Il I saw on the rounded top of one of the
giant cactus with which these deserts
are thickly studded an eagle the like of
which, though familiar with the fowls
Of that region, / had never before seen;
And / may here add that we never did
with any certainty discover the species
to which she belonged. I rode near to
get better view, but she desired no
closer acquaintance; for, after unfold
ing her wings once or twice in hest
tating sort of manner MS I approached,
she finally spread them and few heav-
lily away, a couple of pistol shots from
the wagon having only the effect Of in
creasing her speed. The cactus on
which she had been resting was a very
fair sample Of the largest variety in
the world of that interesting plant.

rose straight from the ground, a beau
.tiful huted column of vivid apple green,
to height of Is feet, where cluster of
branches nearly as thick as the parent
stem grew out from IT and turned up
ward, while the main trunk, without a
bend, rose several feet higher. *
Between two of these branches and
the trunk there was built a nest of good
sized sticks, about twice as large as d
bushel basket; and on this my eyes
happened to be resting when the noise
Of the shots brought above its edge a
little head covered with grayish- yellow
fuzz, out of which peered two big
round eyes with an air of anxious in

In that desert country, far. from rail-

in the big permanent camp miles away
served in no small measure to amuse

our young friend of, the cactus. But
how to get him down was a problem.
