Should mar it into wilderness."l
Young America sees its vast capabilities—
knows how much could be made of tlierni i
anticipates the glory and the gain of fully d
veloping them,lnd impatiently frets beeansi'
there does not opportunely open time - Mame
_ a ._
sire. How is this to be done 1 By policy Or
power z -by purchase or tains. Some wal or
other, he resolves that Cuba shall change
ownership. The man mho counselled his son
thus: "Get money, honestly if you capsbut
—get money," must have been a contidartt
of Young America, and whispered, it Tako
Cuba, fairly and peaceably if you can, but-/-
take it."
What would be thought in Europe if Cuba-:-
the very .Queen of.all the group of West India
Islands—wera IA become part and parcel of
our own American territory and Confederation?
With the exception of Hayti, (which claims tc
be independent under our ebony-colored friend,
the, Emperor FAINITIN-SOULOUQUE the First,)
all these islands belong to European Powers,
They are under the respective sovereignties of
England, Spain, France, Holland, Sweden,
and Denmark. Not one square yard on all
this abundantly fertile and valuable group of
islands belongs to the United States, or to
any other American power. Sovereigns who
reside at a distance of 8,000 miles are the
owners—or say that they are—of all these
Islands. They keep up their connection with
them rather out of pride than profit. As
Colonies, their possession may swell the con
sequence of certain crowned heads on the
other side of the Atlantic, but the connection
is not profitable, and is sometimes very detri
mental toboth parties:--to the Soverelgnsand to
the subjects. With the bare exception of Cuba,
which really does contribute to the exhausted
treasury of Spain, not ono of these islands
pays for the expense of being governed from
Europe. They aro retained, therefore, at
heavy cost to the "mother country," (as it is
facetiously called,) and only to add ?lamina/
Importance to the fading dynasties of Europe.
Among them, England has managed to seize
upon the lion's share, but.not one of the British
:West India Islands is self-supporting. Every
one of them is a drain, year after year, upon
the treasury in London. But for pride, which
would be injured by the relinquishment, Groat
Britain, as a matter of profit and, loss, would
gladly surrender her West India Islands.
it' England thus, so also France, Holland, Swe
den, and Denmark.
Europe Sees the United States maklttg a
progress wholly unprecedented in the history
of nations, ancient or modern. Europe sees
how this country prospers under that Repub
lican form of Government whioh gives fair
play to the intellect, the industry, the enter
prise of its inhabitants, and gives the lowliest
man fair, and even chance in the contest
for wealth, reputation, office. We have got
On very well, in -the ahsence of the old
feudalities which keep honesty and talent and
industry and character almost wholly in the
back-ground in Europe.. Tliere is a keen
monwhical dread of such an example. Eu
ropean rulers imprison, torture, and banish
those who dare avow Republican principles.
But the very word "American," reminding
of a Republic flourishing and progressive,
must be banished from European lips, if Eu
ropean rulers want to put down Democratic
principles. • For, with our example before
the world, who dare say that a Republic is
Utopian ?
, If the United States were once to obtain
Cuba, the great natural resources of that
island would undoubtedly be fully developed,
d then all the rest of the West Indies must
Mane to tho motive cause of such prosperi
ty, and eventually become absorbed by the
United States.
England, as the largest West Indian pro
'Motor, is afraid of such a consummation, and
would fain prevent whatever may be supposed
to lead to it. This is ono great reason why
gngland has hitherto stood* out, as the ally of
Spain, against the annexation of Cuba to tho
United States.
But circumstances may arise which would
reconcile England to such a change. Exactly
ten yearkago, whets Sir 'HENRY BULWER Was
sent Out of Spain, on pretext, of his interfering
to get up a revolutionary movement, it was
civilly intimated to Signor Imam, then
Spanish Ambassador to London, that his pass
ports were ready, and his room more desired
than his company. At the same time,- Pan
measrON gave a semi-official hint that Eng
land was much Inclined to take up the ques
tion of Spanish indebtedness to Englishmen,
and seize Cuba, in order to retain it until the
seventy to a, hundred millions sterling of the .
Spanish bonds held in'Engiand were paid off,
with accumulation of interest in full. If Eng
land were assured that these claims would be
rid or, 91 :1 tl9 i 194140,14 Qul . )* la Ole United
States, she would Smitbely stand by Spain
any longel'% „
Lord PdAmsgssuar's threat was very signifl
nant, and something must have been meant by

