knowledge Of music, but he had the delight Of his
race in the performance Of children and the CONNER

Iatng Giovanni from the gravel path to the vaude
vile stage. Yetta had told him Of the boy, but the
account had not interested him until now that the
object of it was actually before his eyes He chewed
his cigar medtatvely as the boy came back to Yetta
after his performance. He noticed how full the lit
tie brown hand was Of money, and with sudden de-
cison, asked Giovanni if he would like to come home
with them to dinner On the boys joyful assent the
three left the park and made their way to the Mad-
son Avenue boarding house
While the children amused each other Mr.. Susky
walked up and down, perfectng the details Of his
scheme; and emitting clouds Of smoke and incohercnt
Yiddish exclamaions The boy stayed with them
that night and slept for the first time in his vagrant
little life in real bed with sheets, pillows and
coverets 1t could not be said that he exactly slept
in the bed but he lay upon it, in all of his few
clothes, and tried to sleep. 1t was so different bed
room from the ground under the lilac bushes where
he was used to lie that he was restless and got up
again and again to examine different things in the
room which the travelling squares of moonlight from
the window brought into view. For him it was not
a night of rest but night of wonder at the com
mon things of life.
On Monday Mr.. Susky visited the studio of the
great Herr Klaf. The musician was discouraging
at frst-he had so many of these natural geni-
uses who had nothing more than little facility of
the fingers to recommend them-and was not anxi-
Gus to listen to another. But at last Mr. Sulskvs
perseverance won, and Herr Klaf agreed to see
Giovanni.
"All right " he said Bring him in on Wednes
day see him after lunch Bring his music along
and III see is he has anything in him-don't forget
the music"

"Gut-gut, Mr.. Sulsky said after each COM

to the paror of the boarding ghouse and, taking the
first piece of music from the top of the piano,
brought it up and requested Giovanni to play that

stealing carefully in the direction of the
noise, hung it upon little scrub brush, with

l then went back, and leading the dogs
out among the horses, tied them to a picket
pin far enough away, so that they could not
see the animal if it approached the bait, and
SO could not brighten it with their growls.
Then | heaped lot OF dry sticks upon the
campfire, so as to make bright blaze, and
lay down close behind it, with my rifle in
readiness 1 did not feel uneasy at leaving
the horses to themselves for awhile, as /
knew the dogs would raise an alarm should
anything or any one approach it.
The fire soon blazed brightly enough to al
low me to see my bush, which was about
twenty yards away, and sighting across INV
gun, saw that could make tolerably fair
aim at that distance.
In about twenty minutes / heard the
scratching sound again, but further away
than before: The animal had probably moved
off as approached with the meat; but after
awhile the noise came nearer again, stopping
every few seconds. 1t evidently gmelled the
meat, and was determined not to leave until
it had had some.
Nearer and nearer grew the sounds of the
approach. My companions were all sound
asleep, and / dishked TO disturb them, bat /

ooh, it'll smell smoky for few days, but
it won't do il any particular hurt. It's an
old one, anyway"
That night each of us had part of the
time something to occupy his attention while
taking his turn on guard. Our camp was in
small grove again, which would afford good
shelter in case of attack.
= My watch came just at midnight, and
Uncle Ben, as he woke me, said he thought
there was an animal of some kind prowling
about; that it had been among the horses,
disturbing them. He had seen it once dim
ly, and tried to get shot at 1t, but did not
succeed. The dogs were both tied securely,
and he thought that they had better not be
turned loose, for fear they might follow it
too far
l went out among the animals at once and
remained for some time, but hearing nothing
/ came back to attend to the meat. While
placing some sticks upon the fire, l distinctly
caught sound as of some animal scratching
upon the bark Of tree, at a little distance
up the creek. 1 concluded that it was a
wildcat prowling about Ills, attracted, no
doubt, by the scent of the fresh venison, which
had been hung upon the limb Of tree close
to our camping ground.
| listened some minutes and could hear the
animal moving about among the trees, not
more than thirty yards away, although the
night was so dark / could not have seen it
half that distance.
At length l hit upon plan to bring the

