1t was two weeks later when Eliza
beth asked her maid if she had de-
stroyed the letter she had given to her
the eve Of the operation.
Destroy it, Miss ElizabethT the
woman answered. II though you said
to post it If you lived.
"Oh, Harmon! You surely have not
sent that letter."
"Yes, Miss Elizabeth, 1 have. 1
thought you wanted me to destroy 1t
If anything happened to you, and to
post it If you got safely through the
operation. I waited until last night to
make sure that you did not have a re-
lapse, then thought 1t was time"
Before Elizabeth could answer, a
nurse came in with a florists box in
her hand and a bright smile on her
face.
"This is for you, Miss Trent" she
said. "Shall 1 unfasten it?'
Elizabeth cried out in joyous sur
prise at the wealth of beautiful flow
ers with which the box was filed. But
her eyes went beyond them to letter
that lay partly hidden in their leaves.
ut Is from David" she whispered
ssoftly, as she gazed at the dear, IA
miliar handwriting. AS she opened 1t
with quick, trembling fingers, the
nurse and Harmon quietly went out
Of the room.
"My darling" Elizabeth read, "I
have just received your letter. Only
half an hour before, met Mansfield,
and he told me of your illness. l
thought he must be mistaken, but he
said his wife had been to see you at
the hospital yesterday. My first i'm
pulse was to go and beg them to let
me see you, but I remembered that
you would not care to have me. Feel
ing deadly miserable, 1 went back to
my rooms, and there found your letter
waiting for me. Oh, Elizabeth! 1t
seems too wonderful to be true-that
you should love me like that Why,
my dear, you were never more lovable
in my eyes than you were that night.
You looked Ill and tired, and l longed
to have the right to take care of you
and shield you from all annoyances.
When remember the hard things 1

life to endeavor to wipe them out.

this 1 will be with you. And then
my atonement will commence."-Blac

HOW ZOOS GET WILD ANIMALS
Bait Used by Recruiting Agents and
Travellers.


Getting recruits for the geological
parks is not by any means the easiest
thing in the world, though the authori-
ties themselves do not bear much of
the trouble in this connection. The
work is mainly done by travellers and
natives Of countries from which the
wild beasts come, from whom the vari-
Gus geological societies of the world
buy, except when the purchases are
made from professional wild-beast
dealers.
Some Of the latter employ regular re-
cruiting agents, whom they send out
whenever they receive orders which
they cannot execute with stock they
have in hand If the park authorities
order an African lion Of a dealer and
the dealer has not suitable beast on
hand recruiting lions in Africa begins
at once and continues until a good
specimen has been obtained.
The different methods by which the
various wild animals are captured in
their native state are interesting. Lions
are generally caught by being tempted
to thrust their heads through nooses of
strong cords composed Of twisted
hides. Pieces Of meat are used for
bait but frequently the hunters have
many days Of hard chasing before the
lion can be persuaded to try the moose.
When he does the cords are pulled
uuickly around hio throat ctiainx ht,,.
and other stout cords are then bound
around his legs. Restoratives are then
administered to revive the animal,
whose efforts to free himself from the
moose have brought on exhaustion, and
he is carried away and put in special
ly constructed cage for shipment
Tigers are more savage than lions
and can rarely be captured when full
grown. Recruiting is accordingly car
ried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young, left
without protectors, being easily caught.
The cubs readily accustom themselves
to captivity.
Perhaps the most difficult of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe, says
the New York Times. In addition to
being very rare, CRATES are exceeding.
ly tmid and are very swift-footed.
There is no special way to capture O
giraffe, as almost every way has been
tried, and all have been almost equally
unsuccessful. The method which has
occasionally resulted in capture is by
using long cord, at each end of which
is round weight. This cord is thrown
by the hunter in such manner as to
wind around the animals legs, either
bringing 1t to the ground or rendering
1t incapable Of escaping before It is
made prisoner. Most of the giraffes
In captivity have been caught by
chance when young.
