We had gon • into the interior more ifor sport than and thing else, caring very little whether w secured moregame than answered for on immnediaste waop ( not. ( Penetrating still furfher and furthe toward the Mexican dominion, we finall struck a barren, parched country, npoi which we-entered with some hesitation 'This looks as tough we shan't fitn any water,' I remarked, as we reined ou our hoges and took a survey of the aric plain. 'Does look rather skeery,' replier Stradling, taking his short, black pip fromi his mouth, 'but I guess we'lltryit It'll make a sort of variety to this eter nal tramping.' 'But will we do without water '? asked. 'Why, you see, thecre is water four oe five miles back of us; so we can go ahead for a day, and, if we can't find anything, why, we can turn round and snake back tracks. It'll go rather tough, but it won't hurt us. My idea,' continued the trapper, growing philosophical, 'is, that we never know what water is till we've gone two or three dias without it, just ae the only way to get a good, sound, re freshing sleep is to sit up for a couple of uightq.' So it was concluded that we shpuld tlaurenipof thal annhif n Sahara, a, giving rein to our horses, we struck oil upon an easy gallop. ,We say nothing of tiffalo or deer, and more than once I questioned the pru deuce of the step, but as we. were au" abed somewhat by. curioqity, I sd nothing, and we ptesied ,forward. We had an abundanee of dried meat, which no doubt wouldlast us all the time necessary. Now and then we caught sight of an antelope, Ibut they were very shy, and kept at a dliutance which placed them beyond all danger of our guns. As we were riding along, and had come to the conclusion that it would be intpos sible to secure any galme, I was sure I discerned a pair of antlers beyond a swell in the 'airie, and declared as much to tdy comspanions, but they only laughed at mte, and told lme to give ut the fool ish thought. I was certain, however, that I had really seen the animal, and, a three was a chance to procure son~ tlng pltabio fbr en suer, I assired them that I would do so. They told me to go ahead, while they reined their'ani male down to a walk and pursued their way more leisurely. However, the ante'lopes were 1000 feet dietant, upon a smooth, glassy slope. There was not the slightest covering to protect an approach, and I began to de hate with myself upon the best eourse to pursue. Should I imitate thecallof one d th ir iumw r th t&Atress ? There was soutethiug so inhutman in that that Ire vidted ~ thle thought, and took theidh sohttionthet no true hunter would de eceud to such oteanness. Shtuhl I tie my red handkerchief upon muy ramrod and take advantage of their curiosity ? They were too shy. Ah !an idea struck me. My eye sud denly rest edupon, a~ luish line runoinug aerobs the prairie beyond Where the ant muals were feeding. It wlas either a butf falo road or the channel of an arroyo; but, whichever it was, it was the very cover I wanted, and I determined to take immediate advantage of it. Retreating as stealthily fromnt the thick et as I had entered it, I hurried along the ldt4of tfe sloj~e toward a poul where I hail observed that the ridge was depressed to the level of the plain. Reaching this, to my still greater sur prise, I found myself on the banks of ia small arroyo, whose water slowly mean dered over a bed of sand and gyp sum. The banks were two or three feel above the surface of the stream, except where the ridges cause down upon the stream. Here was quite a high bluff, and, hurrying around its base, I stopped into the channel and comumenced.wading upward. This was quite a difficult feat, as the led of the creek was soft and yielding, and I was obliged to tread very cauti onuly and slowly, lest I should alarm the game. The antelope is one of the most timid of animals, and has a won d.lfrmilly acute sense of hearing--so much so that none but the most experienced hunters can approach him. After creeping along in this weari sonmi nmabuer focsseveral hundred yards I reached a small clump of wormwood bushes growing out on the bank. Think ing this might be high enough to an~ swer for cover, I concluded to take ad vantage of it. I slowly raised myself up and peered through the leaves. I had just the right place, and sighting at the heart of the buck, I pulled the trigger. The brute sprang up and dropped dead. I was on the point of running forward to claim the prize, when I saw the doe run up to its fallen mate ael snuff at it as if bewildered at the occurrence. Suddenly she seemed to comprehend the sad truth, and, throwing back her head, began utter ing the most plaintive and piteous cries, while she occasionally ran round the body, as if totally unable to control her grief. _ As I wafched the mournful actions of the doe, and heard its piteous cries, I i saw that it would be a mercy to kill it and end its misery. Actuated by what, perhaps, was a questionable humanity, I took a careful aim, pulled the trigger, and, as the smoke cleared away, I discovered the doe lying dead with its head resting upon its departed mate. BJothl are out of distress," was my comforting rellection, "and I have se cured a rare supper, with which I will tickle thbsoalates of my. two friends, ' and convince them that they are not the only ones who have a knowledge of t hunting-but what is the meaning of this o' I attempted to move, and found both feet fast. My first thought was that I had been stricken with paralysis, and a chill ran over me from head to foot. But no; I could feel the blood coursing to the remotest part of my system, and I tugged dke a giant. I tried to step, twisted to the right and left, wrenched my lhady, but all in vain-I was fast. Suddenly the truth flashed upon me I was sinking in a quicksana With this knowledge came a fierce resolve not to succumb. I would wrench off my feet before I would consent to die in this inglorious and dreadful manner. Snummoning all the strength - of which I was mnaster, I tugged and pulled and twisted with the furr of madness, and then paused exhausted, and fotbund that the only result was that I had sunk several inches deeper in the quicksand. The soft, clinging esand was arclady at the top of my