A HORsE-HUNT.
| Prejudices were evidently none of the
Lieutenant's foibles, and l accepted an invi
! tatlon to witness mdtaRza of hash-mil
horses
! Including the three Mausers we had about
a dozen effective rifles, and the emergency
council decided to divide our force of marks
men into four squads and approach the
quarry from as many different sides.
| But on closer survey of the territory we
agreed that three detachments would be suf-
ticient. The cliffs on the northeast side of
the mountain pasture were steep enough to
| turn chamois, and if We could block the
three available gates of escape our game
could hardly fail to land in the puchero pot
Watch out, nOw,' said the Lieutenant
when we reached the outskirts of the meadow;
they are almost as wary as deer. Let old
LOnglegs 1.-THE cooks favorite) have the cover
of that bush, and the rest of us try to drive
them slowly in that direction. Don't scare
them more than you can help. Crouch fiat,
If they get fdgety, and be sure and don't
shoot unless you have sure thing"
We crept to our stations, but had hardly
begun to advance upon the common center
when one of the horses evinced misgivings
and looked, snOrting, in the direction of a
fallen tree, where he had probably heard the
cracking of q dead branch, or caught a
glimpse of an approaching foe.
According to agreement everybody lay low
Tor a few minutes, but the larger of the two
horses, stout old roam, continued to snort,
and presently broke into a trot, followed by
his more vaguely-alarmed companion. They
skirted the cliffs, then stopped reconnoiter-
ing, and the pony showed disposition to re-
commence grazing, when the roam suddenly
wheeled to the right and galloped straight for
the next shelter OF woods. and unfortunately
as straight away from the ambush of our
sharpshooter.
Three shots rang out in quick succession;
one of the horses had run through the center
OF the west side detachment, but both con-
tinued their lfe-and-death rush for the
woods, and seeing matters getting otherwise
hopeless old Longleg5 now rose on one knee
and bred his Mauser ut long range. The
pony plunged as if to kick off hornet,
then put on a squirt and passed the roam some
40 yards from the outskirts of the sheltering
forest, while the south side detachment came up
at double-quck in the hope of intercepting
at least one of the fugitiyes
But there was no need of hurry; the roam
had stopped, and shout went up from the
west side squad:
''Ya Sc tumba!" "We got him! he's
falling! shot through both shoulders
That's our gang did it! ~
The pony got clear away Luck and close
range blunderbuss bullets had this time pre-
vailed against my Mauser in the hands of
first class marksman.

British Naturalization Laws.

The British naturalization laws are now
an object of interest in aiding our minds
in the preparation of a suitable system
for our new dependencies. A British sub
ject is not u British citizen unless he was
born in the Three Kingdoms and one
born in the colonies, unless of British
parents, has to be Raturalized in England
to become q citizen. An alien naturaliZed
in Canada is only citizen of Canada
and only as long as he resides there. II
he goes to another British colony his
alienship revives.
