THE BALLOON TREK.
CHAPTER I.
The Colonel said:
We rode for Beveral hours straight
from the shore toward the heart of the
island. The sun was low in the western
sky when we left the ship. Neither on
the water nor on the land had we felt a
breath of air stirring. The glare was
upon everything. Over the low range
""of hills miles away in the interior hung a
few copper-colored clouds. "Wind'
said Briery. Kilooa shook his head.
Vegetation of all kinds showed the ef
fects . of the long continued drought.
The eye wandered withoat relief from
the sickly russet of the undergrowth, so
dry in places that leaves and stems
crackled under the horses feet, to the
yellowish brown of the thirsty trees that
skirted the bridle path. No growing
thine was green except the bell-top cao
tus, fit to flourish in the crater of a liv
ing volcano.
Kilooa leaned over the saddle and tore
from one of these plants its top, as big
as a California pear and bloated with
juice. He crushed the bell in his fist,
and, turning, flung into our hot faces a
few grateful drops of water.
Then the guide began to talk rapidly
in his language of vowels and liquids.
Briery translated for my benefit.
The god Lalala loved a woman of the
island. He came in the . form of fire,
Bhe, accustomed to the ordinary temper
ature of the clime, only shivered before
his approaches. Then he wooed her as
a shower of rain and won her heart. Ka
kal was a divinity much more powerful
than Lalala, but malicious to the last
degree. He also coveted this woman,
who was very beautiful. Kakal's impor
tunities were in vain. In spite, he
changed her to a cactus and rooted her
to the ground under the burning sun.
The good Lalala was powerless to avert
this vengeance; but he took up his abode
with the cactus woman, still in the form
of a rain shower, and never left her,
even in the tlriest season. Thus it hap
pens that the belltop cactus is an unfail
ing reservoir of pure, cold water.
Long after dark we reached the chan
nel of a vanished stream, and Kilooa led
us for several miles along its dry bed.
We were exceedingly tired when the
guide bade us dismount. He tethered
the panting horses and then dashed into
the dense thicket on the bank. A hun
dred yards of scrambling, and we came
to a" poor thatched hut. The savage
raised both hands above his head and
uttered a musical falsetto, not unlike the
yodel peculiar to the Valeis. This call
brought out the occupant of the hut,
upon whom Briery flashed the light of
his lantern. It was an old woman, hid
eous beyond the imagination of a dvs
peptic's dream.
"Omanana gelaa !" exclaimed Kalooa.
"Hail, holv woman !" translated Briery.
Between Kilooa and the holy hag there
ensued a Ions colloquy, respectful on his
part, sententious and impatient on hers.
Briery listened with eager attention.
Several times he clutched my arm as if
unable to repress his anxiety. The wo
man seemed to be persuaded by Kilooa's
last she pointed toward the southeast,
slowly pronouncing a few words that ap
parently satisfied my companions.
The direction indicated by the holy
woman was still toward the hills, but
twenty or thirty degrees to the left of
the general course which we had pursued
since leaving the shore.
"Push on ! push on I" cried Briery.
"We can afford to lose no time."
XI.
We rode all night. At sunrise there
was a pause of iiardly ten minutes for
the scanty breakfast supplied by our
haversacks. Then we were again in the
saddle, making our way through a
thicket that grew more and more diffi
cult, and under a sun that grew hotter.
"Perhaps," I remarked finally to my
tacitnrn friend, "you have no objection
to telling me now why it is that two civ
ilized beings and one amiable savage
should be plunging through this infer
nal jungle, as if they were on an errand
of life or death?"
"Yes," he said ; "it's best you should
know."
Briery produced from an inner breast
pocket a letter which had been read and
re-read until it was worn in the creases.
"This," he went on, "is from Professor
Quakversnch of the the University of
Upsale. It reached me at Valparaiso."
"Glancing around as if he feared that
every tree fern in that tropical wilder
ness was an eavesdropper, or that the
hood-like spathes of the giant caladiums
overhead were ears waiting to drink in
some mighty secret of science, Briery
jread in a low voice from the letter of the
great Swedish botanist:
"You will have in those islands," wrote
the Professor, "a rare opportunity to in
vestigate certain extraordinary accounts
given me years ago by the Jesuit mis
sionary Bateaux concerning the Migra
tory Tree, the 'cereus vagran3' of Jan
senins and other speculative physiolo
gists." "The explorer Spohr claims to have
beheld it; but there is reason as you
know, for accepting all of Spohr's state
ments with caution.
"That is not the case with the asser
tions of my late valued correspondent,
the Jesuit missionary. Father Buteaux
was a learned botanist, an accurate ob
server, and a most pious and conscien
tious man. He never saw the Migratory
Tree; but during the long period of his
labors in that part of the wprld, he ac
cumulated,from widely different sources,
a mass of testimony as to Its existence
and habits.
"Is it quite inconceivable, my dear
Briery, that somewhere in the range of
Nature there is a vegetable organization
as far above the cabbage, let us say, in
complexity and potentiality, as the ape