heels for more than three hundred miles, not
knowing what moment we might find evil
dence that he had been murdered by the In
dams, or suffered violence at the hands Of
the desperate outlaws whom he was so holly
chasing.
Three hundred and fifty miles on horseback,
by the time we should reach Fort Rice, and
one hundred and fifty of those miles in the
first three days.
Our horses showed the strain of this ire
mendous gait, especially did Nero and Jerry's
horse-which looked badly jaded but the two
ponies had made The trip in fair condition.
The Indians often ride these ponies seventy
five miles in single day, incredible as it
may seem to people who live amid rocks and
hills, or who have to travel at snairs pace
through sand which is up to the fetocks of
their horses
As we made Beaver Creek in good season
that night, and had seen no sign of Indians
since the bout with them at the Cheyenne,
Jud and ] were allowed to try our hands
upon herd of antelope, which could be seen
feeding upon the hillside about mile above
us.
Following Jerry's instructions, we stole up
the shallow creek, keeping behind the banks
until we were opposite the herd, thus bring
ing us within easy range of the nearest ones
Then, each selecting a fine ANIMAL both
were killed at the first fire, the rest of the
herd scampering away.
We took the saddles of both of the slain

ones, as Jerry wished to cure, after the man
ner of the Indians, all that could be conve-
niently carried. The scout had noticed our
success and commenced his preparations by the
time we arrived He had, with his Ratchet,
scooped hole in the ground, and built a
frame around the little hollow, by setting
four small crotches about two feet high, and
had laid number of small sticks across the
top of them.
'I'm ready for you," said he, as We came
I'M. ~ fed the old venison to the dogs"
The hounds thus far had mainly subsisted
upon a small species of hare which habits
thickets of willows and other shrubs, and
upon blush rabbits which they caught along
the streams where we camped.
We curiously watched the scout as he pro-
coded with his preparations for curing one
Of the saddles He cut it into thin strips,
and, rubbing each piece with SALT hung them
ali mon the sticks across the top of the
frame. He then built a fire of dry cotton
wood sticks in the hollow beneath them, and
spread his buffalo robe, hair side out over
The whole. LAYING some heavy sticks around
on the outer edge, in order to hold it down
and keep the smoke and heat inside.
"There," said he, when the operation had
been completed, that's the way we cure
venison in this country. You see the airs
so dry up on these prairies here that meat
will keep long time after it has been rubbed
with salt and smoked in this way one night
and all that it needs now is Just for the one
that's on guard to see to the fire and keep it
going little"
but how about the robe" asked Uncle
Ben; won't it spoil that!"

The first glance showed me that the animal

air, with a frightful scream, ,whirling rounfd

pain. 1t came spinning directly toward my
companions, who were rolled in their blankets
few feet to the left.
"Look out! look out!" shouted, not hav-
ing time to extract the shell and fire at tne
thing again, so rapidly did it approach ;,
The slumberers had been aroused by the
shot, and raising, with bewidered looks' 70
their elbows, were still further startled py

Jerry OWNED the cause OF the racket; anu anu
ducking his head, rolled over and lay perfectly
still.
The colonel sprang partly to his feet, but
too late to get out Of the way, for the wbirl,,

1t was now our turn to get out of the way;

backward, | showed the muzzle almost against
the beast and fired.
1t was too badly hurt to withstand the eli

and, rolling over, gave two OF three kicks
and expired.
Hello, fellows!" shouted Jerry, peeping
forth from his blanket, where he had lain
quiet as a mouse Hello! what on earth

to his feet and shook himself.

I'm terribly scared"
The scout rolled over on his back, and,
holding his sides after his hearty fashion,
gave vent to peals of laughter, which brought
the echoes from either side of the little val
ley; and as his mirth was always contagious,
we were compelled to Join him.
"You ought to have done as | did, boys l
knew the beast was coming and knew from
his howl it was a lynx. It's a big one, too

An examination showed that the first ball
had struck it near the middle of the side,
and passed out at the opposite hip. The other
had gone straight through the fore part OF its
body
