She eauirht my eye and smiled again 1 in e.i 1 iy, i u if x-en t ly. "The HuiKir w;uld like to paint my picture, wouldn't he?' she went on in a tone of certainty. 'The Sahib who ct'ii,' last year jrave me five rujices. 1 will take six this year. Food is dear, and these base-born contractors of the in ihurajah seize everything one wal nut in ten, one chicken in ten." Hut I was not going to lie lieguiled into the old complaints I e mid hear any aii.t every day from the hags in the village. I'p here on the nturg, within a stone's throw of the first patch of snow picketing the outskirts of the great glacier of gwashbrai, I like!, if possible, to forget how vile 111:111 could lie in the little shingle huts clustered lelow by the river. I will not descrile the place. To begin with, it defies description, and next, could I ever hint at its suriKtssing lieauty, the plolie-trottcr would come and defile it. It is sufficient to say that a murg is an upland meadow or alp, and that this one, with its for-get-me-iioU and sparkling glaciers, was like a turquoise net in diamonds. I had seated myself on a projecting spur, whence I could sketch a frowning defile northward, down which the emerald green river was dashing madly among the huge rocks crowned by pine trees. "I w ill give five rupees also; that is plenty,' I remarked suavely, and I'hoolijan smiled again. It must do, for I like lieing painted. Only a few Salute come, very few; but whenever they see me they want to paint me and the llowers, and it makes the other girls in the village angry Then fJoloo and Chuchchu.'' Here she went off into a tierfeet cascade of smiles, and liegan to pull the eyelash es oil" the dairies dclilicratclv. There seems a Hfuliar temptation for cruelty toward flowers in girlhood all over the world, and rinli-jan was pre-'iui- Heutly girlish. She looked 1, Uit douU if slie was really more than It;, Even so. it was odd to find her lliiap pppriatcd, so I inquired if (Jolix tir Chuchchu was the happy man. "iiy luotiicr is a widow, ' she re plied, without the least hesiUition. "It Intends wliich will ay the niKt, f:r we are pjor. There arc others, too, so there is no hum-. Thev are at mv K-ck and -ill." She croked her forefinger and iiikI dtl her head as if beckoning to some one. Tor sheer light-hearted, innocent enjoyment of her own attraction I never saw the equal of that face. I should have made my fortune if I could have painted it there in the blazing sunlight, framed in flowers; but it was too much for me. Therefore I asked her to move to the right, further along the pronionotory, so that I 0011M put her iii the foreground of a picture I had already lvgun. "There, by that first clump of iris," I said, fciuting to a patch of green sword leaves, where the white lilac blossoms were la-ginning to show. She gave a jiertvptible. shudder. "What? Sit on a grave! Not I. D k-s Hot the Huzoor know that those are graves? It is true. All our people are buried here. We plant the iris over them always. If you ask why I know not. It is the tower of death. A sudden determination to taint her the flowerful life against the tinwcrful death, completely obliterated the knowledge of my own inconiH-tence; but I urged and briln-d in vain. I'hooli jan would nttt stir. She would not even let me pick a handful of the flowers for her to hold. It was un lucky; liesides, one never knew what one might find in the thickets of leaves hones and horrid things. Had I never heard that dead people got tired of their graves and tried to get out, or even if they only wanted something in their graves tliey would stretch forth a hand to get it? That w as one reason why x-ople covered them up with flower just to make them more con tented. The idea of stooping to cull a flower and shaking hamLs with a corpse was distinctly unpleasant, even in sunlight, S' I gave up the toint and liegan to sketch the girl as she sat. K tther a difficult task, for she chattered inces santly. Did I see that thin, blue t 'tread of smoke in the dark tall of pine trees covering the bottom of the valley? That was Jobw's fire. I le was drying orris root for the maharajab. There, 011 the opxsite murg, where the buffaloes showed dark among the flowers was Cliuchchu's hut. Un doubtedly, Chuchchu was the richer, but (Joloo could climb like an i!ex. It was he whom the Huzoor was going to take as a guide to the peak. He could 1 daae.'