lie was well appearing and was not
slow to display large roll of money
which he rendered landlord Ladd for
safe keeping. Mr.. Ladd refused to
accept same as he had no safe in
which to place it. The next move
ment of the man was to volunteer the
information that he had bought out
Jerry Washington at Marietta, and
that he owned an extensive cattle
rancL in the far north-west-in fact
that he was regular creOsus ofmod-
ern proportions. He offered to pay
Mr., Ladd a princely salary to GO
with him giving him choice between
taking charge of the Washington
place or any one OF his numerous wcs-
tern possessions. Mr.. Ladd was
favorably impressed and was Sc
riously considering his propositions
when all at once his anticipations
were suddenly and cruelty blasted
Jerry Washington appeared in Ard

thoroughly satisfy himself asked him
relative to the transaction. Mr..
Washington was surprised to learn
that such rumor could have gained
credence as he had never been even
approached on the subject of selling.

son and demanded an explanation,

least.

4 Gam cless Country.

The West Indian archipelago, with its
four islands and numberless islets. is called
the gameless country because in region
of more than 100000 square miles there are
no monkeys, no bears, raccoons, wild hogs
1aguars, pumas, panthers, lynx, wildcats,
foxes, wolves or jackals. There are NOS
even woodchucks to be dug out of the many
caves.
On the highlands there are no bisons
deer, antelope or rabbits. Dogs and cats,
too, are unknown, and this lack of house
hold pets seems TO have driven the aborie-
ines to expedients, for in "a book called
"Ogilvy's Voyages" there is story told of
San Domingo native who kept a tame
manatee that made it's headquarters in an
artificial pond and was so well trained that
when called by name it would come out of
the water, go to natives house, and after
receiving food it returned to the pond ac-
companied by boys who seemed to charm
1t by singing, and often it carried two chill
dren on its back. Its instinct was wonder
ful. 1t was once struck by pike in the
hands of Spaniard and after that always
refused to come out of the water when
there was clothed man near.
The largest land animal of this strange
territory is huge rat, measuring eighteen
inches in length without the tail. With
this exception, Cuba, San Domingo, ia
maica and Costa Rica have no land ami
