dangerous position.
Miss Metcalfe was born in Missouri
26 wears ago. is an attractive brunette.
refined. retiring and accomplished. AS
vet she has not decided what costume to
wear when on duty as a warden. She
has independent but not radical ideas
Of dress. Skirts and such things she
considers out of place when woman
is horseback riding or cycling. She is
not in favor of equal suffrage and takes
no part in politics except to vote. Il

camp without trophy of her proves.
With the exception Of some slight at

without any particular discomfort.
Among the animals brought back by
this intrepid married couple were three
wildcats. one OF which is now in I'll,

wild adventure.
