western horizon rose faint blue range Of
mountains.
When that village where our march end
ed was reached, its inhabitants proved to
be much wrought up about jaguars. These
implacable and destructive enemies had
been of late intolerable, and all their war
riors were now resolved to fight, despite
toll, danger, and dread of supernatural
agencies.
1t is not difficult to imagine what ex-
ultation our coming caused. Two white
strangers with those wonderful firearms
of which they knew so little, but surround
ed in superstitious fancy with heaven
knows what grotesque and awe-inspired
imaginations, excited an unlimited conf
dence. Incantations, prayers to all the
powers, had been going on for days, and
now here we came as an assurance that
those were effective.
The rifles first, ourselves afterwards, as
being closely connected with them, receiy-
ed every token of distinguished consider
alton. Nothing more was wanted to con-
fer completeness upon that final 'func-
ton" in which they intended rehearsing
those incidents suggested by hope. Such
dramatic dances, religious, warlike, magi-
cal (all these in one) are as old as hu-
manity; everywhere and always primitive
men attempt to bring about future events
by acting them.

young. Barbaric shapes, masked like de-
mons and horribly bedaubed, fitted
through the ruddy Pickering light, desper-
ately intent upon this scenic mimcry.
Each man thrilled with excitement at his
part, all were dominated by inheritances
from an immemorial savagery which
broke forth in every GESTURE, attitude, and
intOnation, as they danced the tiger hunt.
Everything was ini'nitably portrayed,
and when the beast died amid yells of
triumph, an orator got up in internal
style, even to his horns and tail, pranced
out with a panegyric on our guns.
The morning star was yet high when
we set out; our rifles, as a favor to them,
being carried in turn by guard of honor
There was no need to look for signs, as
these Indians knew where one or two
jaguars would almost certainly be lying
up.
Most jaguars probably confne them
selves to special localities, there being
scarcely any reason why they should mi
crate, and since in order to live anywhere
an animal must be adjusted to its sur
roundings, it is evident that some of these
creatures will become more cunning and
destructive than others, according as they
are so situated that such traits are devel-
oped.

step in advance by fitting itself to cope

was possessed by at least one demon. His
ghost appeared, enjoining revenge, and
none but fools failed TO do what ghosts
ordered. Therefore, there were long pen
ances, little sleep and scarcely any food,
while consecrating magic arrows to kill
this tiger.
At the close Of these preparations,
vision came which assured success; be-
sides which, on that very day, his father
cut its head off an undoubted witch-ser-

and broad lishtnings flashed upwards from
the horizon.
Now he knew this to have been sent as
warning; then the ignorance of youth
blinded him, and his father saw nothing,
being shared by demons stronger than any
that he controlled.
They got up tree, climbed out on one
of its limbs, and fixed an enchanted shield
so as to prevent the demoniac brute from
following. Presently it roared within,
and they saw its great, dusky form
emerge. Al de me! Their magic arrows

During whole days journey we glided
onward over the little rivers cleaning
curves. 1t was twilight always under
those dark, overhanging boughs. The taci-
turn Indians kept silence, and hour by
hour a sense of being waited into solitudes
where man had never intruded became
more impressive.
Without doubt there were tigers closer
by, but these wild men of ours were going
to some place they knew-a small settle
ment of their own tTibeSmcn at the for

shadows deepened, clearer spaces of sky

Night had no sooner fallen than their

there is no better narrative extant of the stirring
experiences of a cavalrvman than there is to be
found in this story. The reader of these pages
will go with the author into his life and see how
the boy was transformed into soldier; will march
with him over mountains and across rivers will
camp the hillside and stand guard in the moon
light and in the rainstorm; will be with him as
videt in the lonely forest and again in the wild
charge.
The humorous, the pathetic the preposterous,
the extravagant phases of war are all told with
the pen OF a master. Finally comes grim battle,
the defeat, the surrender, the travelling through
the South as a prisoner of war; the experiences
in Richmond prisons and at ghastly Belle Isle !;
then comes the climax in the prison stockade at
Andersonville itself, with its 10000 men, its pow
erty, its starvation, its death. All these things
are told with the dramatic power of truth, and
they are told as only they can be told by one
