MONSlEUR'S LITTLE GAME.
How French Matrimonial Agent Boom I'd

A matrimonial agent at Levallois-

special line of business, has just de-
camped with the money of numerous
victims. He had as his clients none
but plain or ugly damsels with dow
ries. who found a difficulty in getting

ing intending bridegrooms to the pros
pcct Of dOuble-blessedness with danes
whose features were the reverse of
fair. at the same time that he enabled
his lady clients to change their names
and find apparently eligible partners.
He simply had a select stock of private
friends, or rather confederates, who
took over the ladies and large
Jumps of their dowries. and
then. after a few weeks or
months, decamped most ignominious-
ly from the spOuses whom they had
promise to love aud cherish. The
agent. of course, received large COM
missions from the ladies, and more
over obtained sums of money from the
fugitive husband. The system worked
beautifully for a time-sO far as the
agent and his confederates were con-
cerned. Money rolled into his Office,
until one day lately he was suddenly
confronted by some of his outraged
clients, who. after sad experience. had
seen through his ''little game" These
ladies told their stories, complained
that bad characters had been foisted
upon them as husbands, and threat
ened to take legal proceedings against
their victimizer. The agent replied in
his blandest manner that he could not
guarantee exemplary husbands whose
conduct would be such as to keep the
course of married life forever smooth
and pleasant When his clients, how
ever, went away, the matrimonial
operator, remembering the threats
about legal proceedings, figuratively
speaking hauled down his colOrs, or
rather his sign-board and brass plate,
shut up his shop and disappeared,
most probably to foreign parts. Paris

A Fierce Struggle Betw cen . Mother
Turkey and Hawk.
The following incident. witnessed by
the writer, will strengthen the faith of
those who believe that birds and other
animals are not only endowed with in
stinct, but are capable of reasoning.
Five or six of us. well-armed for
hunting, were passing through tall
ferns and over fallen trees along the
level summit of one of the highest of
the Allegheny Mountains in North Car
DINA. when we came upon a brood of
wild turkeys, consisting of a cock and
hen with their young ones.
A short distance ahead of us the
ground rose abruptly to an elevation of
two hundred feet AS we pursued our
game it made toward this hill-all ex-
cept the gobbler. He at once flew far
away from danger. leaving the mother
bird to defend herself ard her brood.
Suddenly she gave cry of alarm. and
instantly the young birds ceased their
flight and concealed themselves in the
CStll l0rQS
On looking up toward the hill be-
fore us. we detected the cause of this
strange action. lowering above, and
apparently oblivious to the presence of
danger. was large hawk watching
intently the approach of its prey. The
mother turkey was certainly in 1.-The

panion, beset behind by huntsmen with
murderous intent. and before by her
most dreaded enemy, she illustrated
the maxim of war, 1T is the unexpect-

Trusting to the instict of her young
to keep quiet and hidden, she flew
swiftly to a high crag on the hill above,
keeping well out of sight of her chief
enemy, now gradually circling nearer
the earth.
When she had reached an elevation
above the hawk. she made bold to at
tack him. Up to this time he had not
detected the strategy. and now it was
too late. Vainly and frantically he en-

his antagonist. With tremendous flight
and wild scream of mingled fright
and fury, the turkey struck the hawk a
blow that carried the two combatants
so close to the earth as to bring them
within easy range of our guns
Up to this time we had remained
quiet spectators, but now we took our
part in the fray. With one impulse we
aimed our guns and fired. When the
smoke cleared away, we found only the
mangled remains of the hawk. Not
one of us had fired at the brave mother
bird; nor was it possible now to do so,
even if her courage and motherly devo-
tion had not altogether disarmed U.s..