upon this BMA, it remains undiminished. Let us
examine a few of theso promises and. see how theY
have been kept.
To secure 'the nomination for Congress in 1850,
he promised our venerable county commiesioners
that he, and he only, could and would get back a
certain sum ofsB,ooo, waichthey,had advanced to
,send the Berns county volunteers to Alexteci—at

advanced $2,000. Thipthe eloquentandsagaeions

that if they. would support him he would'

the man of Magnificent promises , 'forgot all
'grout the county's $2,000, and the city's
s2,ooo,ind 'the 'tariff he was to advocate, but
quietly pocketed his salary, &a., and dined at the
President's,. perhips, but did nothing else, and
came home to be a candidate for, re-election.
Then the lamented H. A. Muhlonburg stopped
in, and 3.9. J. stepped out, on very short notice.
lint death opened the way again to Jones, and he
gave up the idea of going to California, which ho
threatened to do, in disgust. lie pow promised, the
gational Foundry ! He, and he only, could get that
for Reading, and if only elected, he would, to a
certainty, bring it home with him in his carpet-bag.
But Jones has come home, and gone back again for
seven years, and 'we never hear of the National
Foundry or of the , tariff, except when on the ere
cf an election. Would you keliove it, ho is as full
if promises now as ever? What he will do if only
tenominated is again the burden of his song. , Ono
ihould suppose that by this time he ought to be
tblo to speak of what he had done, not what he
will do !—to point to something more substantial
than 'Presidential dinners. If ho had voted for E.
Jt y Morris's resolution in regard to the tariff, it
might have been the means of proViding dinners
for some of our workingmen, who aro now out of
employment by hundreds. Whothor file oily man
ners will smooth down the troubled waters remains
to be seen ; but if an unlimited stook of promises,
ready for every party and shade of party, will do it,
he is the man to go in and win: P.

THE SCHOOL JOURNAL
'For The Frees 3
The July number of the School Journal contains
a biography of Professor Hart, of the High School,
over the signature of A. J. M., in which are a
couple of announcements that seem to require some
notice. In its first lines it states that Professor
Hart's name rune parallel with the successful ex
istence of the Central High School ; and lest any
I doubt should exist as to the extent of the writer's
moaning, we are told farther on, that at first the
school wee practically a failuro, had a year and a
half of precarious and doubtful existenoe, and was,
then remodelled. Professor Bache became its first
principal, and continued so for two years and a
half—from January, 1840, to July, 1842. There is
no more said of this remodelling, or of Professor
Bache's connection with the school.
There are some young mon in this community to
whom the reference to the change of principal of
the High School brings sad reeollections. With
all the crowd of names that have graduated. since
Mr. Hart's accession we have no hesitation in com
paring those of the class which first graduated
there, under Mr. Ilaohe's regime, and before, ac
cording to Mr. Hart's biographer, the school bad
commenced a successful existence.
We recall, without an effort, the time when Mr.
Bache left the High School. We remember the
tears that we were unable to repress when we were
sailed upon to part with him. We felt, ono and
all, that we loved him like a brother; and we
knew that his treatment of us had been like that
of an older. wiser, and more experienced, but
thoughtful and affectionate brother. We had not
a recollection of his intercourse with us in which
there were not mingled sentiments of deep reve
rence and affection, and we sorrowed greatly over
his departure.
To those who bad boon in the school while ho
was principal, the change to Professor Hart was by
no means happy. Affection gave place to fear,
and reverence to disrespect, as the pupils found
the system of government changing from one of
dignified love and confidenog in their own self
• overnmeut to another made up of cold and rigid
rinality, favoritism, espionage, and tyranny.
e Ye woula not give one of the tears that rained
from o'crfull hearts" when Mr. Bache left the
High School for the most costly service of plate
that 'meld over be wrung from the pockets of
unwilling contributors by the zealous applications
of fawning sycophants and favorites.
We would suggest to the editors of the School
Journal, as they propose to give a series of bio
graphies of the professors, that the simple truth
will better servo all useful purposes than syco
phantic ®laudation. As for Professor Hart, too
much toadyism may provoke oemmeuts not calms
toted to do him any good. Hs has many good quali
ties, and would be an excellent teacher; but
there aro many of the High School graduates, and
of others too. who believe him to be destitute, in a
groat degree, of the breadth of judgment, and that
human sympathy with different conformations of
Youthful character necessary for the administra
tive head of such an institution ng the °entre]

