A STORY OF THE EVERGLADES.
By Ed W. Freeney.
In the southern part of Florida, scat
tered promiscuously through that dense
country lying between Lake Okeecho
bee and the Florida keys, Is still to be
found a remnant ot the once powerful
tribe of Serftlnoles. This land Is domi
nated by a typical chief. Tiger Tall by
name and tiger by nature, whose ac
quaintance I had the misfortune to
make several years ago. .And though
Tiger Tail's impression upon me was the
reverse of favorable, the memory ot
that blear-eyed individual will follow
me until I embdrk on that last Journey
from whence I shall bp required to Bend
In no reports.
It was on tho morning of September
15. 1802, that I set out from Punta-
Itassa for Manatee. I was. at that
time, a traveling correspondent, and
having learned that my chief Intended
cutting the force In order to reduce ex
penses, I determined that If original
matter, historically and geographically
correct, counted for anything. I would
be one of the lucky ones to be retained
on the staff. On this excursion I was
accompanied by a youth of 1G, a rela
tive of the managing editor's, and
whose chief characteristics were per
versity and a knack tor getting into
trouble. Half of each day was spent by
me in wishing that I had left that
young "Jonah” at home, and the other
half in listening to his complaints and
Jtlshes that he bad never seen me. That
youngster was eternally getting both of
us Into scrapes of .every description:
and so perverse was his nature that
his contsant spells of despondency and
longings for home were Invariably fol
lowed by a flat refusal to be sent back.
But, to return to the sitory. Heretofore
we had traveled by rail, but having de
cided to search for Items in less fre
quented places, I purchased a team,
consisting of a awayback mule with an
Inclination to fly up at the baclt end,
and a ramshackly road wagon with huge
broad tires, and on the morning In ques
tion we set out for Manatee. Reader,
fid you ewer visit south Florida? If
iot. It would be useless to attempt to
I escribe that weird, desolate country,
have often thought that “Dante's In-
no" must have been Inspired by tho
orghides of Florida. We traveled all
lay without sighting a solitary babita-
, our steed stopping hourly to beat
time of day on the dashboard. As
shades of evening drew near' the
ioubts that had been fromlng In my
il assumed formidable shape and as
road became more gad more soggy
realled that we had m some manner
Itched oft In a southerly direction
>m Punta-Rassa and were even then
the border of Big Cypress Swamp.
Simultaneously with my dlscoverey
came a lurid glare that lighted up the
heavens and revealed a heavy cloud
hanging sullenly over the trees ahead
of me. A feeling of despondency crept
over me as I realized my position. En
cumbered with a I6-year-old baby and a
poky mule, the outlook for a night lu
the swamp with the probabilities that
I Would furnish a feast for wild beasts,
was anything hut Inviting. c,
'■Jim!'' I called to my companion,
who lay stretched out In the wagon, in
blissful unconsciousness of the ritua-
tion.
"Yes'm, In a minute," drowsily re
spond hi Jim, slapping at a mosquito
and immediately resuming his broken
Well, there was nothing to do but to
turn back and get as far away from
the swamp as possible before night
set In. Hut, I had reckoned without
my host. I gathered up the reins and
attempted to turn my steed right about
face but that perverse creature refused
to budge. At any rate, there had been
no deception In the old farmer from
wh .is I purchased my team. I bar
gained for a. mule and I got a mule.
Hut I felt that this was no time to hu
mor my worthy animal, so I gently le-
inonstrated against hU perversity by a
gentle tap of the whip. The result was
a rattoo on the dash-board. Another
tap, and this time my worthy steed
folded his earn well back on his neck,
poised himself gracefully on his fore-
ad proceeded to do a Jig on the
flash that would have done credit to a
star. Well, this was Interest-
iin had now roused up and sat
staring at the performance In open-
mouthed astonishment. "Jim," I said,
solemnly, "we are lost!" "How far aro
we from Manatee?” he ejaculated, bis
eyes bulging out. "Much further than
when we started out; we are on tho
edge of Big Cypress swamp,” I replied.
This was more than poor Jim could
stand, and ho forthwith began to be
moan his fate. “Come!" I said, sternly,
"don’t be a baby: we must turn brick."
