she saw him and she saw my clothes,
and the notion that l was drowned
II could see it in her expressive
countenance) flashed upon her at
once; for one instant she looked as
though about to faint, and the next
she sped off again to the hotel with
the speed of q deer. Gracious
Heavensi Z decided upon rescuing
a portion of my garments at least, or.
upon perising in the attempt, and
rushed out of the thicket for the
purpose; but my courage failed me
as L neared the savage animal, and l
found myself in some confused and
palpitating manner back in my dry
ditch again with the sensation OF a
loss of blood and pain; my retreat
had not been effected--pcrhaps, be-
cause there was nothing to cover 1t
without considerable loss, and the
beast had bitten me severely, L
protest that, from that moment,
frightful as my position was, it did
not move me so much as the rcflec-
ton of the honors that would be
showered down on that vile creature.

/ by Lucy and the rest as sort OF dog
of Montargis, an affectionate and sa-
gacious creature, watching patiently
at his appointed poet for the beloved
master that should never again re-
turn to him. Presently they all
came back, Lucy and her mother and
all the maid servants from the inn,
besides my fellow students and fish-
ermen with drag nets, and a medical
man with blankets and brandy (how
envied the blankets and the bran

women's cries nor the mems labor

as the patting and caressing Of Tow

siderable quantity of human flesh

his stomach in an undigested state.

into the copse with blanket ] re-
member nothing more distinctly.
Immediately peals of laughter, now
smothered, now breaking irrepressi-
bly, forth; expressions Of thankful
ness, of affection, of sympathy begin
ning-but never finished-bCrst in
upon, as it were, by floods of merri-
ment; and the barking, the eternal
barking, of that execrable dog. Ileft

Coon Fighting I'm Kentucky.

A coon fight is one OF the glorles
of life in Kentucky, The pro-
gramme is this: Some one announ-
ces to the gentlemen planters of an
extended neighbordood that he will
give barbecue and coon fight on a
certain day, at such a place, and they
are invited to bring themselves.
their friends and their dogs, for his
coon is veteran; and will make a
big fight This brings large gath
ering of men and dogs to enjoy the
feast and fight. The coon is placed
in a barrel with one head out, laid
fiat, so that he cannot be taken on the
flank or rear, and the dog that brings
out the coon--and it takes one of
pluck to do that-wins the bet. On
the occasion to be described, large
party assembled with numerous fine
dogs eager for the fray. The sport
began-but every dog of the party
was whipped out by the sharp claws
and teeth Of the gallant coon. AS a
matter of course, there was a clamor
and tough swearing at the result.
There was a seedy Yankee present;
looking on with grin of delight, as
each defeated dog gave up the battle.
He had with him miserable yellow
cur. which was snealsing about with
its tail between its legs, swapping and
shying at every dog that offered to-
kens of friendly introduction. In tie
midst of the uproar, Yankee quietly
remarked:
"Wal, gentlemen, / think / have
got dog that can bring 'eout that
ere COON"
"Where is he? Where is hei
Bring him out" shouted q score OF
witnesses.
"Thair he isl" pointing to the mis-
cradle cur.
There was general laugh, and
immediate offers of bets in any guam
tity.
oval, gentlemen, hain't got
much money, but here's my watch
and three dollars. That ere watch
is lcetle old, but it's an alfred
nice time keeper"
"I'll bet you ten dollars against
your watch and money"
"Wal, | guess that's about fair
I'll do it."
After great deal of coaxing and
pulling, the mongrel was hauled close
to the mouth of the barrel. The
Yankee, after patting and calling his
dog pet names for minute, suddenly
seized him, and thrust him into tie
barrel, stern first. The next instant
with an agonized yelp, out came the
dog-and out came the coon, too
fastened by tooth and claw to the
launches Of the fleeing dog. The
screams that followed may not bs
described.
81 guess I'll take that ere money
and WATCH" quietly remarked Lr
Yankee, and he took them.
The loser, with scowl, by way o
self comfort, observed: -