A FATHER KILLB THE SEDUCER OF RN
CHILD.—The Vicksburg Sun of the 25:11 ult.
gives full particulars of the killing or Dr. Mitch
ell, by Parker Willisma. near Lake Bolivar :
"As soon as Mr. Williams was made aware that
his daughter bad been ruined by Dr. Mitchell, his
family physician—a man in whom he bad ever
placed the most implicit confidence, and for whom
ho bad over entertained the profoundest esteem
and respect—he felt that he was an outraged man
—that he could have borne all the ills that heaven
could inflict upon him, in any shape but that. In
dignation naturally filled his bosom, and the re
fleotlon that it was the man whom he onoe che
rished as a friend, that had stabbed his pence of
mind, and covered his name with infamy, served
to intensify his resentment and give a keener
pang to his anguish. He became desperate. Then
it was that he made up his mind to avenge his
daughter's honor. The cup of his indignation was
full to overflowing. Me sent for the author of his
woes, Dr. Mitchell, who immediately repaired to
the house upon which be had brought such misery,
and as he was on the point of extending his hand
to Mr. Williams, the father of the unfortunate
victim of the seducer's arts, the latter (Mr Wit.
Hams) pulled out his pistol and shot him dead.
Dr. Mitchell formerly lived in'this eounty,'where
his wife is residing at present. Ills slayer imme
diately gave himself up to the proper authorities,
and his trial will come off at an early day."
A Bnava YOUNG UNCLit.-A correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Post relates the following touching
incident; "As we left Pittsburgh in the oars, we
observed a small boy named Stitt, about twelvo
years of age, poorly sled, but very intelligent,
having with him an infant ten months old, the
child of his sister,'who died a few weeks ego. The
lad had brought the infant from lowa city. whore
the mother died, and was on his way to Harris
burg. The young uncle had oared for and nursed
it all the way—a weighty bharge for ono so young.
It would not, perhaps, have been so much remarked
bad a young girl been the custodian of the orphan
babe; but here was a mere boy, putting away
childish things, and mauling all the °area and
responaibility of a parent, during a journey of a
thousand miles at least The' passengers manb
footed the greatest interest in the little wayfarer
and his charge, the ladies especially in turn re
lieving the lad of his burden, as he appeared to be
almost exhausted with
,his long journey. Such
constancy and manlineas in one of gush youthful
years is not often exhibited, and certainly well

AUSTRALIAN JIM WALKER
This name was avowedly an alias, but Jim
always evaded any attempt to discover his
real patronymic, which I have no doubt he
had wilfully buried in oblivion, lest he should
reflect disgrace on .his family. I know that
ho never wrote to, nor received letters from,
them. HO told me once that he wished his
friends to think him dead, and I have reason
to.believe.that on more than one occasion" he
refused to ,'notice adVertisementa in colonial
papers;cailing on him; byhis true natne, to
communicate with them. '
Jim's history—as I gleaned from him ono
day, when a trifling actof kindness had opened
his heart—was a sad, but common one. , He
was the child of very' respectable'-parents:
The captain of the vessel in Whichlie came
out offered to take him back on credit; but
Jim's pride forbade his acceptance, of Ole
kindly offer; he feared to be. taunted with
on-success ; and," said he, I'd, , have died