is above the polyp? Nature is continu
ous. In all her scheme we find no
chasms, no gaps. There maybe missing
links in our books and classifications
and cabinets, but there are none in the
organic world. Is not all of lower Na
ture struggling upward to arrive at the
point of self-consciousness and volition?
In the unceasing process of evolution,
differentiation, improvement in special
function, why may not a plant arrive at
this point and feel, will, act -in short,
possess and exercise the characteristics
of the true animal?"
Briery's voice trembled with enthusi
asm as he read this passage.
"I have no doubt," continued Pro
fessor Quakversnch, "that if it shall be
your great good fortune to encounter a I
specimen of the Migratory Tree de-r
scribed by Buteaux, you will find that
it possesses a well-defined, system of real
nerves ana ganglia, constituting, in iacc,
the seat of vegetable intelligence. I con
jure you to be very thorough in your
dissections.
"According to tho indications furnish
ed me by the Jesuit, this extraordinary
tree should belong ! to the order of
Caetaceae. It should be developed only
in conditions of extreme heat and dry
ness. Its roots should be hardly more
than rudimentary, affording a precarious
attachment to the earth. This attach
ment it should by able to sever at will,
soaring up into the air and away to an
other place selected by itself, as a bird
8hi ts its habitation. I infer that these
migrations are accomplished by means of
the property of secreting hydrogen gas,
with which" it inflates at pleasure a
bladder-like organ of highly elastic
tissue, thus lifting Itself out of the
ground and off to a new abode.
"Buteaux added that the Migratory
Tree was invariably j worshiped by the
natives as a supernatural being, and hat
the mystery thrown by them around its
cult was the greatest obstacle in tho path
of the investigator," j
"There!" exclaimed Briery, folding
up Professor Quakversuch's letter. "Is
not that quest .worthy the risk or sacrifice
of life itself? To add to the recorded facts
of vegetable morphology the proved
existence of a tree that wanders, a tree
that wills, a tree, perhaps, that thinks
this is glory to be won at any cost! The
lamented Decandolle of Geneva "
"Confound the lamented Decandolle
of Geneva?" shouted I, for it was exces
sively hot, and I felt that we had come
on a fool's errand. j
in.
It was near sunset on the second day
of our journey when Kilooa, who was
jiding several rods in advance of us,
uttered a quick cry, leaped from his fad
die, and stooped to the ground.
Briery was at his side in an instant. T
followed with less agility; my joints
were very stiff, and; I had no scientific
enthusiasm to lubricate them. Briery
was on his bands and knees, eagerly
examining what seemed to be a recent
disturbance of tho soil. The savage was
prostrate, rubbing his forehead in the
dust, as if in a religious ecstacy, and
warbling the same falsetto notes that
we had heard at the holy woman's
hut. j
"What beast's trail have you struck?"
I demanded.
"The trail of no beast," answered
Briery, almost angrily. 'Do you see
this broad round abrasion of the surface,
where a heavy weight has rested? Do
you see these little troughs in the fresh
earth, radiating from the center like the
points of a star? They are the scars left
by slender roots torn up from their shal
low beds. Do you see Kilooa's hysteri
cal performance? I tell you we are on the
track of the Sacred (Tree. It has been
here, and not long ago."
Acting under Briery's excited instruc
tions we continued ) the hunt on foot.
Kilooa started toward the east, 1 toward
she west, and Briery took the southward
course. ' j
To cover the ground thoroughly, we
agreed to advance in gradually widening
zigzags, communicating with each other
at intervals by pistols shots. There
could have been no more foolish arrange
ment. In a quarter! of an hour I had
lost my head and my bearing in a thicket.
For another quarter of an hour I dis
charged my revolver repeatedly, without
getting a single response from east or
south. I spent the f remainder of dav
light in a blundering effort to make my
way back to the place where the horses
were; and then the sun went down, leav
ing me in sudden darkness, alone iu a
wilderness of the extent and character of
which I had not the faintest idea.
I will spare you the history of my
sufferings during the whole of that night
and the next day, and the next night.and
another day. When it was dark I wand
ered about in blind despair, longing for
daylight, not daring to sleep or even to
stop, and in continual terror of the un
known dangers that surrounded me. In
the daytime I longed for night, for the
sun scorched its way through the thick
est roof that the luxuriant foliage afford
ed, and drove me nearly mad. Tho pro
visions in my haversack were exhausted.
My canteen was on my saddle; I should
have died of thirst had it not been for
the belltop cactus, which I found twice.
But in that horrible experience neither
the torture of hunger and thrist, nor the
torture of heat equalled the misery of
the thought that my life was to be
sacrificed to the delusion of a crazy
botanist, who had dreamed of the im
possible. The impossible? j
On the second afternoon", still stagger
ing aimlessly on through the jungle, I
lost my last strength and fell to the
ground. Despair and indifference had