"What good will that do?” he blubber
ed: "even If we could see the road we
couldn't get back tonight.” "That’B
very true," I reasoned, '.'but we can get
further from the swamp and be expos
ed to less dangers. Come, brace up. It
Is true that w eare In a serious predic
ament, but It can’t be helped nnd blub
bering won't mend mntters." Instruct
ing Jim to gather up-tbe reins and ply
the whip, I went ’to the mule's head
and attempted to lead him, but the ex
asperating beast calmly sat back on
his haunches and mildly looked up Into
my face with the Innocence of a bunco
steerer. Well, this was a rum go. By
this time night had set In and the con
tinuous lightning and spasmodic gusts
of wind denoted the rapid approach of
tho storm. Just as the rain began to
fall, I was astonished at hearing the
barking of a dog, apparently a short
distance to my right. Consigning my
team to the devil and calling to Jim to
follow. I plunged through the dense
shrubbery that skirted the roadside.
Blinded by the falling rain that now
came In sheets, I plunged ahead and a
small hut suddenly loomed up before
me. Jlm'B cry of delight was suddenly
turned Into a yell of fright, as a gaunt
hound bounded out to meet us, bark
ing furiously. Suddenly tho door open
ed and a picture stood framed In the
doorway that fairly “took my breath."
My weakness for the gentle sex hns al
ways been a subject for comment among
my associates, and ns this vision, dawned
on my view, I involuntarily doffed my
lint nnd stood in the drenching rain, in
silent admiration. A slight, willowy form,
clad In a quaint garment, girded round
by a rattle snnko belt, the collar turned
well hack from the throat, the skirt
reaching just below the knees; a face,'
dark, but not swntliy, two flashing black
eyes and n mass of jet black hnir hang
ing unfettered OTer her shoulders. She
culled off the dog in some outlandish
tongue and stood peering curiously out
into the darkness. Recalling my scat
tered wits I approached und ventured a
"good evening." "Evenin’," she re
sponded, hut without moving. "May I
come in?" I asked, my hopes sinking.
“Nope, white man come steal: kill Bright
Eyes; Tiger Tail come: find bride nil
dead; weep:" came the astonishing re
ply. After being assured that I was no
robber and that no amount of money
coutd induce me to harm Bright Eyes,
she stepped uside and mnde room for me
to enter. I entered, with Jim close at
my lieels, nnd approached the Are, over
which a huge piece of venison was broil
ing. For a time my attention was given
to drying my garments, but, presently,
my eyes roved about the apartments. A
bed, a tables, a large cheat and several
rickety clmirs comprised the furnishings.
Two small ante-rooms connected with
the apartment. My companion posed as
n lady killer (what youth of sixteen does
not?) and having regained his spirits,
he was soon making violent love to our
hostess. Bright Eyes took It nil good-
naturedly and occasionally showed her
White teeth in a broad smile. Presently,
n lumbering step was heard and the glj-I
sprang to her feet while I waited, ex
pectantly. The door was thrown open,
and looking up, I beheld the most re
pulsive creature my eyca had ever rested
uisiii. The new-comer jura* tall and
swntliy, with Homi-shot eyes und a hid
eous countenance. Dressed in a gaudy,
store-bought salt, he presented a picture
of repulsireness, and I suddenly found
myself contrasting him with his beauti
ful wife. “Who dl»r' he demanded,
leering at us. I hastened to explain the
situation, while Bright Eyes introduced
us by exclaiming: “Big Chief, Tiger Tail
—white mau/' The "Big Chiefs" only-
reply to my explanations wns a grunt, as
he seated himself and leered at Jim with
sn ugly expression. Bright Eyes bustled
alsmt and son bad the venison on the
taMc. Accepting the grunting invitation,
we drew about the table and were
soon devouring the half-cocked venison,
which was passed around in chunks.
After the mc.il, during which not a wool
wns uttered. Tiger Tall resumed his seat
before the fire, drew his pipe and de
manded “pishawa.” Bright Eyes hur
ried into an unte-roOhi nnd returned
with a two-gallon jug, which she de
posited. on tho table nt her liege lord’s
cllimv. ’ He drew the cork, nnd taking
il draught from the jug, smnoked Ills lips
nnd lighted his pipe. During the next
hour ho vouchsafed us no further notice
thnn to leer more wickedly at us with
cneli draught from the Jug.
