THE PAINT PAUL 3)AILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, ISO2.— TEN" FAGHS. \XJ HIS HORRIBLE FRIEND, How a Traveler in Central America Was Saved by a Gigantic Ape. Attacked by Outlaws in a Country Where Life Is Very Cheap. Rescued From Death by an Animal Which He After- ward Shoots. Kost Singular Adventure That Befell a Traveler in the South. Why 1stopped in Panama on my re- turn from my trip to South America is a mystery. The quaint Spanish fashion of the old city interested me, and I found it difficult to tear myself away, s.ivs a writer it the New York Dispatch. When 1 was ready to leave, my brief sojourn in the country had inspired me with so much confidence that 1 eagerly embraced the suggestion of my land- lord to cross tlie isthmus on horseback. ••Take it leisurely,'' he said; "follow the old road. It touches various points along the canal. You can make the journey in a couple of days, and you wili not mind spending a night in one of De Lesseps' villages." Now the canal was a pet hobby of mine. 1 was anxious to see how it was progressing. Beside. 1 had a friend who was one of the contractors, and I wanted to pay him a visit. The next morning I mounted a gentle mustang, furnished by my host, and set iut for Aspinwall, the Atlantic port, where 1 intended to take the steamer. As 1 wished to reach the camp of my friend Jackson by midday, 1 rode rap- idly during the morning. At one place the road ran along in sight of the canal for half a mile. Here 1 saw a scene not to "be matched any- where on earth. Enormous machines wire at work excavating thousands of tons of dirt, and countless wagons were employed removing the loose earth. My- riads of workmen swarmed everywhere, jabbering to each other in all the tongues it the known world. Among them were men from all the countries of Europe— Americans, Africans. China- men, West Indians and Malays. The fierce looks cast upon me by these fel- ows alarmed me, but 1 pretended to be icalm spectator of the animated scene. Due of the contractors was about, and from him I learned that I would find Jackson about live miles further on. "Are you armed?" asked the con- tractor. I told him that I had a revolver. "You will probably need it before you reach Aspinwall," said he. "You ire passing through 30,000 of the worst cut-throats that were ever collected to- gether." After hearing that 1 had a great mind to return to Panama, but the dread of being laughed at mane me decide to push on. Assuming a determined, business-like look, 1 put spurs to my mustang and ambled through the mot- ley gang of laborers until I had the sat- isfaction of leavine them behind me. Fortunately, 1encountered no obstacle, Riid Jackson's camp was made just in lime for dinner. Here 1 was safe. Jackson was a big fellow, whose men were nearly all Americans. He was delighted to see roe, an J gave me a capital dinner. Dur- ing the two hcurs that 1 SDent witli him 1 filled him full of news, and he, on ttv# other hana, told me a lot of wonderful things about the canal. He made no secret of his conviction that the enter- prise would drag alone for years, but as he was making bushels of money,the de- lay played into his hands. As I declined to stay all night with himjackson gave me some directions about my route, and at my departure confided to me a pack- age containing $10,000, asking me to de- posit it for him in one of the banks at Aspinwall. 1suggested that there was danger in carrying such a sum of money through the couulry, but the stalwart fellow laughed at my fears. He said that I would make the hacienda of Don Francisco Mendez at nightfall, where 1 would be royally entertained. By day- light he thought J could take care of myself. While this was going on I saw two brutal-looking Mexicans at a short distance watching us intently and con- ferring together in low tones. "I don't like the look of those rascals." 1 said. "Hello, there: Pedro, and 3 f ou, Juan?" •houted Jackson. "Get to work, you lazy beggars!" The Mexicans growled, and suddenly retired. "They are two of the worst men in camp," said Jackson, "but they are not likely to bother you." 1 ifad my doubts, but the prospect of staying all night with Mendez some- what reassured me, and 1 started off in \ery good spirits. My road took me through a. scene of bewildering beauty. The tropical foliage round me glittered with all the hues of the rainbow. Un- known flowers of gorgeous magnificence and overpowering fragrance brightened the roadside. Suddenly I came upon a pond of clear water in ah open space. Hot. dusty and travel-worn. I could not resist the temp- tation. Without counting the conse- quences, I fastened the mustang to a sapling and undressed