For nn hour more I clung to the nn
romfortaide brunch and thought of the
temj ting cave. Then I grew desperate.
'iii. ro were no such yelps and howls rs
J had read of, "making night hideous."
'i hat Indian jungle whs almost as silent
i s a forest ut home. I came to the con
clusion that the stories I had rud were
nil nonsense, and dropping from the
branch, I picked up my saddle, made
my way to the cave, arranged the pil
low and mat, threw myself down, and
in no time was sound asleep.
For two or three times iu the night
I woke enough to change my position
und fall asleep again, but when the
mouth of the cave showed a faint gruy
ljht, suggesting thu approach of
morning, I woke suddenly, all over,
from Home sort of a dream, an i found
myself in a most uncomfortable state
of apprehension. In vain I tried to
convince myself that it was all the
rffect of the dream. I pinched myself
und turned and twisted the saddle, but
h11 to no purpose. Something or
other had given me such a thorough
fright that further sleep was iiupos
hiblrt. Worse yet, it was still frighten-,
iug Mt. I could not imagine that it
w anything at all, yet f felt my
courage steadily ebbing and cold
fhinws creeping i.p and down my
1 ark, in spiio of every energy of will I
could exert.
I could easily have seon if there had
been nuythiug between me and the
entrance, and as for whatever there
mi;ht be beyond me, it was sertaiuly
us sVill as death down there.
Hark! Was it still as death?
What tliit? I remembered to
have heard it for some time ever
h'Hcg I awoke and wondered why I
had not thought of it. It was a deep,
suit rumble, for ail the world like the
purring of a gigantic cat. A startling
regularity a!out it first attracted my
attention, and with a decided chill
came the conviction lint homothing
capable of making taut noise was
down in the darkness beyond me.
liy that time my imagination was
thoroughly aror.sed and my nerves so
completely uudi r its control that I was
in excellent sti-.te to collapse, and in-:
deed I did collapse, n moment later,
whon my eyes sought that blacknesr
rad suddenly rested npon two great
ytllow balls of glowing light down in
til j pitchy deptLs of the cave.

thoje eyes, it had nio r.t rare advan
tage, for it could doubtless see my
slightest motion r jarnst the light at
tho entrvnee, while all that I could ee
were those two bulls of yellow Cre.
It whb some timo before my senset
reached n reasonable state where I
ould trust them ; then to refresh t3
horror, I leeame convinced that the
eyes and the source of ihfit muftled
thunder were not ten feet away from
me.