The situation was becoming monot
onous, to say the lenkt. Outside the
wind howled, and the rain came in tor
rents. Occasionally the jhuman-llko cry
of the panther cou|d be heard and I
shivered and thanked Ood for shelter,
uninviting as It was. At the end of an
hour,, which was passed In uttter si
lence by us, Tiger Tail’s pipe dropped
to tho floor, causing Jim to jump sev
eral feet In the air, his head drooped,
and. our host .slept. At. this, Jim re
sumed his''love-making, and his arm
stole around tho sylph-ltke form of our
hostess, while her tfc'eth showed In a
broad smile. I was becoming disgust
ed when, Just as a sounding smack was
planted on Bright Eyes’ ruby lips. Ti
ger Tall gave vent to a gutteral excla
mation and suddenly sat erect. It was
evident that he had been a witness to
the performance, for, with a bound he
wns upon Jim and that unlucky Indi
vidual suddenly found himself prone
upon the floor, a heavy knee upon his
chest, and two vlce-llkp hands choking
him senseless. Fur a moment 1 stood,
paralyzed, but regaining my senses,
sprang to the rescue. Just as I sprang
to his assistance, Jim made ono spas
modic kick and I fell sprawling over
feet, and my head violently struck the
chest.
When I-regalned consciousness I was
oppressed by a dull, heavy feeling, and
for a time I wag unable to account for
my position. Slowly memory came
back to me and I realized that I was a
prisoner. Until now 1 had forgotten
my companion, but aB I groped about
In the darkness my hand came In con
tact with a clammy face, and I quick-,
ly withdrew It, at the same ttmo feeling
a cold chill run down my back. Fumb
ling about In my pockets I succeeded In
flnding a match, and lit my pocket
lamp which t found, to my Intlnlte sat
isfaction, remained Intact. I crawled
to the side of my companion and as I
held the lamp over him, a feeling of In
tense pity swept over me. Poor Jim
lay stretched upon his back, apparent
ly lifeless. His neck was bruised and
swollen and a tear-drop glistened on
his swollen cheek. With a sigh, I was
about to turn my attention to the pos
sibility of escaping when I Imagined I
detected a twitching of the muscles,
and upon Investigation I was overjoy
ed to And that Jim was breathing,
gently but surely. Holding the light
aloft, I espied a Jug in one corner of
the room, which proved to bo half filled
with whisky, evidently that from which
our host had been Imbibing before
Jim's unlucky kiss. Searching about
I discovered a broken, piece of crock
ery, and poured out a quantity of the
whisky which I forced through Jim's
lips, and was rewarded by seeing him
open his eye and sure vacantly about
him. Admonishing him to silence, I
began an Investigation of our prison.
The room was about ten feet square,
and was evidently one of the ante
rooms that I had noticed upon my era,
trance Into the house.
I silently tried the door, which I found
securely fastened, aim was turning away
when the door suddenly opened and Tiger
Tall stood In the doorway. Like a flash
I sprang upon him, hut soon found my
self overmatched by hi*'superior strength
and my bead was viciously dashed
against the door facing. With a groan
I sank gasping nt my victor's feet. When
I opened my eyes I was bound hand
and foot, and Tiger Tall stood over me,
n hideous grin distorting hla feature*.
"White man no rim away now," was
his comment. "Weil, what do yon intend
doing with me?*’ I demanded, assum
ing a hold front.
Just then a mournful cry broke the
stillness of the night. "Know whnt ilat?"
queried my captor. Receiving no reply,
he went on:
"Have heap fan, t'moiler. Bee white
man in pen witl^ panther; hrjp’olg light.
Boy no kiss squaw no mo'."
As hi* meaning grew dear to me I
became side with horror, but, disguising
my feeling-', I exclaimed: "Why, yon
blooming idiot, within twenty-four
hours hundreds of white men will lie
scouring the country for me. Harm a
hair of me nr my companion, and your
life will pay for it."
He laughed mockingly, and replied:
ws I nm strictly honorable, hut just At the
la HtMIl! j|u«lk>h of the propric-fon
Heap critzy; white men come; no tine
brudder; go ’bout biz. Sleep good. Dia
las’ night," and slamming the door, ho
vanished. Left lo think over Ike situa
tion, I for. the flfst time felt myself Ios-'
ing nil hope. Common reason convinced
me that Tiger Tail's statements were
true, nnd that ho could carry oilt hla
hellish design with tho utmost safety. 1
have never phsed a prize fighter, and it
Is scarcely to bo wondered flint I failed
to relish the idea of being pitted against
n hungry panther. Towards morning
Bright Eyes stole in nnd tiptoed toward
me. "Me nave white man," she whispered
deftly severing my bonds. "But won’t
Tiger Tail kill you?" I whispered.
