teach us to do voluntarily what the fear

They are the fountain-heads of the vir

fatherly scourge. How frail a thing is
health,' ami what a thin envelope protects
our life against being swallowed up from
without or disorganized from within ! A

to have just escaped from the claws of
that vulture which we call illness. 1 he
foundotion and the heightening of all
things is the graveyard. The only-certainty
in this world of vain agitations and
endless anxieties is the certainty of death,
and that which is the foretaste and small
change of death pain. As long as we
turu our eyes away from this implacable
reality, the tragedy of life remains hidden
from us. As soon as we look at it face to
face, the true proportions of everything
reapjx-ar, and existence becomes solemu
again. It is made clear to us that we
have Ih-cu fni volous and petulant, intracta

wrong. We must die am give an ac
count of our life: here in all it simplicity
is the teaching of sickness ! " Do with all

Rigell, eight "or ten shots were fired and
the former was killed. The duel origi

helped himself to a carbine, some-powder
and bullets and several pounds of dried
dates, and dashed offin thedirecticn in which
he judged the French army lay. But in
his impatience he so sorely overtaxed his
already jaded steed that it fell dead le

midst of th'e desert
Nevertheless, the1 fugitive stumixxl stur
dily onward till quite exhausted. Daylight
was now fast failing. Night the lovely
night of eastern climes ; cool, balmy, bril
liantly starlit was at handy But he felt
too faint to mnjinue his journey. Luck
ily he had reached a hillock crowned, by a
cluster of palm trees. Here, utterly fore
spent, he stretched himself -on a bhx-k of
granite and quickly fell asleep.
He was roused by the scorching ray's of
the sun heating u mm his granite couch
which lay eastward of the palms, out of
the shadow of their leafage. Aroumbhim
lay a sea of sand. On every side the fiat
horizon gleamed like a narrow rim of bur
nished silver. On that horizon hot
speck! No sight or sound to break f he
drear monotony and silence. He shouted
as if to guage its intensity. His voice
awoke no echo save in his own sad heart
Squatting down Inmeath one of the palm-
trees, he twiued his arm around its Inileas
if it hail been the body of a friend, ami
his thoughts wandered to his native land.
After a while he shook off his day dream
and began to explore the hillock. Judge
of his joy when, at the foot of the slope
opposite that by which he had mounted
yesterday-night, he discovered a natural
grotto in the granite rock, showing traces
of human habitation. In one corner of
it lay a tattered mat and a broken cala
bash. Hard by," moreover, grew a grout)
-of palms, which, unlike those upon the
mound, were laden with dates. Knock
ing down a few clusters which hung within
reach of his carbine; he greedily devoured
them. Their size and flavor convinced
him that the trees must have beed care
fully cultivated: by the occupant of the
grotto. -What if he should revisit his
forsaken dwelliug? This idea filled the
soldier with fresh courage, and he spent
the rest of the day in hacking away at the
trunk of one of the barren palms, that he
might have material wherewith to barri
cade the mouth of the cave, in which he
meant to sleep, against the wild beasts who
might come to slake their thirst at the
spring that bubbled up amid the sand near
the grotto. But, though he worked with
a will, the sun had set before the palm
tree fell with a tremendous crash that
sounded like the death-groan of a giant.
No hewing it ;up that night! So he
stripped it of its leaves and mended the
mat with them. This done, he stretched
himself on it, and was soon snoring be-
ieath the ruddy roof of the damp cave.
At dead of night he started up with a
strange noise ringing in his ears a noise
of some animal. Presently he discovered
amid the gloom two faint gleams of yel
low light; and as he strained his eyes to
pierce the darkness, the cave seemed to
grow lighter, and he beheld an enormous
beast tiger, lion, what? crouching with
in two yanl of him and blocking his exit
from the cave. Half paralyzed with fear
he sat up, holding his own breath and
listening to that of his unwelcome com
panion. Ere long, however, the setting
moon, flooding the cavern with its level
rays, revealed to him the dappled skin of
l i i i . i u:
a nuge pauinei, us neau towaros mm,
though its eyes, whose gleams had scared
him, were now closed.
Escape being impossible, to shoot the
animal as it slept was his. first impulse;
but it lay too near for him to bring his
long carbine to bear. Twice he clutched
the hilt of his scimitar to behead the crea
ture at one fell blow. But the thick, short
hair which clothed its neck might have
blunted the blade of Saladin himself. And
to strikFin vain would be certain death.
No, he preferred to wait till the panther
woke, come what might.
Daybreak enabled him to examine his
four-footed jailer more closely. The stains
of blood upon his jowl and paws showed
that it had supped. Then it would not
wake ravenous: that was one comfort
For the rest, it was a magnificient animal,
with a snow-white belly and haunch; tail
of the same hue, but encircled at the end
with glossy black rings; paws white, and
barred like the tail. The remainder of the
coat was of a rich dull gold color, dappled
with spots characteristic of this species of
.. . I'l l '
tne genus tens, uagea, mis spienaiu uem
zen of the forest would doubtless have won
the soldier's unqualified admiration. But
here ! For a moment he quailed. Yet his
manhood soon returned, and he resolved
to sell his life dearly in the coming contest.
His suspense was short. The moment
the sun UDrose. uprose the panther with a
stretch and with 7a yawn which .revealed
its wholearmory of ivory fangs. 1 hen
flinging itself on the sandy floor of the
grotto, it rolled pver and over, rose, shook

