"Tide is how it happened. When we

self was almost teo itot to tottelt. 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.

"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

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

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

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

'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

.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

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.
