which he kept rently on a tent in

The nurse refused to answer
any tjueMious for fear of e.xeit

nM (inestions to the conductor,
! ...i. 1 i . i .i
who, iiu saiu w.is ue(uuiiiieu
w tli the facts, nud could set nt
rest any fears as to his eliarge!-,
sanity.
Tho conductor was evidently
a man with a keen eye for dra
matis situations, and" was will
ing to make tho best of his op
portunities. When ho had gath
ered niot of the men at the
smoking end of the ear, he told
them the story of the fellow
passenger.
"That gentleman there,'1 he
nitl, "is .Mr. Kuftis W. (Jale, of
Xcw York, lie is a man wiio
hits nhvnys been devoted to
hunting, and he is lucky enough
to hnvu both the time and mon
ev to ("ratify his tastes. Ho has
been (low u in the everglades of
Florida all tho winter indulging
in his favorite pastime. About
a month ago he started North,
but hearing there was good
ntMirt to bo had in Liberty conn-!
tv, Cieorgia, he determined to
lmvo oho more hunt before hi.
closed the season. He wont
over to Dorchester and had his
hunt; since that day he has
been in his prosunt condition.
He told the story of what hap-j
poucd to him once, and the tell
ing of it niTcctcd him so badly
that ho has never been allowed
to repeat it, though it is evi
dently on his mind all the time.
When Mr. Gale had been in
Dorchester several days, a ne
gro reported having seen two
deer on the borders of the .Xlid
wus iwiiiip. He determined to
have n shot at them it hpito of
all advice to the contrary. The
gentleman with whom ho was
stopping told him that the .Mid
way swamp was a dangerous
place, ten miles bioad and one
hundred ami- lift milt s !on:,
infested with snat.es; he toM
him how, before the war, shiver,
had run away and hidden in it,
and would coiuo out and give
themselves up bufore they would
stay there; he told him to bo in
tho swamp after dark, was sud
den death to a white man. Hut
all this had no o fleet on .Mr.
gale; he was determined to go
there and hunt those deer. Ivir
ly the next morning he started
with his two dogs for the place
whero they had been seen. He
found that it 'was impossible to
get through the underbrush on
hoi'eeback, so he tied his hoio
to a tree. Before long the (logo
struck the trail, and their bay
ing echoed and ro-ecliood among i
tho great trees. The trail evi - i
dently ran into the .walnp, but '
the bitying of the dogs were sot
excited that he felt sure that
they were close to the animal
they were in pursuit of, and fol
low'cd the sounds without think
ing of whero he was lu'Ing led.
Suddenly tho baying stopped
and then he hurried forward he
hoard the bounds of a desperate (
eonlliit. As he drew nearer ho'
heard the dog growling sa age
ly,giving occasionally yells of
pain. Thinking no "deer could
eatuo such n commotion, he be
gun to advance more cautiously ;
all tho noise of the light stopped
entirely, and ho ki,ow that some J
thing mid happened. Finally,
nu ttn Innt'.wl int fi-i-iltl 1 141 1 1 lli I

vorite dog, uud on toj of it rvu
ding and tearing its llcah, was a
tiig panther In-tlung In suloiho had the nerve to keep per
with his long tail; a little way
olT lay the other dog completely
disetubowlcd in the last agonies
of death. Two bullets from .Mr.
tilde's title settled the panther,
and then advanced into the little
open space where the light had
tnlicn place. After burying his
dogs and skinning the panther,
he looked about to see what di
tto! ion he should take to get
back to his horse. While he
was busy with the 'panther
heavy clouds had rolled up, and
now "tho sun was hidden so that
he felt some doubt as to the di
lution he should take; he
thought however, that he know
tin; way he came, so he struck
out brnbely enough for home.
Uefore he had gone very far he
found the ground getting tofter
nud became convinced that he
was going in the wrong direc
tion. Several times he changed
his course but all his cllerls
seemed only to lead him deeper
and deeper into the swamp.
Soon it grew dark and the dis
tant matteriugs of npprt. aching
thunder tilled the air. The deep
shadows of the trees added to
the darkness nud he began fall
ing into the mud nml striking
against trees which he was una
bio to see. Suddenly with n
great renr the storm broke.