long since given vay! to an eager desire
for the end. I closed my eyes with in
describable relief; the hot sun seemed
pleasant on my face as consciousness de
parted, j
Did a beautiful land gentlewoman
come to me while I lay unconscious, and
take my head in her lap and put her
arms around me ? Did she press her
fce to mine and in a whisper bid me
have courage ? That was the belief that
filled my mind when it struggled back
for a moment into consciousness; I
clutched at the warm, soft arms and
swooned again. j
Do not look at each other and smile,
gentlemenjin that cruel wilderness, in my
helpless condition, I; found pity and be
nignant tenderness, j The next time my
senses returned I saw that something
was bending over mo something majes
tic if not beautiful, humane if not hu
man, gracious if not woman. The arms
that held me and drew me up were moist
and they throbbed with the pulsation of
life. There was a faint, sweet odor, like
the smell of a woman's perfumed hair.
The touch was a caress tho clasp an
embrace. i
Can I deseribe its form? No, not with
a definitenees that j would satisfy the
Quakversuches and the Brierys. I saw
that tho trunk was massive. The branches
that lifted me from the ground and held
me carefully and gently were flexible
and symmetrically disposed. Above my
head there was a wreath of strange foli
age, "and in the midst of it a dazzling
sphere of scarlet. The scarlet globe
grew while I watched it, but the effort
of the watching was too much for me.
Remember, if you please, that at this
time physical exhaustion and mental tor
ture had brought me to the point whero
I passed to and fro between conscious
ness and unconsciousness as easily and
as frequently as one fluctuates between
slumber and wakefulness during a night
of fever. It seemed the most natural
thing in the world that in my extreme
weakness I should be beloved and cared
for by a cactus. I did not seek an ex
planation of this good fortune, or try to
analyze it. I simply accepted it as a mat
ter of course, as a child accepts a benefit
from an unexpected quarter. The one
idea that possessed me was that I had
found an unknown friend, instinct with
womanly sympathy, and immeasureably
kind.
And as night came on it seemed to me
that the scarlet bulb overhead became
enornionsly distended, so that it almost
filled the sky. Was I gently rocked by
the supple arms that still he'ld me? Were
we floating off together into the air? I
did not know or care. Now I fancied
that I was in my berth on ship, cradled
by the swell of the sea; now. that 1 was
borne on with prodigious speed through
the darkness by my own volition. The
sense of incessant motion affected all my
dreams. Whenever I awoke I felt a cool
breeze steadily beating against my face
the first breath of air since we had landed.
I was vaguely happy, gentlemen. I had
surrendered all responsibility for my
own fate. I had gained the protection
of a being of superior powers.
IV.
"The brandy flask, Kilooa!"
It was daylight. I lay upon the
ground and Briery was supporting my
shoulders. In his face was a look of be
wilderment that I shall never forgot.
"My God!" he cried, "and how did
you get here? We gave up the search two
days ago."
The brandy pulled me together. I
staggered to my feet and looked around.
The cause of Briery's extreme amaze
ment was. apparent at a glance. We
were not in tlie wilderness. We were at
the shore. There was the bay and the
ship at anchor, half a mile off. They
were already lowering a boat to send for
us.
And there to the south was a bright
red spot on the horizon, hardly larger
than the morning star the Balloon Tree
returning to tho wilderness. I saw it,
Briery saw it, the savage Kilooa saw it.
We watched it till it vanished. We
watched it with very different emotions,
Kilooa with superstitious reverence,
Briery with scientific interest and intense
disappointment, I with a heart full of
wonder and gratitude.
I clasped my forehead with both hands.
It was no dream, then. The Tree, the
caress, the embrace, the scarlet bulb, the
night journey through the air, were not
creations and incidents of delirium. Call
it tree, or call it plant animal there it
was! Let men of science quarrel over
the question of its existence in nature;
this I know: It had found me dying and
had brought me more than a hundred
miles straight to the ship where I be
longed. Under Providence, gentlemen,
that sentient and intelligent vegetable
organization saved my !ife.
f At this point the Colonel got up and
left the club. He was very much moved:
Pietty soon Briery came in, briskly as
usual. He picked up an uncut copy of
Lord Bragmuch's "Travels in Kerguel
len's Land," and settled himself in an
easy chair at the corner of the fire
place. Young Traddles timidly approached
the veteran globe trotter. "Excuse me,
Mr. Briery,' said he, "but I should like
to ask yon a question about the Balloon
Tree. Were there scientific reasons for I
believing that its sex was "
"Ah," interrupted Briery, looking
bored, "the Colonel has been favoring
you with that extraordinary narrative?
Has he honored me again with "a share
in the adventure? Yes? Well, did he bag
the game this time?"
"Why, no, said young Traddles.
"You last saw the Tree as a scarlet spot
agiinst the horizon."
"By Jove, another miss!" said Briery,
calmly, beginning to cut the leaves of
his book) New York Sun.

