called, where you are either crawling
like a snake on gIoYeling like a rated
spaniel. Now you are grinding on your
buttons against the irregularities OF i'm
practicable stones. Now you are max
ing d rush between hIllock and hillock,
bent nearly double, while the head OF
the sentinel hind happens to be turned
in the opposite direction.
You know nevertheless. that d
may sight you at any moment, or that
some treacherous air current may
give her your wind, il which case all
your labors have been thrown away.
Or perhaps your lines of painful ap-
proach may have fallen in the broken
bed Of a mountain burn, and then all
the crawling and the crouching have to
be done with the cold water running in
at the neck Of your shirt and hlterigg
out at the knees Of your knickerbock
ers. Surmounting these trials and vic
issitudes successfully you may congrat-
ulate yourself when you find yourself
safely ensconeed within sixty or eighty
yards Of tho deeI.
IL is then that the keeper may be
thrusting the rife into your hand, urg
ing you TO shoot, 1t is then you will do
we'll to assert your independence. In
the drst place you have been overhead
ed, oyerstrained, aud then soaked; so
it is next to impossible that the pulses
can be beating quietly, or that even by
the aid of some convenient slab Of stone
you a make sure of steadylng the
rifle. In the next place, as we have
imagined the deer lying down, 1t is pos
sible he may offer but a doubtful mark.
Yet undue delay will be dangerous, as
well as irritating to the nerves. Each
feeting minute Is pregnant with hope
or possible incident. Luck may be
friend you, the stag may stretch him
self and get up, OF a low whistle may
at last be necessary, which Will land
him at onc on his legs, when he will
stand stationary and listening for a
moment. Then, as the bullet goes home
with a thud behind the shoulder, you
know that all your labors are repaid;
should you shoot wild and miss OF
merely MAIN him your first idea is
instantaneous suicide.

Late at night L drove with my courisT
outside tue city to the cemetery, Ut,
Pierre, to see the burialof three cholera
patients whom l had observed In Fharo
Hospital in the afternoon. The route
led through the poor quarter, and at
| every corner bonfres were blazing to
purify ths air. The whole population
was sitting out on the steps OF tenemsnts
or on church porches enjoying the fires
and the currents of air produced by
them. The country road beyond the
barriers brought US to the gates OF the
cemetery. when the polite concierge,
who was potter still for ST., led US
walking down a spacious road, lighted
here and there by lanterns lying on the
ground, to u place just back from where
we had been and where the Dight's
burials were to take place. Soon the
drst of the hearses appeared then fol
| lowed the others. After q brief burial
service lntoned by d pale young priest,
who looked badly scared, three boxes
were hurTiedly lowered into a e
eight feet deep by twenty feet loug and
q goodly quantity of lime shoveled on
top. 1t was a CHASTITY trench, and there
was plenty of room for more cOfins.
1t was a weird ahd saddening sight.
There stood the blanch-faced priest,
intent on bis holy calling, surrounded
nv a raos oP awart hare -nhaStad hTi-
gandish-looking laborers, who bore the
somber coffins. For = background
there stood the tall white houses. The
dead still wore their tawdry trinkets,
and the whole was lighted up as in 4
picture by Rembrandt by the htfui
glare of three lanterns. Those gaping
trenches were big enough to hold their
thousands. A concierge showed me =
burial permit. Across the face of tbs
document was written "Cholera-
urgent" and there was a requlsition
for some disinfectant. l went back to
the central part of the city, and 1t was
gay enough. Bands were playing and
cafe lamps were cleaning. People in
throngs we're walking in the streets
laughing merrily, and many heads were
| poked out of the Window Of the houses.
1t was hard for ule 10 believe that | had
Just visited the aasslsels, and had sit

The Penn's Grove record., 1884-10-04

A days stalking, from the begin
ming to the end, is full of incident and
excitement. The highest hopes may be
dashed by sudden disappointment, and
there are perpetual slips between the
cup and the lip. 1t is so much the bet
ter when tolls have been crowned by
success, and the stag round which your
manoevers have been concentrating
themselves, at last, in his magnificent
proportions, is lying dead at your feet,
First comes the finding OF the deer.
Time after time your trusty stag may
have been driven into the hillside and
the telescope steadied against it, Time
after time the wild landscape may have
been swept in vain. After the closest
examination of each rock and patch Of
heather there has not been a glimpse of
hide or horns. Then all at once, and
perhaps where yon least expected it,
you have seen the little herd of deer
feeding, unsuspicious of danger.
There is a heavy stag, We may sup
pose, with a respectable head, and on
him you set your affections. But he is
surrounded by a small seragllo of binds,
II OF TWO of them having been told OFF
upon sentinel duty. Sinking down
upon the heather, crawling back be-
hind the nearest cover, you hold quick
but anxious consultation as to the cir
eunventing him. A great circuit has
to be made before you can creep down
upon him against the wind. Taking
the bearings Of the herd by certain
landmarks on the sky line, you start
away upon the long detour. You have
already done considerable walking in
the course Of your peregrinatlons; but ii
is now that strength and breath are
tasked, or, rather, they would be tasked
were 1t not for the excitement. The
sineNy keeper steps out in most decep-
tive style, getting over the ground twice
as fast as YOU may fancy, You may
have to breast sundry stiff hills in sue.
LCeolOIl GIG lOaNhihS bhO ANoN POAhe VI
vantage, where you begin the critical
operations. There, where you hope
again to sight the deer, is a moment Of
intense expectation. They may have
shifted their ground by chance, or may
have tlken alarm and left altogether.
To your satisfaction you see that they
are much as they were, but the salts
faction is by no lean u~nmingled.
The stag is recumbent and ruminat,
ing So quietly that ii appears you might
almost step up and stroke him but ont
of the minds on duty is constitutlonaliy
restless, and it is her ceaseless vigilance
you have To elude. The approach is d
sharp descent down the hills, and thai
makes the task all the more difficult
Then it is that the red Indian Instinct:
Of the keeper are called into play. III
pioneers the path, il path it can b
