HAD SAVAGE LOVERS.
Women of Refinement Who Floped
with Coarse Barbarians.
Phase OF Love-MaI1ing Which Ia
Above the Average COmprehen-
sion - Notable Cases Witch
Have Become Historic.

The student of mysteries who NAV
have tired of trifing with such sub
iects as the food supply of the plan.
cts might be advised to devote his at
tentlon TO solving the problem of the
love OF some women for men who are
morally, physically and intellectually
their interiors. 1t is one of those
things no ordinary mind can under
stand.
1t was only few years ago that the
daughter of a johannesburg physi-
clan ran away with a Zulu chief who
CHANGED to visit the Rand about some
gold he had discovered in the land
under his control. The girl, who was
only II, is described as having been
unusually good-looking, of very sweet
disposition and refined tastes.
When it was first discovered that
she had run away with the savage the
general opinion obtained that the
chief had kidnapped her; but when she
was tracked to the mans hut and
asked to return home it was found
shat not only had she run away Of
her own free will, but she absolutely
refused to leave the chief, even though
she had had some three weeks in which
to learn the degradation of her posi-
tson, and the chief had offered to ex-
change her for few trifes. What
eventually became of her will prob
ably never be known.
The young wife of French gentle
man, while staying in Alexandria. be-
came desperately enamored with q
half-caste who used to visit the mar
ket-place occasionally. The fact that
this lady and the savage, for he was
nothing else, meA frequently in the
public streets of Alexandria was not
even suspected by her husband until
the two had flown away together. With
the lady went all the money and Jew
els she could hurriedly collect, which
amounted to a considerable sum, as
she had a large fortune.
The black was noted in Alexandria
as one of the most evil-looking desert
