The Curious Consignment Which Has

Herman Reiche, the New York animal
importer has just received a consignment
of simon-pure blood-sucking vampires.
They are awful looking creatures, with
wicked little black eyes which twinkle in
a gloating way.
In looks they resemble huge grayish
brown bats, with long, leathery black
wings wrapped around their bodies. At
short periods they emit a singularly acute,
sharp. and piercing scream. and the
aroma which surrounds them is strong
enough 10 hang hat on. just over the
nose is curious membrane, of leaf like
shape, and they have two rows OF sharply
pointed teeth, which look like ivory
needles.
The female vampire is provided with a
membrane which stretches on each side
of her body from her tail to her hind legs,
thus forming IA pouch, in which she car

effect their deadly work. They come
silently, when the natives are sleeping and
search for the exposed foot, hand, or
face. Posing itself above them with its
extended wings, which produces a cool,
pleasant breeze and soolhes the slumberer
into deeper repose, the vampire then
applies its needle pointed teeth to the up
turned toe with such quickness and adroit
deXterity that no pain is caused by the