and Jim Walker I've been ever since."
The grwit event in Jim's colonial career co-'
curred when he was, a - shepherd on the glen
Lyon Run, which is situated'on the borders of
the Tatiara ,district. Tho blacks inhabiting

rarely ventured abroad unarmed..
• Jim was appointed to one of the fmit-eta,-
tions; and as the coubitry consisted 1110DM
pally of large open plains; he had a ,prett37
,easy nine of it. The hut". was snugly MumfMCedi'
in a nook of the low roc.iry hills which lormefli
the northern boundary of the Ran. On these'
hills grew a few stunted she-oaks and 'dwarf
honey-suckle trees, interspersed with dense
scrub, which afforded no inconsiderable screen
from the hot wjnds. ,A single wateir-bola,--the,
only summerleatige of winter.torrantsr-vias
near at hand, and immediately In front of the
but was the nightly foliling gr:ound: •' '
- - -
Jim's only companlr . n ,in 'this 'Rely: spot
was Willie, the but-keeper,,, a quiet fiCetch
body, with whose homely conversation Jim
was fain to bo content; save when one of the
overseen; rode over &min tie hu ad station, or
a bullock-driver brought down , . stores, or a
chance wanderer passeil. The latter: was;
however, a very, rare occurrence ; for the .
locality was much out of the usual tit Icil• • '
One afternoon, as Jim and his fru. Sty dog
Sandie followed the sheep homeward; I. I.w, as
surprised at not perceiving any signs of it ;111 I.•
Imagining that the hot weather, had o'C'er
powered that usually vigilant personage, Ji 'rn
shouted loudly for him to ic wake up," am I
help to fold the sheep. Receiving no answer,-
he hurried to the hut. .
At the 6ntranco he beheld a scene which,
to quote his own expression, "made all the
_blood in his body run cold." There was
poor Willie, lying on his face, nearly naked
and,bedabbled in gore. it was some time bo-'
fore Jim could muster courage to approach
his old chum, When he did, ho found that,
he was dead, and nearly cold end a broken
spear, in his side. betrayed that he bad been'
murdered by tho natives. The hut itself_ had
evidently been rifled; every particle .of food,
the store of flour, sugar, and tea, the blankets,
carried '6ll. — Bixt - wilavvirtrm. : • .
was, that the pistol, an old-fashioned pepper
box revolver, was missing. Fortunately, he
had taken his gun ,in the morning to shoot a
few birds, if chance offered during the day;
and, therewith, all the powder and shot re
maining on hand. Still, six extra shots were
not to be despised; and be felt that the
loss of the pistol added to his danger.
Now, all the horrors of his own position
burst upon him. The head station was fully
ton miles distant, and what enemies he might
encounter on the road it was impossible to
foretell. However, stay in the hut by himself
he could not; so he resolved to fold the flock,
and then to set off through the bush, to give
information of the event, and obtain 'assist
ance. In pursuance of this' resolution he
went out, and with the aid of the dog suc
ceeded in folding the sheep.
Hoarse with shouting—for your true bush
man can do nothing without making a great
uproar—Jim went to the water-hole to drink,
preparatory to starting on his perilous jour
ney. He was just rising from the recumbent
position necessary to enable him to reach the
water, when Sandie gave a loud growl; and,
at the same instant, Jim saw the shadow of a '
human figure reflected in the water. Cau
tiously gazing around, lie behold several dusky
forms moving through the thick undergrowth
of the opposite range. His first impulse was
to fly; but aware of the necessity of conceal
ing his alarming discovery, he mastered his
emotion, and ordering the dog to follow,
