1'iowerful life; truly that was hers.
She h:l a great lium-h of warlet rho.1
o.lendr.Hl stuck Wind lier:ir, match
ing the t-losh e;ij jvre'.H".! jatnitly oa
her head, and as s'.il' sil herding their
liUlHi'.oes 011 the upland she had
threaded. chaji'.ot on fhap'.et of ox-eyed
laisies, and hung the;ii ahout iter
wherever they mid le hung. The
result was distin. -lly l'owerful: her face
als- distinctly pretty, distinctly clean
for a Kashmiri girl's. lV.it e xi.ictte,
llirt, minx, was written in every line
of it, and ace (tinted for a iititst unusual
neatness and lirightncUs.
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.

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.

One little by forgot this distinction
the other day and remained blissfully
happy in consequence. It was at a
traveling circus at Patchoguc, L. I.,
oneof th'tseone-night stands where they
till out the show by an act or two of
local effort, running, bowling or spar

have time to 1 cleared after the ter

from all sides spurred him on to excited

How They Get Married.
In Java the bride washes the
groom's feet as a token of subjec
tion. 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. Titis is one of the most
curious customs known to ethnolo
gists. Missing Link.

el. One day I slopped to make a few
inquiries, though it was no p.triii tt'ar
business of mine whether school kept
or not.
"I'ihhI morning," said I, "how are
you getting along with your school?"
'"Bout as well as covM l-e cxpi-ctcd,
I recokon," he replied, dropping his
Uftk i:i his lap, us if glad of:ith:;nge
in his entertainment.
"How many scholars have you ?"
'Twenty or twenty-five, I reckon."
"What kind of scholars art? they?"
"Boys and girls," he answered in a
tone of mild surpris.-.
"I luea'l use t!l -y g! i.l scholars."
(Jood a t could ite cTKv!,-d, I reck

"'Tis mostly, I reckon," he said in
ditl'erently. "I don't see how you can teach them
much with so little time in school."
"I don't, I reckon."
"But, shouldn't you?"
"This question ..ci.icS todi.-turb him
and he riss' to his feet and came to
where I sat on my horse.
"That's a question I've Ut n waniin'
settled a long time," he said slowly,
"and I'm going to leave it to you.
You see it's this way : The school fund
