The jungle came down to within a very short distance of the place where I was staying. and the country lacked the very ideal of what a tiger Country should be; but i had never had the luck to get a shot at one yet, although for some time past there had been rumors that a tiger Was about. He had been seen here, and heard 0! there; he had carrried ofi a sheep in one place, and a bullock in another; but still no one had bean able to find out anything as to his actual whereabouts sufficient- ly definite to make it ol‘ any use our going afier him. But now, thoth I. O‘Dotvd must have got the bearings of the bast pretty ac- curately. I could have wished that Dennis had been a little less flowery and ‘tropical’ in his ac- count, but he always was a funny log; the drift of his letter was clear enough; and if the tiger’s having caught a Tartar was not a mere figure of speech, the animal must be a very fine one. The part about O'Fiaherty puzzled me a little ; il ltad always struck me that he and O’Dowd Were by no means warm friends; O'Flaherty was always chaifing O’Dowd, an! U’Dowd, always vowing venge- ance against O'Flaherty. But it was all fun, perhaps ; and O'Fln- herty was a great hand at tiger shooting, [dared to lav. At any rate,’ hurrah for the tiger? And i hurried oti'to Harrison‘s bungalow, where [found O'Dowd, with an expression oi the utmost determina- tion upon his face, drinking pale ale as if he mean it. ‘ Well, O’Dowd,’ said I; ‘ we‘re to have a shot at him at last, are we ?’ ‘ That we will, my boy,’ relurn- ed ()‘Dowd.

A few years afterwards the fact became fatally evident. Death, and 3 RM. examination, put it beyond all question.

Once for all. will you undertake the mat- ter? ’ ‘ I‘d rather be excused,’l said. ‘ Very good,’ said O'Dowd ; ‘then I wish you good morning. I'll go and call on O‘Grady.’ ‘Fur Heaven’s sake. my dear O’Dowd,’ said I, anxiously, ‘ don‘t be too hard upon him. But it as peaceably as you can.“ ‘ I knew you'd never spoil sport,’ said O’Dowd. ‘ Now, look here, Morley, you go at once to O'Fia- hearty and give him to understand that Irequire~ ‘Jusl what I'm going 30 do,’ said O'Dowd. ‘ You go to O‘Fla- herts’. and tell him that I require a written apology, which must contain a c-onlessinn that he was drunk at the lime of speaking. and a declaration ofhis fuli beiiei I've no more got chewbercles than he has.

Then I reflected that it they did not want a clerk, thev might want a labourer : but I was dress- ed too true for that. ] went to my lodgings and put on a rough garb. and the next day Went into the same store, and demanded if they did not want a porter, and again, No. was the response ; when I exclaim- ed. almost in despair, Sir, I will work at any wages. Wages is not my objectâ€"J must have em- p'oytnent, and I want to beanseful in business. These last remarkes attracted their attention, and in the end I was hired as a labourer in the basement and sub-cellar at a very low pav, scarcely enough to keep bod) and soul together. In the basement and sub-cellar I soon attracted the attention of the count- ing-house and chief clerk. 'i saved enough for my employers in little wastes to pay my wages ten times over, and they soon found it out. I did not let any one go about com- mitting petty larcenies Without re- monstrance and threats of exposure and real exposure if remostrance would not do. If! was wanted at three o’clock I, never growled, but told evervbody to go home, and I would see everything right.