walked quietly back to the hut.
Barricading the door as well as circumstan
ces would permit, Jim sat down on ono of
the old stumps which supplied the place of
more convenient seats; and striving to divest
his mind of untimely fear, debated within
himself the propriety of attempting to elude
the wily savages who were in the immediate
vicinity. But the more he thought of it, the
more impracticable it appeared. To run the
gauntlet through an unknown number of ene
mies was almost certain death. On the other
hand, to remain quiescent presented only
the prospect of prolonging torture, and final
destruction. However, there was no help for
it at present, and unable to form any decisive
plan of escape, Jim did the very best thing ho
could : he made his little fortress as secure as
possible, and awaited the result.
The hut was built in the ordinary bush
fashion, of huge, upright Blabs of timber—
the lower ends being inserted in the earth,
and the upper nailed to strong beams. The
interstices were filled with the fibrous coating
of tho stringy-bark-tree, daubed over with
clay to render it wind-proof: The roof con
sisted of large sheets of bark, and the only
window was an aperture about a foot square.
This, Jim fill id with an old sack, which the
natives had probably overlooked. The chim
ney occupied nearly one side of the hut, and
was built of sods, supported on the exterior
by a closely-slabbed wall to the height of six
feet; .the upper portion closing inward on all
sides to the top, was composed of rough
palings, or slips of bush timber, split to a mod
erate thickness.
The interior formed only ono room, about
twelve lent long and ten feet wide, which suf
ficed its inmates for all purposes.
Night speedily closed iu, and in darkness
and silence sat Jim with the mangled corpse
of the hut-keeper in one of the sleeping berths
wherein ho bad laid it, and the dog crouching
•uneasily at his feet. The poor brute was with
difficulty kept from howling aloud, and once
or twice he ran to the door and moaned un
easily. He evidently comprehended that
danger was nigh.
How long Jim remained in this state of sus
pense he could never be positive. It seemed
like half a lifetime, he said. After a weary
interval Sandie growled sullenly, and sat
erect; his ears thrown back, and Ills eyes
glistening in the darkness like balls of fire.
Listening attentively, Jim heard a faint noise
as of some one treading on dry twigs. Then
Jim knew that the savages were coming.
Next moment the latch of the door was
cautiously lifted, and a gentle pressure made
against the fastenings. With a beating heart,
Jim held. the dog, and by gestures forbade I
him to move or bark. The wonderful instinct
of the animal enabled him to' comprehend
these mute commands, and no lay down qui
etly on the floor.
Soon the sack, which Jim had placed in
the aperture, was noiselessly withdrawn, and
a dark visage appeared in its place. And
now Jim could scarcely bold the excited dog,
who would fain have sprung at the intruder.
But the hole was too small to permit the en
trance of his foes, and feeling that every
grain of powder in his scantily furnished flask
would. be required, he even refrained from
tiring; and'on the v.ithdraual of the intrusive
head refilled the aperture with a block of
wood:"
. Whilst so engaged the natives uttered a yell
so unearthly that Jim shook with terror;
indeed, he afterwards acknowledged that he
was near swooning. Almost simultaneously
a rush was made at the crazy old door, which
nearly gave way, and it appeared certain that
another such shock would burst it in. To lie
still, and be worried like a badger, was not In
Jim's nature. With his sheath-knife -he