F"I did aol cUre to Took a wy 7or an
Instant after I once discovered the)
whereabouts of 017 neighbor, but lay
there, with my face turned away from
the entrance, estimating the chances
of a leap out of the cave and a dash for
my horse, my rifle, or a tree. Reluc
tantly I came to the conclusion that if
the creature meant business, and did
not wish to part with me, the chances
in 017 favor would be about as many
s a mouse would have on a smooth
floor with a cat behind and no hole in
front. If not, I was doubtless as well
off there as anywhere, so I decided to
lie still and boo what would come of it.
Slowly it grew lighter, and little by
little a vague, huge outline appeared,
adnaUy assuming shape , ,nd color
till it developed into nothing less thr.n
a royal Bengal tiger, lying stretched
upon ine noor 01 me cave, wim no
great paws not six feet from my head, a
whiskered chin resting contentedly
upon them, and two bright eyes, sunk
deep in soft, thick fur. fixed steadily
on mine.
As an ounce of prevention I drew my ,
revolver very cautiously, under the
blanket, nd cocked it, that it misl,t
be ready for an emergfencv. The click
of the trigger startled her. I saw a
sudden flash in the yellow eyee that
were growing darker in the light, and
with a subtle and silent insinuation,
long, gleaming claws, as bright as
polished horn, nrotraded from the
massive paws under her chin,
"Aha I von treacherous beautr." I
said to myself, then suddenly paused
to think of the revolver wnder the
blanket, and wonder if, after all, she
were not quite as honorable about it
as I.
It was a long time before she moved
t all. Then very deliberately, and
with the most evident satisfaction, she
began to lick her bewbiskered lipe and
those two great paws. With a shut1.-
der of horror I noticed that they w.re
rovered with blood; Dot second
thought brought a certain -ainotir.i of
relief. That blood indicated thxt sue
hud recently eaten a hearty meal, and
accounted for any lack of appet'te. bo
far as I was concerned a state of
things which I earnestly prayed might
continue for some time to come.
blowly and sedately she accomplished
iimite.i toilet, then, witn a ion?, ancestry, ana mat it was ine rarm
icep sigh she pushed her fore paws ont er's daughter, a direct descendant of
it least a foot nearer to me, lifted her
hiunches from the ground, and in
dulged in one grand stretch, pougin
her claws deep into the hard bed of the
:uve, precisely as I had seen cab; do
the same thing over and over again.
She closed the operation by sitting
areet, and I felt justified in doing the
same.
A comical look of surprise crept over
her face as she watched me. Hhe hung
ier head ou one side, partially closing
one eye, then hung, it on the other
lide in a scrutiny that under some cir
cumstances would have been ludicrously
smusing.
Her curiosity was evidently aroused.
Cautiously she came a little nearer,
making my blood run cold. She sniffed
the blanket, poking it gently with her
paw. Anoth r step and the handsome
lead was within reach of my band.
Evidently she was not hungry, but
from pure curiosity bent upon Investi
gation, and if I could only have in
duced myself to let the morrow take
thought for the things of itself I could
have enjoyed the most remarkable op
portunity ever offered to mortal msn.
But the nose wan sniffing the saddle.
The jaws were within six inches of my
ribs. My heart was banging away
furiously. What would she do next?
I dared not fire, for if I did and failed
to kill her I should certainly be much .
worse off than at present. It was an
excellent opportunity, however, to test
the thickness of that fur npon her head,
ind without moving my hand more
than three, inches I touched it.
For an instant every muscle tight
ened and she stood stock still, evidently
!n doubt. I, toof was very seriously
in doubt, but the 'next moment she
teemed to realize that the sensation
as agreeable, and she began to purr
n a gigantic way that sounded like the
irst thunder of an August afternoon.
fSeeing that she enjoyed it I rubbed
t little harder, and when I ceased she
rolled her head under my hand, just
fter the fashion of a large cat a most
imiable companion of my boyhood. I
ncgnn to scratch in right good earnest,
ind in less than ten minutes had almost
forgotten my fear, while the revolver
lay upon the ground and I with both
hands wan giving that huge head a vig
orous dry shampoo. The fur was beauti
ful, thick and soft, and as clean as
though she had come from a Turkish
Oath.
Her eyes were soft and brown now
1 real velvet brown, The heavy lids
rogaa to i.roup over them, aud
looked up at me in the xno&t gentle,
loving way imaginable.
Slowly she sank npon the ground
beside me, and lower and lower the
shaggy head fell till it actually rested
upon my knee. For an instant a cold
chill crept over me as I realized the
s'tuation, and my hands involuntarily
drew back. The great eyes opened.
The purring ceased, and, giving ine
pent le poke with her nose, 6he warne J
me to begin again.
At last she was sound asleep, and by
tho slowest degrees Ieased the man
ipulation, and leaning back npon thi
saddle watching that sleeping beauty
with her head resting npon my knee.
Oh, she was magnificent I She wat
simply superb I I forgot that she wa
n tiger. I saw only a royal Bengal
beauty, and with a strange thrill ol
triumph realized that she had fallen in
love with me. She began to dream ol
tha forest. There was danger at hand.
A shiver shook her handsome coat.
Her tail swayed from side to side. A
deep, low growl sounded in her throat,
lul from the paws that almost touched
ms those gleaming claws protruded.
Aye ! she was a tiger after all. If she
was hungry when she awoke I should
lio her lunch. I took my revolver in
my right hand and pulf my left upon
her hend to quiet her till I could fire.
Ih-owsily she opened her eyes, looked
ic to mine, and with a sigh of relief
fell a.-Seep again. -.
It was too much. I laid the pistol
down and in horror confessed to my
self that I could not do it ; for I, too,
had fallen in love with the tiger. '
Again hhe dreamed. She movod nn
p?sily, opened her eyes, pricked up her
fars, anu snowed ner teeth in a way
that made me wish that X had fired the
pistol when I could. '-. . '
Suddenly she rose sank; back on her
haunches, tnrned half about, and with
nne sharp yell and bound disappeared
in the shadows far down the cave. A
moment later I saw the two balls of
yellow fire flashing there, and while I
waited, wondering what w-as coming
next, I caught the tramp of the Brit-
ish troops who were to pass that way,
and bidding farewell to the. beantifnl

APPLE-TWIG LIGHT.
There are two distinct forms of what
are called twig-blight in apple trees.
One is caused by minute insects boring
in the twigs, cutting and eating out
the soft pith, which causes the young
growtS) to suddenly wither and die,
the leaves usually remaining attached
to the twigs, appearing as though
scorched by heat ; hence the name of
"iire blight" in some localities. In the
other form of blight the cause is un
known, but it is supposed to be the re
sult of some disease of the sap, result
ing in a sudden check in the circula
tion. The diseased twigs should be
cut away and then gathered up and
burned for the purpose of destroying
any insects in them, as well as germs
of disease. This may not prevent the
appearance of blight the following
season, but it is thought to lessen its
destruotiveness. Xew York Sun.
CUBING CXOVEB HAT.
Clover hay is by all Odds the best
fodder for ewes, and the curing of it
in good condition is so often a failure
and yet so necessary that we give a few
hints founded on experience. For
sheep, especially ewes, it is important
to cut it green before it gets woo ay
and dry and the leaves begin to fall
o.t As soon as the first blossom in
the field can be seen to have turned
brown, or even begun to turn, it is time
to pet out the mower.
Still, it is always best to consult the
thermometer, and it is well to delay a
few days, if necessary, until the indi
cations are for a few days of settled
weather. If there is a fair promise of
spell of good weather, and help is
abundant, five or six acres may be cut
down at once. Let this be done in the
afternoon, so that the job will be done
hat the job will be d
before the dew falls. Dew on- top 1
e'ore the dew falls. Pew on-top of a
swarth is much more easily dried ont
than when it is sprinkled all through
it.
In the morning, as soon as the dew
is dried off, shake out the bunches at
the corners of the land and wamre the
machine has dragged the swath to
gether. A half day's steady sunshine
will wilt it sufficiently. Take a hand
ful of it and twist it ; if sap can be
wrung ont of it let it wilt a little
longer. Then rake into windrows,
driving around the land the same way
the mower went. If no rain threatens
it may lie in windrows the first night;
otherwise, make it in coeks as high as
a man's head and as slender as can be
made to stand.
All tbe subsequent curing should be
t'one in these cocks, either by turning
them neatly bottomside up or by
dividing them into two or three slices.
The preut point in clover hay is to
enre it without letting the sun shine
on it. The English Jarmers understand
better than we do the superior excel
lence of shade-cured hay. Colman's