At this moment the panther turned her
head and caught sight of him. But, lot
instead of springing at him,; she slowly
neared him step by step'. He riveted his
eyes on hers as if to mesmerize her. A
she lowered her huge head he raised his
daeeer to sheath it in her neck. But in
stead of fastening her fangs in him, the
i
red as a jmhuiv.
" Aye, aye, my hearty!" muttered the
soldier. " That's all very well, now ; but
how when you liegin to feel Mrki-h?" .
He now bethought him of tcMmg the
extent of his liberty by walking alni( tlio
hillock. The panther jealously eyed his
movements, hut made no attempt to dog
his footstejis. Presently he .spied, clo-e to
the spring, the mangled careai of ;his
horse, more, than half devoured, vet with
enough flesh left upon the hones to ntlord
the panther another meal. Ior the next
twenty-four hours, then, he might M-rIjiap
reckon on retaining her allii tions ; mean
time he resolved to spare no pains to cul
tivate her good graces; On returning to
the smt where he had left her, he jaw,
with uiispeakahlc delight, that she grej;:t-d
him with a wag of the tail, whiehthe
state of her larder considered,' he felt jus
tified in attributing to pure affection;
By ti grotesque association of ideas some
thing in the asicct and nioveineifts of this
lithe and Uaiiiilnl animal reminded the
soldier of his first sweetheart, : w hom, 'by
j'eason of her ' ferociously jealous di-Vosi-
tion, he had ironically niekiiaiii sl " laml
kin." This hanie he now playfully U-
stowed on tile panther, and dot aid evening
she had grown so iK-ciistouiei to it rhat
whenever hit uttered it she turned to look
at him. . '
At sunset Lambkin opened her inasivc
jaws ami bade the, sinking orb farewell in
a scries of howls quite mu-icul i-oiiiuiied
With the grating tones of her-ordinary
cry.
"Ah," cried the soldier," 1 see you've
been well trained, Miss Limbkin! You
are singing your evening hymn. Yet I
think, on the whole, I'll let you ' turn in'
first, and possibjy seek a night's lodging
elsewhere."
The sun had scarcely sunk, ere the
panther slunk into the cave. The soldier,
though itching to be gone, di-cim-d it pru
dent to linger outside for half an hour.
He then set off at full speed in I lie direc
tion of the Nile. But he had reckoned
without his guest! When haTcly half a
mile from thenmond he heard lambkin's
harsh cry, ami, looking back, saw her
rapidly gaining on him. Another minute
and she was at his side.
"Extremely flattering this, I'm sure,"
he muttered. " Yet I think "
Ere he could complete the1 sentence he
found himself struggling in a qnick-iptd.
Meanwhile the panther jK'ihaps warned
by instinct had' suddenly halted. '.But
she now sprang forward, ami, fastening
her teeth in his coat collar, lugged him
out of the slough with a vigorous back
ward leap.
Ah, I.amhkin! he exclaimed, with
unfeigned enthusiasm. " AW we are'
hand-and-glove for life," and he quietly

Meantime, to attract the attention of ant
chance wanderer who might pass that way,
he had ehoped the boughs from one of the
barren palms and hoisted his shirt a4o
of the bare pole, with a stick thru-t nito
the sleeves to keep it displayed. On

Fortunately the shot, took no effect, and,
with a look that seemed at once to reproach
the soldier for forsaking her, and for allow
ing her to be maltreated, the panthpr
bounded away, and was soon out of sight
