MONDAY, JUKE as, 190O. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. 0 500OtOtO0000OtO06 PFrrii?FP; By NORA BRYANT J0OtOOO0OOOOtOOO Down in tho forest of the southwest there urn certain rejjlons whore one never venturci to stroll without a rllle, Ind whoro, even with a rlflo, 0110 keeps in eye ojmu for cllmlmblo trcc, Vor Bern are found peccaries; peccaries hy tlio ontw, twos, and !ty the hundred! the ferorloti! wild pig; the one anlmul from which tin experienced hunter will run. Waluwrlht had been tofd all thin Every Inhabitant of tho ranch had tnk ii uiillinlted satisfaction In detailing to tho youiiK KiiKllMlimiiti tho horror of a "donth by pwenrlea" and In Im prennlnif oil him the inotui! hy which uch death could bo avoided. But walnwrlk'ht only mulled knowingly, Ho had heard ttcforo of tho way Une Americans llko to fublu to a tenderfoot. llo did not propose to swallow every thing. Kven Hilly, thu old tlmo chum on whose ranch ho wni spending a few mouth!, felt It hi! duty to utter n word or two of warning, Hut Walnwrlght was only politely bored. Tint aim who very dearly that winter .morning. After tho day! of raw rain! and mists that had preceded It, tho womln, brown and aoddun, seemed beautiful to Walnwrlght. , Ho !wung along, hi! pipe going llko furuaco, hi!

Ho wim trumping through tho wood! for tho Englishman's tnero lovo of tramping. The sodden leave! under foot yielded up a damp, earthy ainell that was very pleanant to thla earth loving man, Tho tree! rtiKtled lu a cumpnnlonly way; a rabbit or two scurried through tho buha; hi tobacco had Just tho right flavor, and Walnwrlght would have been very contented had It not been for hi! roimtnnt thought of liltly's sls- tor. Tiling! had been going on hen title ally until tho silly quarrel of yettter day, and now ho never would have tho "FAB TEH. J AN IT. FASTER I" PAHTKD WADI- WIUOUT. courago to ask bcr If alio would adopt England for a permanent abiding place. Ho stopped and atoopod to tie hla shoe. Aa he atralghtenod himself again he heard n tentative "Ooft" near hy. A rough coated pig was atandlng a rod or bo from him, watching him with ugly little eyes. "Hello, piggy!" said Walnwrlght gen ially. "Aro you ono of tho peccaries I hoar aucti ahnmoful talcs about? Thoy ought to bo ashamed to malign auch a harmless Uttlo chap as you." Ho relighted his pipe, picked up his rlflo and started toward the peccary. "Out of tho wny, Mr. Tig," ho said. Tho pecenry did not stir. "Oof! Oof I" ho said. "Oof! Oof!" wus answered from a nenrby bush, and "Oof! Oof!" from half a dozen different directions. Out trotted half a dozen rough coated little fellows with a businesslike gait and grouped themselves about tho first comer. Their watchful gase was a trlllo disconcerting. Walnwrlght hit his plpestem a little nervously. "By .Tovo," ho said, "this Is rather embarrassing! If there Is nothing I can do for you gentlemen, perhaps you will step nsldo mid let me puss?" And ho took a resolute stop forward. The peccaries, with little grunts, held their ground. All this time their number had been steadily augmented until Wnlnwrltfht was facing fifty of the u;,!y Uttlo brutes. He looked about. "Gads, I guess the natives were right, and Billy was not stulllnt? me. after all; at least ns far as tho brusts' numbers and attentlveness go. I cer tainly am not going to t."y to shoot nt aa closo rango ns this The brutes might charge." r WHa 4nnnt tit- mwiniitin .1....... n ltfrtl. Alio wiviuuDt uvi;iuj uirw 11 uim? nearer.

Their dark Uttlo bodies, swarming un pleasantly cloao, made him think of a tale an East Indian soldier had told him of a man who was eaten alive by counties! iwarm of black spiders. He looked at their alarming, champ ing tusk! and stepped slowly back ward. The peccaries circled In closer, and Walnwrlght stopped, lifted hi rifle, took deliberate aim and fired at the louder. There were loud "Oofsl" and a quickening forward of tbo whole mesa. ' ' Walnwrlght recoiled Wily' warning: 'Remember that when you strike a herd of poccurlc you are up ogalnat a new proposition. They fear nothing on tho footstool. When you !trlko a herd Just forget that you ever hunted elephant! or tigers, drop your rlflo and run for tbo nearest tree," Walnwrlght gave a last glance at the hundred cruel eyes fastened on him, dropped his rifle and gave ono spring to tho trunk of the nearest tree, barely escaping the forward rush of tho pec carlcn, A moment later ho was seated In the burst crotch, breathing hard, with the peccaries pawing, grunting and rooting below him, "I wonder how long this will Inst," he thought. "If little Jane could see mo she certainly would think I was getting my punishment for being so surly this morning." For an hour Walnwrlght lat in his uncomfortable position, trying to And olaco In his pipe aud growing more and more Irritated. Tho peccaries seemed untiring In their vigilance, and he shuddered at the possibility of fall ing among them If ho dropped asleep. Far off through tho woods be could see a lino of snake fence.