HOW TO CULTIVATE WaTEB-CBESS. i.
Water-cress is a hardy perennial and
is easily grown, even where it doee
not grow naturally by planting along
the margins of ponds or streams,1
v.iiere it quickly increases both by
rereading of the roots and by seeding.j
It can best be cultivated where the
ttreams run through a level tract.
An old market gardener gives the
j following directions for making the
: beds : Supposing the stream is on the
' average a foot deep and from six to
: eight feet wide, running through a
meadow. A good plan for cultivation
is to make excavations laterally, say in
beds five feat wide (with alleys be
tween, five feet), to a depth of about.
Jei'ht inchep, or deep enough to be
flooded by the stream when it is of
j average height, or, when shallow, by
damming it up so as to flood the beds.'
1 The advantage of having the beds at
'right angles to the stream rather than
I parallel with it is that in the event of
freshets the crop is less liable to be.
washed away. The length and nnm-i
ber of beds must of course bo deter
mined by cirenmitanocs. !
I Water-cress seeds germinate freely;
in earth when kept saturated; hence)
the beds, when properly leveled and
pu'verized, should be slightly flooded
bguough to saturate the soil only when
the seeds germinate) ; for of conrse, if
the beds were filled np with water the
seeds would be washed off. After the
seedling have started so as to afiow
green the water may gradually be let
on as they develop.
Where water-cress is found growing
naturally the beds can be made by set
ting the plants six to twelve inches
apart each way. When the cultivation
is once begun there is no difficulty in
forming new beds, as the plants grew
very rapidly where proper conditions
are supplied.
If the plants are set ont or seeds
sown by the middle of August the beds
will be covered by November. The
streams being full in autumn the beds
will be fully flooded, so as to produce
the plants during the winter.
Nature is a true teacher ; the nearer
we can come to her teaching by exam
pie the nearer we will have perfect
plants. In the wild state water-crets
is always found growing best in clear,
shallow, slowly running water with a
sandy or gravelly bottom. Farm,

to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasls.
Tbe Pellet cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness. or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, "heartburn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little "Pellet " is a laxative, two are mildy
cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help.

It Is extremely improbable thai
ienius derives any peculiarly appro
priate nutriment from a fish diet,
und it is certain that genius gives no
thought to the subject. Mr. Carlyle
and Lord Tennyson smoked pipes
because they were men enough to
smoke pipes but we do not suppose
tbat cigarettes would have made a
decadent of Mr. Carlyle or an "im
pressionist" of Sir Joshua lieynolds.

A new explosive culled maximotr,
invented by Hudson Maxim, was tested
the other day in Hnrlem, New Yor'c
City. The inventor claims that oce
ounce of maximete is equal to one
pound of black powder, and that froio
ten to eleven ounces of the explosive
is equal in force to a pound of dyna
mite. The tests showed that the ex
plosive will not freeze, that it is smok.
less and does not ignite easily. Nine
hundred tons of roek were torn away
by a blast, and the amount of rnax:
mete used was only three-fourths as
much as would have been required by
the explosives usually employed iu
uarries. Four cartridges placed ia
lrill holes twenty feet deep were ex
ploded by electricity. The rock at
he bottom was shattered into small
tits, but near the surface the pieces
rere considerably larger. The wholo
nass shivered apart almost noiselessly
ind fell forward in a great heap.
A quantity of the maximete in a bot

together with a bottle of water. Thi

short work of one another. A battle
will last ten minutes. The fleets
will probably approach at the com

will be transformed by the loss or her
funnels and tbe destruction of the
superstructure aud upper works. The
rain of melinite shells which will be
poured from guns tiring smokeless
powder will wreck all parts of the
ship outside of the heavy a mor. In
ships where tbe bar. ettes are insuf
tlc.ently protected the explosion of
shells under them may bring them
down with their weight of 700 or HuO
tons. If once they give way the
armored deck cannot support them,
and they may be expected to go clean

their huge shells wi'l p obably, like
the explosion of a powder magazine,

hopeless chaos, destroying all her or

sists the blow, tbe shock to the ship
will be terrific: striking the tu. ret

Suddenly a dreadful sound met hit

narrow valley, through which ran the
tracks of a railroad. Tbe sound of
an approaching train was what made
young Williamson troub!e. He was
