They had travelled for two hours
when they came upon a good-sized
creek that had to be crossed. Owing
to the rain, the creek was in flood, and
could not be Waded. The boys We're

fallen tree over which they could

Turning a thicket. they came upon
a queer sight. There was fallen tree

close together stood a bear and a
panther. Each had started to cross
from a different direction, and they
had met in the center. Their noses
were not two feet apart, and each
beast was threatening the other

1t was only a moment, but the mo-
ment was enough for me. I swung
around the root, grabbed my rifle, and
got back to shelter even as the jaguar
whirled at me.
The rest was simple. My first shot
was at the cat. It was the easiest shot
that I ever had at big game, for the
brutR had resumed its old watchful
position and pressed the rifle almost
into its face. 1t went through the
brain and into the spine and the ia
guar hardly jerked- He simply quiv-

lapse into a heap of spotted fur.
Mr. Shark was the next target but
he needed three shots to bring him
bellv upward, although each shot went
true. The big fish are tougher than
big game and can carry off more bull
lets partly because the only immedi-
ately fatal shot is one that sewers the
spine, and that is difficult to do when
shooting at swiftly swimming crea-
tuTe that is partly under the surface.
When had settled the shark I laid
my rifle back on the tree and swan
ashore without any further adventure.
That afternoon I rejoined my Indians
and we padded after the tree, which
we found drifting some miles down the
stream. I got my rife and my jaguar
but we did not see anything of the
dead shark. Probably the Amazon al
ligatOrs and turtles ate him up.

that the material when viewed in the

so she wants something better. But
beneath all these excuses lies the real
gist of her indecision. The American
woman is spoiled by husband and shop
keepers alike. She is restless and dis
satisfied by nature, and the modern
desk and its liberal treatment of GUS
toners in order to draw and hold
trade, has humOred her until its very
liberality comes back a boomerang of
its own throwing.

he came, keeping his distance exactly.
Not a fin moved. He sped as silently
and quietly as if his ugly body were
being propelled by an engine. The
only thing about him that seemed to
move were his wicked eyes, which
slipped back and forth in their oval,
snakey sockets continually. 1t may
have been only Imagination, but it
seemed to me that the brute in the
water kept its eyes on me Just as the
brute on the tree did.
I saw my chances for getting ashore
dwindle away fast. for the banks re-
coded on either side and the tree was
heading out again into part of the
river that was not only full of whirl-
pools and tum bling cross currents, but
at least ten miles wide, making a swim
out of the question.
If wanted to swim ashore I had to
do 1t within a quarter of an hour at
the most. But it would have been
madness to try it with the shark be-
hind me, for the sharks that venture
up the Amazon river are the worst of
their kind. How lOnged for my rifle,

and I gripped my nachete, trying to
make up my mind to what was most
likely to be my last fight. Then an
unexpected occurrence came to my
aid.
The jaguar's tail had been quivering
restlessly and lashing from side to
side as the tails of all the great cat
do when they are angry. Several times
it's tip end touched the water and all
at once, when this happened again, the
big shark forged ahead like lightning
and snapped at it. The jaguar whirled
around like a top and with a terrible
scream drove his huge paw at the fish.
The sharp claws held only for a mo-
ment. Then they slipped off the
sharks tough hide. But that moment
had been enough. for the shark had
thrown himself on his side and the big
cat lost his balance for a moment, so
that it faced the other way, while it

but after half an hour something hap
pened to give them a great fright.
The boys suddenly heard the scream
of wild beast above the snarls If the
wolves, and then there was a terrific
fight for a minute. Then the wolves
were heard scampering away, and Joe
whispered to Dan:

others away in terror. For a few min
utes he was quiet, being surprised at
the smell of smoke and the situation of
affairs. but presently he began grow1-
ing and snarling, and trying to force
his way into the save.
The dog crouched down and shiv-
cred, and Dan was of no use, but Joe
crept forward with his spear and
wounded the panther at the first
thrust. Then the enraged beast broke
loose, and made the forest ring with
his fierce cries. But for Dan and his
lance he could have shouldered the
stone away In minute, but the boy
was on the watch for him.
Every time the beast came near
enough he got a jab from the sharp
knife, and after being wounded three
or four times he finally withdrew, and
was heard of no more.
The rest of the night passed without
alarm, but the boys did not sleep
again. When daylight came they
peered out and saw a dead wolf with
many tufts of hair lying about, and it
was with the greatest caution that they
finally emerged from the cave.
They looked into the trees about
them, but the panther was nowhere to
be seen. 1t had rained all night, and
was still raining. but they had no need
to build a fire. Their breakfast was
wrapped up in the piece of bark.
The dog was not acting at all like
his conduct in running after the wolves,
and though the boys spoke to him
kindly he went about with dropping
tail, and would not respond. He fin
ally made a sneak down the bank and
across the creek and though they
called and whistled, he would not re-
turn.
At about 10 O'Clock the rain ceased
and the sun came out, and the boys
pursued their way, holding in the

CHAPTER VI.
The noise that had aroused the boys
from sleep was made by wolves. The
beasts had scented out the spot where
the deer had been killed and dressed,
and dozen of them engaged in a
fierce fight over the remains.
They were a mile away. but as the
forest was quiet their howls and erovvIs
and yelps seemed to be close at hand.
The dog had rushed out of the cave
before the boys awoke, and it was
three or four minutes before the
the noise meant
ITS the wolves fighting over what
we left of the deer, said Joe. 'and I
do not think there is any cause for us

tney cannot get at US. Here is "a piece
OF stout string While you creep out
Of the cave and throw more wood on

lash my knife to the hoe handle. We
viii use it for a spear if the beasts
do come"
Dan crept out Of the cave to find the
nre almost out. There was plenty of
limbs at hand to start it uD again, and
when he had a good blaze going he
whistled and called for the dog Five
minutes passed and the animal did not
return, while all of a sudden the wolves
set up a new clamor.

are coming this way. and we must set

fight"
Two minutes later the dog was heard
scratching and whining at the blocked
entrance. The stone was quickly
showed aside and he was admitted. and
3ust then the pack of wolves came
sweeping up and halted a few feet
from the fire.
The dog had received q bad bite and
was pretty wen scared. The boys
knew that all wild animals dreaded

would have done so had they not
