from it by night. The tangle by the lake shore is the haunt by day of many water buck, which swim from the mainland and find here a sanitary from their enemies, the lions and hyenas.
 As the shadows grow longer and the sungoes down behind the Mau trop of baboons in the rocks begin to clat- ter before they go to bed, and there is a stir among the geese beside the lake. Jackals, waking from their long siesta, trot over the plain and creep cautious ly toward the camps of the natives. Something brown appears at the edge of the reeds; it is water buck. At first his head and horns alone are visi- ble, then after a wary look about him he steps out from his shelter and, stop ping here and there to crop a tuft of grass, strolls off to a favorite saltlick a mile away.
 Like the red deer of Exmoor, the wa ter buck play havoc in any unfenced garden or cultivated ground. They love to pull plant up by the roots, and after a single bite (not always tha) pass on to another. The twilight goes quickly, and in half an hour it is black night. Theer is a croaking chorus of frogs by the lake and the ''konk' of herons overhead flying to their fishing. As we move toward the camp our steps are perhaps little quickened when we hear the unearthly howl of hyenah and the discontented grunt of lion.

HE SAW COUSIN HARRY.

But Harry Was Dead 40OO Miles Away Was It Ghost That Came Back?
 At least one Pittsburg family has well authenticated ghost story. AL though it dates back to the Mexican War, there are still living people who had a personal knowledge of the visit alton and who even now stand ready to vouch for the facts although they do not make any effort to explain them. The person most concerned, however has been dead for a number of years.
 Seventy years ago a tailor had his establishment in Pittsburg, then a rather small town, and lived with his family in Ferry Street, favored res idence district at the time. Among those in his employ was a nephew who was a great favorite with the tailor's young sons, At the beginning of the Mexican War this nephew enlisted and left for the South, where he served under Gen. Scott. Mails were few in those days and but little news came from the front except of the most frag- mentary character Even the big bat ties were often not heard of for weeks after they occurred.
 One day David, a son of the house, went home and told his mother he had met Cousin Harry on the street and he would be home for dinner" The news caused great rejoicing, as noth- ing had been heard of the soldier for a long time and there had been con- siderable anxiety as to his safety
 Noon arrved, and the father came home for his dinner and was told about the meeting. He expressed some astonishment that Harry had not been in the shop to see him, but thought nothing much of. it, as the young man had been quite popular and it was sup posed that he had been doing a lit tie visiting among his friends.
 But Harry did not come. The fam fly waited dinner for an hour or more and then, coming to the conclusion that Harry had been prevailed on to dine somewhere else, sat down to their meal All that day and all the next the returned soldier was looked for, but he did not appear. Up to this time nobody doubted Davids story, for he was not an imaginative child.
 In the meantime, through chance inquiries, the family found that no person except his cousin, David, had seen Harry, although he was very well known in the city. The lad was then questioned strictly and told a remarkably straight story. He ex- plained that he had been coming along the street on his way home to dinner when he met Harry; described how he looked-tanned with the hot climate of Mexico and rather thin and worn from his journey He told in detail of their brief conversation and of how Harry had promised to tell him the tale he said that Jim, neighbor boy with whom he was very chummy, had been along with him.
 Jim was hunted out and also ques- toned He confirmed Davids story about their having been together, but he had heard David talking to some body, but when he looked he could see nothing but a lamp post He said David had been so sure about having seen Harry and had expressed so much astonishment when he (Jim) had said he did not see him, that he had been sort of abashed and had not

spoken of it to any one. And there the matter rested.
 The two boys, it appeared, had been going home together, joking and talking to each other after the man. ner of their kind, when David sudden. " stopped and had his short, but ani- mated conversation with some one Jim could not see. Jim said, Tt made me feel funny"
 Weeks later, when most persons had forgotten about the matter, the family received a letter from Harry's captain. It contained the news that the young man had died of fever in the castle of Cerro Gordo, and in his delirium he had talked of going back home to Pittsburg, of his relatives there and of his little cousin Dave, of whom he was especially fond. As near " as could be determined David's talk with Harry was just about that time. -Pittsburg Letter N. Y. Herald.
