right on. take the first fight Of stairs
to the right and you will be swallowed
up in the gang in minute"
This opinion was well grounded.
Mrs. Goddard crossed the deck, de-
scended the steps in question and found
herself in throng of passengers with
eyes only for the little boat ahead of
them. Our adventures was soon on
the tender, and took the most remote
seat she could find in the stern of the
boat 1t soon began to move.
The lights of Liverpool lay along the
shore half mile distant. The black
hull of the Cleopatra doomed overhead
like a Threatening cloud. Mrs. God
dard held her satchel tightly in her
| lap. 1t seemed such a short distance
and yet the little boat seemed only to
creep. She drew the foggy air deep
into her lungs. 1t seemed so sweet aft
er her close confinement. She would
feel that she had earned the right to
her freedom when she got it. After
awhile, through the gray light of COM
ing dawn. she began to discern the
buildings of the city.
A little later the tender was scrap
ing against the piles of the wharf. AS
she went ashore, Mrs. Goddard saw
that two or three sleepy custom Off
GERS were hurriedly passing the hand
luggage without examination. 1t was
evident that only the trunks would
have to bear close scrutiny. One of the
officers caught her arm and turned her
round, but when he saw how small her
bag was, he gruf1y begged her pardon
and she passed on out of the throng
into the cold. deserted streets of the
sleeping city.
"The dead is alive" she muttered,
''and very much alive!"
Without much trouble she found the
Hamilton house, and MRS. Charles
Gray" was soon in a big comfortable
room.
Nov. if Lucy only passes the custom
officers safely there will not be one
single thing TO bother me-" she said.
"And what is to hinder her?"
But as the morning passed and her
companion did not appear, her elation
changed to anxiety. What could have
delayed the woman? Surely something
had arisen, even at this late hour, to
rouse suspicion. Mrs. Goddard walked
the floor like Gagged beast. Noon came
and passed.. and the afternoon dragged
itself along at snails pace. She was
afraid to go out in the street. For
aught she knew the police, having ar
rested her accomplish, was now turn
ing Liverpool upside down to find trace
of her. The first shadows of night

fall were like palpable substances
which rasped a brain now inf1amed
with fears and direful imaginings.
'EXposure!" seemed to be written in
letters of fire on the unlighted walls of
her chamber. "Suicide." was the next
word she saw, but she brushed it aside.
She would not even think of such a
step. Even after this game was played,
and had entertained the victims of the
nine-day sensation habit, there would
yet be other fields for the exercise of
her fruitful brain. The world had al
ways seemed so large to her-so full
of resources.
At ten o'clock she heard some one
coming up the stairs. She weighed the
tread, wondering if it was a police
mans. No, it was too light for that. 1t
was a woman's. Opening the door, she
saw Mrs. Nolan standing before her in
the iil-lighted corridor. She drew her
in, her fears completely dominating
her speech.
Il know you are angry, but 1 could
not help it?" began Mrs. Nolan in
harsh undertone.

Natives of the KaIahari Country in
Africa Seize Them by
the Tail.

A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South
Africa in the first half of the century,
was able to gather much information
about life and sport in that country.
He gives his authority for most singu-
lar mode of attack upon the lion, says
Youths Companion.
Mr. Lemue, who formerly resided at
Motto, and is familiar with the Kala-
hari country, assured me that the re-
markable accounts sometimes circulat-
ed as to the people of that part of Afri-
ca catching lions by the tail, and of
which, ! confess, / was very incredu-
lous, were perfectly true. He well
knows that the method prevailed, and
was certainly not uncommon among
the people.
Lions would sometimes become ex-
tremely dangerous. Having become ac-
customed to human flesh, they would
not willingly eat anything else. When
a neighborhood became infested, the
men would determine on the measures
to adopted to rid themselves OF the
nuisance. Then, forming themselves
into a band, they would proceed in
search of their royal foe.
As the men stood close by one an
other, the lion would make a spring on
some one of the party-every man, of
course, hoping that he might escape
the attack-when instantly others
would dash forward and seize his tail
close to the body, lifting him up with
all their might. Thus they not only
astonished the animal and took him
absolutely off his guard, but they rem
dered his efforts powerless for the mo-
ment. Other men closed in with their
spears, and pierced the monster
through and through.
All this was done, not for the exciting
pleasure of a lion-hunt nor as an ex-
hibition of prOwess, but to rid the
neighborhOod of the villages of a
dreadful enemy, and to save the men
themselves from becoming in their
turn the breakfast or the supper of
this monarch of the desert.
