At length the little creature-perhaps cen. vinced of the truth by seeing the Hindoos begluing to take off the tigress's skin-dezisted from its fruitless efforts to arouse its dead mother, and running up to the Englishman nestled itself at his feet as if claiming his protection,
“Well," I can't stand that j” said the officer, pressing his lips hard together, The tigress had to die cf course; but it hard apos the cub. Poor wee thing

And then, lifting the little bundle of striped fur tenderly in his arm, the captain strode away through the bushes towards his tent, while his native followers-who had watched the whole proceeding with silent amazement--exchanged Curious-glances behind his back.
Seven years had passed since the day of the tiger hunt, and had brought many changes along with them. The young captain bad by this time risen to the rank of coleach, for the unsparing havoc wrought by the terrible Sikh War" had made promotion unusually rapid; and his adopted favourite, the little tiger cub, bad developed into a magnificent royal tiger," nearly nine teet long.
To all appearance, however, the young' Englishman had been perfectly successful ia his self-imposed task of tiger-taming Selira, us this strange pet was called, followed his master everywhere like a dog, look food from his hand, and slep: on a piece of matting outside his door at night-a pretty good security against robbers, Having never tasted human flesh, he had net acquired the untamable ferocity of the confirmed man-eater, and he showed himself friendly enough to all his master's guests, although he never manifested any special affection towards any one except the colonel himself, with whom he was so playful and caressing that the soldiers of the regiment had long since named him "the colonel's big cat"
a
Thus matters stood when the colonel and portion of his regiment were sent to occupy a frontier post at the toot of the Himalaya Moon. tains, in order to repress the devastating raids which the wild mountain tribes were making upon the peaceful inhabitants of the plain below. By some unfortunate oversight, however, the force told off for this duty was far too small to keep watch over so wide a stretch of country, or to cope successfully with half a dozen bostile tribes, even under such a leader as the colonel. In spite of all the young leader's precautions, the enemy were not long in finding out the in sufficient strength of the English, and at once prepared take adv•ntagé of It.
A week had passed since the occupation of its new post by the regiment, and as the seventh alght began to fall, ibe vigilant colonel felt more tuan usually anxious. He had been forced to send off a detachment In pursuit of one of the enemy's plundering parties, and this had so much diminished his niteady small force that if the Paharri (mountaineers) were to attack him now-as szemed likely - he would hardly baro soldiers enough left tô man the defences."
his will.
Altogether, matters were looking anything but sailsfactory; and the colonel, tired as he was after a hard day's work, started out soon after nightfall to make the sound of the entrenchment, and see for himself that all was right, leaving his pet tiger shut up at home, very much against All the men were at their posts, and seemed as fresh and ready for nation as they could be but the yourg commander was ill at ease, nevertheless. He leaned over the outer stockade, and looked keenly into the gloom (for it wai quite dark by this time), atralaing bis quick earn and eyes to the utmost.
Hark! what was that strange sound that he heard suddenly, or seemed to hese? Was it merely the leaves sustling in the night wind, or was it the stealthy fooifall of an advancing enemy?
"he colonel at ones bade his mes light the fire balls which his watchful case had kept in readiness, and the sudden glare revealed a mass of wild faces and dark figures and glittering weapons coming "n as swiftly and silently as the wild basis of their native Jungles, on all

The valley, poured at so short a range into such a dense mass of assailan #, made fearful havoc ; but it could only check for an instant the beideng rush of, the assault. Shrilly and horribly throu h the night air pened the car piercing yell of the mountain war cry, and the wave of savage faces and tossing arms and flashing sword-blades came surging up ogalist
the stockade.

So fierce was the rush of the assallants that the English soldiers had not even time to reload their picces before the enemy were upon thèm ; and then ensued such a hacking, and stabbing and slashing, and pounding with clubbed muskets, and grappling band-to-hand in the darkness, as the oldest soldies there had never

In the hurly-burly and confusion, the brave colonel, who had been in the thicke of the fight from the first, fighting like a lion, was separated from his own men, and attacked by four or five of the enemy at opcis.
The foremost assailant was struck down in an instant to rise no more, but with the force of the blow the colonel's sabre snapped off at the bilt, leaving him defenceless. In another instant all, would have been over, with him, but just then a tremendous roar was heard above all the, dia of the battle, and Selim, the pet tiger, who had escaped from als imprisonment, and had come in search of his master, fell like a thunder- balt upon the colonci's assailants, beating them down like 'bulrushes Deneath his mighty pawa and terrible fangs.

It seems that trousers originated in the Gaella. nations that, finally overthrew the power of Rome. When the Roman Emperor Aurelian led Teticus, the barbarian, triumph, the after was arrayed becomingly in a pair of three- dollar beacche, Boston not then having been founded and the word "pants" conarquently unknown. The fashion thus introdured into Rome was a plant of slow growth, the Romans believing that any division in the garment below the waist was a mark of effeminacy. Grado. ally, however, as luxury became rampant, the trouser-leg became more pronounced and clong trousers became the general cos- tum. Alexander the Great had a twist. In his neck. It was therefore fashionable for every one in the monarch'e court to cry his neck In the same way. The practice of the Cardinals of Rome of wearing red hats at ceremonial, and processions was introduced by Pope Innocent Vas a symbol to indicate the readiness of the Cardinals to spill their blood for Jesus Christ.
The man of powder originated in the Enry of a French mountebank, who dredged his head with flour in order to emphaela chix l-llocy.

His hair fell out "and hla physicians advised him to cover his hand with artificial hale which he did, and thas set the fashion. One di Francis I of France was struck on the chin 'with a piece of tile. Of course, the wounded part could not be shaved. Thus beards came into fashion, after having been out for nearly a centory. Once upon a time Charles VI, of France gave a marquerade ball. and be and five of his courtiers took the part satyrs. To do this artistically they were clothed in loose linen habits, besmeared with resin and then stuck all over with down. One of the com- pany, in a frolic, lighted one of the satyrs with a torch and, in consequence, four of them were burned to death. This is supposed to be the origin of the tar-and-feather custom.
