That's to be done after we get further up

Ter. ''ls he to be taken down in the Indian's

OF disappointment that he could not have
kept on in order to show just what speed the
little steamer could make.
IL was decidedly an assorted cargo that the
indian had. In small cage Of stout sap
lings was a magnificent black iaguar con
lined in so narrow space that he had no
room even TO turn around and It was proba-
bly, owing to this fact that he had not been
able to bite or break his way through his
prison.
In cage quite as small for lis occupants
as was that of the jaguar, were six bell birds,
whose clear, ringing notes the boys had often
heard at MONDAY when all other feathered
songsters were silent. They were Of a pure
white color, about the size of blackbird,
and with a neshy tubercle three inches long
hanging from the base of the bill above.
Another cage, in which were two armadillos,
made up the cargo of the canoe which was
so full that it semed as if another bird would
have sunk it.
When the Indian was alongside he began
to talk rapidly, motioning FIRST toward his
live stock and then to the canoe in a manner
that left little doubt in the minds of his hear
ers as TO his desire to sell the specimens, al
though they could not understand word he
said

Val. "and yet we must MANAGE to keep him

The most striking thing about them was
their red, almost scarlet, faces which gave
them a very peculiar appearance.
Are they monkeysP asked Fred, in sur
prise, for he had never even heard of such a
species before.
YES" replied George. They are scarlet
faces, and il these lnjuns can bring 'em to
life, 1 reckon your father viii do something
handsome by 'em, for even in this country
they are rare and command good prices"
The Indians had not waited for this conver.
satiou TO cease before they began the work OF
resuscitation. After breaking the arrows, in
order TO draw them from the flesh without
inihicting a greater wound, each man opened
the jaws of the monkey he was caring for,
dropped into it large pinch of salt-whch is
an antidote for the urari-and, without fur
ther care for the animal, placed him in the
baskets, intmating that they had finished
their hunting for the day.
"Well, that beats me" said old George,
with half-drawn sigh, when, on arriving at
the tents the Indians showed the monkeys
apparently as lively and well as ever they
were. "I've seen considerable hunting in my
time. but never saw animals trapped before
by killing them first and then bringing them
to life"
DR.. Burroughs thought the prizes so valua-
BILE that he told Val to get the yacht under
way at once.
You can run down to the schooner in a

very short time, and, if you do not delay
there, can be back before dark. | don't want
to run any risk of losing these monkeys, there
fore you must take them to the North Star
and tell Mr.. Staples to be very careful OF
them"
1t was then quite early in the forenoon, and
it would not be hard work to get back to the
camp some hours before sunset, more partic,,
ular1y since the Midget would have no load
to carry.
Arthur Fowler got steam up quickly, and in
a short time the three started, with no other
passengers than the scarlet-faced monkeys,
who did not appear to be at all frightened at
finding themselves prisoners.
The run to the schooner was accomplished
by o'clock, the monkeys were delivered, to-
gether with DIR. Burroughs orders concerning
them, and, half an hour later, after having
taken dinner on board the North Star, the
boys started back for the camp.
The steamer made good time, and Val was
beginning to think that he should surprise
his father by returning SO soon, when canoe,
laden with one very large and several small
cages, put out from the shore, its occupant
evidently intending to intercept the Midget.
The yacht was then hardly more than three
miles from the place where the party were
encamped, and Val gave Arthur the signal
TO ''slow down." but doing so with feeling
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-17

Cant You make him understand where
you want him to go?" asked Fred.
Val Immediately began a series of panto-
mimic gestures, which were not understood
for some time by the would-be trader but
when he did appear to have an idea of what
the boy was trying to convey, he made mo-
tions to have his load transferred from the
canoe to the yacht.
'You are not going to take that jaguar on
board, are your" asked Fred, with look of
fear ON his face.
Indeed, | am not" laughed Val. "The
brute. would surely bite US before we could
get him on here, if he did not break out of
his cage altogether"
The cages containing the birds and the
armadillos were transferred from the canoe
to the yacht, and then Val explained by ges-
lures to the Indian that he would be obliged
to keep his other passenger with him.
A rope was made fast to the canoe, so that
it might be towed astern, and then the yacht
steamed ON her way again; but 80 much time
had been lost oy the conversation with the
Indian, and the Midget was so impeded by the
canoe astern, that it was not until nearly sun
set that she arrived at the encampment.
Doctor Burroughs had already concluded
his examination of the cowfish, and was
bargaining with party Of natives for the
purchase of hats and feather ornaments that

