Instructions to Lord John Koxton ana party. To be opened at Mannos upon July ll^at 13 o'clock preclsoly.
Lord .ToLiii had plnood his WHti»h ¦upon the table besldo lilra.
"We Iiawi Kovou more miniit™." mild he.    "The oW dear te very prprlae."

"AVhat can tt p'wstbfj- mnrrcr wiietn er we fjpen It tnrv or iu s»<'Vi!ii luIn ute8?" nald he. "It ts all part mid parrel of the same Hystcm of rpiacUory and nonspiiso for whi'h I rosret tn nay that tlio writer Is notoHmis."
"Oh, come' We must plfiy the (fame aceordin' to rules," said Lord .lohn "It's old man f'halleixrerN show, and we aro here by his >toc«l will, so It wonld be quite bad form If we didn't follow his instructions to tho lotter."
"A protty bufrtness It ls>:" cried the professor bitterly. "It struck mo as preposterous In London, hut I'm tioiind to eay that It Hecms even mor»» so upon closer acqualnUince. I <k)n't know what is inside fhis envtikipe; but, un- leas U Is somethint' pretty deflnlto, I Bhall be much tempted to tako the next down river lioat and catch the Bolivia at rani. .\ffor all. I have some more rostHinsiblo work In tbo worM than to run about disproving the iiKsortions of u lunatic. Now. Ro.x- ton, surely it is time"
"Time it is." said I/ord .Tohn. "You can blow llie whlsflo," Oe took up the envolop(» and cut it with his jii'n knife. From it ho drew a. folded shoot of paper. This ho carofully of)onod out and flattened on tho tnblo. It was a bliijk sheet. He- turned it over. Again it was blank. We looked nt each other in a bewildered which was Iiro!:on by a dlscordnnt burst of derisive lausrhter from I'ro¬ fessor Summorloe.
"It is an open adnii.ssiori!" ho crieil. "Whnt more do you want'/ The follow Is a solf coiife.s.si J luinibug. Wo have only to return bomo and report lilra as the brazen Impostor that he l.s."
".\rny 1 come in't" boomed a voice from the veranda.
The shadow of a squat fifrtire had stolon across the patch of sunlight That voice, that monstrous breadth of shoulder! Wo sprang to onr feet with .'1 gasp of nstoiilshniout as Chal- lenpir, In a round, lx>ylsli straw hnt with a colored rlWion—Cliallonsor. with hfs hitnds ill hl« Jacket pockets and hi- canvas slioi-s daintJly pointinjr aa ho walked
fore us.    ITe threw back his hoiid. and there he s'tiKxl in golden glow with all
yon."

When I wrote laitt w<> wore about to leave tho Indlnn village wlwre we had been deposited by tho Esmeralda. I have to bogtn my rep<^>rt by bad news, fpr the first serious personal trouble il pass over the incossnnt biekorings lie tweea the pnrfossorsi occurred this evening and might have hnd a tragic ending. I have spoken of our Kngllsh speaking half brood Gomej—a fine worker and n ¦^^^lllng follow, but afllict¬ ed, I fancy, with tho vice of curiosity. which Ls coinmon enouiih among such men. On tho last ovoning he s(?ems tn have hid himself near the hiK in which wo were discussing our [iliwis, and, be¬ ing observed hy our huge negro /.umbo, who Is as fnlfliful as a dog and has the hatred which nil his race bear to the balf broods, he was dragtrod out and carrlerl Into our presoiKo. Gome/, whipped out his knU'o, however, and but for the huge strength of his cnptor. which enabled him to disaini him with one hand, he would certainly have fiilonce. ( stabbed him.   TTie matter lias endcil ii;

i a good sized river, some hundreds of yards broad and dar'< in color. Imt transparent, so that one conld usually aeo the bottom. The allluents of the Amazon are, half of them, of this na¬ ture, while the other iuUf nre whitisli and otiaquo, tho dilTerence depending npon the class of country throngh which they have flowed. The dnrk indl'^nti' vegetable decay, while tho others point to clayey soil.

berg, It Ktretchod In front of us utrtler Its leafy archway, every stroke of our paddles sending a tliousand rliiplos across its shining surface. It wan a fltting u^t•mle to a I.ukI of wonders. All signs of tlw Indians had pnssed awo^', but animal life wn.s niore fro quent, nnd the tamenoss of the crea tares frtiowo<l that fhey knew nothing of the huntor. Fuzzy little black vel¬ vet monl<oys with siiow white teefh and glonralng. mocking eyes chattered at U8 .'KS we passf<i. With a dull, heavy Ki)la.sh an oor'aslonal cayman Rlunged in from the Imnk. fmce a dark, cjumsy tapir st.ired at us from a gap in tho bti.shos and then lumlwr- ed nway througli tho ffirest. Once, too, the yellow, sinuous form of a great pUEqa whl,sked umWl the brushwood, and Its green, balofhl eyee glared ha¬ tred at us over Its tnwny shoulder. Bird life waH ahtmdanf, esiM><*lally the ] wafllog birds, stork, boron and .Ibis | gatherlrMj fri llttk- grorrris. Mue, scar- j let nnd white, upon every loi? which jutted from the bank, while beneath as tt»e crystal water was nllve with flah of ev^ry shajie ami color.
For throe dnys we made our way up this tunnel of hazy green sunshine. On the longer stretches one could hard¬ ly tell ae one looked nhead where the distant groen wator endo<l and the distant grooii archway bognn. Tho deep peaw of thiH strnnge waterwTiy was unbroken by nny sign of men.
"No Indian horo. Tr^o much afraid. Curupuri," said Gomez.
"Curupnrl Is tho spirit of thf" vroods," Lord John oxphilnod. "Ifs n namo for any kliKl of ftenii. Tbo pfKir beg¬ gars thinks that there is something fearsome tn this direction, and fiiere- fore thoy avoid It."
On the third day it became evident thnt our Journey In the canoes could not last much longor, for the stroam wa.s rapidly growlnir more sbnilow. Twice lo as many hoirrs wf stuck upon the iKittom. Finally we pulled the boats up among the brushwcxxl and spent the night on tbe txitik of ttie river. In the morning I>inl John and I made onr way Ior a coiirrle of miles throngh the forest, keepfng iiamllel with tbe stream, but ns It grew ever shallower wo retumwl nihl reported, what Prrrfessor Challenger had already suapected, that -we had reached the highest point to which the canoes could be brought \Ve drew them up. there¬ fore, nnd c-onceale<l them among the bushes, blazing n tree with our axes so that wo should flnd them again. Then we distributed the various bur¬ dens among us-^uijs. ntnuiiinition, food, a tont. blairlcet.s and tlio re.st— and, shouldering our packa¦_'(:.s, wo set forth urion the .more laborious stacre of our Jourr"' Adva' "e alon.g f
