"Then sometimes, sir," said old
Matthew Duncan, the cuat-t guard at
I raiubay, " I've thought I'd write a
book. I've got eo far as to think
what color the cover should be, and
mat's Lull the battle; and I settled
U1.1t it should be as like the Union
Jack as the book folk can make it;
but I never get any further. I'll tell
you some of the things I've seen
through this glass, and what I've
ihount ol theoj, too ; and it they do
any i"ke, I'll be ail the better
pleased.
'"Now, first of all, you point this
jia.-o over at youdtr old bit of
ruin ou the cliffs. You can't see a
large black btone in it well, the fo-cu.-i
iiiu't right for your eye ; every
man niur-t shift it fur himself; but
the stone is there
' Ay, 1 see it now. And I see a
white cross a rough dab ot paint
on it.
"Right; when a man sees that,
'lis a Mgn he has the focus right and
that he can see as I could only 1
hope he'll never get a chauce to see
what I saw. Wnen a man can see
that white mark, 'tis a sign that he
could know one person from anoth
er il they were standing at the same
(.-lace; and that he could see all
Uiev wire doing, and so to speak,
almost hear what they were saying.
e ain t quite come to that jet, but
if what folks say who come to talk
to me m the summer time be true,
we're ou our way to it and vie
am t lar away, either, tsut now
you're sure that a man standing here
can tee whals going on over
there.
" Well, fifteen years ago, come
mill-summer to-day, I was on guard
here at three o'clock in the morn
ing. 1 generally gbve a iook an
around with that glass; and aa there
as nothing in view at all nut to
sta, I kept watching a rabbit that
was skipping in and out amongst
the 6tones of the old ruin. Present
ly I saw it was frightened and ran
away, and I said to myseii. .ow,
whatb that; tor you know when a
man is long hours in the same place,
and there day after day, he's glad of
anything that uiaks a stir.
"I hadn't long to wait before I
saw what made the rabbit jump
away in such a hurry ; a man and
woman cati,e out of the ruins and
tat on some of the loose stones out
side. The man was dark, with a
t-ailur's dress, and as far as I could
see anu mat i mm was pretty
near was about thirty years of age.
He waru'l the looking man that I'd
tru.it myself to if 1 were a young
girl but no living man can tell
what any living woman will do, or
wiil nut do, or why she will do it
or will not do it and that's a
knowledge I've come to by thinking,
and by watching my old woman,
and was one of the firtit things 1
inltndtd putting down in my book.
At first these two were friendly
enough even if thet'lass were wrong
in the focus, I could have seen that
liiey were sweethearts; but after
they had been there about half an
hour or so, 1 saw that the girl began
to move away from him ; and when
he shifted his seat so as to get near
her, the made another move.
" aid I. ' Uera's the old story of
all the world, cfmornirg, noon alid
night, going on here on top of this
did at ftiur c'clock in the morning.'
" But I hadn't time lor much
thinking as it took all my attention
watching. There was a quarrel and
that was plain. But, ' Pooh,' sys I
to myself, they'll kiss and be fiei.ds
in ten ininutt?.' Well, I waited for
the kie.-ir g, and then thought I'd
have another look aiound the ocean.
But that poor girl never cot a kiss
again. There was a something in
her hand that he wanted to get-
that was plain though I conldn't
exactly make out what it was, but !
w hatever it was he snatched it from 1
fc
her, and she struck at him in her
ai g r, mid then there was a pushing
about, but always with her getting
nearer and nearer the edge of the
cliff, until at last I saw the man's
two arms thiust straight out, and
over she went. Once or twice she
hung on the face of the rock ; her
dress caught in the brambles then ;
but it was only for a moment, she

on't report it,
, for if Ii do,
even to mv old woman, for if I, do,
th.re's no tellin U whom ehe'il re-
port it again. And the reason 1 had
for r.nt rfi.inir this was. Isavs to rov-
self 'if there's nobody missing and
I if the body never urns up, as I