and then the light report was heard as the
arrow was blown out.
''They've missed the mark" cried George,
as each of the Indians rose to his feet and
darted among the foliage, but keeping their
ewes fixed upon the trees above.
If the Indians had missed their aim, they
onneared to be remarkably wellcontented
with their failures, as the boys and the hunt
ers could see as they followed them.
After running fifty yards or so, Val saw a
monkey drop to the ground with an arrow in
I;s shoulder, and almost before he was fairly
down. two more fell wounded in the same
Then it was that the white portion of the
oortv understood that the Indians had not
eexpected to bring the game down as sono as
the arrow struck, but, as only slight wound
must be given in order to carry out their pur-
nose. they had been content to follow until
the working OF the poison should bring the
game to the ground.
The monkeys were such odd-looking Great
,,es that it was some moments before Val
and Fred remembered that they were to be
brought to life again. They were Of medium
size. with long. white hair from their necls

age amman from DltlnR or scratching
them. He did his best to fasten his teeth
in the flesh of the men they hoisted and
pushed him in board, and struck savagely
through the bars OF the cage with his paws
whenever they moved anywhere in front OF
him.
But George and Dave were much too expert
enced in the work of handling wild animals to
give the jaguar any opportunity to inilict a
wound; and despite his attempts, he was final
ly landed in the cockpit, where he could roar
and snarl to his hearts content.
Doctor Burroughs was anxious to move the
camp further up the river the next day, even
though the Midget was to make the run to
the schooner, and he advised that val Fred
and Arthur should sleep on board that night,
in order that they might have full head Of
steam on soon as the day began to break.
"If you are awakened at three O'Clock, he
said, 'you can be ready to start half an hour
later, and if nothing happens, should be back
here before noon. We will have the tents
struck and all the goods slowed in the long,
boat, so that when you return you Will need
to stop only long enough to pass the towing
line aboard"
| The Indians had been cutting wood for fuel
during the afternoon, and this was carried on
board as soon the jaguar had been slowed
away.
thur could fix the fire ready for lighting as
soon as he awakened, the boiler was filled
with water, and everything done toward max
ing ready for the start.
| George promised to call the boys at the
proper time, and Arthur said:
give can have steam on in fifteen minutes
after we are awake, and we will run down
river with a full head, so that we can be
alongside the schooner by five o'clock"
"In that case you will be ready to start
back an hour later, and, being lighter, can
get here again so that we can run ten or
twelve miles before the hottest part OF the
day,' replied Captain Thompson.
1--WE will show you in the morning Just
what the Midget can do" said Val, proudly;
"and / shan't slow down coming back, no
matter how many natives we meet"
That's right, my boy; for to tell the truth
I'm getting tired Of this running around after
nothing but butterflies. | believe brush
with some of our old African friends would
be better than this dull work."
1T hasn't been particularly dull for Fred
if it has for YOU" said Val, laughingly. He
has had so much in the way of adventure that
| fancy he would think chasing butterflies a
very agreeable change"
I'm not so sure of that" said Fred for
the work is too hard; but | certainly have
had adventures enough, and now we are going
to ru ndown the river with a decidedly dis.

YELLOW FEVER.
Its Deadly Trail Leads Back to the
Discovery Of America.

Its Deadly Trail Leads Back to the
Discovery Of America.
The discovery Of yellow fever is said
to date bach to the first years of the
discovery Of America, when the disease
broke out among the soldiers Of Co
lumbus in Santo Domingo But the
first authentic account is Of an epidem-
&c which occurred In the Barbados in
164I. Since then innumerable epidem-
les have ravaged the cities Of North
and South America, Central America
and even Europe. During the Napole-
Snic wars the most extensive epidemics
occurred. In 1900 Cadiz was visited by
this scourge, which attacked $4,000 out
of $1,000, 5000 dying in few months.
One of tie worst epidemics which has
ever ravnged the United States occur
red in 1873 and extended along the At
lantic coast through all the southern
states aGd as far north as Rhode Is
land. One hundred and twenty-five
THOUSAND persons were stricken, more
than 20 900 dying Of the disease.
A popularity of the germ Of yellow
fever Is that it may be carried long dis
tances and preserve its vitality for
months. During the epidemic Of 1900
in Cad:z there was an instance Of this.
A native fleeing from the infected city
went 70 his villa in Medina, Sidonia.
and there died Of the disease on his ar

case

was the beginning of the outbreak In
Philadelphia In 1741. The effects Of
this man, a Mr. Bingham, were sent or
from the place where he died, and the
germs had enough of vitality in them

to a disastrous outbreak. Individuals
