I have often flattered myself that, backed as I am by constantly meeting new faces and the opportu nities for reading character, which it is necessary for a fellow on the road to improve, there are few persons who can size a man up more quickly than I. I had noticed several times, during my stay at the hotel, a fine-looking man, who always came into the dining room just at the close of the dinner hour. He was about 45, with iron gray hair, dark complexion and verv kqhfck and, piercing black eyes, He had a queer scar on one 'cheek; the flesh was torn in three parallel lines, and in healing had left three white- marks about half an inch apart and two inches long. I never saw him tip the waiters, nor did I ever see a man re ceive more obsequious attention from them. He had but to turn his eyes on one of those darkies, and they would fairly jump to show their alert devo tion. He had rare taste in the selec tion of his repast, and when that was chosen and placed before him it always looked as if it had been guided by in tuition, for it was invariably the best there was in the house. "One morning I 6at opposite him, struggling with a very tough piece of steak, when, with a kindly smile, he said: ' 'Will you permit me to send for a better steak for you? You notice, per haps, that I have had some success in obtaining a good one for myself,' and he pointed to his juicy bit of tender loin. " 'You may, said I, 'for you always have better luck than anyone else. "He looked up every waiter was in an instant ready for instructions. Se lecting one with his eyes, he simply pointed to my much-mangled steak and quietly resumed his breakfast. He had scarcely done so, when the darky returned, bringing the; most' delicious piece of meat I have ever seen before or since.' " '.The next day was Sunday, and after dinner I was wandering aimlessly about, when I espied my friend in the reading-room alone. His feet were on a low window-sill, and, with his chair tipped back, he was looking thought fully into the street. I entered, and taking a seat beside him, fell into con versation. We had chatted some time, when I said: " 'You will pardon me, sir. I have some reputation as a , physiognomist, and, having noticed your marvelous control over the waiters, I have formed an opinion of your character and voca tion which is very complimentary-' "'Indeed?' 1 " 'Yes; I replied, 'and with your per mission I will tell you what it is, for I am curious to know if I have reached the right conclusion. " 'I would like you tell me very much, he replied, for I em always curious to know how I impress stran gers.' "'Well,' said I; your quick, quiet step, your absolute coolness, your pow r of enforcing obedience and the strong outline of your nose would in dicate . the 'general, but your eye is too quick,, and .your mouth, with the corners indicating curiosity, tempt me td believe that you are a great traveler. ' I" will Ven' venture to say you are a hunter who has sought the largest game. Shall I call you an 'Allan Quar termain,' or an explorer who has striv en to benefit the world by discovery in Africa?' " 'Well done,' he answered. 'I am neither an 'Allan Quartermain' nor an . explorer, but I have been to Africa. I I f fThn frfluijhid orped a sort of proceasion,' and were marching toward . clump of trees about 600 yards Ln lland, where they proposed to leas the chijdrerl to be devoured. I was aimed with; my repeating rifle, a very fine weapon of 48 caliber; a cutlass, and a very long and strong Zola spear. Skirting the wood wjth great, caution, I was rapidly approaching the trees where the procession had now arrived, ' when I found I must make a long de-. tour to avoid a swampy mud hole, into which I came very near falling. When 1 succeeded in reaching the spot where the children had been left it was very dark,, and the Zulus had gone. Ths poor little things were tied to a tree, which stood apart from the clump about 23 feet. They were a boy and a girL The boy was gagged, and the ; poor little girl was in a dead faint from fright. I was about to cut them loose, ' when a thundering roar, so near that the ground trembled, made me clutch my spear in horrified surprise. I dared not fire my heavy rifle, except as a last resort, for the report would surely bring the Zulus. I looked toward the brush and saw two eyea, which glowed ominously In the darkness. I placed my spear against the tree, and hold ing the point in the- direction from which the lion must springj awaited the attack. " 'He evidently saw the point of the spear, for he moved uneasily from side I to side, as if seeking a chance to jump by it. I followed his motions, till, with an angry snarl, he sat upon his haunches, thus showing his intention to jump over it. For a moment he was motionless, and then, good heaven! he came. As he went into the air, I moved the spear quickly under him. He came i down upon it, breaking it in an instant, ) His great paw struck me' he put his I finger on the queer scar on his cheek 'and I fell with awful force against the little girl. The lion lay motionless, for the spear had entered his heart. " 'I, with some difficulty, extricated myself from under his heavy body, which lay across my Jegs. I found the girl stone dead, but the boy was un hurt, and I could see by his staring eyes, which showed white even in that dark ness, that he appreciated his terrible position. " 'I cut him loose, but left the gag in his mouth, for fear he might cry out. I placed the littlefellow on my back and set out for the boats. When I reached the edge of the mud hole, I heard the bushes crackling and knew at once I must face a new danger, and a second growl told me it was the other lion. nasienea on, ana naci lust reached a narrow strip of dry clay between the bushes and the mud hole, when I saw the tell-tale eyes. I got as near the edge of the slimy swamp as possible, and began to have some hopes of es cape, when she sprang at me with ter rifle force. I sprang down and towards her, hoping she would jump over me She did, and not striking me as she ex pected, she hit her nose on the hard clay, and .turning a completed somer sault fell upon her back into the mud hole. In an instant I dealt her a blow with my cutlass, which added to her confusion. I struck her again, but she dashed the weapon from my hand, and turning over, began to struggle through the soft mud. . I knew she would be out and upon me in an instant. I had no recourse but to use my rifle. I took a quick aim, fired, and she fell dead, but whether from the shot or the tremen dous blow I had dealt her with the cut lass, I could not say "'I picked up the boy, who had fallen in the struggle, and fairly ran toward the boats. I could, however, make but slow progress in the dark' ness, and besides my wounded face caused me great agony. I had almost reached them, when a tall Zulu loomed up in my path, and the moment he saw the boy he sprang before me. There was no time for hesitation now. I raised my rifle and fired. He gave a frightful yell, and in a moment I found I was pursued. I rushed on and down the bank, just as the foremost Zulu reached the top. I sprang into the boot, which, was pushed off at once, and amid a shower of spears we made our escape. I left the "boy at a villag er's where I knew he would be well treated, and soon returned to America.'
