by the fire in her home when her cloth

so severe that she failed to recover
from the shock.
Della Stewart Parnell was born In
Philadelphia in 1916. She came OF dis

Admiral Stewart. who commanded t-.e

ATTACKED BY AN ELEPHANT.

| Explorer Cavendish's Thrilling Escap>
from Death in Africa.
| II. S. IL. Cavendish gave an interest
ng account of his recent trip to Africa
before the Royal Geographical Society.
Among the incidents he related was the
following account of n fight with a
wounded elephant, In which he narrow
y escaped death:
Il tried to dodge him, but he was too
| quick for me. and as l neared the thin
mimosa bush ! saw him just over me
with his trunk In the air. SO l threw
myself TO the left on my face and kept
still, thinking that the elephant might
20 on. He, however, stopped immedi-
ltely and, spinning around, knelt down
beside me, with his head right over me,
and took a drive at me with his tusks,
which / luckily avoided by rolling in
closer under his chest He then pushed
me under him with his trunk and tried
10 pound me with his knees, but, as luck
would have II, l was just out of his
reach. l kept dodging his legs as they
rame down. This continued, my boys
said. for half an hour, but he was very
much occupied watching my gunbear
Prs, who were shooting and shouting
from some distance off. At one moment
lie lay on me and 1 expected every mo-
ment TO hear the bones crack, but sud
denly his weight was lifted off me and
pretended l was dead, and, not wish
ing 10 see the coup de grace coming.
closed my eyes and remained quite still.
The boys told me afterward that he
got up and backed Off my body. and
knocked his leg against a log of wood
lying close behind. Mistaking the log
for me, he vented his rage upon 1t. He
must have been badly wounded. After
a time l heard the boys coming closer,
and. waiting till they were fairly near,
In case the elephant might not have
gone far, looked carefully round and
saw him standing some 10 yards off.
l got on my legs as fast as my bruises
would let me and staggered toward my
pony. The boys, Oh seeing me get up,
We're dumbfounded, and my groom,
who was a great, hulking fellow, want
ed to carry me, thinking l must have
some bones broken; but, although my
left leg was seriously bruised and my
scalp damaged, l was in oth0c respects
unhurt. London News

STORY OF FAMOUS FIDDLE
A Stradivarius Which Has Been Very
Little Used.

z
Little Used.
In connection with the death the 9TH
er day of Mr.. Laurie, the Glasgow VIC
lin expert, reference was made to his
having had through his hands the fam
Gus Stradivarius violin, which has come
to be known, somewhat irreverently, if
not absurdly, as 1.-The Messiah" The
Mr.. B. Crawford of Newpark, Trinity,
Edinburgh, who a few years ago paid
no less than f2,OOO for it. As recently
as 1872, Charles Reade (who knew as
much about fiddles as about the trade
of letters had valued the instrument at
$500, putting the worth of the yarnish
alone at 1865! Villaume, the high priest
of matchmaking in Paris, had it at this
time. He kept 1t till his death in 1873.
From Villaume the treasure descended
to NJ. Alard, the great French violinist
who gave fl 900 for it. He died In 1888
and two years later Mr.. Craw ford risk,
ed his f2,OOO for 1t.
There Is some reason for the high fig
ure. The instrument is the only one
that has come down from Stradivarius'
own hands in a state Of perfect preser-
walton. 1t has been very little played
upon, and its glowing, ruddy varnish is
as fresh as If 1t had been put on only
a week ago. Mr.. Crawford has a sec
ond .'Strad," and also a very fine Guar
nerius. 1t is but question of a few
years. and the instrumental it is ever
sold-will fetch a considerably higher
price.-Scots Pictorial.

Deceitfulnesa.

Two little girls. Mary Grey and Kit
tie Kendall, were seated in the school
room together. Mary was reading q
story book under cover of the desk
when Kittie suddenly said: Here
comes the teacher" The story-book
was at once pushed out Of sight and
both girls were busily engaged in the
study Of their history lesson, when the
teacher got to their desk, and with a
smile said: II am pleased to see two
such studiOus girls.
After she had left the room Kittie re
marked: wasn't 1t good thing l saw

No; think l would rather she had
seen me, and told me how wrong II
was. l don't think l should feel sc
mean," replied Mary.

AFLORiDA POCAhONTAs.
Roma ntic Story of Sixteenth Cen;ur.
Devotion anI Sacrifice.

Governor w. B. Bloxham inciden-
tally related the following legend in his
address welcoming the delegates of the
National Fishery Society to Tampa.
Fla:
Wherever the history of America is
:ead the story of PocahOntaS is known.
The romance is most captivating, and
some Of Virginia's most hOnOred sons
trace back lineage TO the daughter of
the forest. But the historic fact that a
similar scene was enacted on this very
spot three-quarterS of a century before
the name of Pocahontas was ever lisp
I'd by English lips Is unknown to even
many FlOridians. 1t was here in 152S.
twelve years before De Soto landed Oh
Tampa Bay, that Juan Ortez, a Spanish
youth of IS, having been captured at
Clear Water was brought before Hirri-
hugua, the stern Indian chief, in whose
breast was ranking a vengeance born
Of the ill treatment Of his mother by
the followers of the Inflated Narvaez
OrteZ was young and fair, but the cruel
chief had given the orders, and here
was erected a gridiron Of poles. and
young Ortez was bound and stretched
TO meet the demands Of a human sacr-
flee. The torch was being applied. the
cracking flames began to gather for a
human holocaust, when the stern
chiefs daughter threw herself at her
fathers feet and interposed In Ortez's
behalf. Her beauty rivaled that of the
historic dame whose heavenly charms
tn
arms The soft language OF her soul
flowed from her never silent eyes a.
she looked up through her tears Of SYM
pathy. imploring the life Of the young
Spaniard.
Those tears. the ever-ready weapon
of wOman's weakness, touched the
heart of even the savage chief, and Or
tez was for the time spared.
But the demon Of evil in few
months again took possession Of Hirri-
hugua, and his deughter saw that even
her entreaties would be unavailing.
She was betrothed to MucOso, the
young chief OF a neighboring tribe
Their love had been plighted, that God
given love that rules the savage breast
Her loving heart told her that Ortez
would be safe in MucOsO's keeping. At
The dead hour Of night she accompanied
him beyond danger and placed in his
hand such token as Mucoso would rec
ognize
she acted none too soon. As the
sun rose over this SPOT. its rays fell up
On the maddened chief calling in vain
tor the intended victim Of his ven
