Tho bull wan a wild one from the mountains, and dangerously savage from some cause. A DANa SITUATION. The Mexicnu wnrnod mo flint he was doubtless still In tbo neighborhood, and that It would stand me In hnnd to keep a lookout for fttm.

I bad ridden a mile or two when I dismounted to drink of a little running stream I had reached, and to oat my lunch. My horse I left standing without taking the precaution of tying him, though without unsaddling him. He was a young mustang, as norvous as ft woman, and, without nny apparent cause that 1 could discover, threw up his head nil of sudden and broke down the valley in a mad gallop, carrying, of coun.e, my saddle, with my 1 containing my pistols, which I had rather foolishly removed from my waist nn hour or two before, and hung from tlio horn of my saddle Tiv-ni was nothing for It but to follow the horso on foot, so 1 put in NS bad humor ns you can imagine, for I was already fatigued by my long rido, and a tramp of perhaps miles was anything hut inviting. I trudged on for au hour or two, until my feet were cut and blistered by the sharp rocks, and had down to rest near a clump of cot- tumvood trees, one of great size, and the rest of them mere saplings. At that moment 1- heard a loud roar uml a crash in bush behind nie, und out rushed ut a terrific pacoa largo hull, charging straight nt mo.

I hud only just time to throw myaelf to one sido tint on the ground ns ho thundered by me. My next move was to make for tho clump of cot ton woods, which I succeeded in reaching Just as tho bull turned again. My hat had fallen to tho earth as I ran, and this the aniuml now attacked with ferocity and maddened rage that hhowed how little mercy would be shown tho man when his turaenme. Having torn tho hat to pieces with horns and hoofs, and having sineiled mo out, ho commenced a circuit round tho trees, stamping, pawing and bellowing frightfully. With his bloodshot eyos and long, sharp horns, be looked like demon.

I was quite unarmed, having, by soino unlucky chance, neglected to put in my knife in leaving home, and my pistols, as I said before, being in ray saddle, and I WHS wearied unto dcuth. Tho situation was a desperate one, and my only chance consisted in dodging the hull round the trees until ho should be tired out, and this was, indeed, a falut hope, for the animal seemed fresh nnd warranted to outlast the strength of ten men. The charged again and again, sometimes coming against the tree with such force that lit) fell on his kneoa, holding the bapliugs behind which 1 stood until his horns almost reached rao. TIHTO was not a branch of tho one largo tree low enough for mo to seizo and climb up, and 1 had no time in whieh to scale it betweeu the bull's charges. How long this awful game of "touch wood" lasted 1 cannot tell, for after the Qrst excitement of self preservation off weariness again took $esKion of mo, and it required all the instinct and love of life in me to keep mo on my" Several times the bull left me for a few seconds, pacing suddenly away, bellowing his malignant discontent of my refusal to come forth and bo trampled and gored to death, but before I could cross over to a better position he always come bock at full speed.

My tongue began to cleave to the roof of my mouth, my eyes grew hoc and mibty, my knees trembled under ine, while a ringing in my ears warned me that nature was exhausted, and 1 felt it impossible to hold out until dark. THE BE-SOUE. I At length I grew desiwrate, and determined to make a run for the opposite covert the moment tho bull turned from me again. I felt sure 1 was doomed, and thought of It until 1 actually began to welcome the idea of its ending in any way. The bull seemed to know I was worn out, and grew more rapid and tierce in his charges, hut just when I was going to sit down under tho great tree and let hiai do his worst, I heard the rattlo of a horbe among tbe rooks above, and a shout that sounded like the voice of an angel.

Then came the barking of a dog and the loud reports of a stock whip, but the bull, with hla devilish eyes fixed on me, never moved. Up came a horseman at full speed, and crack fell the on tho bull 's black hide, while the blood spurted out In a long streak. The animal turned savagely and charged the horseman, bellowing with astonhthod rage und pain, hut the bores wheeled round just enough to baffle again the lash descended, cutting like a long flexible razor; but the Infuriated bull was not to be beaten off with a' charged again and again. But he had met his mutch, for right and left, as ueeded, tho wiry Spanish' mare turned, sometimes on her bind, sometimes on her foro logs. It was the most magnificeut exhibition of equestrianism I ever saw, and i actually forgot my fatigue and exhaustion while I watched tt.

My rescuer now shouted something, leaped from his horse and strode forward to meet the bull with an open knife between hla teeth. Aa the beast lowered his head to charge, he seemed to catch him by the horns. There was a (struggle, a cloud of dunt, a stamping like two strong men wrestling, I could not see but the next moment the bull was on hU back, with the blood walling from bis throat aud the limbs quivering iu death. The stranger, covered with dust aud blood, came up to me theu. saying, apparently aa unconscious of triumph aa if be had been killing a calf in a slaughter house: "He's deed enough now, air; he won 't trouble anybody any more." I walked two or three paces towards tbe dead beast, when my tanVl me aud 1 fainted.

