muzzle was near my knee, would pass
It on In front again, and so on.
Progress was slow, and was so alb

and circling round until l had gone
some 80 yards. Then the whirring of
wings attracted my ears, and almost at
the same moment a vulture landed on
the ground not 20 yards away. I look

repulslve looking birds. Then It flash

The Lesson He wanted.

In his autobiography. up From Slav-

amusing anecdote of an old colored
man who during the days Of slavery
wanted to learn how TO play on the gui-
tar. In his desire to take guitar les
sons he applied TO one of his young
masters to teach him. But the young
man. not having much faith in the
ability of the slave TO master the gui-
tar at his age. sought to discourage
him by telling him: Uncle Jake. l will
give you guitar lessons. But. Jake,
viii have to charge you SO for the first
lesson. So for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson. But l will charge
you only % cents for the last lesson"
Uncle Jake answered. IAN right,
