Shooting an Alligator.

The oars were stopped, resting in
the water; the skiff half turned, drift
ing in the sluggish tide; the long beam
of the lantern, with its oval disk of dim
light resting far out on the surface,
swept slowly around over the waters
looking for the two lost lights. Ten
minutes or more thus passed, and sud-
denly the two lost sparks cleaned
back in a new direction. A gentle,
noiseless push on the port oar headed
the skitf toward them again. 'Douce-
mentr whispered Paul. His associate,
still more gently guided the boat to
the left, till only one light shoue from
the obscure object in the water. This
showed that he had got on its side, as
was desired, because a forward shot
always glances. Cautiously the silent
oarsman again turned his craft to the
right. Paul raised his long rifle ready
to fire. The disk of the lantern on the
water, contracting gradually, grew
proportionately more brilliant. As it
contracted the solitary light shining
back on the water from its center be-
came larger and brighter, till at last
the eye of the great saurian glittered
as if he had the "Koh-i-noor" itself in
his head. Slowly, silently, nearer the
boat moved, till within ten yards of
the reptile. The glow of the lantern
flashed along the barrel of the rife for
few seconds; then came the ringing
report. The light on the water in
stantly went out, and the glow of the
lantern. now shining in circle only a
few feet in diameter over the place
where it disappeared, showed only a
few foamy bubbles and little whirl-
pools. Thirty seconds passed in silence;
then an immense dark form bounded
from the depths below above the sur
face of the water, and. rolling over on
its back, showed the broad, yellow
white belly of an enormous alligator.
| The shuddering reptile remained other
wise motionless for a few minutes;
then, spasmodically stretching and
stiffening its ugly legs and feet, and
leaping half its length in the air. fell
back again. beating the water with its
tail in blows sounding as loud as the
report of the weapon which had slain
him. Moi tue H." muttered Paul
in an accent of quiet triumph. His
associate after few exclamations of
more voluble admiration, rolled
another cigarette, and quietly turned
his boat off in search of other game. In
few hours of this hunting five alliga-
tors were sEpt.-A1sd1eaO W9ikinsOn, IN
