sent his son to learn from the shoe
maker whether It would be possible
to trace the hide back to the factory.
The shoemaker stated that the only,
possible chance Of tracing It lay inithe
fact that the hide was peculiar in
shape, evidently having been cut on
at the shoulders and not having the
neck attached, and having a hole in
the back Of the shoulder. This tailed
with the condition Of the hide Walper
had sold eighteen months before, the
hide having been cut at the shoulder
and the horse killed BY a shot in the
heart. A letter to the manufacturer
removed all doubt and proved gt that
Walper's offense had recoiled terribly
upon himself. Il!

It scarcely carries out our idea Of ar
antelope, being a rather heavily-built
animal, which, instead Of presenting
the sleek. glossy appearance of other
members Of its family, is clothed with

hair, longer upon the neck than else

individual are lyre-shaped, and Gov

flesh Is so powerfully scented and OF
so bad a flavor as to be entirely un'

Sing-sing antelopes abound in marshy
districts ON the banks Of lakes and
rivers in central and western Africa.
If disturbed, they invariably make for
the water at full speed. Ii this way
they escape lions and leopards, who
in common with other cats are reluc-

cannot get away from the natives, who
pursue them in boats, which they pad