For a few .seconds Jim fafrly doubted the
evidence of his eyesight. It was -as when

Not a living soul 'could he perceive; but a

scraped -the hole a little larger; and, ,when

firearms. "They thought to smoke me ont,
as they do wombats," said Jim; ct and to spar
me as I crawled but of my den; but I deter
mined to have another trial for it, and if I
died, to die like a man, in the open air."
Seizing a small bar of tough wood, he in
serted it between the blazing slabs at the rear,
and found that they readily yielded to his
efforts. The dense smoke now tilled the hut,
and the burning embers from the roof fell
.around him iu showers. But regardless of all,
save life itself, he stripped off his blue serge
frock—an article which amok the bushman
for shirt, vest, coat, and paletdt, all in one—
and carefully-wrapped it round the lock df
the gun. He then, by a vigorous effort, de
tached two of the slabs from their upper- fai
tenings, and stealthily drew them within" th'e
hut—the slight noise attending this operatic
being disguised by the cracking of the burning
timber. Gazing through the surrounding belt
of fire and smoke be discovered that none or
his enemies were in view; all of them—as be
had anticipated—being collected on the op=
posite'side of the but. Now was the moment
for escape. One danger yet remained to be
obviated. How to still the Mous barking of
the dog he knew not; yet this would at once
acquaint the savages with his escape ; when
instant pursuit and death would inevitably be
the result. It was, therefore, absolutely ne
cessary to secure Sandie in the hut. ec I could
not bear the thoughts of doing this," Jim
used to say, when relating the incident; ct it :
seemed so cruel to the poor, faithful brute."
Still, secrecy and silence were indispensable;
the first great law of nature—self-preservation
—crushed the .generous impulses of sena.,
went ; and the dog was sacrificed to secure his
master's safety. Desirous, however, of afford
ing the animal at least a chance of escape,
Jim tied him up with a cotton handkerchief
only—in the hope that his exertions would ena
ble him to free himself before the entry of the
savages.
This done,
Jim took up his gun, and stepped
out through the flames. As he emerged one
of the natives glided round the corner; and
surprised by the intended victim's unexpected
appearance, stood for a moment Irresolute.
Before ho could speak or move, Jim felled him
to the earth with a blew of his fist ; and with
out waiting for the result, darted off, under
cover of the dense smoke, for the ranges.
Ho had surmounted the first tier, and was
crossing the valley beyond,- when the outcries
of the blacks proclaimed , that his flight had
boon discoVered. The hope of -yet saving
life lent new wings to his feet; and at any rate
he had considerably the start of his pursuers.
Before he hid proceeded very far, something
came dashing through the scrub behind him,
and he turned to confront the expected foe.
To his great delight it was the dog.
Onward sped the two fugitives, the man and
the dog. Ten bush-miles lay between them
and safety, and the pursuers were light of foot
and fleet of limb. Jim bad not, tasted' food
since mid-day, he was fatigued with toil and
watching, and suffered much pain froth nu
merous burns on his arms and shoulders. But
hunger, thirst, weariness, and pain, were all
temporarily obliterated by the necessity of ex-,
treme exertion, and as mile after mile was
passed without any evidence of pursuit, hope
which never deserts the brave—grew stronger
in the fugitive's heart.
Although uo indications of the natives were
apparent, Jim Was too well acquainted with
their nature and habits to relax his speed.
Wily as serpents, and as noiseless too, they
might be close at hand, yet invisible. '• On.
ward, therefore, he flew; life was in . - front,
death near behind. How far, or during what
time, he continued his flight, Jim could never
tell. ,He believed that he was apinoaching
the head station, yet nowhere could he discern
the traces of any human habitations. At
length, fatigued and breathless, ho was com
pelled to pause. Had the savages been yel
ling at his heels, be could not haVe proceeded.
He sought the shelter of a rocky mound,
near at hand, and lay down in its dark shadow,
intending to rest for a brief interval only. i
But he unwarily sank into a deep sleep.
From that dangerous slumber, Jim Walker
would probably never have awoken in .this
World, but for the faithful guardianship of his
dog Sandie. Aroused by the barking of that ,
vigilant companion, he opened his eyes just as'
the pay light of morning was spreading over
the horizon. Above his head the rock rose
perpendicularly to the height of about -four
teen feet. Over the margin appeared a hu
man head, which caught his startled gaze as he
awoke. Instinctively ho recognised the pros.
once of his pursuers. The savages had
tracked him to his hiding-place.
Springing to his feet, he darted forward ,
with renewed velosity; and as he did so, a
spear whizzed by close to him. Jim felt that
he had thrown away another chance of life by
halting iu the open country. Shelter there
was none ; for the track of flight lay now Over
a treeless 'plain. . Again and again spears
glanced by him, and looking round, be saw
that he was pursued by three savages, one of
whom was considerably in advance of the
other. With set teeth and straining muscles,
the hunted man pressed on, desperation and
agony in his soul. The savages rapidly gained
upon Lim; and although a stern chase is
always a log cheers, nethinti could prove%
coina!iceonverms.