. too. The Huzoor should see liiiu damv the circle dance round the fire no one 'urned so slow ly as (Joloo. j II? would uot frighten a young lamb, t xeept w hou he was angry well, ji al ous if the Huzoor thought that was U-ttcr. P.y the time she was done chattering there was not a petal left on the ox eyed daisies, and I was divided le tween pity and envy toward Joloo and Chuchchu. Tiiat evening, as usual, I sat my painting to dry on the easel at the door of the tent. A I I tunged by t he camp fire, smoking my pij', a t'te young man, coming in with a jar of buffalo milk 011 his shoulders and a big bunch of red rhod'leiidron tiehind his ear, stopped and grinned at my caricature of l'h.x.Ii-jan. Five minutes after, down by the servants' encampment, I hea'd a free fight going on, and stroll ed over to see w hat was the matter. After the manner of Kashmiri quar rels, it had ended alniist as it began; for the race love eaoe. That it had so elided was not, however, I saw at a glance, t lie fault of the smaller of the antagonists, who was being forcibly held Kick by my Shikari. "Chuchchu, that man there, wauled to charge (Johxt, this man here, the same price for milk as he dics your honor," explained the Shikari elabor ately. "That was extortionate, even though (Joloo, U-ing the Huzoor guide for to-iiiormw, may be said to be your honors servant for the time. I have settled the matter justly. The Huzoor need not give thought to it." I 1. Hiked at the two recipients of Phxili-jaii's favor with interest for that the bunches of red rhododendron they loth wore were her gift I did not doubt They were Intth fine young men, but (Joloo distinctly the better looking tf the two, if a trifle sinister. Despite the recommendation of my Shikari to cast thought aside, the inci dent lingered in my memory, and I mentioned it to I'hooli-jan when, on returning to finish my sketch, I found her waiting for me among the flowers. Her smite was more brilliant than ever. "They will not hurt each other," she saiL "Chuchchu know that (Joloo is more active and (Joloo knows that Chu.-hchu L stronger. It is like the dogs of our village." "I was not thinking of them," I re plied. "I was thinking of you. Siis posing they were to quarrel w ith you?" She laughed. "They will not quar rel. In summer time there are plenty of flowers for everybody." I thought of those red rhododen drons, and could not repr.-ss a smile Jat her tiare-faced wisdom of the serpent "Ami in the winter time?" "Then I will marry one of them, or some tine. I have only to choose. That is ail. They are at my K-ck and call." Three years passed ttefore recurring leave enabled me to pay another visit to the murg. The rhododendrons were once more out on the uplands, and as I turned the last corner of the pine set path which threaded its way through the defile, I saw the meadow liefore me, with its ni'isaie of flowers bright as ever. The memory of I'hooli-jan came Kick to me as she had sat in the sunshine nodding and beckoning. "Phooli-jan?" echoed the old patri arch, who came out to welcome me as T crossed the plank bridge to the vil lage, "Phooli-jan, the herd girl? Hu- zoo, she is dead; she died from ticking flowers. A vain thi.ig. It was at the turn Iteyond the murg, Huzoor, half way between Chuchu's hut and Colons drying stage. There is a big rhodo dendron tree hanging over the dill', and she fell down. It must Ik- three years gone." Three years; then it must of hapicii ed almost immediately after I left the valley. The idea iqiset me; I knew not why. It scented to dim the sun shine. Tiie murg without that flower ful life nod ling and beckoning felt empty. I was glad that I had arrang ed not to remain there for the night, but to tush on to another meadow, some six miles further up the river. To do so, however, I required a fresh relay of coolies, and while my Shikari was arranging for this in the village I made my way by a cross-cut to the promontory, with its patches of iris. Deaths are rare in those small com munities, and there were but two or three new graves all but one to re cent to lie nior 1'hooli-jan's. That, then must tie hers, with it- still clearly defined oblong of iris, already a mass of tale purple and white. I sat down 0:1 a r-tck, and begin, 1111 romantieally to eat my lunch, finish ing up with a tull at my ;l:ik, and thus providentially fortified, I stoojk-d, ere leaving, to pick one or two of the h!os-ims from the grave, intending to plant them round the sketch of the girl's head which I had with me. Creat heavens! what was th;:t I turned positively sick with horror and d mot. Was i; a hand. It was some time Ik-fore I c.tuld forci? myself to set aside the sheathing leaves and settle the point. Stmething it was something which, even as I parted the stems, fell to pieces, as the skeleton of a tt.vkoniisg hand might have done. I did not stay to s-e more; I let the flow ers close in over it whatever it was and m-idj mv w.iv back to the village. My baggage, having changed shoul ders, was streaming out over the dank bridge again, and in the two first Itcar- ers, carrying mye k rj:n piNa.il tans, I K-eogniz-.il Coloo and Chuch chu. They had Utth gptwn stouter, and wore huge bunches of red rhodo dendrons tiehind their ears. I found out, on inquiry, that they were both married and had lx-come bosom friends. I have not seen the tunjuois set in diamonds since, but I often think of it, and wonder what it was I saw among the iris. And then I seem to see I'hois-li-jan sitting among the flowers, nod ding her head and saying: "They are at mv lieck and call." If I were (Joloo or Chuchchu, I would lie buried somewhere else. Too Tempting. Colonel Corkscrieugh, of Kentucky, was a dignified citizen, with a bloom ing red nose, and, while he had his weakness, he was held to tie scrupu lously honest.