wait and see Jthethr the body id down he goes, and goes through all

myself, 'I can't tell that a murder! last and I never could make this

there's no rioubt of that, and there sous one was pu.-hing him from be

ing over wasan accident ; I couldn't j nearer to the edge of the cliff, over
swear that, when he thrust out hi
two hands, he had given her a push
that bad sent her over.'
" Well, sir, the burden of my se
cret lay heavy on my mind, and as I
walked up and down on my lonely
beat, it began to eat into me, says
I to myself, 'Matthew Duncan, you
knoT of a murder, and you've never
told of it,' and it ended in my get
ting a fever, and I s as near dead
aj a man could be. When 1 came a
bit to myself I had the parson seutiO' it was gone into and touud out.
for and I told him that I had a great " I said, "Captain, have the ruins
load on my mind, ami wanted t- searched, and I'll take anyone you
ease it by teliing it to him, and I ! name to the spot
told him the whole storv from begin-j '"Well, Duncan,' said he, 'I'd be
ninz to end. and ourca'ptain I had jsorr; for you to g of! your heail,
him in, too.
But the gentleman only smiled
at what 1 said "Poor fellow,' says
one, 'the fevei'son him still.' 'Ay,'
suvs the other, 'you see 'tis the same
thing he's been raviog on
all
along.'
" Well, I was very weak, and
couldn't talk much, ami I as wea
ry with my earnestness in tryingto
make them believe w hat I said, so I
j ist laid hack with my eye closed,
and they thought I was asleep. But
I heard them talking, and the cap
tain said, ' 'Tis a pity, too, for he's
one of the bent and sharpest-eyed
men on the force, and I'm afraid
he'll never be fit for anything again.'
Oh, 'twill work off,' said the minis
ter; 'you may be sure that when he
strengthens up he will forget all his
fever ftneies. You mu-tn'l think of
his leaving the service. He muet
get sick-leave for awhile. I've seen
many cares as strai ge as this, and
they came around all right at last.'
" Well, I mad two or three more
attempts, and I tried the doctor, but
he says,' I'll send you Some strength
ening medicine, Duncan, and you'll
be all right, and he t ipped his lore
head and said, ' Fever makes sad
work with our brains.'
" I saw it was no use trying to
persuade any of the gentlemen ; I
did my best, and there, now, 1 must
leave it.
" But I warn't quite easy in my
mind. Looking at it now at this
distance of time, I think it was my
duty to have reported it, and taken
the consequences, whatever they
might have been, but this I did; I
says to myself, ' There's no knowing
what may turn op by-and-by, if this
is murder murder will out, as the
saying is, but I may not remember
ail that ought to be remembered by
the only man that saw the deed done;
so I just took and wrote down on a
paper what I had seen, and hid it
carefully away lest it should come to
any baud. And if I died well, I
took care that the account, whatever
it might be worth, should not be
lost, for I marked it outside, ' When
I am dead this paper is to be given
to the minister of this parish, and no
one is to brtak one of the seals upon
it but himself.' And to make the
matter as sure as I could, I put six
seals upon it every one of them
different I borrowed them far and
near, wherever I could. I put down
the dav, the hour, and the color nf
the young lady's drers, the shape of
Ler hat, and the cut ot the young;
man s beard and whifkers, and the
red handkerchief around his neck

could be seen grazing m the distance
and which had been marked down
beforehand. There was no difficul

the deer. Then one of the cheetahs,
a fine male, was unhooded and set
free. Its departure from the pharry
and its decision in choosing the
most covered line on the open plain

from the cart and appear simulta
neously half way toward the fine
black buck it had sighted out for at
tack. When at about thirty yards
from the unsuspicious troop, they
suddenly became aware of the dead
ly peril they were in. Oue and all
sprang into the air with galvanic
bounds, and no doubt expected to
escape easily by flight But the
hunting cheetah is, I suppose, for a
hundred yards, bv far the fleetest of
all wingless things; and this one
was soon in the mid.-tof the affright
ed throng, which scattered wildly
aud panic-stricken in all directions,
as their lender was struck down in
iheir midsL There he lay, alone, in
his death aony, in the deadly clutch
of his beautiful and relentless foe.
We all ran at. bard as we could, and
were soon surrounding the strange
group.
Neither animal moved, for the
buck was paralyzed by fear his
starting eye-balis and dilated nostrils