"When 1 came to my boree was standing uear me, tied to a bush, and my strange rescuer OraWTOTO, alltgeot, tn untVn amtft Riiu Itr. John Hodgkins. formerly an officer in bet Inncors, but At that time in tbe employ of an English banking nnd Kir- can tile firm In Hong Kong. We were in the front ranks of tho nearly oil of whom were Europeans. After wn had waited a few mi mi tee, fanning ourselves, for tho day was oppressively hot, the fnklrs made their appearance.

There were eight In the party. An old man with aquiline a patrl archai white beard and a pair ot flashing black eyes, was the loader. Uis wife, a pretty little womhn, young enough to be his daughter, was his chief arafstaut, and tho six remaining men served as subjects and under assistants. 1 had heard much about the wonderful performances of this particular of fakirs, as nil i tine rant performers are generally tornied, and thus when I received the Invitation of the palace authorities 1 was delighted to accept It. But 1 must admit that nil the prniso 1 had heard seemed faint nnd cold after I had scon all that was to be seen.

It was, taking It ell In nil, tho most wonderful performance of the sort any of our pnrty had ever witnessed. After the fakirs arrived they proceeded nt once to business. The old man bound a bandage tightly around tbo forehead of one of his young men, placing a small wedge shaped piece of pith under the cloth and directly between the Then he handed bim a small round mirror, telling him to place it in his hnnd and gaze upon it intently. This the young man did. Meanwhile the other fakirs made a circle partially around him, droning a monotonous chant that ran something as follows: Rata, ram, nmarnm, nninram, nun, Amarnm, aiuaraat, amaram, ram.

This was repeated over and over again in hinging tones, resembling the distant hum of a hive of lwea, nnd when tho chant was ended wo wcro nearly ns drowsy as the poor subject was. Directly the song was finished'we started lethargy and brought our lagging senses to bear upon tho victim of this remarkable incantation, He was lying on tho pi lor floor, to nil appearances dead. Uis face was of the gluiMty pallor of tho tomb. His arms, legs and fingers were as though they had boon suddenly turned to ice. His blood seemed to have been frozen on a day when wo living siwetntors were almost suffocated by tho heat.

Wo felt his fingers. They were rigid as though modeled from marble. Dr. Craw ford raised his eyelids. Tbo pupil had boeu upturned uml nothing but tbe white was visible.

The doctor examined his heart und felt his puUe. His blood had stopped (lowing through his veins. To malto the tost oven more complete the doc.or stopped his nostrils, his eyes and his can's and mouth with a thick, putty like pas to, that made breathing an impossibility. In every previous mesmeric or hypnotic 1 had witnessed the subject always breathed. Now cumo sarao further tests, nnd cruel oucs they were, too.

Ijorge bodkins were thrust entirely through tho pulm of his hand and he never moved a muscle. Neither did a drop of blood follow tho withdrawal of the steel. This prodding was repeated upon bis cheeks, his finger nutate, his thighs aud arms, with precisely the sumo results. Then the old man took a glowing coal of burning charcoal from his pot aud placed it on the upturned palm of his unconscious victim's hand. Hero it at first smoked, then sizzled and tbo corridor became permeated with the odor of burning human flesh.

Still the man was unconscious. At last the doctor forced the old man to remove tho cool, for fear that it might do tho young man some permanent injury. The subject was then over to the doctor's core, Tho physician made every effort known to medical science to resuscitate him, but all for naught. After be had been in this trance, for nearly nn hour tho old fakir made somo wide spreading posses over his body with bis arms and leaned back ta watch tho result. A shiver passed over the subject's form, and a grim smile of triumph curled tbe corners of tho old mau's mouth.

We gathered around the prostrate man and watched him until we grew sick at heart and felt faint. Such torture, such horrible agony I never before behold on a human face. His atures were twisted and distorted out of all humau resemblance. His limbs became knotted, and he writhed into a thousand different shapes from his finger tips to Ins toes. After fivo minutes, that seemed to us an age, ho ojiened his eyes, rubbed the moisture from his forehead aud sat up as one dosed.

A minute later he rose and took hiv place amoug the others as though nothing whatever had happened. While this was very wonderful, the old man now proceeded to astonish us still more. With no ono to help lr save the singera and their chant.of his own volition ho throw himself into this same marvelous state. We repeated the same upou him tbat wo had done iu the first instance. Wo drove steels through his limbs und scorched tbe palm of his hand with a living coal.

We stopped up his nostrils, ears, eyes and mouth, and then the doctor worked on him for half on hour or inoro. Tho effect of death was in this case more pronouueed thau in the former. The natural pallor of the old man's face, his flowing white hair and beard made him appear like the carved figure of some old Indian chieftain In one of the royal burial It Impressed us ns though we were in tho presence of actcal death, and we instinctively spoke in whispers. When the doctor was tired he turned the body over to the woman, who made certain passes over it, and slowly and terribly tbo old man reguiaed bis in Be Louis Republic. E.
