THE "RABBTT WOMAN"
A Familiar and Most Interesting Fig
ure in Broadway, New YOrk's
Greatest Street.

A writer in st. Nicholas, Mr.. George
A. Williams, tells the readers of that
popular magazine good deal about the
rabbit Woman" whose shop is part
of the sidewalk in Broadway, near
Twenty-third street. Frau Zehner, bet
ter known in New York city as the
rabbit Woman" is native of Saxony.
She is of good family, her father hav-
ing been a physician in Leipsic. She
came to this country in 1882, and hav-
ing met with reverses in fortune, was
obliged to earn her living. Renting
place on Twenty-third street, she sold,
for number of years, small trinkets
and toys for the children. Frau Zehner
has happy disposition, and readily
makes friends among the children, al
ways having a bright smile and pleas
ant word for her little customers.
But she was not destined always to
deal in toys. One of her street neigh
bors, an aged woman who sold small live
rabbits, one morning did not come as
usual, to her stand. The farmer that
supplied her with Dummies was on hand
with basketful. When he saw the old
woman was not there. he looked around

MURDEROUS ELEPHANT.
Dan Rice. the Old Circus Man, Tells
How He Found n Boy Keeper
for the Vicious Romeo.

My elephant, Romeo, was murderous
brute. Before coming to this country
he had killed three men, and after his
arrival he killed four more.
l bought Romeo in Berlin in the late
forties. On the journey to this country
he killed his keeper on shipboard.
Later he killed Joe Mobiles in Pitts
burgh, Frank Gray in Louisville, Calvin
Porter near indianapolis, and little Ed
die Smith near Yonkers, n. Y. The
great creature either killed or fright
ened away every person who had the
care of him but one, and that was a
keeper of his own selection. The story
of how the selection was made is inter-
esting.
1t was at little town in Duchess
county, n. Y. A throng of oilers sur
rounded the notorious elephant one
morning. Among them was a 12-year-
old boy, named Arthur Searles, the son
of a local mechanic. He unconsciously
stood dangerously close to Romeo, who
suddenly put out his trunk, grasped the
lad around the body, and raised him to
his back.
When he had securely seated the boy,
Romeo lowered his trunk and left him
there, more surprised than frightened.
The keeper, believing that another
tragedy was imminent, called to the
boy to slide down the creatures side

of which he was very fond. This the

When the Time Came, but He Never

Mulvaney had been taken on the

This night he took up beat for the

at the rear of the big Woodward avenue

Once in awhile Mulvaney would look
at his watch at the corner of Gratiot

electric light hung over the street.
Then he would thrust the great silver
tlmepiece back into an inside pocket,
and, buttoning his coat close over it,
would resume his journey down the
street.
1t was just little past midnight. No
one had crossed Mulvaney's path since
ten but two drunken men, and he had
seen nothing out of the usual but cat
having a fit on an ash barrel behind
one OF the upper corners on the beat.
At the lower end he walked back

Mulvaney stopped. He glanced up at
the back windows of a big Woodward

glahce and Mulvaney gasped. Against
the panes, away up there on the fourth
floor, he clearly discerned the outlines
of two human forms.
"Boorglars, be gobb!" exclaimed
Mulvaney. The sight meant action on
his part. He crawled into the alley.
All the lower windows of the big
store we're barred. They had not been
tampered with.
Mulvaney ran around to the front
and aroused the Woodward avenue Off

He explained the discovery hastily.

and peered around the corner. There
stood the figures by the window.
The three men whispered. They
drew their revolvers, and of a sudden
all three stood upright. Throw up

Throw up your hands!" cried the