f-taggored forward. The weight j
of Ins drenched clothes seemed ;
to hold him back, and the fear
i of the falling trees drove him
on. hvcry instant ho was m
; danger of being struck down and
, crurdied. The brunches or trees
whit led past him and big pieces
' " hark struck him in the face
; as the force of the wind drove
them along.
Suddenly something struck
him on tho head. He felt him

ness. Whey he came to him
self the storm was over; ho
could hear tho distant mutter
ings of the thunder, but over
his head tho stars were shining.
Ileside.t him lay the bough of a
treo which must have struck
him as it foil. Tho deluge of
ruin had tilled tho swamp with
water, and he found he was ly

stagger about in search of a rest

drew its folds around his neck
and nested its head under his

there till tho day dawned, and
with thclight the snkes began to

back into the swamp. Insane
with fears he ran on, fortnately
in tho right direction, for he

In Horrible
From Inte advices from tho
weft coast of Africa it is learned
that a most revolting sacrifice
has just taken place in the into-
nor. t low moiling iiiro uu om
were aware that for a short time
after tho death of the old king,
w"e name nns .unpny mo ju
Ju, rites were performed, but
were under the impression that
these wore now over.
The horror of the ICnglish tra
ders may bo imagined when they
discovered, on their arrival nt
lCbo town, that tho hateful relig
ious ceremonies were still in full
swing. Thoy hnd been going on
tor two mouths, and already some
unfortunate blacks had been
sacrificed to appease "Jti-Jti."
On the nrrival of tho traders', tho
body of the old king was Htill ly
ing in an ohmi grave that bad
been dug for it. It was large
and deep, large enough to ac
commodate nine of the departed
ruler'H youngest wives, who had
been murdered in the cruel. 6t
maimer.
Kach of the wives had hnd her
ankles and wrists broken so that
she could neither walk nor crawl,
In this maimed coudit on, ami
sudering tho most excruliating
pain, tho poor crenturcs were
placed at the bottom of the grave,
seven of them lying side by tide.
The king's body was then laid on
them in 11 traverse direction.
Thou tho two remaining women
were laid by his side.
There they were left without
food or water to w.iit for their
kind lilierator, death, which how
ever, did 1 ot cr 111 to their re
lease until after four or live days
of int. use Htill'ering
In tie! nie.iiitinio four or five
men were statioi.cd around the
grave armed with clubs, ready to
knock backward any of the wo
men who. ib sjiito their tortures
and their p iin, might m.tu'gc to
orawl to tho si Ic of the pit.
Rut this wan not all. In other
parts of tho town other human
sacrifices were taking place Sus
pended from various trees were
the bodies of several men. They
too, were undergoing agonizing
deaths, holes having, in most cn
hoh been lored thn ugh th -ir feet
just by the ankles, and through
these holes ropes h id been drawn
by which the men were lit d to a
high tree, head do.uiwnrd, and
left to die.
The traders were also tinwill-
m!" w--c--'(-,,- of another frightful
sacrififinl execution. Noticing
I 11 iiiiiniiri ui nuuves mu lining in
a group, they went to the spot to
see whnt was going on. To their
horror, the white men snw n na
tivo tied by tbo feet and neck.
Tho rojo a'ttuched to the neck
was thrown over the limb of a
tree in one direction, whilo thnt
fastcnen to tho feet was tied to a
tree in the opposite direction.
The ropes were then druwu tight
ly, and when tho body was near
ly torn asunder a native- with n
hntehet struck at the neck, sev
ering the head from the body.
The head was then thrown in
to the grave where the king's
corpso was lying, and tho body
was eaten by tlio cannibal na
tives. TU tarKiVti, w)ivk limp-ai.
i bly sb ) ked at these (iemliuh
! practice-!, were jxiwerlcfiii to ntop
them, as the natives wottiu noi
brook the slightest interferencs
with their "jcligiotiH cntoinft''
and such interfetonco would hnvo
boon undertaken bv tho trndore
nt the peril of their liven. All
they could do wn to make their
I way b:ck to New Cnlnbrto nwait
the termination of the bloody
Jed that seven men would be unc-
riflced each month during th
next ten months.
