First our dog killed, then our nude. What next?" said my partner, Bill Maguida'. He and I stood lookiug. ruefully at our pack-mule, Andy, lying dead on the open grassy space lu which our cabin stood. The mule had been feeding quietly about his picket-pin in the morning, when we started out to visit our traps, and the picket-piu was driven beneath . the great sycamore in front of the p cabin. Now we had come back at night to find Andy killed, his throat torn, his kan?t?h* partly* devoured by some beast of prey. Deep claw-marks were on his back and shoulders; his' . neck had been broken at its 'jointure with the spine by a terrible bite. The loss of the mule was a serious one to us, Magruder and I, an ex-army scout, had been with General Crook !n his campaign against, the Tonto Apaches of Arizona, and so wc had . found out the natural advantages of . the sheltered Tonto Basin with its ex tensive timber forests, numerous streams and soft, equable climate. Now that this vast valley was clear of Apaches, Magruder and I had en tered it in September, built a perma nent cainpon Tonto Creek near the foot of the Mogoll?n mesa, and prepared to pass the autumn and winter there, hunting and trapping. in th? middle of October we bad' cur" lines of traps out and were'getting a fair amount "of fur, when>ur first . stroke of bad luck came-pur dog, H?ctor'? ,'had been carried away. He had been useful in our huuting, and we "."Titfff relied on him to give"~?s~rnn?y notice of any person or. ^dangerous beast that should" approach the camp. Hector's disappearance had not seemed mysterious. One dark night Sgf?e ran out of the cabin with a growl the mule had previously been uneasy. "'Half-waking. Ilieard the dog" .bark . s loudly. Theu I heard a gf owl, "deeper ; '..and moro *i?*:*g? than-any* dog 'could ' give, mingling jfith"one shriek and strangled moan from Hector. ; . Magruder and I jumped to our-feet " caught up our rifles, and threw open tte door. The'mule was snorting and -stamping with f?arjot-the end of his ~ "picket-rope, but of the dog there was no sight or sound. We heard some j large, toft-footed animal bounding ^away io the darkness in long leaps. .t \ We made no doubt it was a roountaln ; 'Boh, although rain 'later Ih the night blotted out all tracks.. ^ A week went b} and here was our mule killed probably by the same crea ture that killed Hector It could not be a grizzly, for there were no tracks to be seen -Such) as a bear's great feet and .protruding claws would have made. We def-idetl that the mule,'?, too? had been killed by a mountain-lion- a lion of uncommon size and strength, else it could nor so easily, have-carriedoff a large dog and killed a powerful mule: "Hunt the varmint down!" I t-aid) In answer to Magruder, as we 'stood by the'dead mule. "I'm afraid :we can't do much at that without dogs.** "Well, it is rather late to bi going. . after him now. He's got ?everything." w? had to lose-unless he comes for one of us, next : time," .Joy partner spoke withi.seriousness, .so' unusual in him that I Jooked.-hard af; him, and then he 'laughed the thing away and mentioned no other foreboding. That night we liad made our pre parations to receive the lion if he came back to the dead mule. We took turns in watching, but no lion? came. So we dragged the festering carcass away from the camp the next day, and left it to the wolves and foxes. Magurder, usually one of the cheer iest and most indomitable of men,, was _ -evidently greatly disheartened by our bad luck; and he even proposed that we pull up stakes forthwith, and go back to white settlements. -. But'I said, "We're here, Bill, and we're doing well. We're . trapping - lots of fur. and we can kill all the meat . we want to eat. It will be no more of a tramp to foot it out to the settlements next spring than to do it now. Let's try it a month or two longer, anyway. We can catch our furs when we go. _: ..and come back for them afterward *f?th an outfit of pack-mules." .<? "Alf right,!' he said. "Stay It Is." As the week wore on. Magruder's d? pression seemed to vanish, and he re sumed his old-time cheerfulness. But ; one night in camp, just as I was dtop . ping off to sleep. Magruder started' and . said to me, "Do you bear-that sound?" I listened. Presently from some where up the canyon side came a wail ing, de?p-throated cry, which was re peated at intervals. "Yes, I hea'r it." I said. "Ifs a mountain-lion-if it isn't an owl. Pity we haven't another mule for him to chew up!" "It's a different note from a lion's cry," said Magurder. "The beast tha,t's( making that sound is the ene that killed our dog and mule. "Something has just come .nto m? mind that the Apache scouts told me once," he continued. "It's about ja guars.'

