INTERVIEW WITH A TIGER.

INTERVIEW WITH A TIGER,
The tiger crouched for moment
to take breath, then, gathering all his
strength, he sprang again. This time
he almost succeeded in touching my
shoe Il could not draw up my feet for
fear of overbalancing myself, and
felt the hot, fetid breath from his
mouth fan my face. In a silence
which seemed to enforce his deter
mination he prepared for third
spring-a spring which l knew must
end fatally to me- All hope seemed
to have fed, and ] had given myself
up for lost, though | still continued
to scream feebly, when an answering
shout was borne hack to me and I
The tiger heard them, too, and turned
instantly to face his new foe; and a
second later Teddy. rifle in hand,
came into sight. His bewildered
glance fell on me. From where he
stood he could not see the beast,
which now started to worm it's way
slowly toward him. it's body nearly
touching the ground and little track
of crimson marking its course. 'l.'s
there! It's there!" I cried hysteric-
ally, and fortunately he understood
what I meant. Never for moment
did he lose his presence of mind, but,
cooking his rife, he quietly awaited
the brute's onslaught. A slight way
ing of the grass alone showed him, as
he stood on the ground, the direction
from which the danger was coming:
but J., from my point of vantage,
could watch the whole scene, help
less spectator. I knew that Teddy
he looked so powerless in front of
that incarnation of brute force that
it seemed to me the combat could
only end one way. I had brough. the
man I loved to his death, and all
could do was to sit there and wait for
Eastern sunshine lit up TedGv's
quiet, set face and the cleaning vel
low and black of his adversary. The
trees stirred softly in gentle breeze
that had sprung up, and cuckoo
called quite close, as it. might have
done in a peaceful English wood
Suddenly there was a flash, a roar
was it the noise of the rifle Or the tri-
umphant roar of the tiger? 1t seemed
to me as if that smoke would never
clear away, but when at last my star
ing eyes could see again the beast lay
dead on the ground, and the man
stood there unharmed.-E. Hobart

M0HAIR AND ALPACA.
These Fabrics Come From Two En-
tireIy Different Animals.


'The other day l heard couple Of
men arguing about mohair and alpaca,
one of them gravely asserting that
they were different names for the same
fabric" said a New York importer.
1.-The assertion was very far out of
the way. The cloth known as alpaca,
if genuine, comes from the wool Of the
animal of the same name, which
thrives only in the Andean regions
of Peru and Chile in South America.
The alpaca, or paco, which resembles
the llama, looks a good deal like our
domestic sheep and has a most beauti-
full fleece. Great flOcl1S of them browse
on the highest ranges of the Andes
and are the property of the native In
dams. who shear them once d year.
Many efforts have been made to breed
the alpaca in different parts of Eu-
rope and Australia, but without sue
cess. a cargo of them was brought to
Baltimore some time in the middle Of
the last century, but the experiment of
raising them in the United States was
likewise a failure.
1.-THE cloth known as mOhair comes
from the ArgOra goat, a very different
animal from the alpaca. The angora
is found in South Africa, but the lar
gest flOcks are found in Asia Minor
