The panther really had the worst of it,
but Mat was growing weaker and weaker
every N oment, and still the train shO wed no
signs OF stopping. As things were II 1t
would stop even for a moment he could
jump off and call for assistance.
AS the fight progressed the beast became
more and more enraged, and was becoming
almost frepZied in its onslaught. AS light
came Humphrey did better work, and few
OF his thrusts went near where he wanted
them. The beast showed signs of weak
ness in one attack, and that was Hum
phrey's salvation, because he was ready to
drop from exhaustion.
As the beast came forward slowly he
thrust for its head, but as il did not come as
fast as he calculated the fork went in front
of its nose few inches and passed down
and through the middle of its right fore
leg. The beast pulled back, but Humphrey
kept his fork straight, SO it could not get
off, and by great effort made downward
thrust and drove the prongS tightly into the
floor.
The panther was now captive and Fl UNI
pErey had chance TO breathe and get little
rest, although he had to keep tight hold on
the upper part OK the handle or the pan ther
would have pulled loose. Still he knew he
was about safe, because as soon as the train
stopped he would have plenty of time get
off and reach a secure spot.
The panther howled. and snarled, and
snapped with rage. but could not get near

Humphrey did not know where he was,
but as he was close to the door, made
jump the instant the wheels stopped re-
volving. He was very weak ara almost
fell to the ground. but in q moment had
seen the station lights and started for them.
The beast got away much easier than he
expected, and but for the assistance that
was at hand would have made an end Of

take your tumbler of tea with slice of

Association Game to Be Played at San
Jose To-Day,

Jose l0-Day.
The weather on Sunday last was very
prupitous for outdoor games. and the aSso-
citation players were out in strong force to
indulge in their favorite pastime
The game between the Thistles and Gran
ties at Central Park did not take place, the
latter team falling 10 materiaize.
The Granite team has got so badly demon
allied by the absence of six of the best
players from the city that they may now be
considered out of the race fer the trophy
this season.
The game between the Rangers and
ROyers proved a good contest, the boys
with tie blue stripes winning handily by
goals to l.
The Rangers are showing considerable
Improvement, and their great desire now
is to defeat the 0aklands. which team they
meet on the 50th inst. and in advance of
the contest they are putting in consider
able practice every night at Central Park.
The Rovers have been unfortunate dur
ing the whole season by the constant intro
duction of new players into their team,
which destroys the effectiveness of their
combination ana prevents the perfection of
team work, so essential TO success in the
association game.
The final tie for the English Association
champion ship cup was played at the Man
chester Athletic Club grounds, Tallowfield.
on March 25, the fnalists being the EYertOn
and Nolverhampton Wanderers.
The game excited intense interest in Eng
land, and fully 10000 spectators witnessed
the contest, the game ending, after a bitter
struggle, in favor Of the WOlverhampton
team by the close score of goal to nil.
The Fort Mason Association team paid
visit TO Angel Island to contest with the
football team on the island, and after
hard contest the Fort Masonites captured
the game by goals to 1.
The second Fort Mason team visited the
Preside TO try conclusions with a picked
eleven of the reservation, and alter a very
even game draw resulted.
The various branches of the army here
are taking a keen interest in the association
game. and the Fort Mason team will take a
leading part next season IN the Association
League competitions.
The Association League will transfer the
scene of their activity to San Jose to-day a
holiday having been declared to permit the
various teams 10 visit San Jose to witness
the game between the Thistles aud Wan
derers.
Both teams have been training hard for
the event, and a fine exhibition of the asso-
citation game will result.
The international Association football
contest between Ireland and Scotland was
decided at Glasgow on March %, the game
resulting 10 win for the Scotchmen by

1.-THE most expert swimmers ever saw in
my life are the Arablans who dwell on the
seacoasi," said w. G. Motley at the Grace
Hotel.
when there are ships lying al anchor off
the coast the natives sw i'm about the ships
for hours with scarcely a moments rest.
They are as much at home in the water as
we are on the land, and they have the ag-
lty OF flsh. The passengers often amuse
themselves by throwing copper or silver
coins into tho water for the swimmers to
dive after. and their skill In capturing the
money is simply marvellous.
You may hurl the coin with all your
strength as Tar from the ship as possible
but the Arab is after it like flash. Darling
through the water like an arrow, he has the
money before 1t has sunk many feet into
the water. He invariably gets the money,
never missing single attempt.
often the swimmers Chamber on board
the boat and endeavor to turn an honest
penny by entertaining the passengers in one
way or another. Some of them are pres
tidigitaiors of no mean ability, and often
their ght-of-hand performances are ex-,
ceedingly clever. l remember one instance
in particular in which an Arabian magician

closed his hand, without moving its posi-

Innocence of the Eye.

Painters cultivate what is called the sin
nocence OF the eye" trying to see nature
simply as forms and color, as child sees it,
without reference to what reason and ex-
perience may teach them, No two of them
see exactly the same way. One painter in
New York says that he is astonished to find
how gray everything is-even sky and
foliage. Another fluids the streets full Of
reds ana puppies. A younger artist says:
when | began to paint everything seemed
TO me dark. The longer l look at nature
the more light ! find in it, My great
trouble now is to get my pictures light as
nature seems to my eye. l find more yellow
in the landscape than l used to. But after
all, these things are subjective, and a man
paints what is inside OF his head, not what
lie sees outside of it."

are very easily turning their thoughts
in another direction and putting all their
pretty gee-gaws in their hair. And that
theater presents a pretty spectacle every
evening as one gaZes at the fanciful ar
rangements. 1t will, no doubt, soon be-
come a fad, and then the bonnet
will get bat SCapty attention. Just now,
however, one made of golden spangles
closely strung is the proper thing, with
small bunch of black tips in front. and
black velvet strings.
The evening cloak grows no less as
sertive and magnificent. In fact, there is
something almost insolent in its manner
of appearing. Here, for example, is a
long cape Of pale blue brocade, very
thickly and heavily embroidered. 1t is
lined with rose silk, and edged down in
front with the thickest white feather
trimming one can possibly find.
The shoulders have the queerest
wrap, and above them is a great ruche of
blue. so large that it rests upon the
shoulder puffs in its way around. Then
above this ruche is another band of the
feather trimming. 1t is difficult to get
into the garment, there is so much about
the neck. The feathers reach fully to the
ears. and threaten to prevent ones vision
when the wind blows fiercely.
But saw one sensible coat today, and
it was quite a relief TO look upon it. with
the quiet dark-blue vIgogne neatly bor-
dered with black silk chenille trimming.
Pretty triple cord ornaments fastened it at
the side. where il opened. and also hung
from the tight-fitting undersleeve. 1t had
moderately pulled shoulders and plain
high collar. EVA A. SCHUBERT.