in a hurry, plac- ing my revolver under my clothes on the edge of the water. Then I plunged in and enjoyed a refreshing swim. One thins annoyed me. All along the way I met with monkeys everywhere. They were of ali sizes, aud the interest they took inmy movements amused me not a little. Sometimes they chattered at me indignantly and shook their firsts almost in my face. At a wave of my hand, however, they fled in precipitate terror. As soon as 1 entered the lake the monkeys took fresh courage. They scrambled about in droves, and abused me at their hearts' content. Amonsr them was one of a species that I had not seen before. He was a ferocious looking monster, fully five feet high and as muscular as a bear. Before I realized the situation this great long- legged fellow swooped down on my clothes, and started with them for the woods. Foi a moment I was absolutely paralyzed. It was no joke to ride to Aspinwall in a decent rig, but I had no fancy for the role of Lady Godiva. There was no time to lose. The monkey had left my revolver, and as soon as I could seize itI tired. He gave a howl of rage and dropped everything but my coat. 1 hastily jumped into my recovered garments and gave chase. It was useless. The thief scur- ried up into the top of a tall cocoanut tree, and in a twinklingof an eye put on my coat, buttoning itround him, and then proceeded to hurl coacoanuts at me with such precision that I was glad to quickly leap into the saddle and ride off. But my troubles had just begun. 1 had reconciled myself to the loss of my coat, as Jackson's money was in an in- side pocket of my waist, but the monkey ihowed a disposition to follow me. After firmg at him several times I gave it up. His tough hide seemed bullet- proof, and there was no chance to kill him unless 1 shot him in the eye. The declining sun warned me that it was time to seek shelter for tlie night, and 1 knew that in these tropical soli- tudes there was no twilight. I saw no cultivated fields, no houses, no signs of the hacienda of Don Francisco Mendez. The situation was growing serious. Occasionally a stone weighing a pound or two was hurled at me from some leafy covert, and then the gigantic monkey would give a horrible laugh and scamper away. He was a funny- looking chap In my blue flannel coat, bat 1 was too angry to enjoy the comic aspect of the matter. It struck me that it the brute caught me in the dark he would make an end of rue in no time. It was both horrible and humiliating, such a death in the tangled forests of this savage land. Just then 1saw a short distance oft, in a clearing, a square, stone hut. Here was shelter and protection. 1 was not disappointed much to find it uninhab- ited. It was strongly built, with no windows, and one entrance, from which the door had long since rotted away. A stepladder led to the loft. Ascending, 1 found .-. small apartment dimly lighted by round bole* "in the wall, which had evidently been used by sharp-shoot- ers at some revolutionary period In the history of the country. My mind was made up in an instant. 1 went back to my mustang and picketed him about a hundred yards from the hut in the bushes. Then 1returned to my fortress just as darkness closed in upon me, and sought refuge in the loft. pulling upthe ladder after me. 1 was safe here, even from the monkeys, and I lay down feel- ing a sense of perfect security. . . "• It must have been late in the night when 1heard something moving in the room under me. Looking through the opening in the floor 1 could see nothing. 1struck a match, and by the flickering flame recognized the monkey. The wretch still wore my coat, and in the dim, uncertain light his appearance was more repulsive than ever, ' . • ' lay down again, knowing that the beast could not Ret into the loft, and commenced planning for his destruction in the morning. 1 was satisfied that the animal belonged to a species of moun- tain apes, of great strength and terrible ferocity. Their cunning I heard was almost human, and they did not scruple to attack men and rend them limb from limb. 1 concluded, when the morning light appeared, to draw the brute's at- tention and shoot him in one of his eyes. Having settled on this plan, 1 was about dropping into a doze when 1 heard voices outside the hut. 1 listened with alert eais. . "If yon say, Pedro, this American is inside" we should ambush him and shoot him when he comes out in the morning." . " '.'\u25a0 " . •'Now, by all the saints. Juan." was the reply of l'edeo, "you are a cowardly fool. The Englishman, like all his countrymen, has his eyes open, and may get the drop on us." .