"Me go too; me love white hoy," wns
the reply.
Now,
at’this
ty of eloping with Tiger Tail's squaw
troubled my morals hut little ns I slipped
oIT my shoes nnd with rising hopes pre
pared to follow my liberator.
"How about the dog?" I Inquired, ns
she liberated Jim. *
"Me done kill urn," she responded, as
Jim rose and shook himself like a New.
fotindlnnd.
After listening nt the door, we stole
single lllo seisms the roof. Tiger Tail lay
across the boil fast nsleep. With the
small knife ' in otir possession I could
easily have murdered him then and there
but I Imd no desire to do this, even could
I have gained Bright Eyes’ consent; so
we softly unfastened the outer door and
stole out into 'the darkness. With a sigh
of relief. I started toward tho ronil, but
Bright Eyes Whispered;
"Dis way: me know near cut," and she
started toward the jungle in the renr of
the house. Morning soon dawned, and wo
traveled all dny without Incident, until
toward sundown, when, ns we hurried
nlottg a hissing sound wns heard in our
midst, nisi Bright Eyes uttered n cry
of pain its a slimy form glided into the
undergrowth. In a moment I was nt her
side, but having regained her composure,
she Insisted on proceeding on our Jour
ney. Just ns night set In, wo enme In
sight of Puntu Rnssa. Hero inislirnl aid
was sought, hut the poison had done
its deadly work, anil In a few hours
Bright Eyes had gone before the Great
Spirit. The next dny an armed posse
surrounded tho hut, hut the bird hail
flown. Shortly afterward a small steam
er ran In for the mail, and, after seeing
that Bright Eyes was properly buried,
we engaged passage and set sail fur
Tampa.
I have heard lately that Tiger Tall still
dominates over bis little band, but 1
have no desire to rcstmio the acquaint
ance of ono whom I have so little reason
to love.
HYDROPHOBIA.
A Short Treatise on This Dreadful Af-
- , 11 | fllction.
’ 'I 1 > __
Tho following open letter from many
scientific physicians will tend to lessen
the alarm occasioned by "dog bjles."
People aro too quick to suspect fables
from every scratch made on the hitman
body by a ilog'a teeth. The information
given is interesting reading:
Mr. Editor: Ws have oimorred with
regret numerous sensational stories con
cerning nllegpd mad dogs, and tho terri
ble results to human Mugs bitten by
them, which are published from time to
time in the newspapers. Such accounts
frighten people In vnrious nervous dis
orders and cause brutal treatmeht of an
imals suspected of madness; nnd yet
there Is upon record a great mass of tes
timony from physicians asserting the ex
treme rarity of hydrophobia even in the
dog, while many medical men of wide
experience are of tho opinion that if ft
develops in human lieings at all. It la
only on extremely rare oeenslona; that
the condition of hysterical excitement lu
man described by newspapers ns "hydro
phobia" Ib merely n series of symptoms,
due usually to n dread of the disease,
such dread being enuspd by roalistlo
newspaper and other report* acting upon
the imaginations of persons scratched or
bitten by animals suspected of rabies.
The late Dr. Hiram Corson, whose
practice extended over a period of sev-
caty years, during which time he
searched diligently for the disease in
man or animal, wrote under date of Jan
uary VI, 1836, "I have never had a real
case of hydrophobia."
Dr. Traill Oreeu, a physician like Dr.
Corson, accurate in observation, careful
in statement, and whose practice also
extends over a long period, writea un
der dute of January 28, 1896, "I have
never had n ca«o of hydrophobin, nor
hnvo I over seen a ease" in the practleo
of other physicians.
Dr. Mnttlmw Woods, who has been In
quest of the discaso for twenty years,
and who during two summers personal
ly visited every case reported In Phila
delphia, either In man or animal, nnd
although alx cars ago, nt the conclusion
of a paper on tho subject rend before a
large audience, ho offered 8100 to any
person bringing him such, a patient, yet
so far no one has claimed the reward.
