was leveled at the poor painting beast
to punish him for his faithfulncss, but
better impulse saved him. No more
work for that day. We slept on the
spot. In the morning we secured Nero
moro firmly and started out again.
After two hours perilous walking we
again sighted the same herd. We came
upon them unexpectedly in n patch of
small scrub three hundred feet away on
the side of precipice that ran down
to sparkling cascade. The scrub pre-

after the goats was a matter Of much
discussion. Finally it was agreed upon
to leave them tied up at the tent.
Early in the following morning they
set out and soon found that a herd of
goats had lately been near their last
camp. They fastened on in pursuit
through u wild, weird country. Some
times they struggled through q dense
forest with thick underwood that great
ly impeded their advance and tore their
stout buckskin clothing into shreds.
Low-growing, beautiful ferns, rough.
gigantic brakes and millions of para
sitical plants with white and red how-
ers surrounded them on every side,
while n hundred singing birds warblcd
and fitted merrily from tree to tree.
Then again they would be forced to
creep on hands and knees over and I'M
der immense powders, or, with the
greatest difficulty, to round craggy
precipice, where the slightest giddiness
meant horrible death in the c1asIn
that waited silently below to destroy
the men who had dared to tempt its cru
city.
But suddenly dangers were forgotten,
for beyond n sharp turn, and about
half mile away, herd of goats was
seen lazily picking up little food or
chewing their cuds: several little kids
gambo!ed about in the hcyday of youth
and carelessncss, while n noble speci-
men of buck stood contemplating his
kingdom. Approaching wariiy under
shelter of trees or rocks. and against
the wind, we could see that he was a
magnificent creature, standing over
four feet high. with colossal ringcd
horns of about twenty inches in length;
his beard was only few inches from
the ground, and straggly black and
white coat of long hair gave him
formidable appearance and made him
look much larger than he really was.
Our eyes watcred with delight as we
took stock of him, and each mentally
determined to secure the prize. AS we
came slowly nearer and nearer the

what could it be? Look! they are scared
