over me. 4 lady near where |
lived had sent a little native boy
with letter to n friend at
some little distance, with the request 10
send back q reply. Being trustworthy
little fellow some surprise was felt when
he did not return after a reasonable alb
sence. After waiting several hours with
ne sign Of tho messenger. a marching
party, of which ! was a member. was
made up to try to discover his wherea-
bouts. After securing the country for
some time We came TO the river bank
and short distance away saw q dead
alligator lying on the shore with its
great jaws extended to their utmost.
On examining il to discover the cause
OF so strange an appearance We
found TO our horror that IL had devoured
the missing hoy and had attempted to
swallow his head whole. This, however,
il was unable to do and had been suiro.
Gated In the attempt. The boys head was
still covered by his turban, which, when
removed, disclosed the answer to his mis-.

attempting 10 swim the river he had been
selzed by the alligator, as these huge rep

on the street by an old colored man
who for a long time was in the serv-

be married, Mr.. George2" Yes,
expect that happy event will take
place next month" the east ender
replied. We'll, well" repeated the
old man, who'd s'pected it2'' Then
he added rehectively, Mr.. George,
do you think marriage is a failurel'
