issued a writ of habeas corpus calling
on the mother to produce the child
before him. Sheriff Cochrane and
Constable Crum managed to serve

her that Judge Baton would probably
give the child back to her. The judge
hold a session of court in his resi-

child restored, the mother again grab
bed the boy, this time from the arms
Of the sheriff, and escaped to the
street. The sheriff overlook her and

a number of foreign countries. His
great reputation was made in rip

almost every city in the United States.
OF late years, he has played but a
few weeks of each season and in al
most every one Of these short seasons
he confined himself to the one char
acter of Rip Van Wrinkle
Joseph was also the name of Jeffer-
sons father and grandfather, and all
were actors. The lives of the three
were similar in that their early car
GERS were struggles for recognition, and
almost for a livelihood. Up to 1857
Mr. Jefferson is said to have merely
attained the standing of a respectable
stock actor, but in that year he be-

The end was not a surprise to his
family Ever since his last sinking

waiting for the end. Mr. Jefferson's
condition Saturday grew steadily
worse and the family, who had retired,
were summoned from their beds and

II had intended to reach village one
night, but it was getting dark and we
were couple of hours march off; SO,
finding an old zareba, or thorn inclo-

covered half an acre. 1t was only
about four feet high and four feet
thick, the thorny branches composing
it having sunk down and fallen apart.
I'VE repaired about 100 yards of it,
pitched our tent and the cook got his
fire lighted, gave me some dinner and
turned in. Our nineteen camels all
squatted in a circle to the right of
the tent, our horses were tethered near
to them, and our twenty-one men
lighted three or four fires, cooked their
food and lay down to sleep around the
camels. We also had Ave donkeys
tethered to two or three saplings,
which were growing about two PAGES
in front Of the tent and, therefore, to-
ward the center the zareba.
About 2 o'clock in the morning l
was awakened by two feeble brays,

got hold Of my rifle and a couple of
cartridges, to meet the Somali hunters
showing their woody heads thru the
tent door, saying 'Waraba! (hyena).

once felt sure that 1t was no hyena,
but a lion in the zareba.

one Of the five donkeys tethered in
front Of the tent was gazing tntently
toward the left and center. There was
black mass dhscernible in the center
of the Zareba, which, however, found
in the morning to be simply a mass OF
old dried thorn branches, so the six
or eight shots I fired in the darkness
did, little harm.
1.-THE men were now bushing the fires
and the cook supplied four or five Of the
men with sticks and with kerosene

ticed that the donkey was gazing more
to the left of the center, and guided by
the growing, which was going on con-
tinuously and furiously. l crept on
my hands and knees past the donkey
for a couple of yards. The men with
the torches were then a little behind
my right shoulder.
