I bad not seen any large wild beast

a thin, sleepy-looking antinnl, such as

but at any rato I was not farther from
him than when we started. Now for
a spurt. I rode the next half-hour as
hurd as I could, but on ugaln looking
round, found I had not gained a yard.
Tho tiger was on my track, moving
with a long, swinging trot, and going
qtillo as quickly aa 1 was.
For the flrst time I began to feel
auxlous, and thought uneasily of tho
ten long miles which separated nut
from safety.
However, it was no good thinking
now ; it was my musole and iron stood
against the brute. I could only do my
best, and trust in Providonce.
Now thoro was no doubt about the
tiger's lutontlon; his blood was up,
and on ho came, occasionally giving
vent to a roar which made the ground
tremble. Auothor mile bad boen tra.
versed, and the brut was slowly but
surely closing up. I dashed my pouch
to tho ground, hoping it would
stop him fur few secouds; but ho
kept steadily on, and I folt it was then

be about seven mites from camp now,
and before I conld rido another four

Oh, the agony of those minutes, which
teemed like long hours I Auothor

right angles. The foliage bas been
trained to glow only at the extreme ends
of the tree's branches, where it spreads
out in thick tufts. An examination of
these strange trees show the infinite care
and patience which ha been expended
upon them. Every branch and twig
bas had a throttle upon it in the shape
of strings of fibrous bark. When too
much vigor has been demonstratsd in
one branch it has beeu tied dowo and its
circulation of sap improved. When a
limb bas grown too large an incision bas
been made in the bark and tbe woody
center cut away. Either from tbis or
from natural causes tbe cypres has de
cayed, presenting a hollow trunk. This
process of dwarfing trees is practiced
only in Japan, and the two specimens

tbe imperial gardens. Thirty-six cases
of plants bave been shipped from Japan