But before I weut quite to sleep I heard my partner moving restlessly in his blankets and niutteriug; He was in good spirits thc next morn ing when we started out to make the round Qf our traps. It was ona of those exquisite autumn days which, in the higher levels of Arizona, open with frost and are sunny ?and'warm at noon. We separated at the forks of the creek, Magurder taking the south and I thc north branch. I had the longer route, and I found two minks, and an otter to skin; so when I got back to the forks, near the end of the day, Magurder had bent some twigs in the direction of the camp to show mc that he had gone on down the creek toward the camp. I went on, following the route he had taken. Tresently, In a place where the grouud was soft, I came upon Magru der's tracks and something more. A line of tracks followed Magruder's; they resembled the tracks of a moun tain-lion, and the breadth and depth of the imprints showed the" creature to bo of uncommon size. Step by step it had; crept along, cat-fashion, until it had crossed a marshy place, in two or three enormous bounds, when it had. resumed its stealthy gait ? I had got to hard ground, where the tracks were 'faint when I caught sight of a man in Mexican costume crossing the valley a short distance ahead ,of me. It- was Jose Bonifacio, a"'Mexican Indian who had served as scout; a?d .trailer in Indian campaigns with mer imd he recognized .me. . I mo tioned for 'him to come to nie, and showed him. the-tracks in the soft ground. He examined them carefully." This man- was not to be errslly fright ened, but there was something like fear in hT face as lie spoke in his brok en English. "You go 'way," lie said. ".Go 'way from Toiito. Xo - leon make them tracks. You know' wliat?'* His voice lowered, and he put his hand on my acu, looking around as' If fearful of being overheard. "I know that fellow heap in Sonora. He Very bad. El diablo, we call him. He .follow that man all day, never touch bim. . When dark come, he kill him. That man your partner? You hurry 'long lind him. Then you two stay together. Go 'way!" his voice sinking into a whis per. "Go 'way. quick!" .l, ; . "What do you mea v Bonifacio2'*' I asked, impressed by the scriousucss of his manner. "Do you mean to tell rae that these arc not a mountain-lion's tracks?" '. *.'.. The half-breed had the savage's common superstition against'pronoun cing the name'of a creature' ?hat is.