Yes, I understand ; but this is not drug store whiskey ; it's genuine thirty vear-old stuff. The colonel's eyes shone. The man took the demijohn out. and the colonel inspected it carefully and satisfied himself that it was as represented, then he set it down 011 the flxr.

Prom the Kan Kranriseo Examiner. Anton Sweitzke, a bee raiser, came into Los Angeles from Sehunga canon, just north of this city, yesterday with the skin of a grizzly ttear, which he had killed a few days liefore after a thrilling encounter. Skin measur ing fully twelve feet long, and has the paw s attached, each of which meas ures five by ten inches, showing the enormous size of the big beast He weighed over one thousand xiunds. Sweitzke owns a little bee ranch up in the canon of Tchunga, one of those otcii'mgs in the mountain range which shows itself hist attove San Fernando, lie kecjs a hundred or more stands of bees, fpim which ordinarily he derives his living. One morning recently he went to attend his bees and found a couple of hives overturned and the bees in the wildest commotion. One glance sufficed to show that a thief had been there and had robbed his bees of their honey during "he night, and the tracks in the ground showed that the thief was a bear of enormous size. Sweitzke says that had he known it was a grizzly ltear he would have pick ed up his camp and moved or let the liear have what was left He supposed the ltear to lie of the ordinary brown variety, which are easily put to flight if not killed, and he determined to kill the liear. Sweitzke, after the first assault, stood watch nightly with his rifle, but the ltear did not make his apearance. The watcher was lieginning to think of giving up his vigilance three nights ago, and had returned to his cabin, when he heard something approach ing from the opwsite side of the can on. He kept out tf sight and awaited developments. Almost liefore he could realize it the luttr w as within liW feet of him. Without ado, the ltear knocked over a hive and reached for the contents. "You may laugh, but do you know that the ltear looked as hij,- as an ele phant to me when I finally got a good look at him?" said Sweitzke, when he told about his encounter. He did not lose any time, however, iu trying a shot at the liear, for the loss of his honey made him angry. The first bullet, which was from a 4-J.Oo cart ridge, made the liear cease his feast. The animal whirled around with a grow l of rage and started for the lee keepe r. It took tint a few jumps liefore another shot was sent after the first, with the effect that it seemed to mo mentarily check the bear's progress. It was only for a moment, however, for the next second the lieast was with in ten feet of Sweitzke and in an up right stsitioii, with paws raised, mouth wide ojicn and in a frenzy of rage. Sweitzke said that he knew if he turned to run he was lot, as he could not reach cover in time to save him self. His only course was to make the next bullet find some vital toint, and then if it was a case of hand-to-hand struggle lie would fight it out to the last. He said he can yet see the fright ful fangs an.l the big scarlet tongue of the ttetist, with its ears laid flat ami its eyes glowing, as ii advanced snarling and growling. The K-ar was just with in reaching distance when Sweitzke pulled the trigger. The liear staggered then fi 11 and liegan a struggle to regain his feet. Hut the wound was fatal, The liear had to give up, but in its struggle, even at the last, it tore up the ground in all directions. When the animal was skinned three bullets liesides Sweitzke's were found imliedded in the skin, showing that s tiiie other hunter had taken a shot, prolijihly from safe distance, at the ltear in the past All of his own bul lets had taken effect in vital parts, the last one K-netrating the heart. He was a monster, and, although Sweitz ke has seen many ttears and had many encounters, this one was the largest he had ever seen in southern California. He will never tackle another grizzly, he :jys, without he is in a good, safe Ktsition. Had his last bullet failed to reach the exact spot, or had his nerve d'-scrb-d him just as the bear was reaching for him, he would be a dead man. Local Institute.

In Hungary at one time the groom gave the bride a kick for the same purjtose during the wedding eci iiKtny. JIorseKick weddings, where gritom and bride ride at full stccd away from their pursuing attendants, are still sometimes seen iu Tartnry. Among the ISoriico hend-hunters a young man, in tiff-ring marriage to a young woman, had to present her with the head of a man killed by him self. Tournefort says that among Creek rustics to-day the bride and groom run the gauntlet of young folks of their acquaintance, who kick and cull' them as they pass. A I toman bride was lifted by her husband at the threshold of his home and carried across it, proliably sym liolizing the great day when s m my of tin young It vii ins carried home stolen brides. I:i some old houses in Holland are thvirs which were in former" days never uyj exept for weddings and funerals. After a bride and groom had passed, the door was nailed up until another newly wed or newly lead approached to pass that way. Among the North American resi dents a wedding is usually preceded by what Ls called a "bachelor blow out," at which much liquor is con sumed by the groom expectant and his friends.
