Joj, savage and unrestrained, prevailed

jubilant hosannas. or their Igorrote
equivalent, from warriors and their ma
trons and maidens.
And the causes of all this riot of re-"
Joicing yelped and howled dismally
through the beatings of the ganzas and in
the midst of the revelry, for they saw
their finish. These causes were six cap
tive dogs tied to the posts of the Igorrote
quarters in the Cuartel.
After nearly two weeks of enforced
fasting from puppy steak and dog soup
the tarnished head-hunters are at last to
bo regaled with their cherished viands.
Six dogs have been obtained, where or
bow is kept a dark secret, and the dog
kllllng time is contingent on how soon the
canine victims shall have been fattened
for the feast.
But four of the dogs are to be sacrificed
to the finicky cppetltle ot the Igorrote
gourmands. All six wero secured tor the
purpose of being served at a great feast

hunters shake the dust of St. Louis from
their bare heels.
The two dogs which possessed the sav
ing sift of good looks are a beautiful
marked nater spaniel and a fuzzy Skye
terrier. The four yelping victims all be
long to the (feat yellow mongrel family.
Just now the latter present a gaunt and
unappetizing appearance, but with tender
care and careful feeding the natives bops
to have them ready for the slaughter very
soon.
In the meantime the Igorrotes, men and
women, old and young, big and little, are
all l the seventh heaven nt bliss over
the promised feast, and at each sidelong
glance directed toward their captive meat
they lick their chops in unctuous anticipa
tion. When the dog feast will take, place Is
a matter that Governor Hunt will not
divulge, but he says that it wUl certainly
happen, whether the Humane Society will
or no.
"We are 300 yards outside the city
limits," says the Governor, "and conse
quently the gratification of the Igorrote
appetite with the beloved dog-meat is not
a matter with which the Humane Society
has any concern. The natives like their
dog morsels as well as the members of the
society like their lamb chops and beef
steak, and they shall have It."
