An EIcnhnnt story.

A queer elephant yarn is told in the
Japan Chronicle by the captain of q
trading steamer. On one occasion he
had on board II cargo of forty ele-
plants. The ship was ut anchor in Il
calm sea-, but began to roll violently.
The captain Investigated and learned
that the elephants had in some way
found thai by swaying to and fro all
together Il rocking motion was produc-
ed that seemed to please them i'm
mensely. SO the great heads and bodies
rolled and swung in unison until the
steamer, which had no other cargo and
rode light, was in imminent danger
of rolling clean over. The attendants
were hurried down into the hold and.
after Il great deal of shouting and
humping, managed to stop their Ian
gerous amusement. Jules Verne tells
ms n fiction of the sinking of II ship
in that way, and the question is, Has
some one in Japan been re aiding Verne
Or was the novelist's fancS justified by
4 real experience?

The Abduction
BY c. 3. LEWIS
Copyright, 1905. by +. G. Eastmcrt
By C. 3. LEWIS

1t was Il plan conceived in the mind
of Jerry Palmer, convict No. 1870, one
night as he tossed to and fro on his
yious to the expiration of his five years
sentence. Jerry had tried thieving,
burglary and forgery and had served
sentences for all of them and after
thinking things over had concluded to
make II change. Reform was not in
cludcd in the change. Jerry strongly
believed that the world OWED him Il
living and that it was his constitutional
privilege to get that living in the east
est way possible. He would keep right
on thinking so. but he would adopt .
new and safer line.
Abduction is the thing!'' exclaimed
Jerry to his prison walls when he had
thought the matter all out. There's
more clean cash to be made in abduct-
ing some rich mans gal than in commit
ting half IL dozen burglaries, and the risk
is a mere nothing. All you'have to do is
to seiZe her, shut her up somewhere
till the fond father will pay your price
INC then produce her and lug away the
plunks 40 publicity, no police, no
prison walls. The rest of the crowd
can go ahead on old lines, but it's alb
duction for me for the rest of my nat
ural life
Jerry hadn't been out of prison two
days when he hunted up his old part
ner, Mike Donovan. and gave him the
tip. Mike. too, was ready to drop old
lines and take up something new. He
had shown energy and ambition as Il
burglar and had somewhat astonished
the police by stealing Il steam boiler
left on the public street at night. but
had found there was no money in it.
He had figured it out that the beef
trust was making more il three sec
onds that he was in three years, and if
he hadn't met Jerry he might have
opened Il saloon and sold wood alcohol
to his patrons.
The first thing was to find q rich nan
with Il daughter. No rich mans daugh-
ter can be abducted properly until aft
er she has been located. This task on
