says in part:

civilized region but one which, in wild and
remote part of the Himalaya Mountains, might
well justify Colonel Marsden's anxiety.
The road which was nothing more than
a rough bridle-path, barely wide enough in
many places to let two horsemen pass one
another, wound along the edge of precipices
and through masses of thicllet, dense and
gloomy enough to shelter a whole menagerie of
wild beasts thieves sufficient to rob the
entire village.
The trot at which Thurlow had started soon
slackened to a walk, for the moon had not as
yet risen and the overhanging cliffs made his
way so dark that he might easily, despite his
previous boast, have ridden straight down n
precipice with his eyes open
But it not without reason that he had
called his Afghan horse sure-footed and the
staunch little beast picked its way along the
narrow. slippery ledge through the thickest
darkness as easily as it would have gone along
high-road in broad daylight.
Thurlow was nearly halfway along the
darkest and narrowest part of the path, when
a rumbing noise was heard far overhead, and
the next moment huge stone, big enough t.
have dashed him in pieces had it hit him, came
crashing down the mountain-side in a success
sion of mighty bounds
| 1t passed so close to him that he could feel
the wind of its rush upon his face, and the

ravine, hundreds of feet below.

think the colonel was right, after ALL
Our hero had soon much better cause to say
so.
His mettlesome Afghan horse, startled by
the rush and laundering of the falling rock,
began to prance wildly about in a way that
would have been uncomfortable enough on
plain road, but which became decidedly un-
pleasant on narrow path along the edge of
precipice.
STEADY, you donkey!" cried Thurlow, who,
good rider though he was, found it no easy
matter to keep his scat.
you a mountain horse, and afraid of a
rolling, stone!- You ought to be ashamed of
YOURSELF"
At that moment the beast SHE'D so suddenly
bering Colonel Marsden's warning about wild
beasts, drew, pistol from his holsters, as he
bent forward to see what was the matter
But this time the danger was of another
kind.
The moon was just rising over the hilltops,
and its pale gleam showed him that almost
the whole breadth of the path had been swept
away by landslip, leaving between the ghast-
ly chasm that it had made and the sheer cliff
above a space barely two feet wide.
''Lucks against me. tonight" said Thurow,
as he sprang from his restiye beast, and led
it, not without difficulty, over the perilous
sthmus.
But the nights adventures were not ended
yet. A few hundred yards further on the
path plunged suddenly into dark. impene-
trable mass of thorny jungle, which at this
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-17

point covered the whole mountain-side.
Scarcely had Thurlow entered it, when the
moon dipped behind a cloud, leaving hun
once more in total darkness; but he felt his
horse (Which had queted down lttle) start
and tremble more violently than before, AZ
the same moment, two fiery eyes glazed
through the blackness just above them, and
amid the dead silence arose the horrid, snarl-
ing cry of a hungry panther.
Zone at a time" cried our hero, leaping
nimby to the ground 81 won't fight pan
ther and my horse, too. Now, you squaling
brute, come on as soon as you like" -.
A savage yell and crash among the bushes
answered his challenge, and something fell
with heavy thud right on the horses back.
And now began terrible struggle. Nothing
could be seen; but the panther's half-stfled
prowls. mingled with the snorting and tramp
ing of the horse, showed how the fight ragged.
All three were now in regular Elk" Thur
low dared not fire lest he should kill his horse
The horses frantic lunges bade far to throw
him bodily over the ,precipice, while the pan
ther, having caught his fore claws in the sad
die flaps and his hind claws in the rug cover
ing the horses back, could neither disengagc
himself nor make good his hold.
Suddenly there came dull crash and 2
sharp howl of pain, followed by tho, muttied
reverberaton of heavy body rebounding from
ledge to ledge of the tremendous depth below.
A furious bound of the horse had dashed the
clinging panther so hard against, projecting
crag as to break its back and hurl it down
the prccipice to feed the crows and vultures::
Half an hour later, Thurlow was safe at
home.

TALES FROM THE TROPICS

as the fear of tree-snakes flashed through his
mind, he Involuntary loosed his hold, lost
his balance, and fell from his place of refuge.
He dropped squarely on the buffalo's back,
and in an instant was carried away through
the tall, thick grass of the jungle. Being
quite an athlete, he managed to keep his scat,
but with great difficulty. The enraged beast
circled about, and at length sprang into a
deep pond. Bayard still clung to the animal,

the calf was still lying, and, finding that it
could not shake off its clinging rider, proceed
