When he sought to creep up on the latter, llu > flew into the next tree. In following them, he came upon a conical mound of hard clay, nearly four feet high. ' Hello; this must he one of these white ant hills." lit said, and tie gnw the mound a kick. Instantly a tiny object whirred up and sit nek him in the face. "Wheel" he exclaimed, springing back and striking out. "A hornet; No; it's a bee!" "Did il sting jou?" cried Miss I,is lie. “Sting? Keep back; there's a lot more of ’*«. Sting? Oh, no; he only hypodermicked me with a red-hot darning needle! Shy around here. There's a whole swarm of the little devils, and they’re hopping mad. Hear 'em buzz!” "Hut where* is their hive?" asked Winthrope, as ail three drew hack be hind tin nearest hushes. “Guess they’ve borrowed that ant hill." replied lilake. gingerly lingering the white lump which marked the spot where the bee tiad struck him. "Wouldn't it be delightful if we had some honey?" exclaimed Miss Leslie. "By .Jove, that really wouldn't be half bad!" chimed in Winthrope. "Maybe we can. Miss .lenity; only we ll need a lire to tackle those buz zers. Guess it'll be as well to let them eool off it bit also. The cocoanuts are only a little way ahead now Here; give me the pot." They soon came to a small grove of coeoanut palms, where Blake threw down his club and bow and handed his burning-glass to Miss Leslie. "Here,” he said; you and Win start a lire. It's early yet, but I’m think ing well all be ready enough for oyster slew." "How about the meat?" asked Miss Leslie. "Keep that till later Here goes for onr dessert." Selecting one of the smaller palms. Blake spar on his hands, and began to climb the slender trunk. Aided by previous experiences, he mounted steadily to the top. The descent was made with even more care and steadi ness, for he did not wish to tear the skin from his hands again. "Now. Win." he said, as tie neared tlie bottom and sprang down, "leave the cooking to Miss Leslie, and husk some of those nuts You won’t more'n have time to do it before the stew is ready.” Winthrope's response was to draw out his penknife. Blake stretched himself at ease in the shad--*, but kept a critical eye on his companions. Al though Winthrope's lingers trembled with weakness, lie worked with a pre cision and rapiditj that drew a grunt of approval from lilake. Presently Miss Leslie, who had been stirring the slew with a twig, threw In a little salt, and drew the pot from the fire "Kn avant, gentlemen! Dinner is served,” she called gayiy. "What’s that?" demanded lilake “Oh: sure. Hold on Miss Jenny You'll dump it all." lie wrapped a wisp of grass about ilie pot, and tilled tl.< Quee coeoanut bowls. The stew was boiling hot; but they fished up the oysters with the bamboo forks that Blake had carved some days since By the time the oysters were eaten, the liquor in the bowl was cool enough to drink The process was repeated until the pot had been emptied of its contents “Say, hut that was something like." murmured Blakt If only we’d had pretzels and beer to go with it! But these nuts won't he bad." When they finished the cocoanuts Winthrope asked for a drink of wa ter. “Would il not lie best to keep it un til later?” replied .Miss Leslie. “Sure,” put in Blake. “We’ve had enough liquid refreshments to do any one. If I don’t look out, you’ll both be drinking river water. Just bear in mind the work I’d have to carve a pair of gravestones. No; that flask has got to do you till we get home. I don’t shin up any more telegraph poles to-day.” “Would it not be l est for Mr. Win thrope to rest during the noon hours.'’’ 1'raid not Miss Jenny. We're not on t'other sid of Jordan yet, and there's’ no rest for the weary this side." , “What odd expressions you use, Mr. make!” “Just giving you the reverse applica tion of one of those songs they jolly us with ill the mission churches—” “I’m sure, Mr. Blake--” “Me, too, Miss Jenny! So, as that's settled, we’ll be moving. Chuck some live coals in the pot, and come on.” lie started off, weapons in hand. Winthrope made a languid effort to take possession of the pot. Hut Miss Leslie pushed him aside, and wrap ping all in the antelope skin, slung it Upon her hack. rii< brute!" exclaimed Wlnthrope "To leave such a load for you, when he knew that 1 ran do so little!'’ The girl met his outburst with a brave attempt at a smile, • Please try to look tit the bright aide.

Shipments to the country Iasi week aggregated .‘i40 car loads, about the same as during previous week, but there was less call for expensive flesby feeders than here tofore. The hog market is holding up well, although packers occasion ally get in a good day, such an last Saturday, when a two day's sup ply on sale at Chicago furnished the excuse to hammer the market. Run here was 7$,000 head last week and the net loss was 1 1 cents per wt.. just about representing the loss of Saturday. Supply is 7000 head here today, market 10 higher, top $6.50, medium weight hogs at $0.15 to $0. !•>, lights $o.80 to $6.25, pigs $1.50 to -5.o0. It is currently reported that a spirit of econo1 y is abroad in the land, but in .-.aeh times pork gets more support that it loses as pork can be on a high level, and still be cheaper than other meats, because it gotjs farther. Astute dealers figure, therefore, that the tendency of hog prices will be upward.