boots, and had so wedged them around my ankles that it was impossible to pull them off. AllI Y the time I could feel myself sinking slowly and surely, as though some h monutster, deep in the bowels of the (1 earth, had grasped me by the feet and h was gradually drawing me under. n Almost beside myself with terror, I 1 shouted for help, and then laughed wildly at the idea of my voice reach ing any one. I was miles away from any person. The only living creature within hearing was my horse, and he T answered me with a neigh, as if sympa- 1 thizing with me in my despair. ' And now I tried to think coolly upont my position. Was there really no pos-S sible way of extricating myself I Stay ! h Suppose I should lay my rifle horizon tally across the sand, would it not pre- k vent my sinking I Perhape so; atl least I1 I should try it. t I looked around for my gun, but noth- tk ing of it was to be seen. That, too, ti alas! had sunk beneath the surface. n Could I dig my way out? No; the sand streamedl into the hollow as often as I tore it out with my frenzied fingers. I Could, I not lie tflat on my back, and thus stay my downward progress ? pI The thought was dismissed the moment it came to me. The water was eighteen ainches deep, and I should drownt at : once. Oh, heavens ! dying by this slow, at torturing process. The thought drovei me mad for the time. D After a while I became cool again. If w I must die, I must; and I aroused my- o self to tneet it manfully. I stood erect P sad fouad that a' back hod enaks to a ras the prairie level,.and I could' just see in. the victims of my heartlessness. MyI or- heart reproached qpe at the sight., Was' a tiot this a just retribution for tie, mis en- ery I had inflicted4 What right had 11 p- to shoot those poilr, thiodeent creatures ie who had never harmed me? Was it' 'pt not the final adjnusetient of just;ce that Ie I should be tnade td feel aid suffer the t, same pangs that Ilitad inflicted''upan id them ? g Suchl, amd familiar, were the thnnghts that coursed through my seething brains he 1 raised mny eyes to heaven, and almost g, expected to see a frown of divine anger ti- for the part I bad taken. But no }, the -m sun was shining as bright and the sky he was as cerulean and mild as ever. No; ,n- whatever transgressions I had comnmit eh ted, I knew there was nothing biut ,d forgiveness and love bending rover me, and, 1 prayed as only sinful man c:mn pray ii- when enconpassed by cortain death. Is But all the time I was sinking-sink id ing slowly but surely, and the' moment - could not be distant when I shduel be swallowed up and disappear, frrom view d- entirely, and those who should.omeit to if search for ule could only surnmise my I fate. I had taken my last fond look upon the e green, fair earth. I could onlly see the id blue, clayey wall which held l the trmeau, of and the water which ran unheoding by me. Again I looked tp at the blhie sweet sky, and then endeavored to resign it myself to my fate. Bait I could not ; the SmemIories of the fair earth and my past , pleasures and friends canme so vividly - over nie that I found myself continually t s bursting into struagliug spasinms to es- ° d cape, but all equally fruitless ats were I the first feeble attempts to walk. In the midst of this racking sspriensb I was startled by the shrill neighing of my horse. At first this gave ine indiseriba- u it ble distress, as I could not avoid con trasting his free situation with my own. But suddenly a bright-thought linhed . over me. Could not my horse. resoue me? He was tied to a frail cactus limb which ' he could easily break if lie chose. With out losing time-for time was never so C i precious-I uttered a call which I had it often used to bring him to me ; then lis t toned with an anxiety which it is useless ci I for me to attempt to depict. Suddenly v f I heard the sound of his hoofs, as though a he were struggling to free himself, an It h the next moment I recognized his well I known trampl), and knew that he was it approaching. Then he suddenly ap- ci e peared ounhe bank, and, looking down 11 at me, uttered a joyful neigh of recog- iii nition. a Peculiar attachment exists betweeen the hunter and his horse, and it was a di habit of his, whenever I called to him, to I gallop up to me and press his nose against my cheek. Reaching out my ni hands toward him, in my usual caress- tit ing manner, I repeated the call. The rr next moment he botmded down into the ni channel, and 1 caught him by the bridle. Time was becoming fearfully precious. Cý I was already down to my waist in the water. I seized the lariat, and, pressing it under the saddle-girths, senured, it in afirm knot. I then made a loop and passed it around nmy body. Heaven bless the noble horse! The tears well to mny eyes when I rollect. upon the grand creature to whom a few years ago I gave an honoralrel grave in the broad prairie. All the time I believvo he comprehlnded my sore strait, and un- a dlerstood poefectly what was rerquired of him. He knew, too, the treacherous nature of the ground upon which ha e stood, for while waitig hlie continued lifting his feet and sliglhtly changing his 1) position to provent his sinking. Fi nally, g I had my arrangements completed,aid I gave the word to the horse to mnove. The intelligent animal stepped off slow ly, pulling gradu:ally, but inexpressible joy, I felt mny body raising, and in less than a minute I was pulled out ol the sand, upon the hard, clayey bank. Thank 1 heaven! and my true, tired, noble horse ! I threw my arme arouud his neck anld, kissed him, and shaonted for joy. And had I not a right to do so I And did I do more than my duty when i refused all offers to part with him, anut kept him with all the care and kindness that I would have r' nursed a feeble parent It _ _ _thl F-rom a Distinguished Physician. wi no Professor Green, a distinguished allo- be pathic physician, wrote to the Medical ret Record of Atlanta, Ga., to the effect in that after all other means had failed, he th I seunt for the Kidney Cure (Safe Kidney cri oand Liver Cure), and to his astonish- in ment cured a serious case of Bright's I Disease by administering it, and after- pr wards found it equally beneficial in CA other cases.
