The April Lippincott's Magazine.

"Lippincotl's Magazine" has won repu.
tation for its monthly novels That in the
April number, stunning good one called
"The Trfler," is written by Archibald Eyre,
an English author of rising fame "The
Trller," member of London's smartest So
ciety, has a kind heart and an almost too
keen sense of humor He is appealed to by
his new sister-in-law to extricate her from an
appalling situation. A man to whom she
had once been engaged and had Tilted for Sir
Gerald Trewint has had her love.letters
printed "for private circulation only" "The
Trliler," having himself felt the brunt of his
brothers anger, shows quick sympathy for
the bride and rashly promises assistance. In
executing plan to effectually stop the whole
thing he is taken for thief. This leads to
some delicate predicaments and amusing
escapades. "rhe Trifler' shows he can be
earnest enongh in winning the girl he
ardently loves.
The tale bearing on the great Coal Strike
by Edith Robinson called San Involuntary
Benefaclor" is a clever instance of contrary
fate versus millions. A terrapin dinner, in
tended to oil the wheels and turn them to-
wards capitalists designs, goes astray and
iulhls far different purpose. The strike Is
won by his sympathy.

The thrill of the fre-bells is felt in read

effect mad ride to fire and its results.

TRAPPING eRMlNe.
Different Methods For the Full

Different Methods For the Full
Grown and Baby Animals.
The colder the climate the finer the
fur, says the author of THE Greatest
Fur Company of the World" in Frank
Leslie's Magazine, and the difficulties
of obtaining the rare furs are many.
Ermine is at its best when the cold Is
most intense, the tawny weasel coat
turning from fawn to yellow. from vel
low to cream and then to snow white,
according to the latitude and the sea-
son.
Fox, lynx, marten, otter and bear the
trapper can take with steel traps of n
size varying with the game or even
with the clumsy but efficient deadfall
but the crmine, the fur of which is as
easily damaged as the finest gauze,
must be handled differently.
The hunter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny tracks like
the dots and dashes of the telegraphc
alphabet Here are little prints slur.
ring into one another in a dash; there
a dead stop, where the quick cared
stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert,
for snowbird or rabbit; here, again, a
clear blank on the snow, wheret the crafty
little forager has dived below the light
surface and wriggled forward like a
snake, to dart up with plunge of his
fangs into the heart blood of the un-
wary snow bunting.
From the length of the leaps the trap
per judges the age of the ermine. The
full grown ermine has hair too coarse
to be damaged by a snare. If, there
fore the tracks indicate full l.own
animal, the trapper suspends the moose
of looped twine or wire across the
runway from bent twig, which, when
released, springs upward with a jerk
that lifts the ermine off the ground
and strangles 1t.
If the tracks are like the prints Of a
baby's fingers, close and small, the
trapper hopes to capture pelt fit for a
throne cloak. Perfect fur would be
marred by the twine snare, so the trap
per devises as cunning a death for the
ermine as the ermine devises when it
darts up through the snow and fixes its
spearike teeth in the throat of rabbit.
First he smears his hunting knife
with grease; then he lays 1t across the
track. The little ermine comes trotting
in dots and dashes and gallops and
dives to the knife. The knife is frosted
like ice. Ice the ermine has licked, so
he licks the knife. But, alas, for the
resemblance between ice and STEEL Ice
turns to water under the warm tongue;
steel turns to fire that blisters and holds
the foolish little stoat by his inquisitive
tongue, n hopeless prisoner, until the
trapper comes.

His Awful Curiosity.

again put the same question to the
same man, and he repeated the same
answer in the same suffering way.
When she approached him for the third
time with the same query, he said to
her: "W-why do y-y-you a-a-ask me

A MUTUAL. aURPRiss.
The Meeting Between nm Ambitions
Hunter and IIia First Grizzly.


In sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert $. Evans tells al
amusing anecdotc of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly hear
In procession. The incident occurred
In the woods near the site of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke, it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating a return TO his hotel
several miles distant.
Just then n rustllng and cracking
noise from n clump Of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked a grizzly bear, monarch
of his kind. He yawned, licked his
Jaws and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
ly was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 90 PAGES when n female bear fol-
lowed him, and an instant later third
grizzly followed her at slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
30 yards. Then. scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet and
uttered frenzied yell-yell upon yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air. turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her, gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads of
rock going down shoot" straight for
the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed at
top speed for the hotel, leaving hat and
gun behind. The truth of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks of differ
ent sizes found In the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit.