oheeiah, ou the other hand, with
bis body spread out over the pros
trate form of his victim, seemed to
strain -very nerve in pressing his
prey ag.ii nst the earth as, with his
long sharp fangs buried in its deli
cate throat, he continued the proceea
of strangulation. He was perfectly
motionless, hut his eyes were fixed
upon us with a glare ot extraordi
nary ferocity that became intensified
as bis keepers rushed forward and
seized the deer ly the hind leg. The
brute now growled fiercely, and,
tightening his clutch, looked so ex
tremely dangerous that I was far
from envying those who were in
such close proximity to him. But
they knew their trade. With a long'
sharp knife they cut the deer's throat
and caused the warm blood to spout
in torrents into the face of the half
wild beast, whose frame now seemed
to thrill with ecstacy. One of the
ojiei-ators, in the meanwhile, caught
a quantity of the crimson life stream
in a wooden bowl, and forced the
steaming fluid under the very nose
of the excited leopard, who at once
began to lap it with avidity. While
engaged in this process the leather
hood was swif Jy clapped over his
eyes, and the collar wun two cnains
attached waa. adjusted round his
neck. While this was going on a
third man bad cut off one of the
buck's hind lttas, and this, the 'lion's
share,' was held close to the bloody
chalice, whicli was no sooner emp
tied than the brute seized the meat
thus provided with a vice-like grip.
Ech chain vss now grasped by a
different man, who by keeping apart
so that the tether remainea taut,
kept tne leopard between them in
such a wav that neither was within
reach of his :laws or teeth. Then
the third individual, who had ever
retained his hold of the shank-bone
of the leg of venison, gently drew
the cheetah to the little cart which
had htn brought close up. As soon
as the beasi felt himself against the
edge of his own familiar chariot he
sprang lightly upon it and proceeded
to demolish his succulent morcenu
at his ease.
I now inspected the carcass of the
deer with a view to ascertaining, if
possible, how the cheetah had been
able so instantaneously to strike
down such a powerful animal im
mediately on getting up with it. I
at uce observed a single long, deep
garih in the flank, which was evi
dently caused by the decisive bow.
But l could not imagine with what
weapon the leopard had been able
to inflict tliis very strange-looking
wouud, for the cheetah has a foot
like a dog, and his claws are not re
tractile. Turning then to the beast,
as it sat on the cart, I inspected it
closely, and saw that the dew claw,
which in the dog appears such a
useless appendage, is represented in
this brute by a terrible looking talon
exactly suited to the infliction of
such a gash. Our Indian Stations

the part of the prosecuting attorneys
and criminal judges todotheirdutv.
This failure is to be attributed to
what may best be called "local in
fluences." If a Judge belongs to
one faction, or owes his election to a
particular party, his opponents at
once declare their inab ity .orecriye
fair treatment at ti bauus. In oue
of the counties where scores had
been killed who belonged to opp
posing factions, and where houses
were barricaded and the law aban
doned, where women and chi'dren
were armed, and the extermination
of the entire population a matter ot
earlv posihiiitv. the governor re
quested Judg" William L. Jackson,
ot tne Loui.-viIie circuit, to hold
court. No body thought the JuJtre
would comply, but iu thi they
were mistaken, f-r he proceeded at
once to tne scene of bloodshed,
quietly announced his presence and
made known his mission. These
facts excited the greatest curiisiiy,
throughout the county, and when
the day of trial came ou the whole
populace appeared in the court

The Sheriff, answered in the neg

to ofiey thb court that he had found
the house of the witness barricaded
and full of armed mountaioeers.who
swore they would bill any man who
