Isee you think i'm tneking tun of you., hut I'm not, indeed ; end etad when you hear the story, I think you'll agree with me that I have good reason to value it, tigly as it bloke. "Tide is how it happened. When we .erst earns out to India, my buebaed was sent to make the Survey of the Net.. Inulda Valley, one of the wildest hit- ill all Central India; and we really were, just a first, the only white people with. in forty or fifty miles..

And as for the native workmen, I never saw suolt a set—always doing everything wrong, aud never lilting anybody to put them right. When the railway was be- ing made they used to carry the earth on their heads in baekets ; and when &Ir. R.— served out wheelbarrows to them, they aoteally carried them on their heads toe sante way if there was a wrong way of using anything they'd be sure to find it out. Even oue but. ler, or Jeltitetalyar, who Wad much bet- ter than moo, of them, came one day and begged a pair of old decatiter-lehele hushaild was going to throw away ; and when the watt came it, next tn• icg, he had poeitively turned them in- to ear-ringe, mid went about quite gravely 'Port' in oce,ear alai 'Sherry' in the other I "However, if the native men worrie I tme the native beasts were fifty times worse. It was no joke, I can assure you, to be awakened at the middle et ahe night by a roar of it tiger elo ^e en - ,der the iudew, or by an obedient trashing and trumpeting thyouge the jungle with a noise like a mail coech going full gallop into a hot.house. Well •ils that Was eves, the jackals wotild sst up a speeding a»d evhimpering like so tnany frightened children ; and then a dreadful native bird, Whose name I've never found ont (1 8 upgiuse because no body could invent one bad enottult for it), would break out into a succeeeion of the most horrible cries—jitst like .somethiug being murdered, until the eaoise fairly drove me wild. "And then the ant! bob you've seen them for yourself, and I needn't tell you about thorn. Bat all this while neglecting my story. One day (it will be loug enough be- fore I forget it) nay husband was out oe usual at his work, and the nurse had gone down to the other native servaute at the end of the"componnel,"as we call this big encloeure ; and / was left atolie in the house with my little &Emile you der, who was then jest about a, year -old. By this time I had got over my first fears, and didn't rnind a bit taiing left by nayself; indeed, all the I.iwer windows having bars seroes them 1 tthought that I was enfe enough ; but. I little dreamed Of what wee coutieg 1 "I mats': have been itting over my .sewing nearly an hour with the child playing about on the emir bellied me, when suddenly I heard a dull thump overhead as if eotnettting had fallen up. on the roof. I didn't think anythieg of it at the moment, for one soon gets used to all sorts of strange doundti in .the Indian jangle but presently, Lthought I could hear a heavy breaking iu tue next room but one, and then I began to feel frightened in earnest. I rose As softly as 1 cenld, and crept to the doorway between the rooms. Thi., aloorway was only closed by a curtai :and gently pulling aside the f Ads, I peeped t4irough—and foul d myself within a tew paces c.tf the largest pan- ther I bad ever seers lin my life I For one moment it was jest as if I had been frozen stiff, and then the thought ame to me just as ii'soniebody had spoken it: 'The big c'eeetT I knew that this chest would laelti Ate anti my ezhild easi/y, and, that It (mid leave a echink of the lid open to let RA bteathe, 'for the overlapping edge would save tny fingers frem the ranther. Li a second 1. had it all clear before me; 'but had the bruee not atopped short at the sight elf the curtain., should never have had atehiance of trying it. Lucki- ly for me, tlie Indian panther, savage ,as he is, is tt, terrible coward, and AN .suspicious as any dea,,ctive. I've seen .one go round and rouind a trap for more thau Milt an hour, before he anode up his mied to spring at, the bait. So, while my friend was puzzling hitn- 4self over the cudain, and wondering whether it was meant for a trap or not, took up Minnie (who, poor little pet, steamed to blow Mire was something wrong, and Mawr 4tterecl a bound) and into the cheat I erepi, making as little noise as poseihle. "1 Watl hardly settlei, there Whets I heard the 'sniff entre( the tatither .00ming right itip 'whtre I lay, and TELE TIMES 3 through the chink I bad left open, the hot, foul breath of the panther came .

Still, the touch of Minnie's artn around my neok s 'mod to give me courage. othit, there wadi worse than this to come ; for the panther seddenly leaped right on top ot the chest, and his weight ereseed down the heavy lid up- on my fitp,ers, wail the paiu was so terrible Ow, unable to stand any longer, I screitmed with all my might. "The ecream was answered by a f hout, front just outside ; wnich recognized my intsband's voice, The panther ard it, too, and it seemed to sears him, for he made a dash for the window,either forgetting or not noticing the iron bars ; 'Adjust as he reached it, there came the crack of a ritle,and I heard the heavy brute fait suddenly upon the floor. "I heard afterwards that Mr. R— IM happened to want seme instillment which he bad left at the house ; and, not wishing to trust it in the hands of eny of the natives, he came beck for it himeelf—luckily, just in tinae, for the bellet from his rifie killed the pan- ther. But, as you bee, my hand is pretty stiff yet." GETTING ALA.BMED.
