THE STORY-TELLER.

THE MAN AND THE MONKEY.,

[continued.]

Meanwhile, the siege went on. Com pared with their prodigious expenditure of powder and shot, the enemy did us very little damage ; and the whole garrison felt convinced that, unless provisions should fail, which they never did entirely, we .could keep out our foes from the fortress for whatever time they chose to remain -.before it. Meanwhile, vain-glorious, and • lively as ever, M. Da Montmaur remained with us, simply, I suppose, because the besiegers had no prisoners of ours to exchange for him, > or, if they had a prisoner, preferred changing him for some one else.

In process of time, as the siege pro ceeded, my post and duties were altered. There was reason to suspect that certain residents in Gibraltar, Spaniards, or others who favored the foe, were in the •habit of concealing themselves in the rough ground about the summit of the Rock, and from that elevated position making , signals to. their friends outside, both- by day and night. One or two . delinquents were caught and hanged. I had.it in charge to look after this class of - offenders, while taking also the general - superintendance of our posts along the summit, and seeing that our men there stationed had their eyes about them. • Treachery is easy in a place besieged, simply: because everybody takes it for • granted that, -everybody else is on the alert,: and therefere gives himself no trouble. It was also, my duty to take note of all the ' enemy’s movements, and 'to report upon them as occasion required. . The arrangement, so far. as it concerned • myself, was not .quite tc the liking of M. De. Montmaur, who expressed his regret that so much of my time was occupied on the higher parts of the Rock, which to him, as a prisoner, from prudentials con siderations, were forbidden ground. One fine day, when I was making my observations at .the Rock Guard, a position which vertically dominated the- enemy’s lines, I was unexpectedly joined by Cap tain Schnaub. He was off duty, and had come up to look about him. Learning in the course of conversation that I was on the point of visiting the Signalhouse, . another station on very high ground, he intimated an intention of going there too. I merely remarked that I?should be glad to have the pleasure of his company. . “'YotMsill.not have that,” he replied in his rough way. “ We- shall go by differ ent paths. ” - “ How so ?” I asked. “ 1 know of but one path that is available from where we are.—that along the summit of the ridge. It is not so smooth, as a gravel-walk, but it leads from end to end;” “ You. know of but one ? " said he ; “ but I know of two. Go you by the summit, if you prefer it; I shall goby the back of the Rock. ”

He spoktt iixa tone of bravado. Most people are aware that" the- east side, or “ back of the Rock,”, is a tremendous cipfce. Formerly,.on .the face of the pre cipice, these., were, certain narrow paths, briefly frequented by goats,, and forming a such- as it was, between the eastern base of the Rock and its.s.um~ mitr But one of these paths having at a previous siege been actually made avail able by the enemy, they were all des troyed by scarping the Rock; and though there still remained one or two similar paths—that is, blind paths, as they might be called—paths which led down from the summit at one point, and up /again at another—not a single communi cation between summit and base had escaped- obliteration- Those remaining paths I well knew, and had occasionally tried; but it was ticklish work. You looked uy> on the blank wall of a preci pice, and down on the Mediterranean ; a single false step would be destruction. To the gallant Captain, the very bulk and breadth of his corporeal presence ren dered the proposed expedition doubly dangerous. There was every reason to fear, even upon mechanical principles, that his centre of gravity would overlay the line at several points; and in the mildest manner I ventured to hinf that he would find the- usual path safer and more pleasant', - To ycra it may be,” he replied scorn fully, “but not to me. Let me tell you, sir, I have scaled mountains to which this rock is a mole-hill. I have a good head and I shall go. Take your own way, and give me leave to take mine. I don’t ask you to go with me, and I would not advise it.”

A boring, boastful man little imagines how disagreeable he makes himself, even tb those who wish him well. In this case there was nothing more to be said. The Captain, disappearing over the ridge, looked very much like a man stepping down into vacancy. Pursuing my course from the Rock Guard toward the Signal-house, I had covered about half the distance, when I heard a human voice. At the solitary elevation it sounded odd. Whence did it come ? It seemed to proceed from the left or ridge of the Rock. So !it was the -Captain. Nothing visible but his head ; he spoke in his usual gruff key, somewhat tremulous, though: “Here! Lend a hand.’

• I helped him up. He was blowzed, and prodigiously sweated; we woh’t say frightened, but to use the mildest term, a little “ excited. ” •He spoke vindictively. “You did’nt tell me I should meet anything ! Couldn’t go forward, couldn’t go back ; and only the breadth of a knife-board ! There I Was ! Much obliged to you ! ” ft A goat ?” I asked. It was well known in the garrison, and the Captain must have known it too, that the goats which browse on the Rock, in going from one part of the Rock to the other, do occasionally use those “ knife board ” paths along the face of the pre cipice, and when two of them meet, as there is no room to pass, and the outsider would infallibly be precipitated, one lies down, and the other walks over him. This led me to fancy that a goat had met the Captain, and that either he had laid himself along to be walked over by the goat, or the goat had done as much for “ Nonsense, goat! ” he exclaimed. (< What do you mean by goat J iso, sir! not a goat; a baboon. . „ Met you.at the back of the Rock? Oh, one of the Gibraltar apes, I suppose. They hide up here among the crags and crevices: but I never met one yet m that path, or in any like

When anything disagreeable has occurred, it is quite natural that we should feel thoroughly out of temper with every body, and just in the humour for wreak ing our vengeance on somebody, and so quarreling with the first person we meet. Such seemed to be the Captain s temper now. “ Sir,” said he fiercely, “ I did not say an ape, I said a baboon—and a pretty big one, too—full the size of the Governor s wolf-dog. Not so big a baboon, though, as some 1 have seen,” he added, with an insulting glance. (to be continued.)

Holloway’s Pills. —The extraordinary range of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely trying to the delicate-chested, the weak and nervous. All troubled by these 'afflictions should resolve to resort _ to the strengthening and regulating medicine immedi ately they perceive in themselves discomfort of that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion or bile. One of Holloway’s Pills taken about noon and followed at bed-time by a dose suffi ciently large to act appericntly will speedily recruit the faulty functions, and reUore order throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation and so successful in result should be known and practised when, from cold and sundry other causes, disease is at tempting to gain a vexatious footing.—Ad vt.