The rapid growth of the popularity attained

California fruit into a medicinal remedy. That

LAUGEI.Y CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH
Of those who ennsame them. After careful analy

was discovered which diO'ered in many charac
teristics from any medicine now in use, and as
sessing among others, the following enumerated
properties:
First Being a health imparting medicine.
Second An excellent, mild cathartic; no as
tringent mineral poisons entering into its com
position. "Third A rnedieine not debilitating or causing

Fourth Ueiug pleasant to the taste, compara

worth in combating the eflects on the system of

In addjtion to the foregoing, it is an excellent
tonic, and as such has received the unqualified

Of this city, as is shown in recommendations
published in our advertising columns of this
lasue. Success has crowned th- introduction of
Fruit Salt into every family where it has found
its way. Thousands there are of sedentary hab
its who have in vain sought health iu patent
nostrums of doubtful reputation, who now are
assure ! and feel satisfied they have discovered in
the use of Slaven's California Fruit Salt a very
pleasant, safe and effective family modicine. It
produces no deleterious effects whatever, does
not debilitate or weaken the system, being ex
clusively vegetable iu its composition, and en
tirely devoid of Hisonous mineral properties it is
necessarily health-imparting.
The discoverer of the saline, cathartic and in
vi -orating medicinal properties in California
fruits, II. B. Slaven is a skilled pharmaceutist,
and after years of careful study as an analytical
chemist has perfected several very valuable
medicinal discoveries, which are now world
wide in their use and very popular, but" none arc
to be compared for intrinsic merit to the
CALIFORNIA FRCIT 8 ALT.
The Examiner fully iudores all that ha? been
said relative to this essence of our ripe California
fruit. It is meeting with a most hearty welcome
from all portions of tho coast where it has been
introduced. In Panama, Central America and
South America it is used very generally, its
health-giving and invigora'iong properties being
highly appreciated, particularly iu the tropics.
In conclusion, we might state that as a family
medicine it is incomparable, and its use seems
invariably to bo attended with the most gratify
ing of results. It is a sovereign remedy for
headache, constipation and dyspepsia. As a
blood purifier its effects are marked: its action
on the kidneys is an excellent one: it cleanses and
reinvifforates the liver, and towaru all tne orgaua
of the body its tendency is to; restore them to a
condition of public health. Each half-jound
bottle of the Fruit Salt contains about forty doses
and iis price is nomiual, putting this excellent
remedy within the reach of all.
Iu fine, this discovery of IF. B. Slaven is one
of the grandest triumphs of California skill, and
while it is, as he richly deserves it to be, pecun
iarily beneficial to its discoverer, it is certainly a
laurel upon the brow of our young State, being a
California discoverv and manufactured entirely
