The firing, unfortunately, was a signal to the Indiana near the river bank that we were moving, and we could see the gleam of their rifle-barrels as they ran towards us. There must have been three hundred of them round about us, and we were only eix. I don’t know how the other fellows felt, but all my nerves seemedlatrung like wire: as we galloped along.

A rattling volley from a little thicket we were nearing passed right amongst us, and I saw Curly’s right arm fall limp and heig- less by his side. The bright cheeks hlenc - ed, but he never uttered a sound, and I saw him let his pistol fall and put his sword be- tween his teeth as he tore along: The Parson was swearing at the top of his voice and slashing like a butcher as he stood high in his stirrups, and we went on neck and neck, like a rolling wave. We were within half a mile of the water now, and the spurs were jamming hard and fast. Oh, if we could only make it I Another volley and Curly fell forward on his saddle, but was up a ain in a moment, ghastly white and with t e blood pouring in torrents from his mouth.

The rest is quickly told. “’6 got Ifloet and dropped smartly down the stream, liing flat on our faces to lessen the danger o be- ing his by the shots the enemy kept drop- ping at us.

Not a man was hurt but Curly. Why was it that he aloneâ€"the bravest and the bestâ€"should have been sin led out for such a death? His arm was s uttered, and a bullet had gone in at his back between the shoulders. He was in agony and we had not a comfort to offer him. We laid our tnnics on the rough log knots, to make it softer for him, and the Parson pulled his shirt and socks off to make a pillow for him. Freuchy tore his shirt into strips for band- ages, and Peter used his to cover up the pc or cold feet. Yes, Curly was dying. He groaned with in, but he never complained, and although K: could hardly speak he smiled at us to thank us for what we had tried todo for him. There were few words spoken as we drifted on, and when the great moon rose in ablaze of silver light she looked down on one hard sight that night: a litttle log raft dancing on the water, and on it six weary men. blood-stained, half-naked, dust-begrim- ed, and one of them with glazing eyes fast traveling to the farther shore from which no man returns. Just before midnight Curly s ke. “Good-bye,” and the boys nelt round him in a group and took his hands. The tears were trickling down their faces, who would themselves have died without a trem bio. “ I'm going, boys; good-bye." And then he put his hand up to his neck and showed the little chain he always were, and which he used to call his dog collar. “ (iivc it to her b -aud-by," he whispered. “ Dear little Jean e,” and then he fell back exhaust- ed. lie was so white and still we thought him dead, but soon he spoke again. “ How dark it is i Well done, l'arson.

It is essentially a forest animal, its true habitat being among the fallen leaves in the deep shade of the trees by the banks of streams. Now, in such a position, at the distance of a foot or two, its appearance so exactly resembles the forest bed as to be almost indistinguishable from it. I was once just throwing myself down under a tree to rest when, steeping to clear the spot, I noticed a peculiar pattern among the leaves. I started back in horror to find a pufl‘ adder of the largest size, its thick back only visible and its fang within a few inches of my face as I stoope . It was lying concealed among fallen leavesso like itself that but for the exceptional caution which in African travel becomes a habit I should certainly have sat down upon it. and to sit down upon a puff adder is to sit down for the last time. I think this coloration in the ufi‘ adder is more than that of warning, and t at this semi- somnolent attitude is not always the mere attitude of repose. This reptile lay length wise concealed, all but a few inches among the withered leaves. Now, the peculiarit of the pufl‘add er is that he strikes backwar . Lying on the ground, therefore, it com- mands, as it were. its whole rear, and the moment any part is touched the head doubles backward with inconcelvahio swiftnees and the poison fangs close upon their victim.
