Many Skulls in a Cryut

In the crypt of St. Leonarad's
church at Hythe. England, are 1000
skulls. The remains have been the sub
ject. of much discussion by scientists.
They were once declared to be the
bones of Danish invaders; now the bal
ance of opinion assumes that they are
the outcome of a battle fought be-
tween Vcrtimer, prince of the Brit
ms, aAd the invading Saxons about
A. d. 456. Many Of the skulls bear the
marks of the battle-ax. On s cable on
one side of the crypt are placed two
skulls, which are declared to be twp
ical Saxon and British, one being long
and narrow. the other short and broad.
The custodian points out in another
part of the crypt what he contemptu
ously describes as common church

turned tail and ran sideways, l after
him, raining blows upon his back, some
of which, l am sure, took effect. Next
heard the young wood lining one side
| of the road creak and rustic. The
panther had leaped into the thicket
and made off in a hurry"
Then the count jumped into the CAR
riage, took the reins from his wife's
hands, and, giving her the lantern, told
her to wave it in order to keep off pos
sible other intruders of the sort just
encountered. But the horses were
too frightened to move at once, and 1t
took a lot of persuasion and no end of
whipping to make them go. Once
coaNed to gallOp, they few along the
road at breakneck speed. mo tcoika
chased by wolves ever made letter
time" says the countess.
The viceroy is undecided as to what
circumstances he shall attribute their
marvellous delivery, and, courageous
man that he is, he hesitates about TAX
ing too much credit to himself "The
color of the horses, my lantern, the
fact that the beast was cramme,l with
food-all worked together" he said to
his military household upon reaching
home. That is probably true, but the
person with the rhinoceros whip, adj
vancing upon 300 pound king of the
wilderness as if he was an unruly house
dog, was evidently the decisive figure
in the one sided battle.
But don't forget the countess"
wrote Won Goetzen to Kaiser Wilhelm:
"who but nervy American woman
could have managed those plunging
horses at the crucial moment? Ninety
nine out of a hundred women would
have tainted, the hundredth would have
jumped out to seek salvation in flight,
or would have run me over to get away.
Not so her eXcellency. She held the
horses in a firm grip, and at the same
time coaXed and encouraged them with
the best German at her command.
Then. as we drove home, standing up
right in the carriage to keep the frenz-
led animals under control, the countess
leaned far out waving the lan6rn, once
as a protection against other wild
beasts that might follow us and again
as a signal for our servants"
81 really had no time to be afraid,
except for that momentary twitching
at the roots of the hair, but confess
it makes me shudder when think OF
the savage cry the panther uttered as
he leaped into the bushes, " writes the
countess.
"The danger that threatened the
first lady in the land and the way in
which she conducted herself on this
trying OCCASION" say the kaiser's re-
ports. shave increased, if possible, the
respect in which her excellency is held
bv natives and whites alike"

box of which had been lowered to
allow the count to handle the reins
from his accustomed place. Their
team was pair Of grays, light in

Having heard that wild animals will
rarely attack persons clad in white,
the kaiser sent the countess two white

The viceroy continues: 1.-THE rear
ing mares had smasheS the lantern in

rear of the carriage 20 get the one
fastened there. 1t was of the Aneri-
can, electrical kind, giving out big,

again passed by my wife, she handed
me heavy whip of rhinoceros, which,
on that day, had confscated on 0ne
of the outlying plantations, as it is
against the law to use this terrible
instrument of punishment, that, at
one time, no native chief or slave
holder could do without.
"The whip weighs about fifteen
pounds and many poor black devils

kind. To reassure my wife l said, in
advancing: If it's dog he won't hold

raised his tail, a powerful appendage,

himself appeared to be some three feet

81 struck him a terrible blow with
the rhinoceros whip across the face,

another across the shoulders. There

"HE vast German possessions in
Africa are ruled by a governor
general, who exercises auto
cratic functions over natives and set
tiers alike. The present viceroy is
Count Won GOetzen, the husband of a
charming American woman, who was
Mrs. William Matthew Lay, of Wash
ington, and before that May Lowney,
of Baltimore. Her position in Ger
man Africa is frequently hkened to
that Of the wife of the viceroy of India,
Lady Curzon, nee Letter, of Chicago;
but as a matter of cold fact, it is even
more consequential. The countess is
queen of half a million more subjects
than the regent of Bavaria, and the
kings of Wuerttemberg and Saxony
combined reign over fewer people than
her ladyship. When she rides to
parade ten regiments of well-trained
troops lower their colors before her.
Count Won Goetzen has been a trav-
.eler all his life, and his bravery has
earned for him many medals, both at
home and abroad. His latest feat of
courage was saving his wife from the
fate of being eaten alive by a giant
panther.
His was deed of prodigious valor-
having no firearms, he drove off the
maneater with a whip of rhinocerous
skin that CHANGED to be in his carriage.
Count Won Goetzen is the absolute
ruler of a territory embracing l, 47O, Alb
square miles and 6,55O,OOO of blacks.
The adventure here told occurred
about a month ago, in the evening, on
the Pugu road, about one mile outside
of Dar-es-Salam, capital of the Ger
man African empire, as the count and
countess were returning from a visit
to friends living on a plantation near
the edge of the virgin forest, an hour
or so further in the interior.
