Hanna's home is at Cleveland, and
there she was reared in all the luxury
that affiuence and indulgent parents
could bestOW upon her. For several
seasons she has been one of the lead
ing society lights in the national cap
ital. While Senator Hanna has never
been noted for his leadership except IN
politics, he has given several notable
receptions at Washington. and at these
his daughter has been conspicuous and
has won all hearts by her grace and
beauty. She is, withal, young woman
of rare tact and intelligence and is ac.
cOmplished in all those arts that lend
charm to the society girl of the
period. In any society she would be
regarded as a leader, independently of
her fathers exalted position. Her de-
meanOr is exceedingly modest and she
has never sought L. obtrude herself.
Nevertheless, her presence at all the
leading social functions at the capital
has been greatly IN request during the
two seasons that have elapsed since
her debut. Mr. Mccormick has been
for a number of years connected with
several of the leading Chicago clubs.

was late by this time l didn't go back
until the next day. When I got out
there l found several TRUSTEES guard
ed by their keepers working in the
garden. l saw my friend of the day
before busy with a large knife top
ping turnips. He glanced up at me,
and saw a quick, angry CLEAN shoot
into his eyes.
~ had TO climb a tree in an isO-
lated part of the yard to unfasten
wire that had in some way caught on
a limb. l connected my test set and
called up the wire chief and eX-
planned the case to him, so with the
20 minutes must have passed. !
started to get down, and when l
reached the lower limb looked for a
place to drop. But l didn't drop, for
there, standing at the foot of the
tree, stood my crazy man, the knife
still in his hand.
Gone down" he yelled. 4 know
you. You are the man that stole my
5000. Give it up to me, or l viii kill
you, you thief! Come down or l viii
come up there and cut your heart
out!'
But I didn't come. l scrambled
higher and yelled for help.
About this time another inmate
came sauntering along and at once
took a hand in the game and held
the plank for my friend, who soon
made good headway, and 1 saw in a
few moments he would reach me. J
Il yelled again, but no one came.
At that instant an idea flashed into
my brain. l quickly attached the
test set and called the wire chief at
the office.
"'For heavens sake call up the in
sane hospital and tell them to send
help to me, or I am a dead man!
There are two lunatics after me and
one of them is coming up the tree
with knife foot long! Hurry, hur-
ry, for Gods sake!'
with a surprised exclamation he
cut me out. l looked down and found
coming toward me, snarling like a
wildcat.
Closer he came, until he was Just
below me. when he seated himself on
a large limb, and, fiourishing the
knife, yelled:
"Look at this. Amt it a beaut?
Won't it cut you, though? It is
sharpl I will cut you up like a
steak!'
"He started toward me and had
one hand on my foot. and l had just
raised the other to kick him, when
several keepers rushed up; two of
them climbed the tree, and just as
he raised the knife to strike they
reached him and threw a rope around
him. So intent was he on doing for
me that he did not see them, ane was

ly dead. He then jumped on the bloody
carcass, furiously stamping on it till
it was a shaPeless mass.
Meanwhile the COWS were having
hard time with No ,. But they man
aged things differently and had affairs
more the own way. They ran toward
the gator and, Watching their chance,
jumped on him. This was done re-
peatedly and the gator diG not get
chance hardly to strike back One COW
Ventured too close and the gators
long tail came around with a thud and
struck her fairly on the side, sending
her a dozen feet. The others, enraged
by this, followed their charges by try
ing 20 gore the gator. He kept out
of their way by striking at them and
trying to seize their noses in his Jaws
One COW was caught by this means and
half thrown As she stood there trem-
bling and moaning with pain, the bull,
who had just finished his victim, heard
her. He came up with a roar and
with the utmost fury pitched at the
gator. The willy 5aurian heard him
coming and had turned half around
when the bull caught him on his horns
half lifting him from the ground. The
gator clawed and bit at its antagonist
and the fight for several minutes was
a warm and bloody one. Finally the
bull triumphed and got the gator un-
der his feet, when ne trampled him 20
death.
No. was all this time trying to get
the calf into deep water, bat the little
fellow was fighting as well as he
could and bleating loudly. The gator
had gotten him into two feet of water
when Mr.. Carew appeared on the
scene. He drew his gun and killed No.

Gators seldom venture into herd,
says the New York Sun, but will take
young cattle and calves from the wa
ter's side. These gators must have
been very hungry, Mr.. Carew thinks,
to venture a fight as they did with the
grown cattle.

two squads, who will take their meals
at separate tables. At one table the