-:•" : ; I recognized the voices. •"- Pedro and Juan had followed me all the way trom Jackson's camp. What to do was the question. It was hard to decide, and 1 waited further developments. The two robbers conversed in low whispers; and all I could hear was their final agree- ment to rush in and overpower me. ' '•Wonder what they'll do with the monkey 1 said to myself with a chuckle. \u25a0<\u25a0\u25a0>\u25a0"\u25a0• \,- --"1 hear the American moving," said Pedro. •-*'.\u25a0• *\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0':\u25a0 It was the monkey. The monster was walking in the circle all theytfnj*?, and the dead leaves that had drifted into the hut rustled under his feet. There was another whispered consultation, .: and the Mexicans rushed into the loom be- low. The outlaws saw a dark from and charged with their long, mrftde^ous knives. *r~ *}V:? I heard twodull thuds, and. knew that Pedro and Juan had been dasitftljiead- long against the walls. ~*& } -Mother of Moses!" gasped Juan. "Knife him!" ' -.. "; "Idiot!" cried Pedro; "knife him yourself!" The robbers made another rush. -- \u0084 > = "Ah, ah! ' yelled Pedro. "Where are you Juan? This hog of an American has me by the throat, and 1 have; lost mv knife." "He is a demon!" groaned Juan. "He is pounding mv head against the. wall!" " -:: A volley of yells followed and then a chorus of'groans. Through it all 1heard an ominous, dull thud. At length sil- ence prevailed, and 1 knew that all was over. -- My last match was gone, but to my great delight, it was almost morning. With the first rays of daylight I peered through the hole in the floor, it was a. ghastly sight that met :my 'gaze." The two Mexicans lay on the floor quiet dead. Their heads had been smashed to jelly aeainst the walls, and their throats" bore dark blue marks. Sitting in the corner was the monkey. He was bleeding profusely and was evidently seriously hurt. At first I thought I would spare Jhim. He saved my life and I was grateful. But when 1 fixed the ladder and descended, the untamable beast prepared for .i spring, and there was such evident malice in his eves that I aimed at his eye and fired." One shot did the work. He rolled over, dead. - :\u25a0 • w It was no place for me after such an adventure, and I at once went in search ot my mustang. To my great joy he was all right, and Iwas soon in: the saddle and on my way to Aspinwali. Depositing Jackson's moueXrjn, the bank when I arrived, 1 immediately boarded the steamer. I knew that it would not be prudent to speak of. .the two Mexicans, and I had a SHSpicion that a statement of the partWe" Monkey had borne in the tragedy would be re- garded by the authorities as a cock-and- bull-story. So I wisely kept my. mouth shut until I was again amoug friends. Of course. I nave never wasted any reg et on Pedro and JuartV.butf I still hold my horrible friend, the monkey, in great esteem. . ;.; .... — . - .. '"\u25a0 . .-. \u0084 "WHO FIRED THE BARN?

'.\u25a0--\u25a0 "Let me go on," he said, and the court let him go on. " "Didn't you," he said, addressing the prosecutor, "throw a man out of your second-story window yesterday evening?" The prosecuting attorney soid he had caught a tramp in his house about (j o'clock the evening before, and had fired him through a window. •'Thanks,' said the prisoner. "That was me. I went out onto a shed roof that broke my fall and almost broke my neck, and went on down where I liton the hired girl and scared her so she made a break for the back yard, where she startled a stray dog so that he made off with a howl for the street, running between a policeman's legs and up- setting him. The policeman made a swipe at him with his club and hit a horse standing by the curbstone, and he ran away, and up street he scattered a crowd of women, and then scared a horse hitched to a milk wagon, and he broke for home and there scared a cow and she ran over a cat In the stable yard watching a rat hole, and the cat went into the barn, where a lantern was hanging, ana the latent was turned over onto a pile of hay and set it afire, and the man that ought to have been there was down town trying to catch the horse that scaredhis horse that ran away and set the barn on fire. And that's how it hap- pened." concluded the tramp with a long breath of relief. The court was paralyzed. "And where were you all this time?" was the next inquiry. "Me?" he asked, innocently. "Oh, I was in the gentleman's kitchen eating the hired girl's supper while she was trying to find the policeman the dog upset, so's he could come and see what had dropped on the hired girl." . The case isn't settled yet. How He Fell. New York Herald. Wool— Joblots went six weeks with- out telling a lie, and then fell down only by accident. Van Pelt— What was the accident?
