The fur of the silver fox is very
costly. To escape paying duty on ar
ticles fashioned from this fur, a couple
of ladies resorted to trickery. A fe-

the way the ladies walked on stepping
from the European steamer. She

For war must be, and braves must die.

And yet we do not know, alas!
On what strange hunting-grounds they
