FOLSOM SIMPSON MADE A BRILLIANT Dis
PLAY OF HIS SKILL.
Between 8 and 10 o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning the heavy knocker of the
residence of the late Miss LivermOre was
sounded, and the maid who answered it
found the rotund Mr.. Simpson awaiting
her. With polite bow he asked:
as Miss Glider inG"
''She u.s." was the unexpected reply.
DO you wish to see herr"
If it is convenient for her to receive a
brief business call, will be obliged"
The servant drew back the door, and he
stepped into the hall. There was no
reason for Mr.. Simpson assuming any
other name than his own, for no one be-
sides Manson suspected his identity or
business in Ellenville. Chief Varick had
sent one of his men direct to DR.. Maid
hoff, who was thus placed on his guard.
He deemed it wise to send another trust
ed person, of whom the physician should
knowSothing
Miss Glider, who entered the parlor a
few minutes later, was bright, pretty
brunette, vivacious in manner, graceful
and the thorough lady at all times
Simpson rose, hat in hand, and apologize

Fiction said

aunt has made it necessary TO place this
property in the. market, learning which

a friend of mine"
"You are right, but the matter is In
theh ands Of the eXecutors-Dr. Maidhoff
and Mr.. Birchott."
"Of course; but, if | am not presum-
ing too much, will be obliged if you
will permit me TO take a look through
the house"
There can be no objection TO that"
she promptly responded, rising and lead
ing the way through the hall TO the va.
rious rooms in turn.
The visitor had already noticed prepa-
rations for removal on the part of the
occupants. They were visible in every
room, but were Of no special interest.
He went through the farce of inspecting
each apartment in turn, but without
seeming to do so he ended the sur
vey in the large dining room, where
stood the heavy iron safe, which pos.
sessed peculiar attraction to him.

The Zebra in Harness.


That picturesque aud stunted-looking
creature, the zebra, has besn rescued from
the apparent doom of extinction, as his race
has been gradually disappearing before the
march of civilization and the demands Of
menageries and geological gardens The
animal was believed 10 be untamabIe, and
therefore, of no practical use to humanity
The owner of a line of coaches at Pretoria,
In South Africa, has demonstrated the con-
trary. Last October lie bought eight half
grown wild Zebras, put them into training
Tor harness, and in months time four
were perfectly quiet and well trained, and
the other four partially so. They are now
running regularly in one of the Transyaal
coaches, and as they are impervious to tho
disease known as horse sickness in that
country. they are likely to supersede mules
in all the coach lines. The novelty of a

zens of the Orient are likely TO become the
