To the Kennebec Valley. or toward

the old school in a handsome home
stead that stands mile or more from
the nearest village and railroad sta
tion. This gentleman IS OF a con-
yival tHrn OF mind and for a long
time found IL necessary TO go to Port
land at frequent intervals some
times two or three times week.
From every one Of these Journeys he
returned on the latest train that he
could get, and this was one that in
yariably landed him at his station as
late as ] i o'clock.
AS he was not in the least in a con-
ditinn to walk home it was necessary
every night for the local livery stable
man to harness a horse and take him
home. This went on until the owner
OF the stable resolved that the man
must be demonstrated with There
fore, the gentleman having arrived
one night from Portland at the usual
hour and In the usual condition, and
the horse having been put into the
conveyance and the man loaded in, as
usual, the stable owner turned TO his
passenger and said,
Look here squire. II You don't
quit this sort o business purity soon
ther'll be singin' down to your house
some day, and begad you won't hear
a word Of it,"
Something about this admonition-
the grim picturesQueness OF IT. perhaps
caused 1t to sink into the mans
mind. and he left of his trips to
Portland FOR some time.

The bowling Of jagnars in some

a Wild and terrible chorus and one
which might well alarm the timid.

turbed for many Nights, he determin-
ed to rid himself Of one, at least. Of
the unweicome visitors Only two
natives in the settlement, a slall
collection Of huts on the San Domingo,
were available FOR helping in a jaguar
hunt, but there were plenty Of dogs.
He says:
We started while Il was quite dark,
and arrived on the edge Of the lake

havior OF the dogs that the jaguars
had been prowling about. but we were
Obliged TO wait for more light
Soon the deep footprints in the
sand indicated the direction we should
take, and half mile Of careful track
ing round the edge OF the lake brought
us in sight OF the iaguar
Then we dolged "a among the
brushes keeping ourselves and the
dogs as much under cover as possible

down on the beautiful animal, at a
distance OF twenty yards 1t eyed us

After ten minutes Of desperate
fighting the iaguar made bound for

bah at its heart but only succeeded in
breaking its shoulder This brought
il again q the ground and, mad With
pain, it made a desperate spring az

called upon to amputate a mans leg
before a lot Of students and male

male nurses expressed their pity by
sighs and sympathetic little whispers
but when the limb was parted from
the body they examined It curi0usly
without a sign Of pity for the sufferer.
Two weeks ago it became his duty to
