pleaded temporary financial embar-
rassment. The victims who live in
Buffalo have nearly all found hus-
bands since their experience with
Woodruff Some found out that they
had been deceived before they married
again. others took it for granted that
Woodruff was dead.
There is something peculiar about
the mans arrest. 1t was made on an

was the complainant. She has since
married again. She made the charge
against Woodruff when she found that
he had also married the Kent woman.

own statement, supported by proof,
Woodruff had been living in Bufalo
for two years before he was arrested.

When they were yet considerable
way down the jungle path they heard
a strang moan or whine, quite differ
ent from the usual lordly roar Of the
jungle king.
Advancing with infinite precaution,
they presently caught sight OF the
creatures huge bulk. He was squat
ting upon his launches, pulling back
upon his left fore leg, which was
caught in the sawteeth OF the trap,
about half way to the knee.
There was little indication OF strug-
gle. The beast had been cowed by
the pain, and beyond pulling feebly at
1ae trap, was making no effort to free
himself.
His whine continued. There was in
II nothing Of the expression Of anger.
This may have occurred in the earlier
stages Of the struggle, but was long
past now. The cry was like a prayer
for mercy to the god Of tigers.
The face of the beast conveyed an
almost human expression Of suffering.
The tiger, like all other wild beasts,
is intensely egotistlcal. This trapped
tiger was fully occupied with his own
thoughts. At another time he might
have been more Observant. Now he
did not observe the figures of the men
stealing toward him. One OF them had
a camera. He dropped his gun and
focused his instrument for twenty
feet.

The most interesting forest photo
graph ever taken was sent not long
ago from Sumatra to London by j.
Stafford Ransome, an English resident
of that far-away Dutch island. 1t
shows huge Bengal tiger squatt!ng
on his launches and whining like a
whipped cat, his great paw held in a
crushing grip by an enormous steel
trap.
Tiger trapping is In sumatra a
favorite method Of getting rid OF the
dangerous man-eaters. 1t Is custom
ury to build for their entertainment a
pretty little hotel of stout bars lashed
together, wherein luscious food such
rs tigers like is placed for them. When
the tiger enters the door shuts down
upon him and he Is prisoner.
But suppose the tiger is not hungry
enough to enter the narrow room pro-
vided for him?
Against such case other means OF
detention are provided. 1t is pre-
sumed that the tiger will at least
prowl round and round the cage, sniff
1ing at the goat and making UP his
mind whether to enter.
A huge spring trap is accordingly
set close to the door and covered ovel
with leaves. The tiger does the rest

Mrs. Caroline Woodruff, who mar