"Co.me- down to the cabin and spend the night," I said; but-the half-breed shook his head. The shadows of night' were fall'ng as 1- hurried down the- valley. After w?iat Bonifacio had said, I was natur ally anxious about Magruder, although I knew bc had plenty'bf time to git to the camp before. dark. Moreover, my partner was well-armed and little likely to be caught off his guard by an enemy, man or beast'? I came into the'open space before the camp in the last light from 1 he western sky. Before me the syca more, with half its leavW still upon it, towered above the shadow beneath its wide-spreading branches. The cabin door was open, so Magruder bad re turned.But where was he? Ah! What is that under the sycamore, lying out stretched and still in the deepest shadow? Certainly thc form of a man, and he lay as lie the dead. I cocked my rifle and looked around me. Nothing threatened from the ground. I gazed into the tree, but could detect there nothing unusual or suspicious. Slowly I walked tpward the outstretched form "until" I ca nie to the edge of the shadow ?beneat.'i the sycamore. . . .' There ^ I paused at ? slight sound that came from among the branches a soft, brushing flip-flip, flip-flip. It came from a great forked ? -branch) that overhung tho path. Now .that 1 my attention was drawn to this limb. I thought it looked unusual new''??.the fork. There lt seem?d to be" .much thicker than elsewhere in its length; but looking closely. I could see noth ing that Indicated danger. "It is nothing." I said to myself, and made another step forward. Then I saw,-it! The formless thick ness of the bough, all af once shaped itself to my, eyes in its true appearance -the bbiigh and the thing upon lt. I saw two phosphorescent "sjiots, not easily to be discerned ni long the yel low leaves. ' I saw these werevliving eyes lii'-n -huge, catlike h-nd resting .;.pon th*'forks ur the branch Behind, flattened upon the bough, go that it seemed a part of it, was a long body whose mottled colors merged in those of the spotted bark and the leaves and their shadows. The soft flip-flip ping noise Was the curling in and otit Of the tip of a supple tail among the leaves. The. beast tiiiit had killed my partner was waiting for me. There Was hot a moment to los?. As I threw my rifle-breech to ruy sliou'.der I saw the great head lift, the cars draw sharply back, the phosphorescent eyes redden to burning flame. Twice I tired, first at the shoulder, then, without aiming, at thc living thunderbolt thnt came through the air upon me. crush ing me to the earth. A frightful growl filled my ears as something bit aud tore me-tlie rest was darkness. I came to my senses lying on my back^on the ground in the coolness of the autumn night. Through the leafy bra^'Les overhead the moon and stars were shining. My rifle was clutched in ray hand as I lifted my head and looked around, not realizing at first where I was or what had happened. It all came back to mc as I gazed upon the form of a savage beauty, the splendid markings in black and yellow of the jaguar that lay near me. Just beyond the beast I saw the form of my partner, his white face upturned to the moon. You can see the scars made by the jaguar's five claws down the side of my face, and there are other marks of his claws on my arm and chest I haye not been able to lift my left hand td the top of my head since he crushed my shoulder that night-and thes? wounds he gave me in his dying struggle, after my second shot had pierced his brain. If Bonifacio had not come in time I should have been lying under the sycamore now with Magruder.-Youth's Companion. > _ THIS IS A MAN'S MITHOD.

The foreigners with mustaches, when they came te China excited much curiosity, and thc unusual sight justified them in ask ing the ages of the bearded men. A few days ago Upper Sandusky, Ohio, was visited with an immense swarm of flying ants, which had the effect of compelling merchants in cer tain districts to discontinue business. The merchants had no time to prepare for the onslaught, and had trouble to get the insects from their stores that they might be closed. The ants wera supplied with long, transparent wings, and only remained for a couple of hours.

He trill learn td make himself understood lu almost any foreigri language in iess th?? half the time it' requires ari Intelligent Englishman or American tb make him self understood in any one of the many Chinese dialects. This disparity has led td Some" curious anomalies in the trade Of the country. Thus at ali the open ports trade with foreigners is carried'oh by means of middlemen; or agents, who are always natives. They are called "compradores." If a foreign merchant wishes to buy tea, silk, porcelain'or other articles of native product he must do so through his "compradore." If he wishes to sell any article of foreign product to a native house ho must again call in the "compradore." The "compradore" employs all the servants of the for eigner's establishment, fixes their sal t Oil WHICH THE UPRISING IN CTTTNA WJ "aries and is responsible for their ho'i esty..

He goes to another "hong" and another and another, but always with the same result. No one has anything to sell! All are behind with their orders! Let the foreign dealer return to bia office and send his "compradore" on thc same errand, and his orders will bc promptly filled. Tills is so in every department of business where foreigners are con cerned. In all of the treaty ports tlie financial affairs of every foreign house practically are in the hands of the natives. Foreign merchants cannot hope to reach the market except through a class of middlemen. This is the irrevocable custom of thc coun THE TOMBS OF TnE KING DYNASTY. try. Thus commerce has utterly failed to break down tlie barriers be tween these strange people and thc outside world. "It was at Chln-Klang," writes the American Consul in his notebook,"that the peculiar lantern .custom of tl;? Chinese was brought to my notice.
