Walked by a Native Dog.

One night shortly after we had
camped, l heard a scuttling noise in
the underground, but supposed it was
only some snake or armadillo travel
ing around our fire and paid no furth-
er heed till Jose touched me on the
shoulder and turned my head to
look where he was pointing. Standing
in the grass up to his eyes, looking at
us in our hammocks, was what was
Enthusiastically dog. Very soon he be-
gan to bark and all doubts about him
vanished. He was typical native
dog. What could he be doing there in
the forest? Jose surmised that we
were near some remote Maya village
but that did not seem possible to me
and so we went to sleep.
Sometime in the night | felt some
thing tightening around my arms and
shoulders and endeavored to spring
from my hammock. l was bound fast
in it. Then l heard a wild yell from
Jose. 1t was so dark that my observa-
tions were all confused Why was
there no light from the fire? Sudden
ly saw the reason. A heap of rank
green had been thrown on it. A fame
burst through for moment and by it's
light l saw forty or fifty able bodied
Mayas almost nude taking possession
of me and my outfit. Nowhere could
see Jose. | was so trussed up that a
part Of my hammock gagged me and
though my Luger pistol was pressed
close against my stomach by the ham,
mock, could not move to get hold of
it. The band had stolen on us in the
night and darkened our fire, then eff
fected an easy capture of everything
except Jose, it appeared. The whole
matter puzzled me completely as
had not supposed there were any dang
erous natives in that region and trav-
elers are rarely attacked for purpose
of robbery So far as Jose was con-
cerned l supposed that he had been
awakened by the approach of the band
and had been able to escape into the
jungle after trying to alarm me by
shouting.
Whatever the situation was, as soon
as they had loaded up the burros and
had collected everything pertaining to
the outfit, the young chief ordered me
seated sideways on a burro and we set
to the east. They were evidently en-

The aged negro awoke during the

His wife searched the house in vain,
