The lawyer took the case and finally
collected the money. Then came a
tussle with the publisher, who failed
to live up to his end of the agreement.
He paid half of the one thousand dol

remaining $500. For the first two
months the lawyers efforts toward
settlement were conducted in digni-
fed manner. Conservative methods
proving unavailing, he resorted to
system of petty annoyance. Day after
day his errand boy was despatched to
the publishers office with a written or
verbal request to settle the account.

THE end of the season is always
the most exciting time for stalkers.
Stays then are all on the move, and
great fights take place. | have never
had the luck to witness real big
pitched battle between two champions.
| doubt whether they often fight to
the death, but the number of stays
with broken and damaged horns which
are met with after the autumn season
is over show that pretty severe con-
tests do occur. Stays always maneu-
yer, when fighting, to get their oppo-
nent down hill. They have tremen-
dous power. in their hind quarters, and
in this position can use it to the best
advantage. Deer do not fight only
with their horns, as both sexes will
rise erect on their hind legs and strike
savagely with the fore feet, the sharp
edges Of the latter making a very
nasty wound
"A rather curious fact with regard
to the fights between red deer, illus
IldIlhS TIC lOuShhSSo anu elasticity
of their skins, was told to me by
Dorsetshire agent. There was a big
park full of red deer on the estate, and
a large number of stays had been
killed owing to fights. On skinning
the dead ones he found that, though
in many cases the lungs and flesh
were pierced through and though, the
skins themselves were comparatively
uniniured"

There are certain spots known to

forests called 'soiling pools,'" says an
English writer. They are usually
peaty pools to which the stays resort,
often at night, to wallow and have a
good time generally. Here / have oc-

the sun flashing on this which had at.

nagging about little things" This
is the only excuse that Fred Boyer of

smiling races and brave hearts.

Tall trees, thickly interviewer with

African River Traced Back to
Spring from Which Wells Few
Drops of Water that Grow to
Gfpantic Stream.

Major A. st. H. Gibbons followed
the mighty Zambesi river from it's
mouth to its very source and found
the spring from which welled the
first few drops of water. He writes:
AS We progressed the undulations
became sleeper and higher, the sur
face being covered for the most part
with small decidnous trees fifteen
feet to twenty ret high. Here and
there the slopes re covered with high
bracken SIsn or eight miles
brought us to small pool, which the
guides asserted to be the beginning
of the Yambeshe. To make certain
that this was the true source, traced
the stream back along the eastern
bank until it entered another stream
500 yards farther down. Here it be-
came obvious that the Malunda were
fraudulently attempting to shorten the
journey, as this stream is quite sub
sidiary to the one it enters. Then,
following the course of the latter for
rather more than a couple of miles
and crossing three or four small trib-
utary streams on the way, l at length
found myself standing over the first
drops of water which go to make up
the mighty river of which | had seen
