charming I6-year-old lassie-she was
engaged as housekeeper for her uncle,
whose farm adjoined that OF Carroll.
A warm friendship sprang, up between
the young people, which apparently
ripened into love, and later climaxed
in the girls ruin. At the trial before
Judge Palda the girl stated that Car
roll frequently visited her at the home
of her uncle and often assisted her in
washing the dishes in the kitchen after
the supper hour. Later they found
refuge in the dining room where Car

After the child was born Miss FL
ison sent for the baby's father and
laid before him the fact that the lit

being in Strengthened financial circnm-

Carroll gave her $40. Later upon
recovering, the mother secured work

the child while she performed her du-

week from the time the child was FIVE
years old until it attained the age Of
fifteen. The attorneys for the defend
ant appealed the case to the supreme

bought revolver, and shot him as
he stood on the Boulevard de Clichy.
Tragically beautiful the young woman
stood there to be arrested after she
had put five bullets in her husbands S
body
She was sentenced to FIVE years i'm
prisonment. and during that time was
not allowed to see her child, only to re-
ceive letters. The last she received
showed that an attempt was being
made to put the child in a convent
against her will.
On liberation she went straight from
the prison to the child's guardian who
said that the girl was dead. This she
did not believe, and inquiries showed
that the girl had been placed in a Car
melite convent in the southeast OF
France. The girl had taken the veil

TRAIL OF THE JAGUAR.
His Method of killing Animals and
Catching Fish.
From Outlook.

From Outlook.
The trails of the jaguar are many,
but they nearly all lead to a river, for
water appears to be more needful to
the tiger than to any other of the cat
family. And this is not that he actu-
ally drinks more, so far as l can learn,
but rather because along the water
ways he finds an easy and abundant
food i'm the river hog, in the small deer
that come down to drink and in the
fish that swim plentifully in all these
streams.
In the Rio de la Plata, just off Bue-
nos Ayres, is an island where at one
time a number of jaguars lived and
thriVed practically on the fish they
caught, for there was nothing else on
the island, and none ever heard of
their visiting the mainland, because of
its settlement and not on account of
the distance to shore, for the tiger is
strong, bold swimmer, and minds no
river of South America, not the wild
est, If he wishes to reach the opposite
bank. He is a patient, unerring fish
erman, watching for long periods from
some vantage point, which may be
either a fallen tree trunk extending
into the stream or at the banks edge,
until a victim appear-when with a
ll5AlulIlS UlOM he nuIlS the llSu Oul OH
to the bank or clutches it as it swims
past
While the swampy jungle and the
water courses are his habitat, yet the
Jaguar will make incursions upon dry
ground if cattle or horses or dogs or
poultry offer, and river food happens
to he scarce or for the time being more
difficult to secure. 1 heard several
trustworthy accounts of cattle and
colts killed by the jaguar, though his
ravages are not so frequent as once
they were owing to his further inland
habitat. His method OF killing animals
of this size is literally to stall them
up wind, that no scent may reach the
victim, and then to spring on their
back, fastening teeth and claws in the
neck; with smaller animals the jaguar
springs for the neck at once and ap-
pears to prefer the hind quarters to
the stomach, which is left for the vul-
lures that are omnipresent in the open
country,
Tigre is a much nosier animal than
any other of the feline family, particu-
larly at night, and roams the jungle
disdainful of lesser beasts in his mani
fest superiority. And he is without
doubt absolute king of the South
American forest; there is literally
none to dispute his domain, none even
worthy to do him homage, for the
puma, which is fairly plentiful, has as
little the courage of his convictions in
South as in North America
