New York Tribune. There are two or
three more swimming about in the
tanks. The sturgeon Is an interesting
fish. 1t has, for instance, telescope
mouth. Its mouth has not the usual
bony jaw opening like that Of most
fish. 1t is on the underside Of its head,
like that Of shark, and is more like
a hole than anything else. In front OF
1t, hanging down like a thin beard, are
a number of sensitive tentacles.
Whenever the sturgeon in his search
for food skins the surface of the bot
tom these tentacles sweep on the
ground. If they chance to pass over
the end Of the siphon of a sOft-shelled
clam the information is immediately
telegraphed to the brain and the tele

say, does not follow the fragments Of

Look ye!' cried Louis, grasping him
by the arm, and gazing intently into his
face, while Goupart stood by reloading
the rifles, ''if you do not tell me instant

the earth and you shall be buried with
your head down. You know very well

with difficulty.

But you know something. Tell me

"'Twas white mans gold. The pale
boy and the pale boys friend both have
enemies. There's a strange bird i'll the

Speak palmer! Tell me-"
70 Louis stopped, for he saw that the
death shade had passed over the red
mans face, and as he let go the now
heavy hand, the body fell over sideways
upon the turf.
SIS he dead?" asked Goupart.
"Yes and the secret of this strange
scene is dead with him, so far as our
means of arriving at it are concerned.
Goupart, there's something here we had
better understand"
But st. Denis knew not what to reply,
for a suspicion had come to him, but he
dared not speak it too suddenly. So the
two hunters stood for some moments
and gazed upon the dead men in silence.
:"Well," said Louis, after a while, "let's
leave these bodies here, and in the morn
ing we'll send our negroes out to bury
them. Now, let's fix our venison, and
then start for home, for we've had ad-
venture enough for one day. You begin
now to see some of our Louisiana life.
How do you like it?''
st. Denis gazed upon his companion
some moments in silent admiration, and
then he said:
30, this is much better than nothing,
though once year would be often enough
for such sport"
$50 it would. But now for our other
game"
They went to where the deer still lay,
and having removed the skin from the
head, neck and fore shoulders, they sep
arated the carcass, and then rolling the
saddle up, they shouldered it, and giving
one more look at the fallen Indians, they
turned their faces towards home.

CHAPTER V.

A week had passed away since Simon
had confessed his romantic love for
Louise, and during that time he had
maintained much of his wonted compos-
ure. For day or two after the morti-
flying repulse he had been moody and
taciturn, but he gradually overcame it..
and now he smiled as usual, and made
himself generally agreeable. One after
noon, as soon as dinner was over, Gou-
part and Louis started off on q hunting
expedition. Their pistols they concealed
within the bosoms of their hunting shirts,
so that they might not catch in the
bushes, and their knives were in like man.
ner protected. They both had excellent
Toledo rites, and set off in high spirits.
With quick steps they made their way
up the river, until they had passed the
bounds Of the clearing, and then their
steps became more cautious, for they
hoped there might be a deer somewhere
at hand:-
They had hunted about in the forest
for nearly an hour, when movement
among the bushes at some distance at,
tracted their attention, and upon creep
ing carefully up, they saw a large deer
drinking at small brook that emptied
into the river close by.
''See," whispered Goupart, "here are
his tracks,"
Louis looked at the spot which his
companion pointed out, and a sudden
start caused Goupart to ask him its
cause.
That's the track of man." said
Louis. g.,
Some of the negroes have been out
here" suggested Goupart.
No, no." returned the other. "They
have not been out here to-day"
But that may have been made yes
terday, or several days ago."
No." said Louis, still gazing upon the
track. "This was made to-day. Just
look, and you will see that these leaves
are still damp on the upper edges where
the foot has pressed them up. These
other leaves, you see, are dry where the
edge is free Of the earth. Then here
see this broken twig; see where it has
been pressed down. Now look! And as
he spoke, he lifted the twig, and showed
the place where it laid was perfectly
dry, whereas, had it lain there even over
night, its bed would have been damp.

Col. D. G. Casey, superintendent of

stories Of their early life. At last it
came Casey's turn, and the Clifton Era
