alias Walker, who has been in the Mis-

released only last July.
Here he deposited a check for $500 on
an eastern bank. with the understand
ing that he was not to check against
the account until it had been collected.
He represented himself as a business
man. and took a check book with him
in the usual manner.
He went at once to a jeweler, bought
a diamond and gave his check in pay
nent. At his suggestion the jeweler
telephoned the bank and found that
Darling had deposited a check, for $500
there and he then accepted his check
without further question. That was
the last seen of Darling.
He is said to have victimized several
others for smaller amounts. He tried
two other jewelers.. but was not sue

The thrifty peasant manages to get

next he prunes the heads into a hollow

The actual work OF the day has he

the midshipmen are trained to walk
with a quick step and at a lively gait.
The lei in the class sQuads-from six

In close formation. 1t does not take
them long to go from n building to

are three recitation periods Of two

as his own particular branch of the pro.
fession Of being ready to fight. When
his task is over at $50 the midship-
man has an hour and n half Of recrca-
ton. This is the playtime Of the day.
The boys are then on the athletic field
engaged in football or baseball prac-
tice. depending on the time Of the year:
sailing In catboats on the harbor or in
dulging in other amusements that they
may choose. But during that hour they
are still under the rules governing gen.
eral conduct.
When 6:55 ON the men are called
to supper. and at 100 the midship.nen
must be in their rooms again and at
their books. The study period is two
hours long. There is a half hours re-
Taxation before bedtime. during which
the young men may visit each others
rooms. but at 20 o'clock all lights must
be out.
For five days in the week this Is the
u%nvarying routine. with the exception
Of two hours liberty Wednesday after
moo for the first class. On Saturday
and Sunday there Is a change. Vary
ing with the length Of time which they
have spent In the academy. liberty is
granted to all midshipmen on these
two days Of the week. The members Of
all four classes are permitted to leave
the grounds after the roll call to din
ner. but they must return before the
formation for supper. After the supper
call the members Of the first and Sec
ond classes have permission to 60 again

are required to be back by $50. They
may or may not eat their supper at the

TRAINING A LION.
4 Daring Performance That Had .
Very Simple Explanation,

Very Simple Explanation.
Not long ago a lion tanner who was
exhibiting in q German circus in Hol.
land attracted immense crowds at ev.
cry performance by doing what seemed
to be the most daring of acts in the
lions cage. He would climb into the
cage with great pieces Of meat and
throw 1t to the roaring beasts. The
moment they had leaped upon it he
would spring among them and put his
foot on it. The animals would growl
furiously. and then. just as the specta.
tors were all waiting breathlessly, ex.
pecting that the beasts would tear him
to pieces, they would shrink back.
cowed. After be had repeated this ex-
citing act for many days an English-
man made a wager with him for a big
SUN Of money that he would not dare
to do 1t after the lions had been starved
for three days. The trainer considered
Tor a moment and then accepted the
wager. making only the condition that
he be allowed to have three weeks of
preparation.
At the end OF three weeks the trainer
announced that he was ready. and the
process Of starving the lions began.
The Englishman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night to make
certain that not a morsel Of food should
be given to the animals. At the expira-
don of the three days all Amsterdam
rushed to the circus. The lions were
maddened with hunger. as any n
could e and hear. for they roared
continually, and their attempts to
break through the bars showed how
angry they had become. In the height
Of the uproar the trainer entered the
cage with an immense piece Of beef in
his arms. He tossed 1t on the floor of
the cage. raised his whip and. 10. not
n lion dared to approach 1t. The
mighty brutes lay crouched, roaring
and growing 30 hard that their great
frames shook, and each kept his ter.
rife yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the
meat. But not one Of them stirred.
The trainer stopped. lifted the beef
and tossed 1t to them again, and in y
moment the lions were In a great
tawny ball. rending and snarling and
tearing. with blood from the mangled
beef squirting all over the cage. The
E~nglishman paid his bet and then tried
to find out how the lion tanner had &C.
quired such wonderful control over his
beasts. At first the man would not
tell, but at last he consented to ex-
plain it. During the three weeks pc
Rod Of preparation he had always
starved the Lions from the very begin.
ming. Then, on the fourth day. he
would enter the cage with a piece Of
beef which had bean soaked In kero-
sene OIL. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon i than they would shrink
away. sickened BY the stencil. Then
he would throw them q fresh and good
piece Of beef. which they would devour