Dr. Woods furthermore adds that al
though he 1ms questioned many physi
cians on tho subjecthe has not yet found
ono who litis ever seen hydrophobia cith
er In mgn or animal.

catchers nnd keepers aro frequently bit

of hydrophobia hns occurred during Us
entire history of twenty-five years, in
which time about 150,000 dogs were han
dled.
Tho well-known specialist, Dr. Edward
C. spitzkn, Professor of Medical Juris
prudence nnd of Ihn Anatomy and Phy
siology of the nervous system in the New
York Post-Ornduate School of Medicine,
und president of tho New York Neuro
logical Soolcty, writes: "Much of tho
observation of suspicious dogs is made
through optics disturbed by fear, and by
persnus Incompetent to interpret what
they sec," "Notwithstanding every ef
fort," ho continues, "mado by tho writer
lo secure tho observation of ruble* in
man or dog, not a single opportunity has
offered itself during tho hint eight yean"
(tho period of his observation).
Tho record ot tho London Hospital a
faw years ago showed 2,668 persons hit-
ten by angry dog*. None of them devel
oped hydrophobia. 81. OeorgCs Hospital,
London, records 4,000 patients bitten by
dogs supposed to lmvo been mad. No
enso of hydrophobia.
In tho record of all the disease* which
have occurred nt tho Pennsylvania Hos
pital in a hundred and forty years only
l wo v cases which were supposed to bn
hydrophobia have occurred, Ono of these
however—tho only ono submitted to bac
teriological test—did not confirm tho di
agnosis "hydrophobia," nnd the munici
pal authorities refused to accept the
death as one from that disease.
Finally, Dr. Charles W. Dulles, lectur
er on the history of medicine at tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who has had
Iho honor of being repeatedly appointed
by tho medical societies of the slato to
investigate rabies, and hns read various
papers on the subject before the Ameri
can MeiUcal Association, tho Collego of
Physicians of Philadelphia, the Phila
delphia County Medical Hocicty, tho Med
ical Society of Pennsylvania, the Mcdico-
Legal Society of New York, and hns cor
responded on the subject with most of
tho distinguished medical men of Eu
rope, a physician familiar both with the
literature of rabies, the history of Pas
teur and the institutions called by hla
name, and who in addition has per
formed the almost Incredible task of In
vestigating, either personally or by cor
respondence, with tho physicians or oth
ers In attendance, every ease reported lu
the newspaper* of Ihn United State* for

that he inclines to the view that "there
is no such specific malady," having, af
ter sixteen year* of Investigation "failed
to find a single cane on record that can
be conclusively proved lo have resulted
from the bite of n dog or other cauae.”
In view, therefore, of the Importance
to the community of the above state
ments, may we not appeal to tho pres*
for their widest publication, and for the
future suppression In its columns of such
alarming and misleading reports ns wo

Theosophlst, more logical, may be, than
hts neighbors, who now and again
would divide the universe Into water
tight compartments to suit hts own
convenience, believe* that the soul
must grow like other things In nature,
and therefore necessarily upholds tho
view that each man's soul has lived on
earth In human form many times In the
past, and'wWl live on earth In human
form many times tn the future. This
great process of development Is gov
erned throughout by law, frequently,
called tho law of Karma, a Sanscrit
won! meaning action. As all action
contains within Itself reaction, Karma
Is a word symbol used to express tho
well-known law that cvjry cause pro
duces a definite effect, and tn every ef
fect la precedod by a commensurate
cauae. This lair, taken In conjunction
•with tho law ot rebirth, makes man
She result of his own thoughts and ac
tions In hts past lives on earth, and tho
master of hto own future. It estaih-
lslhes on a firm basis of reason man’s
Innate belief tn universal Justice, and,
like every other teach of Theosophy, It
emphasizes the underlying unity of ait
things by showing that each human
HOUI In Its pilgrimage through material
life passes through countless expe
riences, and that these experiences;
whether of Joy or sorrow, are shared
tn common by all mankind. Whether
we now live amidst luxury or poverty
ls ot less account than how wo llvo
under those conditions, for on that
will depend the character of our futuro
lives on earth.
This doctrine Is of the greatest pos
sible help In enlarging the conception
St human brotherhood, for no man,
holding such views, can think of lain-
self an separate tn character or expe
rience from other men, when the sum
total of earthly lives la taken Into ac
count.— E. T. Hargrove In tbo North
American Review.
