upon their bodies. The place looked like
shambles. The remainder of the drove were
beside themselves with rage at the escape OF
the jaguar, and surrounded our trees,
gnashing their tusks and goring the trunks
savagely.
The Indians said that the easiest way for
us to get out of the trap in which we found
ourselves would be to shoot the jaguar and
let the hogs tear him to pieces. They would
then, after awhile, 60 away satisfied Other
wise they might keep us freed indefinitely,
and certainly rabid jaguar was not the
safest or most congenlal tree companion.
We agreed instantly, however, not to sacri
flee the victor of the fight offhand; so we
retreated to the upper leafy branches OF our
trees and lit our pipes, out of sight OF the
Infatuated animals. We concluded that with
our heavy six-shooters we could stop any
possible hostile move on the part of the
wounded jaguar.
1t was fully three hours before the pecca-
ries took themselves away; but they con-
Guided that it was worse than useless to
wait for iaguar to come down out of tree.
One of the Indians finally descended and re-
ported that all the peccaries had disappeared,
and he also called to US to hurry down and
see sight rarely witnessed.
The monarch of the American forest was
dying He had held out bravely, defiantly,
as long as his destroyers were in sight; but
now he was paying the cost of his frightful
encounter. He grew weaker and weaker.
First hind leg slipped off the limb upon
which he was resting He drew it back pain
fully. Then it slipped off again. He recov
cred again. Then, as his muscles relaxed,
both hind legs slipped off and he almost fell;
but his front claws hung tenaciously, and
with tremendous effort he climbed back
upon the limo and composed himself with
deep groan
We stood admiring the noble beast for the
splendid fight he had made against enormous
odds and now for his heroic struggles to con-
qucr the King of Kings. But the next time
his hind legs slipped down he was unable to
pull them back and could only hang by his
front claws with his head close up to the
limb. Then gradually his muscles gave way,
the front paws stretched out to their full
length, and hs head sank down below the
limb, his eyes closed. He hung for minute
or two, his muscles twitching and the red
blood dripping from his TANKS; then his
heavy body fell to the damp ground with a
thud. One more convulsive shudder, and
the last incident of the great fight was closed.

TO THE DEATH

spring, every time the hogs kept pace and
drove in eagerly ahead of him.
In a quarter of minute after the jaguar's
first break from the rocks the whole mass of
animals was bearing down almost upon us,
and Scott and | nervously swung ourselves
up into friendly overhanglng branches. Then
we realized that the Indians had been up in
the trees yelling to us at the top of their
voices to climb up before we were gored to
death.
The jaguar made his last stand not fifteen
feet from us His beautiful coat was torn
and bloodstained, and long shreds OF loose
flesh were hanging from his sides and belly;
but his vigor seemed unmpaired, and he
knocked over four or five peccaries as easily
as though they had been rats. The entire
drove, realizing apparently that their enemy
which had wrought them such havoc was
about to escape their vengeance, Surged IN
mad, disorganized rush at the great cat,
breaking in on him from all sides with in
credible swiftness and making the air a per-
feet inferno of screams. Nor was the jaguar
silent His savage roar fairly shook the trees.
Then, for brief moment, occurred fight
indescribably terrific. If such battle could
have been reproduced in Roman arena 1T
would have made its promoter the idol OF the
populace forever. There was raging, foam

among it bright yellow streaks, flashing,
swinging, cutting, like scythes. 1t seemed as
if every peccary forced his way into contact
with the jaguar and as if every peccary
caught blow from those macelike paws.
Then the yellow streak appeared to spin
round, little space was cleared for an in
slant among the peccaries, and the jaguar
came flying toward the nearest tree, not ten
feet from where we were perched. The great
cat caught the tree easily and pulled himself
up onto the first big branch, where he sank
down on his belly, painting and exhausted,
literally cut to pieces, yet leering down tri-
umphantly at his foes and snarling softly
deep in the back of the throat.
THE battle had been a sanguinary one
: The jaguar had been all but demolished
but he had accounted for over third of the
big drove of peccaries. Some were only
wounded and were running blindly about,
uttering crazed screams, the blood dripping
from their necks and heads; Others showed
great slashes as though they had been carved
with butcher knives, while yet others
: seemed to have been simply stunned to
death by the great paws, with no claw marks

MADAME GOWNS LAVsRLY
World Renowned Singer Who Comes
to Grand Forks Inspiration for
Reportorial Rhapsody.

Nine. Gadski's have been the
inspiration of reportorial Rhapsody.
and it is safe to say thai the prima
donna's attore at her forthcoming ap-
pearances will share attention with
her glorious voice. Commenting up
on Nine. Gadski's recent New York
recital, critics devoted not a little
space to eXpatiating on the Gadski
costume. The Evening Sun said:

1t must be thought, however, that
the prima donna's raiment absorbed
attention to the exclusion of her
singing. Referring to Nine. Gadski's
artistic misunderstanding which
the critics seem to have no differ
ence Of opinion-the Sun critic went
on to say:
"Gadski has added a lightness of
touch, a spontaneous human element
to her stage stock-in-trade since the
first German opera Years. In con
