The tools for trimming elephants feetf

operator places beer key or strongs
box behind one huge hind foot, lightly
prods the thick ankle with his elephantS
hook and commands the beast to Hold
upw Up comes the mighty foot slowly
and heavily, but ohediently as the veltS
yety paw of q kitten. The foot is rcst-q
ed on the box or the key, where it relf
mains while the expert. works on til
much as horseshoer pares the hoof Of =
horse. Great sliyers Of the horny
sole are sliced off until it is cut nearly
to proper thickness, when the rasp is
used to smooth off. Similarly the toeS
nails are treated with the knife and thej
sandpaper, while the big patient stands
with swinging trunk and an occasional7
wag of an ear, too full of satisfactiGnI
for utterance. When the turn of tl1es
forefoot comes, the great beast is maslot
to lie down on its side and the hoofs
are propped I'D and treated. cClure's

goods and make purchases"
He called Koura. Hassan gulped
beauty.
What is it, father?"
"This good Hassan, who brought us
some of our best goods, is about to
start for the Caspian and has discov-
cred in his vessel some Of the finest
linen he brought to sell. He asks that
we go look at it. If we do not, some
one else will get it. It is late, and the
wharfs are dangerous. What do you
say?".
'.As for the lateness of the hour, it
must not interfere with good pur-
| chase. Hassan can walk the wharfs,
and with him we should be safe"
"Well spoken" said Hassan.
They We're soon ready to start. The
streets of the fair were almost desert
ed. The last band had stopped its
blare, and the lights were being extin-
guished in the bazaars. The coffee
houses alone showed signs Of life. The
merchant accompanied Hassan to the
wharf and on board his vessel. He led
them to the cabin and offered wine.
Biartelkis sat in the cabin and his
daughter near him. Hassan, looking
over the merchants shoulder, saw the
figure of Hafiz Effendi. He obeyed a
| signal.
"Permit me to depart and bring the
linen," said he and walked out.
st is strange, father" Koura was
saying, that I see no evidence that
Hassan has made preparations to start.
No sail is raised"
"He told me the men We're taking q
good sleep before starting. believe
A scarf was thrown around Koura's
mouth and her eyes We're blinded with
folds of silk. She heard a groan from
her father as Hafiz Effendi rushed up
on him and buried dagger in his
heart.
"Quick! Fasten the girl! Bring me
ropes!" he whispered to Hassan, who
was Mortified at the terrible act.
He realized that he was now in the
power of Hafiz Effendi, for the murder
had been done on his boat and he had
lured the merchant to his doom. He
silently obeyed, and the girl was bound
and placed upon a divan. Then with
deft fingers they wound cloths around
the body of the merchant, weighted it
with stones, and hurled it into the river.
"Now," said Haflz Effendi in his
blandest tones, 'listen and obey the re-
mainder of my commands"
at is horrible!" said Hassan. II did
not think''-
"Harken, fool! If you are found with
this girl on your boat, you will be
shot If Biartelllis is missed, as he
